Grazia Issue 814

AFTER THREE COVID delays, the Bond film finally had its glittering premiere last week, giving us all a reason to return to the cinema. It also reminded me of what makes something a classic. Quality, for sure. But also a subtle line between timelessness and a capacity for reinvention. (No spoilers, but you can certainly feel the influence of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s writing in No Time To Die.) That essence is something we’ve also explored elsewhere in the issue – including the creation of our first ever Grazia x Lyst Forever 15, which ranks fashion’s most popular classics using a bespoke algorithm. You’ll find items long-revered in fashion – think Max Mara’s camel coat – but also new labels set to be future classics. But most importantly, I hope you find…

Three organisations are accepting donations to enable women to travel out of state for terminations: The Lilith Fund, Fund Texas Choice and the Texas Equal Access Fund. Meanwhile, Jane’s Due Process gives advice to pregnant teens in Texas. I’ve been lucky enough not to need an abortion, but my life has been immeasurably better for knowing it would be an option. It’s not just about the consequences of unwanted children, it’s the impact of the fear that would accompany that…

A CHOICE WORTH FIGHTING FOR Good on Polly Vernon for speaking so openly about her abortions (The one thing we can do about the Texas abortion laws, 4 Oct). I am pro-choice but wish that choice was real. As much as women are pressured into having children they can be pressured into having a termination because they’re scared and not in a good place emotionally.
