HANDS UP, WHO'S ready for spring? There's something so liberating about putting that puffer coat back in your wardrobe until next winter, swapping boots for shiny new loafers and digging out your sunglasses for the blue skies ahead. That's the vibe of this, our Big Fashion Issue. I hope you'll find our edit of the best new pieces to buy useful, but also discover lots of ideas as to how you can re-spin wardrobe classics you already own. On Page 108, we also delve into the second-hand clothing movement that's finally gaining traction, too. Because buying brand new isn't the only way to get a jolt of newness into your wardrobe. And that's a trend we can all get onboard with.…

ACCUSATIONS OF Dominic Raab's bullying behaviour keep coming. The latest come from Gina Miller, who claims the now Deputy Prime Minister called her ‘stupid’ and ‘naive’ when the two met in a BBC studio in 2016, then screamed obscenities at a minion charged with finding him a car. And doesn't it raise some complex issues (even though Raab has subsequently denied ever swearing at staff)? Like, on the one hand, if he did say and do the things he's alleged to: gross. On the other, when politics is shouty and tense and highly strung, isn't it inevitable some of its key players will, at times, take it too far; that, while all hoiked up on the pressure of Impossible Decisions and spiralling living costs of a nation, they'll drift into…

SHARPEN YOUR pleats and polish your loafers: students of fashion, the preppy trend is back. See the OG Ivy Leaguers Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Thom Browne, who offer collegiate crests and striped cotton Oxford shirts. With J Crew's return to cool, all thanks to womenswear director Olympia Gayot, a shiny penny loafer and striped rugby shirt have perfected the campus look. For the season ahead, preppy is more off-duty Princess Diana (or Hailey Bieber) than Made In Chelsea yuppie. Try cotton boxer shorts paired with an oversized sweatshirt and ankle-grazing overcoat. Simple yet smart accessories work best: a sleek tote bag, neat shiny loafers and minimal ‘90s sunglasses will ensure you're top of the class.…

TRIPLE DENIM? Yes, says Lily Aldridge. ‘The American model has co-designed a new collection with Max Mara Weekend; the edit, From Lily With Love, includes ‘70s-style peasant blouses, embroidered denim and a white linen three-piece suit essentially the off-duty, rock'n'roll wardrobe the Cali native is known for. It definitely represents all the different styles I have. Everything is made to be worn day-to-night and mixed and matched. I love denim-on-denim-on-denim. I live in Tennessee so I wear this every day!’ she told Grazia of the collection. ‘I want you to feel like you can go from the beach to dinner to the city.’ The wafty, broderie anglaise dresses chime perfectly with the ‘70s bohemian look about to hit the small screen in Daisy Jones & The Six (see p56) -…

GRAZIA FEATURE HERE'S A TIRED little quip I've been making for the past couple of months when asked if I have any news: ‘I've moved in with an older man. And his wife.’ Since an older man is very on brand for me, but polyamory is (to date) not, I am met with confusion. Then, I am obliged to clarify: the older man is my dad, his wife is my mum. Hilarious, right? Moving back in with my parents deep into my thirties was never part of my grand plan. This time a year ago - set up solo in northwest London - it wasn't even a peripheral possibility. I had made the flat my own, except for the fact that, as a renter, it wasn't actually, you know, my…

ETERNAL SUNSHINE Pair simple swimwear with neon accessories - Jimmy Choo's heels will require sunglasses. RIDE THE WAVE Dive straight into JW Anderson's new aquatic prints. MAKE A SPLASH Moschino's inflatable accessories are the summer essentials we never knew we needed. GREAT HEIGHTS Strut into the new season in Fendi's Granny Smith green rubber wedges. HEADGEAR ON… Don't forget your swimming cap! Max Mara's is giving the retro vibes we love. TOWELS AT THE READY Matching your bikini, towel and bag? Yes, it's officially a thing. JELLY AND (SUN) CREAM Switch out your pool slides for a gummy upgrade. SHADE SEEKERS Slip on a T-shirt, slop on the sunscreen and slap on a hat -preferably Dior's.…

GRAZIA INTERVIEW IT'S A FRIDAY evening in September and a weirdly wonderful gaggle of girls and boys is enlivening an otherwise subdued, inconspicuous corner of London's Bayswater. Filtering into Porchester Hall, they wear T-shirts with cartoon graphics, colourful fleeces and, most popularly, patchwork pleated skirts - long ones and short ones, worn with decorative blouses or over jeans - that would be trad were it not for their heavy silver hardware and sturdy leather belts. ‘What's going on? A gig?’ my cabbie asks me as I'm paving up. Well, kind of. Certainly the event that is about to kick off is generating both the same excitement, camaraderie and feverish fandom that a fanatically followed band might generate. The short, factual answer, however, is no: I'm going to a fashion show.…

Have your say… Email us at feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk Find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @GraziaUK FASHION SENSE Reading How I've gone clothes sober (6 Feb) was a relief. The quick-click convenience means I blow cash more easily shopping online than I do in-store, especially during sales season. The buzz of buying lasts until delivery but is then replaced by the negative emotions of guilt and shame as I already have too many clothes. So, like your writer, I started the year with a resolution to only spend on clothes what I make from selling old ones. I need to value what I have rather than covet what I don't have. Thanks for showing me I am not alone. Catherine Star letter CYCLES OF VIOLENCE There were correlating themes in Every…

1. Up JULIA FOX Tripped up to the Elena Velez fashion show in a transparent dress, carrying a bag made from condoms. It'd be très dull without her, and you know it. 2. New in ASAKE Nigerian music star who is also renowned for the creative ways in which he wears denim. We are very much looking to him for future styling advice. 3. New in JASON SEGAL AND HARRISON FORD Their dynamic in Shrinking is hot and, yes, it is totally possible to find the scripted interaction between two fictional people sexy. 4. New in LEWIS CAPALDI AND HARRY STYLES Who kissed at the BRITs. It is also totally possible to find rehearsed interaction between two real life pop stars sexy. 5. Non-mover PINK On a raucous promo round…

There's not a lot I have in common with Rihanna, but a shared love of the materntiy ‘bumpsuit’ is one. At the Super Bowl, Rihanna slayed in scarlet. At six-and-a-half months pregnant, I also have an all-in-one but mine is black, from American label Bumpsuit. The cult line - loved by influencers and A-listers alike offers a range of bodysuits made of super-stretchy, super-soft fabric. Double-lined for extra support, they work perfectly during all stages of pregnancy, postpartum and even if you're neither pregnant nor postpartum. I live in the Penelope style - long sleeves, turtleneck - because it feels like a tracksuit. Consider it a chic way to appear pulled together, even when you're feeling anything but. Wear solo, or layer up with a shirt, oversized blazer or, in…

WHAT'S NEW IN FASHION? The rise of whisper it - wearable clothes. Both on and off the runway at New York Fashion Week, being overdressed and chasing viral status felt a tad passé, as stripped-down, serious clothing emerged as one of the Big Apple's big themes. In a season when several of New York's power players were notably absent Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford, for example - no expense spared, IG-friendly spectacles took a backseat for some good old-fashioned wearability. At a time when we are asking so much of our clothes - to last longer, work harder, remain relevant - NYFW delivered on desirability. See Proenza Schouler's Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, who described their show as ‘a collection of clothing we find compelling and essential right…

10 HOT STORIES IN HER HEAD and in her heart, Nicola Sturgeon said, she knew it was time to quit. And so, just weeks alter Jacinda Ardern unexpectedly resigned as New Zealand's Prime Minister, Scotland's first female First Minister has followed her out of the door. Like her friend Ardern, who quit saying she had nothing ‘left in the tank’, Sturgeon looked close to tears at times as she admitted that eight gruelling years at the top had taken their toll. ‘I'm a human being and every human being wrestles with a whole load of conflicting emotions,’ she said, adding that modern politics had become more intense and brutal than ever and ‘the truth is [this job] can only be done by anyone for so long’. But while the SNP…

THE POWER NAOMI ALDERMAN Toni Collette stars in the 10-part adaptation of Alderman's Women's Prize-winning novel, in which women become the dominant sex after they develop the ability to electrocute people with their bare hands. From 31 March, Prime Video TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS CHERYL STRAYED While the book is a collection of the Wild author's advice columns, the TV show is a fictionalised account of Strayed's life. Kathryn Hahn plays Claire, an agony aunt whose own life is unravelling. From 7 April, Disney+ THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME LAURA DAVE Reese Witherspoon snapped up the rights to this thriller, so you know it's a winner. Jennifer Garner stars as protagonist Hannah, who must forge a relationship with her teenage stepdaughter when her husband disappears. From 14 April, Apple TV+…

JO CHEETHAM never used to think her voice mattered. She didn't vote until she was 25 and always tried to make herself as invisible as possible. So taking on a huge media conglomerate and winning a campaign to topple The Sun newspaper's legendary Page 3 - a pinnacle of media sexism - wasn't exactly the path she anticipated for herself. The Sun was the only newspaper Jo, now 42, had ever seen until she was a teenager. Growing up, Page 3 was always lying around her house; young women's bare breasts a staple at the breakfast table. Her dad, a laid-off steel worker, bought it. Everyone did on the council estate in Rotherham where Jo grew up. The girls on Page 3 were often working-class teenagers, like her. ‘This was…

PATRICIA FIELD GRAZIA FEATURE GRAZIA INRERVIEW IT'S AN OPENING sequence many of us can picture as soon as we hear the first plinks of the theme song: Carrie Bradshaw striding down a busy Manhattan pavement in a powder-pink vest top and white tulle miniskirt, smiling like she has a secret until she finds herself drenched by a passing bus - one bearing an ad for her newspaper column, no less. The woman responsible for putting Carrie into that skirt for the Sex And The City opening credits is Patricia Field, the costume designer behind some of the most memorable looks from TV and film. As she describes in her new memoir, unearthing it was a stroke of serendipity. ‘I was rummaging around in the five-dollar bin at a midtown fashion showroom…

RED ALERT Think red lipstick isn't for you? Think again. There's a shade, texture and opacity for everyone,’ says make-up artist Andrew Gallimore, the pro behind these looks. ‘Rouge Dior Forever Lipstick in 999 Forever Dior is a rich, universal red that flatters every skin tone.’ HEART-THROB ‘Juxtaposing two different textures or tones will enhance your lip shape,’ says Andrew, Try creating a base with a lighter lip colour all over before applying a more vibrant shade on top, to the centre of each lip and your Cupid's bow. Blend the two together for a diffused finish. VELVET CRUSH Use a touch of powder to take your matte lip into luxe velvet territory. ‘It's super-easy,’ says Andrew. ‘Simply take an eyeshadow, blusher or powder in a similar shade and press…

IT'S TIME TO… EAT I LOVE COOKING for friends. If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that food tastes best when shared with people you love. And there's a special kind of elation that comes from cooking for those you care about; it can be a way to say ‘I love you’, ‘I'm here’, ‘I understand’ - or even ‘I can't understand but I wish I could’ - without needing to find the words, nor say them out loud. There's a bond that comes with sharing a good meal together: of all the friends I have made over the years - new, old, those who feel like family - of all those relationships that I treasure and that make my life everything that it is, so many of these…

READ IT'S TIME TO… LIKE ANOTHER famous tale, this begins with a pair of sparkly red shoes. But in this story - the latest from award-winning novelist Jojo Moyes - it isn't Dorothy who's wearing them, but Sam Kemp - an exhausted working mum, whose boss has it in for her and whose husband is in the throes of a nervous breakdown. Desperately trying to keep her family afloat, one morning Sam accidentally picks up the wrong bag at the gym, which contains a pair of Christian Louboutin red high heels belonging to one Nisha Cantor. Nisha has it all - a wealthy husband, globetrotting lifestyle and homes all over the world - but on the day she loses her shoes, she also loses everything else, when her husband abruptly ends…

MODERN MUM DILEMMA OF THE WEEK I'm struggling to keep a relationship and friendships going while being a good mum Anna Whitehouse aka @mother pukka I tried to explain this to my husband the other day: friend-min. The unending administration around friendships. The WhatsApp groups, the DMs, the emails - and Lord forbid anyone who dares to call. Don't get me wrong, I want to be a good friend; I want good friends. But with a partner, a baby and my never ending ‘to do’ list, something has to give. True friendship is knowing there's enough in the tank for rainy days, weeks or months if you've had a baby. That your silence isn't rudeness but, perhaps, a struggle you can't yet articulate. When I had postnatal depression, all I…

One year on, we still stand with Ukraine It's hard to believe that, a year ago, Ukrainians were living in peace, enjoying the luxury of normality. Then, on 24 February, explosions were heard across the capital, Kyiv. The Russian invasion had begun. In the 12 months since, thousands have died and around eight million refugees have fled. Children and families are still in immediate danger. On this sad anniversary, we stand with those fleeing their homes, whose lives have been turned upside down, and we want to do everything we can to support them. Let's hope this year marks the end of this suffering. To donate, visit unfpa.org/ukraine-war.…

1. WHY IS EVERYONE DIGGING THE FLANNEL SHIRT RIGHT NOW? Two words: Kate Moss. The supermodel's surprise runway turn at Bottega Veneta, wearing a checked shirt, white tank top and loose-fitting jeans, chimed with Google's Year in Search 2022 report, where the oversized shirt topped the trending style searches. The appeal is twofold: a vintage (or Uniqlo men's) version is giving grunge-meets-Claire Danes in My So-Called Life vibes, while Bottega's painted leather take, using a trompe l'oeil technique, is pure CEO (of the home office). We're fans of both. 2. A-MUSE YOURSELF Joan of Arc, Miss Havisham and, er, Bob the Builder: meet the new front-row pin ups. 3. IT'S COMING UP ROSES Take inspiration from Carrie Bradshaw and add a floral corsage - or four if you're channelling Prada's…

‘WHEN IN DOUBT, dress up!’ That was the theme of Dame Vivienne Westwood's memorial service, held at London's Southwark Cathedral. And dress up the mourners did. Tartan suiting, corsetry, vertiginous platform heels and marabou-trimmed headwear were all spotted among the who's who of fashion, music and activism, as they paid tribute to the godmother of punk, who died on 29 December, aged 81. ME PUNK ONLY PERSON WITH A PLAN With many A-listers in town for London Fashion Week, Victoria Beckham arrived with designer Marc Jacobs, while Kate Moss, Elle Fanning, Stormzy, Beth Ditto and Alexa Chung took their seats alongside Greenpeace director John Sauven and model-turned-activist Lily Cole. In a celebratory ceremony, moving tributes were paid by Westwoods family; her partner in life and work, Andreas Kronthaler, sons Joseph…

1. LUXE LEATHER Given that creative director Stuart Vevers considers Coach to be ‘America's house of leather’, it's no surprise the autumn/winter collection was centred around rather fabulous leather coats. The pre-worn patchwork leather - made from actual factory scraps - had a 1970s feel, while at Brandon Maxwell, leather was everywhere, from a shirt and maxiskirt to a bandeau top combo. 2. BIG APPLE RED Among the black and white looks seen on and off the runway (at Brandon Maxwell, almost everything came in monochrome, and 100% of it was in neutrals), a welcome shot of serotonin - by way of ‘Big Apple Red’ - was seen at Carolina Herrera and Jason Wu. Festive. 3. THE MAXI COAT While most collections favoured subtlety over drama, XL hem lengths ensured outerwear with…

ON 27 JANUARY, Nicola Bulley dropped her two daughters at school before walking her dog on a footpath by the River Wyre in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire. By now, we all know what came next. The 45-year-old mortgage advisor emailed her boss and logged on to a Teams call on her phone. At 9.30am the call ended but Nicola stayed logged in. By 9.33am her phone was found on a bench by the river and her dog was discovered nearby, but Nicola hasn't been seen since. What has happened to her has become one of the biggest mysteries of the decade. In the weeks following, TikTok and Twitter have erupted with armchair sleuths wildly speculating over her whereabouts. The narrative quickly turned nasty, with amateur detectives criticising the huge…

MUNROE BERGDORF may only be 35, but reading her memoir, Transitional, it's clear she's lived a thousand lives. Born and raised in Essex, she started out in fashion PR, before making a name for herself in London's queer nightlife scene in her early twenties and forging a career in modelling. In 2017 she shot to fame when she became the first transgender model to front a campaign for L'Oreal. Since then she's appeared in campaigns for Mulberry, Calvin Klein and Uniqlo, presented the Channel 4 documentary What Makes A Woman and launched her own podcast, The Way We Are. In 2019 she was named a UN Women UK Changemaker. She's arguably one of the most well-known activists in the trans community - particularly on social media, where she has more…

KENDEL KAY is a 25-year-old influencer with the kind of uber-luxe lifestyle many of us would envy. She drinks aloe shots, has an extensive skincare routine, complete with LED mask and ice rolling, goes to the gym and lounges on a perfect cream sofa wearing perfect cream athleisure. But there's a twist: she also does laundry for her boyfriend Luke, a millionaire with his own PR company. She brews his coffee and blends green juices, cooks his dinner and makes their bed. Wherever he goes, she tags along, in case he has needs that require serving. She is a stay-at-home girlfriend, or SAHG, and proud of it. Kendel is one of a growing number of mostly white, young, childfree women leading social media's latest craze: eschewing work to make their…

WHAT DOES SECOND-HAND clothing mean to you? Without tags? Slightly frayed around the edges? Discovered at the back of a dusty warehouse? What if I told you it could arrive at your home in pristine condition, worn only a handful of times and tissue-wrapped - and, even better, you'll probably still wear it in five years’ time? The resale clothing market is booming according to a report by GlobalData and ThredUp, it's projected to double over the next five years, growing 11 times faster than the broader retail clothing sector and will reach £67bn by 2025. But why now? The harmful impact of the fashion industry on the environment - responsible for 10% of annual global carbon emissions, which is more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined -…

Sometimes we don't pause and reflect until somebody shoves a giant red stop sign in front of us. Curiously, it was actor Julia Fox who wielded one such stop sign late last year when she said, ‘If I see another product that says anti-ageing on the label, I'm suing, because I'm gonna age regardless of if I put the fucking $500 serum on my face. And you all fucking know it, and we know it, so let's stop lying to ourselves. Getting old is fucking hot. It is sexy.’ Can one comment shift centuries of anti-ageing rhetoric? I'm not sure, but Fox is on to something. And some brands are listening. Last year, The Body Shop announced a rebrand of Drops of Youth, one of its best-selling skincare ranges (a…

THE ONE THING I remember about reading Taffy Brodesser-Akner's New York missing person potboiler, Fleishman Is In Trouble, is that every woman in it seemed to build her entire life around way too much yoga, usually in a slogan T-shirt while married to an overachieving money man devoid of any capacity for human warmth. The other thing I recall thinking is that it would make a great TV show. Now here we are. Fleishman is Toby (Jesse Eisenberg), a recently divorced doctor at the kind of prestige Manhattan hospital for which you need premium insurance. His ex-wife is Rachel (Claire Danes), who says she's going on a yoga retreat - of course she does - and promptly disappears, leaving him in charge of their two bratty kids. We begin with…

The last book I read… Patti Smith's memoir, Just Kids. The last song I listened to… Unholy by Kim Petras and Sam Smith. The last box set I binged… Will & Grace. The last item I added to my wardrobe… a Tom Ford for Gucci camel coat that I've been searching and searching for - I got it at Rellik in Notting Hill. The last night I went out out… was a massive dinner party, all dressed up, cocktails flowing. Hie last holiday I went on… I stayed at La Posta Vecchia hotel outside Rome, with my fiance Eitan [left] and dear friend [hotelier] Marie-Louise Scio. The last photo I took… was of me, after a little too much champagne, posing with a Chanel perfume bottle at their event with the…
