For a while now, fashion has embraced androgyny – oversized clothes have been taken to the absolute limit, flats became our shoe of choice, body-con left the building… But the fashion world always swings from one extreme to another and, at the A/W ’16 shows, we spied sexiness creeping back in. Or, in the case of Miu Miu, stomping – in 10-inch stilettos (see page 146). But sexiness can also be more subtle than that – or so says Victoria Beckham in our exclusive interview. On page 186, she dissects her two decades of style – hits and misses – and her newfound happiness. And Ashley Graham, the world’s most successful plus-size model, bares all on page 194 to challenge the notion that only skinny = sexy. We’re really excited…

Main photo: artwork for Donna Summer’s single I Love You. Other photos: Rex, Josefina Alazraki LOVE THE VINTAGE look, but baulk at the idea of trawling through a thrift rail? Then here’s how to get the fun of the vintage fair without all the polyester and whiff of mothballs. This A/W ’16, Zandra Rhodes has teamed up with shopping mecca Matches and creative consultant Grace Woodward to create 10 so-good-you’ll-pinch-yourself frocks that conjure up the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. How? Because these were the very dresses that fashion’s great and good wore in those decades, when Zandra first designed them – remastered as limited-edition redesigns. As she herself noted, ‘My historical archive has been a catalyst for many other designers, but now is the right time to present a collection…

ALEXANDER WANG Photos: Catwalking.com, Rex Features, Xposure, Instagram.com/ taylaloux, maneaddicts, taaav, tasher_spencer, victoriapullen, jordanoakleyhair MODEL KATIE MOORE was among the first to debut the high-octane hue last season, as she opened the Alexander Wang show in New York. Chanelling Milla Jovovich’s Fifth Element character Leeloo, her micro fringe and jaunty crop supplied sci-fi cool in droves. And catwalk comrades Natalie Westling and Kiki Willems followed suit, serving up the hyper tone on their long lengths. Georgia May Jagger and Rita Ora have also recently joined the ranks, embracing technicolour tangerine. On Instagram, Georgia quashed any suspicion she hadn’t actually taken the plunge with the hashtag #notawig. And ever one to experiment, Rita wove fluorescent extensions through her swinging pony. ‘There has been a demand for punchy colour for some time…

Katie's hair: Mikey Kardashian using Philip B. Katie's make-up: Buster Knight using MAC. Katie wears blazer, Alexander McQueen at harveynichols.com; body, Topshop Katie Price THE LADS’ MAG PIN-UP KATIE PRICE IS A PARADOX . One minute she is slightly perplexed as she struggles to define sexy. ‘When I was younger, I used to think less was better. You know: little skirts, legs out, boobs out. That’s all part of growing up. Now… I don’t know about this sexiness thing. You’d think I’d know, because I’ve made a career out of it.’ Minutes later, she pouts, ‘I’m just pure sexiness, darling. I don’t want to feel sexy, I know I’m sexy – and that’s the difference.’ While the concept of sexy is open to interpretation, many would describe Katie’s version as…

‘YOU ARE BOLD , you are brilliant, you are beautiful.’ This is Ashley Graham’s number one life motto. (She has a few.) She declares it – to herself – at any given opportunity, with gusto, conviction and preferably naked. (She is starkers when I arrive at the shoot.) ‘You have to really talk to your body parts,’ Ashley implores. ‘The ones you really hate, get in front of the mirror and say: “Cellulite, you are so sexy; thick thighs YOU are so sexy that you can’t stop groping each other.”’ Ashley is not just a big girl – at 5ft 9in, she is a US size 18, which is a UK size 22 – she has a mahoosive presence, too. A booming, dirty laugh, oodles of energy, and a habit…

Sensai: harrods.com Where we spotted it On models behind the scenes at Creatures Of The Wind, where metallic half-moon manicures ruled the runway. Why we loved it Chrome nails make a mani fashionably futuristic, while a swipe of brassy gold across the cuticles adds a head-turning edge. Ways to wear it To get a smooth, even finish, ensure the base layer of polish is completely dry before adding the crescent moon. Pair with a low-key outfit – head-to-toe black makes a perfect blank canvas.…

The trans parent of Transparent is Maura Pfefferman. As we enter the third season of the show, it may be time to anoint Maura as one of the new golden age of TV’s all-time great characters, up there as a totem of her times with Carrie Bradshaw, Frank and Claire Underwood, Hannah Horvath, Omar Little and Tyrion Lannister. Maura is played by Jeffrey Tambor, an actor tender enough to pick at the scab of her pathos. Season three will earn its publicity stripes for a deft, magical cameo from Caitlyn Jenner, who appears in episode three in a dental chair hallucination to Maura’s most dysfunctional offspring, Ali (Gaby Hoffman: so many heart emojis), and the elite starriness of its support cast. Anjelica Huston is Maura’s love interest, Cherry Jones her…

‘PEOPLE OFTEN TRY NOT TO BE TOO CHILDISH; I TRY AND DO THE OPPOSITE’ HENRY HOLLAND, 33 We ask the designer to take an exclusive selfie – and reveal all Who is your best friend? Jessica Fletcher, who I run my company with. I met her when I was 12 and we’ve pretty much been together every day since. She’s mannish, I’m girly, so we meet in the middle. What’s your biggest regret? Not dressing more adventurously when I was young. I wish I had been more daring and crazy. If you can’t look back at pictures of yourself without thinking you looked absolutely ridiculous, then you really didn’t try hard enough. What’s your biggest extravagance? Shoes. The first thing I ever bought for more than £1,000 was a pair…

CHLOE BLOCH Grazia’s style editor 1 HIGH STREET HERO Coat, £95, ASOS (asos.com). This clever hybrid nods to both the bomber jacket and military coat trends at once. 2 HOT LABEL Top, £575, Magda Butrym (net-a-porter.com). Butrym’s take on this season’s ruffles is refreshingly new, mixed with sporty silhouettes and visible zips. 3 CATWALK PICK Top, approx £102 (intermixonline.com), skirt, £580 (net-a-porter.com), both Beaufille. Monochromes needn’t be neutral, and this printed look is anything but basic. 4 REPEAT OFFENDER Loafers, £275, Dorateymur (brownsfashion.com). Loafers are my go-to, but not just any pair – I’ve fallen for these buckled beauties. 5 INVESTMENT BUY Jeans, approx £230, Khaite (theline.com).

Photos: Getty Images, LMK, Splash LAST WEEK, KATE MOSS sparked a new round of speculation that she could be engaged to her boyfriend of one year, Nikolai von Bismarck, when she was pictured in London wearing what looked suspiciously like an engagement ring. It followed claims that the pair were planning a Greek wedding after Nik had apparently proposed during a holiday in Venice. According to one account, ‘They are aiming to tie the knot before Christmas, but Kate is waiting to finalise her divorce from Jamie Hince.’ However, speaking exclusively to Grazia , Kate’s long-time friend Jo Wood has dismissed the rumours. ‘She’s not marrying him!’ she said. ‘I must call [Kate’s friend] Fran Cutler immediately and tell her that people are actually saying this!’ The ex-wife of rocker…

Photos: Getty Images, X17online IN THE 15 MONTHS since they announced their plans to divorce, friends of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have grown increasingly convinced that a reconciliation is on the cards. The pair have continued to live together and, as recently as June, Ben was still referring to Jen as ‘my wife’, while she had described him in a magazine interview as ‘the love of my life’. Now sources tell Grazia that Jen has finally ruled out any reunion. According to one, ‘In recent months, Jen has become concerned that Ben has been gambling, drinking and God knows what else again. She really cares about him, and knows he’s been trying to make things work, but she can’t risk having her heart broken again. She’s made it clear…

THE GREAT BRITISH BRUSH OFF Mel and Sue, aka the bread and butter of the BBC’s The Great British Bake Off, prompted the biggest upset since Brexit by announcing that they won’t be following the show when it moves to Channel 4.

 SNEAKERS – THEY’RE THE EASIEST , sure-fire, always on-point shoe to pull off. We’re not talking any old trainer, though. We’re talking about the iconic Converse – with a modern twist. Introducing the Chuck Taylor All Star Gemma Stingray iteration. This stingray-style leather trainer, designed in collaboration with OFFICE, comes in four shades – gold, silver, mint and black – to make you swoon. “WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE ICONIC CONVERSE – WITH A NEW SPARKLY TWIST” The Gemma has had a sleek, style upgrade too and now boasts a super-elegant almond-shaped toe and high-shine mid-sole. So how to wear them? Team with a trouser suit for a cool workwear look, be bang-on-trend and pair them with a wide pant and oversize jacket, or why not work a cool, off-duty look…

THERE WAS A TIME we dedicated a crazy amount of hours to taming the hair we were born with. We feared frizz, dreaded drizzle and avoided humid holidays like the plague. Now rainy days are no longer an issue, with fashion favouring curls in all their glory – the frothier and fuzzier the better. ‘The fashion industry is celebrating unique looks and individual personalities right now,’ says Syd Hayes, UK hair ambassador for L’Oréal Paris. ‘And exuberant curls are part of this – they are spirited and cool.’ Indeed, mould-breaking manes, billowing clouds of curls and unruly ringlets were seen everywhere from Gucci to Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, DVF and Altuzarra. And unsurprisingly, the demand for models lucky enough to be blessed with this need-it-now texture – think Natalie Westling, Mica…

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER A/W ’09   Lara Stone is one of the sexiest models ever to grace the runway, but the original wearer of the undone beehive was, of course, Bardot. So sexy was Brigitte that she’s also credited with kicking off summer’s off-the-shoulder EVERYTHING look. CHRISTOPHER KANE S/S ’07 It was the surprise jewellery trend of 2016, but Christopher Kane has known the value of a glitzy choker since 2007. DOLCE & GABBANA A/W ’08 When Gisele strutted down Dolce’s A/W ’08 runway in a full-length sparkling gown, complete with metal corset belt, the fashion world went wild.

CHRISTOPHER KANE MIU MIU HOLLAND & HOLLAND HOLLAND & HOLLAND Photos: Goff, catwalking.com, Rex, Xposure  FOR A/W ’16, Prada sent models down the catwalk in tweed skirts, argyle socks and quilted waterproof jackets. They looked fab (if a bit eccentric) – and also, rather like our Queen about to go horse riding at Balmoral. But Prada wasn’t the only show to pay style homage to Her Majesty: at Miu Miu, longline waxed jackets were layered over miniskirts, Chanel’s bouclé-panelled boots looked spot on for a walk through the grounds – and at Christopher Kane, models wore their hair tucked into headscarves that knotted under the chin. For the relaunch of heritage brand Holland & Holland, inspiration came from ‘an amazing 80-year-old lady who is stylish from the inside out’, according…

Photos: Photoshot, INF Photo, Getty, AKM/GSI/Xposure SHE’S WORN A MEAT DRESS and been reborn from an egg, but it was the sight of Lady Gaga doing a grocery shop with Bradley Cooper that made us do a double take. The pair were pictured in Malibu recently, with insiders telling Grazia that the unlikely scene was in preparation for their upcoming film, a remake of A Star Is Born . Bradley, who is both starring and making his directorial debut with the film, is said to be insistent that he and Gaga take a ‘method acting’ approach to their leading roles, with the pair spending as much time as possible together in a bid to make their on-screen chemistry believable. ‘It’s a huge project for Bradley and he wants to build…

Photos: Express Pics, catwalking.com, Instagram/@jasoncollierjc *I’m in New York, on a little light Fashion Week business, which is as glamorous as it sounds, though also: discombobulating, lonely and jet-lagged. To break up the relentless weirdness of four days spent only in the company of people who don’t know me but will judge me for my seat allocation, I go for dinner with three legit fash industry friends: Beth, my friend from LA, K, my friend from London, and Kristen, Beth’s friend from New York. We discuss online dating, which Beth and Kristen are doing, K used to do before she met her boyfriend (not online), and I’ve never done. And this is when I learn about Text One Nighters. ME: What? KRISTEN: It’s where a guy texts you and…

HAVEYOU EVER HAD a eureka style moment? An item of clothing that transforms the way you think about getting dressed? Perhaps you have a kind of daily uniform – an outward manifestation of who you are. Or is it? Could it be that it merely represents just one of the many selves you contain within you? That you’re simply waiting for that special piece to come along and electrify your style identity? My moment arrived a few years ago. As the admin assistant (yes, it was exactly as glamorous as it sounds) of a literary agent, it was my job to go to the bank each day to pay in publishers’ cheques. On the way, happily, my route took me past the shops of Kensington High Street. Occasionally, if I…

Growing up in the Czech Republic, I was never that girl. I was sporty, good in school, never wore anything short. All I wanted to do was fit in, but as the tallest girl in the class, with extremely long arms and legs and big, BIG teeth, I stood out – just not for the best reasons. Miuccia Prada discovered me in 1999, when I was 15. I was the exclusive girl and opened the show. The whole collection was made on me in Milan two weeks before the show. It was the first time people in the industry saw me. I’m still the…

“I FEEL HAPPIER IN MY SKIN NOW THAN AT 20” THE THEME OF THIS Big Fashion Issue is ‘sexy’, so who better in the business of fashion than Victoria Beckham to discuss the subject? On the one hand, there’s her chameleonic style evolution spanning 20 years, as provocatively sexy in the first decade as it has been dramatically reinvented in the second. From Posh to footballer’s wife to celebrated fashion entrepreneur, she’s taken us on the journey of her every corset, breast implant, stiletto and Stan Smith trainer. On the other hand, not content with being just an extremely famous person, she set about reinventing and re-educating herself and along the way gave birth to a phenomenally successful fashion brand, whose signature style – sexy, body-contouring dresses – is still…

The start of a new season calls for a new look, but don’t panic – the secret to on-trend A/W ’16 style comes down to one key piece – the bomber jacket. The sportswear staple had a luxe makeover on the catwalks, and F&F is our one-stop shop to bag a bomber without breaking the bank. Pair their embroidered two-tone satin take with a pleated skirt for en pointe eveningwear, or take this season’s fabric of choice, velvet, out for a spin – layer over a fine knit roll neck for the cooler weekends to come. A longline bomber is an easy way to trial the animal-print trend; or tap into our military jacket obsession with a padded khaki green zip-up. The bomber is a must buy – whichever one…
