SO, IS ‘FREEDOM’ finally here? Whisper it, but it feels like you might actually be able to plan a holiday abroad, skip off to friends for the weekend or just book tickets for something this spring without living under a spectre of uncertainty. And that means it’s time to rediscover the joy of getting dressed again. The fun of planning a work outfit when you really want to boss a meeting; or mastering a going out-out look, complete with smoky eye. From key trends to styling tricks, making the most of that clean slate is what this Big Fashion Issue is all about… It’s time to dress for the 2022 you want! @hattie_brett / feedback@ graziamagazine.co.uk…

It started with an Instagram post. In May 2021, cradling a tiny pair of feet, Naomi Campbell, 51, revealed she had become a mother. The joyous moment quickly descended into online speculation about how the model conceived, whether she carried, who the father was. This month, she talked about having her daughter, saying of her ‘biggest blessing’, ‘She wasn’t adopted.’ But why did she have to clarify? Regardless of her star status, Naomi does not owe us an explanation. It’s public discourse like this that spills over into all women’s lives, making personal matters seem like fair game. Let’s leave Naomi’s womb alone and celebrate this new life instead.…

FROM THE MOMENT he swept her off her feet and on to the back of his motorbike, naked, we’ve been unable to tear our eyes away from ‘Kimye’. For much of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s relationship, that’s exactly how they’ve wanted it. From his public pining for her while she was in other relationships to their whirlwind courtship, Vogue cover and wedding – not to mention much of their almost decade-long relationship being televised on Keeping Up With The Kardashians – this was a couple who loved attention. But now, one year into divorce proceedings, their split has turned ugly, leaving many of us feeling unsure of where to look. Relations have deteriorated rapidly in recent months. In December, Kim, 41, applied to be considered ‘legally single’, citing an…

GIVEN THE CAMPAIGN for the refreshed BOSS brand stars personalities with a combined social media following of 400 million, it was no surprise that the launch party in a Dubai desert earlier this month was like a playground for content creators. There was Khaby Lame – the second most followed person on TikTok, famous for silently mocking life hack videos – and his bodyguards chasing across the dunes in 4x4s. Models, athletes and influencers sand-skiing, surfing and taking selfies with camels. And, in a somewhat meta move, Mindy and Alfie from Emily In Paris watching from Bedouin tents. So what would Emily herself have made of such social-media catnip? ‘She’d be taking pictures everywhere,’ Lucien Laviscount, who plays Alfie, tells Grazia . ‘And Alfie would be at the bar!’ Lucien…

1 Five-a-day Eudon Choi’s spring/ summer offering is a veritable who’s who of the fruit and veg aisle, with tomato reds sitting happily alongside citrus brights. Chet Lo, Ottolinger, Prabal Gurung and Proenza Schouler also raided the fruit bowl for their colour palettes. 2 BOTTEGA VENETA, MSGM and Rejina Pyo all showed us the new (improved) way to rock a Canadian tux, but it was ‘JuliYe’ – having their own Britney and Justin moment in Paris – who made us reconsider double denim. 3 TEENAGE DIRTBAG Pre-pubescent boys with jeans halfway down their bums might be clueless in many respects, but they’re on to something when it comes to the low-rise waistband… MIU MIU 4 THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT It’s not just Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid and half of Instagram wearing…

NEARLY TWO YEARS into a pandemic that has changed almost everything about our daily lives, one thing has become clear: the power of companionship. In fact, that very human desire has only intensified, solidifying all manner of relationships and creative partnerships as we came to lean on one another, for solace and laughter, when the going got tough. Amber Anderson, the actor about to join Peaky Blinders, relied on a decade-old friendship with Olivia Vaughan-Fowler, the founder of a tech company. They met through a mutual friend in their early twenties – ‘I stole her from him because she was so wonderful,’ recalls Olivia – and always made the effort to check in with one another despite living on opposite sides of London. ‘We live about four miles from each…

LOUIS VUITTON WONDERLUST TIFFANY & CO BLACK & GOLD YOU ARE PROBABLY familiar with Henry Ford’s famous remark that a customer could have a Model T ‘in any colour, so long as it’s black’. For fashion purists that quip is advice to dress by. Easy and elegant, cool and classic: why do you need options other from black? There’s no reason to stop at an LBD, however. The equally chic way to wear it is on your jewellery. Onyx is your stone to know now, found on everything from Cartier’s Les Berlingots de Cartier cocktail ring to an all-new spin on the Tiffany T bracelet. Because as even fashion purists will concede: the only thing better than black, is black and gold.…

‘At times it felt like Nolan was holding a mirror up to my twenties. This captivating book is a dark account of what can happen when you get what you think you want.’ Fiona ‘I loved it. It’s thought-provoking and made me rethink some of my past behaviours. I started to care for her and in turn it made me realise I should be kinder to myself.’ Camille ‘A compelling but gruelling look into the inner workings of a codependent relationship. A damaged woman finds what she thinks is love with a cold, uncaring man.’ Chloe ‘Heartfelt and poignant, this is a story of dysfunction and repeat patterns of behaviour. Many women will be able to relate.’ Bettina…

COTTONING ON I enjoyed Fearne Cotton’s wise words in Why it’s time to be kinder – to yourself (21 Feb). As we crawl out of the pandemic it is vital to have dollops of self-compassion so we love others to the best of our ability. Following Fearne’s advice I’m setting healthy boundaries, asking myself, am I doing more of what I love? Thanks Fearne. Jules FOX NEWS I must take issue with you describing Julia Fox as an ‘international mega-star’ and comparing her to Madonna (Julia Fox: the making of a fashion superstar; 21 Feb). Fox is not a household name! Normal people (outside fashion) wouldn’t recognise her if they fell over her. Plus Madonna – an actual global superstar – became famous for her own talents not because of…

I ENTER THIS NEW (I think we dare call it an ‘epoch’, don’t you? It deserves grandeur…) with considerably more demands made of my wardrobe than before. 2019 Pre-pan [1]) asked only Caszh[2] , Business Caszh[3] , Full Fashion and Gym of it. But now? Mine is suddenly a ‘portfolio wardrobe’; as regimented and specific as the sort I imagine a royal packs for a state tour. New in for 2022: Dog Walking Chic, a concept hardy and dark enough to disguise mud, with pockets capacious enough for poo bags, training leads and reusable coffee cups, but which must also – and I cannot emphasise this enough – look good. I’ve landed on: leggings tucked into combat boots, a pop of gaudy sock between the two, top note of a…

FASHION MONTH is usually a who’s who of five-figure handbags and waiting list shoes (Prada’s logo slingbacks this season, FYI). And while we’ve seen plenty of both, on the streets of New York and beyond, the stylish set have also invested in small touches that deliver big impact. The best news? Not only are they affordable, they might not cost you anything at all (except the time it takes to have a rummage in the back of your wardrobe). Ready, set, dig! BROOCHES Brooches, often passed over for flashy earrings and power necklaces, are due a comeback. Wear a trio (which you can easily source from your nearest charity shop) on the lapel of your favourite blazer. SUPERSIZED SCARVES In Copenhagen and New York, the fashion set dug out their…

PHOTO: BACKGRID A FRIENDLY WORD of advice as we enter the new season: mind your step because something ominous awaits in the form of ultra-baggy trousers that pool at the feet. If you dare to wear them, you’re just one mistimed hem tread away from face-planting the pavement. Puddles must also be approached with caution, because what is on the floor one minute is up your leg the next. And while you’re at it, avoid proximity to others, unless soggy, ripped trousers are your idea of a stylish time. If they’re not, you don’t know what you’re missing. Some of you can’t relate to the covetous envy evoked by watching All Saints on Top Of The Pops in Carhartt cargos and Timberland boots. Some of you have not spent your…

PHOTOS: GETTY ARE PRINCE WILLIAM and Kate on the move? It’s rumoured The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are house-hunting in Windsor, moving from Kensington Palace to the provinces. It’s certainly true that when Charles becomes King, the Cambridges are expected to take over Windsor Castle, while Charles and Camilla – now set to be crowned Queen – move into ‘Monarchy HQ’, Buckingham Palace. But even before then, Kate and William need a Berkshire bolthole as it’s thought Kate wants to move George, eight, and Charlotte, six, into new schools as early as September, when Louis, three, starts reception. When the three children were small, the family lived in Norfolk, at their 10-bedroom country house Anmer Hall and relished the quiet and seclusion. Even after George started school in London,…

HEARTBREAK, AT ITS worst, is visceral, physical, all-consuming. In December 2019, a few months before we would be plunged into lockdown chaos, my relationship of five years broke down. Any break-up is bad, but a break-up at Christmas? Very, very bad indeed. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep – the future I’d planned in my head, the wedding, babies, growing old together, had disappeared overnight. There’s nothing more isolating than going through gut-wrenching heartbreak at a time when Mariah Carey is blasting out in every department store and Instagram is rife with photos of couples in matching pyjamas. Then came the pandemic and, by March 2020, I found myself living alone, newly single and having to confront what felt like a terrifying new reality: one without a partner, timeline or…

LAST SEPTEMBER, and back on the catwalk after an 18-month hiatus, Rejina Pyo gave her bow at her spring/ summer ’22 London Fashion Week show barefoot – and heavily pregnant. For those watching from their poolside seats at the London Aquatics Centre, it was an emotional ending to a show that opened with three divers pitching themselves into the water like perfectly syncronised starfish and featured a line-up of models with actual hips and bottoms. ‘We were trying to show different bodies,’ says Rejina. ‘There were lots of outfits with boobs out.’ Not only that but, from beginning to middle to end, she celebrated the full spectrum of what a woman’s body is capable of. ‘I think that’s why people were saying they were crying,’ says Rejina. ‘That’s a whole…

LAPOINTE HIP STRAP How low can you go? If you’re a pair of Balmain slinky trousers then the answer is very. And you know what that means... time for your thong to go public again. BALMAIN THE RETURN OF THE PEPLUM Formerly a relic of the 2010s, the peplum has made a surprise resurgence. What’s even more surprising is how chic it now looks. CELINE HIGHLIGHTER HIGH LIGHTS Not so much stepping into the spotlight as eclipsing it, accessories get an acidic update in zingy neon shades. VERSACE THE HALF TUX For those days when you’ve completely over-booked, take inspiration from Fendi in sleeveless tailoring: the perfect piece to take you from office to out-out, and back again. FENDI PARTY SHOES Loewe candle heels will make every day feel like…

SULTRY SMOULDER The new smoky eye is easy to nail. ‘Using just one soft-matte eyeshadow makes it feel lighter and more wearable,’ says James Malloy, the pro behind the looks here. If it’s not picture perfect, don’t worry: ‘That’s what makes it modern.’ Finish with a slick of mascara, like Diorshow Iconic Overcurl 090, £29. LUXE LACQUER PHOTOGRAPHS SIMON MCGUIGAN MAKE-UP JAMES MOLLOY FOR DIOR BEAUTY BEAUTY DIRECTION AND WORDS JOELY WALKER STYLING MOLLY HAYLOR Glossed eyes are cool, but can they ever be wearable? James advises starting slow and building up to full lacquered lids. ‘Use gloss sparingly at first, either on the inner corners or in the middle of the eye for a highlight.’ Want to go full-throttle? Invest in a dedicated eye gloss to layer over eyeshadow.…

SASHA IS AN aspiring singer who may or may not have set her ex-boyfriend’s front garden on fire last night. A tired Met police officer visits her family home in east London to tell her to stay away. A row ensues. So Sasha does what Sasha always does when problems arise, burying herself in weed and her smartphone to escape. Sasha Clayton is the brilliant creation of actor, writer and singer-songwriter Nicôle Lecky (remember the name, she’s a superstar in the making). Adapted from her critically acclaimed Royal Court show, in Mood Lecky’s impeccable ear for the hopes and dreams of Gen Z are filtered through Sasha’s slow moral descent. Smart musical interludes punctuate Sasha’s journey as she is thrown out of home and forced to fend for herself. Her…

ASK THE EXPERT ‘Dry January made me want to quit drinking for good, but will I miss out?’ Veronica Valli is a sobriety coach and the author of Soberful: Uncover A Sustainable, Fulfilling Life Free Of Alcohol In my experience, this is the biggest reason that most people have for not quitting alcohol: the belief that if they don’t drink, they will be ‘missing out’. What they are going to miss out on is often ill-defined, yet it is a strong and powerful force that either pushes people to continue drinking long past the point of fun or to put enormous effort into trying to moderate, with little success. You may have noticed that being alcohol-free or sober curious has become a thing recently. And you may have been wondering…

I read with concern Jack Monroe’s piece on food poverty (21 Feb) because it’s true. My partner and I both work full-time but are not on good salaries; we’re heading into the cost-of-living crisis with a budget that is already under pressure and sinking deeper into poverty. I can’t even think about April’s energy price hikes. We need urgent action from this Government: an emergency payment to families on the lowest incomes to help us through. Relying on charity to pay for school uniforms and food is embarrassing. And I don’t want to have to choose between eating or heating – but it might come to that. Madeleine…

ELIZABETH HURLEY, 1994 ‘At the Four Weddings And A Funeral premiere, everyone dressed in summer wedding outfits but Liz took us all by surprise and turned up in that Versace dress. Other photographers were trying to get a front-on shot but I stepped to the side; I knew the dress needed movement to capture the beautiful curve of the safety pins. That dress took her to another level.’ FOR OVER 30 YEARS there’s rarely been a film premiere, VIP afterparty or glitzy awards night that celebrity photographer Dave Benett hasn’t attended, camera in hand. Thanks to his charm – and knack for making the A-list look amazing no matter how hard they’ve been partying – he’s one of the most trusted photographers in the business, on first name terms with…

PHOTOS: HARLEY WEIR AT ART PARTNER COURTESY OF JIMMY CHOO FOR SANDRA CHOI, creative director of Jimmy Choo, the signifier of a job well done is when people are having so much fun, feeling so fabulous, if you like, that they forget about their shoes. ‘They shouldn’t be thinking about their feet,’ she says. It’s an admirable, though perhaps unlikely, ambition this season. For S/S ’22, Sandra has joined forces with Mugler creative director Casey Cadwallader for a new collaborative capsule that is unforgettable for all the right reasons. Megan Fox and Dua Lipa are already fans. Conversations between Sandra and Casey began in 2019. Given their shared appreciation of ‘how a pair of shoes can transform everything and put you in the right mindset’, she felt a synergy between…

The death of Sarah Everard threw a spotlight on male violence and the wider issue of how misogyny permeates our society. Tackling this should not be women’s burden to bear, but many feel a renewed sense of urgency to fight. Meaningful change is slow and difficult to achieve – but it is possible. Here, leaders and activists share their advice. Mandu Reid, leader of the Women’s Equality Party Meaningful, feminist change comes from everywhere, including community organising, volunteering with local organisations and petitioning your local councillors and MP to address a need in your community. Never feel helpless or hopeless, you can make a difference. Like the ripple from a stone thrown into a pool, change is made up of waves that gradually spread out further and further. The size…

THE LONDON-BASED artist and designer Osman Yousefzada knows more than most about glamour and celebrity. His womenswear – impeccably tailored and often playing with inventive textures and beautiful prints – has been worn by Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Halle Berry, Taylor Swift and a dozen other household names. For the last three years, however, he’s spent almost every weekend at his family home in Birmingham, in a world that has very little to do with red carpets or champagne receptions. There, he’s been caring for his beloved Pakistani-Afghan mother, who moved to the UK in 1971, and died this year on 1 January. Two-and-a-half thousand people came to pay their respects over three days of funeral prayers. It’s this life of extreme contrasts that forms the focus of Osman’s…

1. The metallic moment Whether lime, silver or rose, Rejina’s always been a fan of magpie metallics. 2. The sunshine dress The high street’s obsession with puffed sleeves can probably be traced back to this dress’s supersized set. 3. The cut-out jeans Rejina’s denim is famously dressed-up, like this straight-legged pair with playful cut-outs. 4. The bow-tie bag Tiffany Hsu’s a famous fan of the designer’s bow-tie bag; a sweet barrel shape that can be tucked under the arm or clasped top-handle style. 5. The mix-and-match buttons Rejina’s buttons are always eye-catching – and often mismatched – for a look-twice effect that you don’t often see on fastenings. PHOTOS: GETTY…

AT ONE POINT in this story, the narrator, a 23-year-old university drop-out, tells her readers, ‘I didn’t just love Ciaran, I loved him darkly.’ Ciaran is the cold, sometimes cruel writer who, as she puts it, ‘was the first man I worshipped’. The book explores their often toxic relationship, one that will leave you feeling protective yet despairing of our nameless narrator. She’s obsessive, while Ciaran is indifferent. And readers may struggle to understand the attraction of sulky Ciaran, who hates her getting drunk, is rude to her friends and occasionally violent. But, as Nolan told Grazia , it isn’t as simple as that. ‘I started writing it when I was 25 and at the tail end of a couple of really bad relationships. Ciaran isn’t likeable, but it didn’t…

PHOTO OF BATSHEVAIN HER LAURA ASHLEY COLLABORATION BY ALEXI HAY Batsheva is for people who love wearing fun dresses. Playfulness is a big part of the way I like to dress and the way I see clothing. I want to make pieces that people feel really excited about, that give them a real boost to wear. It’s influenced by the past but with weird twists and combinations. I was a lawyer before, for about five years. I hated every moment of being in the office because of what I had to wear. So it made it more radical that after I left I could dress however I wanted. I was like, ‘I’m going for it!’ Now I’ve done fashion for as long as I did law. The starting point was…
