Sommaire pour Issue 617 de Grazia

Team Grazia is currently halfway through the Fashion Month world tour (stay tuned across graziadaily.co.uk and @GraziaUK on Instagram) and, in this week’s special issue, we bring you all the news from London. While fashion director Rebecca Lowthorpe reports from the front row (page 20), we were also behind the scenes to capture all the action straight off the runway (page 65). The best bit? You can buy the trends straight from the catwalk, right now! Grazia’s fashion team have done the hard work for you – shop their edit on page 42. And there’s more… we meet London’s hottest designer Simone Rocha on page 80. Meanwhile, our junior news and entertainment editor Hannah Flint spent the night hanging out with the supermodel squad at Annabel’s. Kendall and Bella reveal…

Photos: Dave Benett, Getty Images, Rex Features, The Sun/News Syndication Katy has a natter with the London mayor WHEN KATY PERRY burst into public consciousness with #problematic first single Ur So Gay (sample lyric: ‘I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf’), few could have predicted that, 10 years later, she’d swap her whipped cream bra for political protest. Yet here we are… Performing at last week’s BRIT Awards, the singer appeared on-stage with giant skeleton effigies of Donald Trump and Theresa May, which were seen holding hands in an echo of the pair’s awkward meeting at the White House last month. The staging was widely interpreted as a criticism of the politicians’ ‘special relationship’ (for context, last time she sang at the BRITs the concept was ‘Ancient Egypt…

Photo (posed by model): Stocksy I CAN’T DECIDE which part of lunchtime boozing I like most: the furtive meeting of eyes across the wine list (‘Shall we…?’), the little charade that gets played out (‘Oh, I probably shouldn’t…’ ‘Me neither – got an afternoon meeting’) when obviously the only decision on the table has always been ‘Pinot or Chardonnay?’ The complicity between the two, three, four or more of you when the first one caves – ‘Oh go on then, just the one’, the arrival of the wine or the sharpness of that first sip – with all the promise that comes with it. Jeez. Just the thought of it makes me want to pour myself a snifter. But it’s 11.10am and these days I try to hold back until…

OUR PANEL CHARLIE GOWANS-EGLINTON Grazia’s fashion news and features editor has an eye for the eclectic and a pathological fear of men in flip-flops. @charliegowans JOE STONE Everything news and entertainment director Joe Stone knows about fashion, he learned from watching the Spice Girls’ 1997 BRITs performance. @joe_stone_ ERIN O’CONNOR CHARLIE SAYS: This is a buffet dinner of an outfit – a bit of a mish-mash, sure, and maybe you don’t need mash and chips, but then, why the hell not? ★★★✩✩ JOE SAYS: Erin looks like a total boss, because that’s what she is. In fact, I could write a listicle of people who Erin O’Connor is more of a boss than, including but not limited to: my boss, your boss, THE boss Bruce Springsteen. ★★★★✩ YOU SAY: How…

Pick the right time, not when they’re incredibly busy or five minutes before lunch, and maybe invite someone from HR. Prepare. Make notes to keep you on track. There’s no need to provide a detailed explanation, but be sure to explain how the condition affects you and what support you might need. Emphasise it won’t affect the quality of your work. Encourage questions. Curiosity is natural and positive. Follow up with an email, thanking them for their time and support. This also serves as written proof that you advised the company, if needed.

Where we spotted it Behind the scenes at Giambattista Valli, where hair stylist Paul Hanlon created marvellous mermaid waves. Why we love it This style is fully achievable in under 10 minutes, but doesn’t look like it . Perfect for rushed mornings when you need to impress. Ways to work it Woken up with frizzy, lacklustre locks? A quick brush-through with shine serum is just the solution, along with a careful placement of curl or texture cream through the lengths to create polished waves.…

BED HEAD Top session stylists at Gareth Pugh and Versus gave the finger to ‘contrived, over-styled hair’ that so often rules the runway. Model manes at the former were plied with Style Masters Styling Mousse Modular, £10.60, before being formed into tangled finger waves. And at the latter, texture play gave way to product-heavy, coarse-looking side fringes. ALL TIED UP For every five trends that divide editors, there’s one that unites them, and it usually comes in the form of adornment. From the ribbon-draped half-ponies at Emilia Wickstead to off-centre, wrap-around velvet bows at Temperley, we say: hotfoot it to the haberdashery. MODEL OF THE MOMENT LILY JEAN HARVEY AT VIVA LONDON The S/S ’17 Topshop campaign put 17-year-old Lily Jean Harvey on fashion’s radar, and her bushy brows, full…

THE TAN TRENCH is a fashion classic for good reason – timelessly chic, it keeps out any lingering chill and goes with every look. Here, Maya Oakley, Grazia’s contributing fashion stylist, has paired the perfect high-street mac with trend-led staples. Do the street-styler’s favourite tip and double-layer a military green jacket under your open trench now, and then alternate either one once the temperature rises. A statement blouse is a must right now. Arm yourself with a Victoriana style, a fluted gingham number and this season’s blue striped shirt. Throw a graffiti mini into the mix and that’s the season sorted. You’ll need to keep your capsule wardrobe in tip-top shape – which is where Ariel’s 3in1 Pods come in. These heroic liquitabs remove tough stains to ensure your off-duty…

I liked Kate Wills’ piece on examining opinions that make her feel uncomfortable. I too am part of the Liberal Metropolitan Elite Bubble, but because I am relatively conservative, my views are rarely reflected in what I see on my social-media feeds. I do not agree with many of President Trump’s decisions, but I’d rather try to understand why these policies are popular than just wade in the warm, comfortable bath of communal outrage, which Kate identifies as equally a problem on the left. The role of social media in fostering our views is incredibly alarming. If we do not have access to both sides of the story, and if we have the ability, with a click of a button, to mute or silence those whose views we do not…

Interview: Hannah Flint Photos: Getty Images ‘PEOPLE NEVER BELIEVE IT WHEN THEY FIND OUT I’M A KARATE WORLD CHAMPION’ ANNE-MARIE, 25 We ask the ‘Rockabye’ singer to take a selfie – and reveal all Who is your best friend? My sister Sam, and Nick, my friend from college. We used to hate each other but then we became best friends. What’s your biggest regret? Putting my passport in my pillow case because I was afraid of robbers at a holiday park. I left it there and it got put through the wash and was destroyed. I had to wait ages for a new one and had to miss a gig in the Netherlands because I couldn’t leave the country. What’s your biggest extravagance? Food or sunglasses – I have 100…

Ever since news broke last November that they’d split, it’s seemed Bella Hadid has struggled to get over her singer boyfriend of almost two years, The Weeknd (aka Abel Tesfaye). First she was pictured gazing at an old photo of them kissing, then she unfollowed his new girlfriend Selena Gomez on Instagram, and reportedly felt ‘hurt’ that he’d moved on so quickly, even telling an interviewer, ‘It’ll be hard for a while. Love hurts, but you have to pull through. I’ll always love him.’ Now, however, it seems Bella is starting to move on. Grazia can reveal that the super is enjoying a fling with London photographer and film-maker Dexter Navy, who has previously worked with Drake, M.I.A. and Kanye West. The pair move in the same circles and are…

TEN-YEAR-OLD SABA was finally able to go back to school last week. It has been more than two years since she last attended, after her city was taken over by the savage rule of Islamic State. ‘Today, the children received new textbooks and notebooks,’ says Saba’s mother Maysa, who is an administrator at the local school. ‘Every child acted like their new notebook was the most special present they had ever received.’ For the past two-and-a-half years, Maysa and her children have lived in their home in Eastern Mosul under ISIS’s rigid interpretation of Sharia law. As well as forcing women to cover their faces with veils and their hands with gloves, the terrorist group pressurised civilians into pledging allegiance to Islamic State, and openly enforced punishments for anyone who…

Photos: Barcroft Media, Getty Images I’m going to bang on about abortion again. Sorry. It’s just that we don’t seem to be getting anywhere with it. With extending abortion rights to those who don’t have them, but bloody well should (women in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man). With protecting the abortion rights of those who do have them – only, you gotta wonder: for how long? A lil’ since-the-beginning-of-the-year abortion news round-up for you: in January, Donald Trump reinstated the Global Gag rule, blocking US funding for any international organisation that provides abortion services – or even discusses the option of abortion – with patients. In late January, a law was passed in Arkansas that simultaneously imposed a ban on almost all second-trimester abortions…

E • I • G • H • T • Y-O • N • E. Just the sound of it is like a scorching brand on my dating-weary soul. I never meant to keep a running score of my dating life. It just kind of happened that way after my last break-up. Not because I wanted to maintain a sordid black book with all the juicy kiss-and-tells (I could count on one hand the number of guys who made it past a peck on the cheek), but because I wanted to keep myself accountable – to have a written record that proved I, at least, was trying. But now, 81 dates and 3.5 years in, all I have to show for my efforts is a three-column-width list filling both sides…

In a Glasgow architects’ office, the champagne corks pop as disaster looms. The nightmare workmate is upon us. In spooky psychological thriller The Replacement, the seemingly innocuous Paula (Vicky McClure) arrives to cover the maternity leave of rising young Starchitect Ellen (Morven Christie). At first the handover feels effortless. Then the cracks begin to appear. Inveigling herself with the bosses, dropping sly comments about how Ellen’s handling her pregnancy, gazumping her with clients, Paula is your worst work fears come to life. Not only has she got more faces than a royal flush, she’s annoyingly amazing at covering her tracks. Playing against type, McClure handles the surreptitious trickery of the Single White Female brilliantly. Amid a low-complexity, high-intensity story she drives Ellen close to breakdown, until the latter snaps on-site…

1 IN THE PINK The raspberry pink sofa adds rich colour but is tempered by the shades of monochrome around it. The fab shelving unit is the now discontinued OTO 100 by Muuto (try eBay). Find the Tom Dixon Mirror Ball lights at heals.co.uk. The coffee table is a flea market find (g rahamandg reen.co.uk does similar). 2. STAY SNUG Keeping things warm stylishly is a modern wood-burning stove, wall-mounted for a less intrusive, neater look (check out hvam.com). The pink colour theme continues with the cabinet, which was bought secondhand, then painted and fitted with wheels. The grey pouf is from House Doctor (en.doctor.dk) 3 A LITTLE ROUGH The sleek black of the dining furniture is juxtaposed by distressed white floorboards, which give a vintage feel and soften the…

NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT: London has a new supreme establishment. In no particular order, J.W. Anderson, Simone Rocha, Roksanda, Erdem, Christopher Kane, Preen, Joseph and Mary Katrantzou, based on their shows last week, have given London a new super status in fashion’s world order. A coming of age, rock-solid confidence, an ability to hone what makes each of them unique – whatever you want to call it – the London collections were all that, and more. When designers’ shows are as transporting as a good book, say something about the current state of the world and deliver clothes that feel relevant, wearable and exciting, you know it’s been a strong week. The beauty of London right now is that it can’t be pigeonholed. It can no longer be tagged…

Photos: Alamy, Bridgeman LOOKING TO OUR LEFT and right on the FROWs, there was no mistaking the It accessory of the moment. Anyone worth their street-style salt had some serious hardware hanging from their lobes. And while last season’s single-earring trend has been swapped for pairs, we’re not talking simple gold hoops here – the new earrings of choice are wearable works of art. So, which school do you subscribe to? If you’re a surrealist, do a Dalí – wear your eyes on your ears with H&M’s bobby-dazzlers, or go bonkers and try Uterqüe’s full-facial. In the Bauhaus corner, Fendi’s colour-block triangle is bang on, or give Topshop’s graphic chandeliers a whirl for just over a tenner. Feeling more abstract? Nod to Joan Miró’s mobiles via & Other Stories’ mismatched…

Photos: Natura Bissé, Getty Images, Rex Features FEELING FRAZZLED? Well, spare a thought for the Oscar nominees, who spent last week writing funny-yet-woke Trump-bashing speeches in case they won, perfecting their most gracious expressions in case they didn’t, and furiously debating the etiquette of asking Meryl for a selfie. And as if that wasn’t enough, ahead of the ceremony last Sunday, A-listers also had to find time in their schedules for the latest must-have treatment sweeping Hollywood: a $2,000 ‘magic facial’ to prep their skin for the cameras. Nominees including Emma Stone, Nicole Kidman and Ruth Negga are believed to have received the ‘3D Collagen Shock facial’ before the ceremony, designed by luxury beauty company Natura Bissé. Kendall Jenner, Beyoncé Knowles and Reese Witherspoon are also said to be fans.…

ONE MORNING in September 2014, broadcast journalist Jessikka Aro had just reached her desk when her phone started ringing off the hook. Each call delivered a torrent of abuse with Jessikka accused of harassment, espionage and dealing drugs to children. The callers had read fabricated stories about her online, planted after she started investigating the Kremlin-backed fake news industry for a book she was writing. ‘They’d read stories about me on Russian and Finnish hate speech websites, and on the Russian state-controlled channel RT,’ Jessikka tells Grazia . ‘As with all fake news, I hadn’t been asked to comment and these stories had been shared with thousands of people who’d been duped by the lies.’ For the next two years, Jessikka, 36, from Helsinki, was harassed. Her private medical records…

IT’S SCARY TO DO something that goes against all your instincts. As I walked – overwhelmed and sick to my stomach – towards a meeting room a year and a half ago, I couldn’t believe I was about to put my career on the line. Again. Throughout most of my twenties, I’d been fiercely private about my anxiety condition. I viewed it as my weakness, something to be hidden at all costs. But in November 2015, I decided to take the terrifying step of telling my new bosses –they could decide I was incompetent, take away my responsibilities or, worse still, find a way of terminating my contract. And I had reason to be worried. It wasn’t the first time I’d had a meeting like this – and the last…

We wanted contrast, fusing the new romantic with a punk, club-kid vibe’ – Justin Thornton NINA MARKER FOR ROKSANDA ‘The Dada movement and nomadic, global travellers were my inspiration.

HERE AT GRAZIA , we’ve been getting (not so) quietly excited about the upcoming launch of the second Uniqlo U collection, due to land on 3 March. Developed at the brand’s Paris atelier under the visionary leadership of creative director Christophe Lemaire, Uniqlo U S/S ’17 distils the essence of what we love about Uniqlo’s design ethos – namely, brilliant on-point wardrobe essentials – and takes it to the next level, with the innovative use of high-tech fabrics and cutting-edge manufacturing techniques. The result is a capsule wardrobe of dreams – perfectly executed anything-but-basic closet staples. This is The Future of LifeWear. GET 20% OFF! Grazia readers can secure a VIP invite to a special preview event on 2 March, including 20% off all purchases on the night. As well…

WHILE YOU MIGHT buy a new pair of shoes, or even a dress, for a big night out, treating yourself to a new pair of special occasion glasses probably seems extravagant. But since you’ll wear your specs time and again, investing in a killer pair for evening will elevate your wardrobe in one easy hit. And since Specsavers’ newest £99 styles are two for one, it’s not such a crazy idea after all, especially as they’ve teamed up with Kylie – who knows a thing or two about getting all dressed up – on a range of fashionable and flattering frames. Try an elegant black pair to offset a frock in this season’s must-wear yellow, or style a slightly more retro silhouette with on point animal print. Check out the…

EMILY PHILLIPS Grazia’s features director ★★★★✩ Bright new prospect on the psychological scene Daniel Cole was formerly a paramedic and an RSPCA officer – both experiences to inspire a rolicking thriller. When a corpse turns up with six different victims’ body parts stitched together, Detective William ‘Wolf’ Fawkes rejoins the Met for what he knows will be a career-defining case. I was enthralled from the start. JENNY CROALL Grazia’s production editor ★★✩✩✩ I do like a thriller – just not this one. It all felt a bit too clichéd. Serial killer who taunts the police? Tick. Ludicrously elaborate murders? Tick. Maverick cop whose life is falling apart, plus a media mogul who’d sell his own granny to boost ratings? Big tick! The characters felt one-dimensional, sacrificed to the complicated plot.…

BACK TO THE FUTURE When Helen Mirren took the role of Lynda La Plante’s defining fictional character, Detective Jane Tennison, she caused TV tidal waves. In contrast, there’s a missing zip and swing to Stefanie Martini’s reprisal of the role in the prequel, Prime Suspect 1973. The period detail’s great as we swing into old Hackney, but Martini is given little to do but pout in a well-presented, stock police procedural. Begins Thursday, 9pm, ITV1 POETICAL PROTEST For the legends, everyone turns out.

Photos: Jason Alden HOTEL STYLE THE LUXE BATHROOM The bathroom is no longer a throw-away area or afterthought. Instead, it’s a space given over to indulgence; a chic haven that is practical yet alluring. Right now, we’re seeing more texture in bathrooms, enhancing this sense of luxury. Finishing touches – such as the petrol blue leather wall in this bathroom – stimulate the senses, enlivening a smaller space. Leather could also be substituted with a moody paint colour. Art and a great mirror add that final layer. HOTEL STYLE With hotels increasingly embracing a home-from-home vibe, they’ve become great places for inspiration.

OUT OF THE BUBBLE I greatly enjoyed Time to burst your news bubble (13 February). I suspect I am typical of your readership: female, urban, with relatively liberal values, and at a loss to understand recent events on the other side of the Atlantic. I have tried to read around the recent wave of populism, but I realised that I have sought information from places which shared my values (Grazia, other newspapers, the stuff Facebook chucks up because it knows what your own leanings are), only serving to reaffirm my own beliefs, while giving me the false security of believing I have read widely. It struck me that as liberals who believe in democracies that advocate the freedom of speech, we should expect people to vocalise their opposing views, and…

Photos: Thiemo Sander/Mondadori Photo PISCES 20 Feb – 20 Mar You might pluck up the courage to approach a money-related matter vigorously. But once your rivals hear of it, they may protest in a way that’s disproportionate to whatever’s going on. This is because Jupiter is opposing Uranus and anything of a controversial nature will be highly exaggerated. Just ride it out. The more dignified you can be the better, because eventually, those whose opinions matter will see sense. ARIES 21 Mar – 20 Apr People might make critical-sounding comments about your closest relationship. Don’t overreact. Hold on to the fact that you know how and when to apologise if you get things wrong. You also know how to make someone feel good about life. A few negative words mustn’t…
