Vogue的January 2019目录

AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, we’re all usually urged to look forward—to brightly face the future and give plenty of thought to the unknown. So perhaps we’re being a little counterintuitive with our first issue of 2019: We’ve chosen to focus on the happiness and contentment to be found in the familiar. This January’s Vogue is devoted to couples—to what it means to be in love and to know someone deeply. There’s something about these stories of togetherness, both real and fictional, that makes for joyful and optimistic reading, a salve for the last twelve months, when it has often felt like human interaction has been coarsened to a sad and worrying degree. That we’re focused on celebrating some of our favorite duos of the moment is entirely serendipitous. Months…

JACQUELINE RABUN THE LIVING ROOM–CUM–ATELIER of Jacqueline Rabun is a juxtaposition of contrasts: The wood-paneled, light-flooded loft in Clerkenwell in central London, designed by architect Amin Taha, resonated with her immediately. “I’m a big fan of the architect John Lautner, and when I first walked in a year ago, it really gave me that feeling of spaces in California,” says Rabun, dressed in a Comme des Garçons skirt and jacket. The room, like her jewelry, challenges and beguiles, with a mélange of Scandinavian and contemporary African influences, which include a Finn Juhl sofa, a Studiomama Pallet Project floor lamp, vintage stools picked up in Senegal, and contemporary sculpture by Nigerian artist Niyi Olagunju. “I love the way that objects sit in a space,” Rabun says, “and I am obsessed about…

Helen Reavey knows a thing or two about the link between scalp health and hair vitality. As a veteran of hairstylist Sam McKnight’s backstage team, she’s seen it play out at the end of a monthlong fashion-show circuit and on grueling press tours with her celebrity clients, who include Tilda Swinton, Alicia Keys, and Harry Styles. “You can tell straightaway why the hair isn’t styling properly,” Reavey says of how underlying scalp irritation can affect things like shine, volume, and bounce. The issue is compounded by typical shampoo (“an old-fashioned term for a squeaky-clean feel”), which is designed to remove grease and excess product but often strips the hair and the scalp, she explains. This tumultuous cycle was the impetus behind this month’s Act+Acre, which the Irish-born entrepreneur likes to…

DESIGNER ERDEM MORALIOGLU and architect Philip Joseph don’t agree on the exact date they met while students at London’s Royal College of Art. (“It was definitely February 25, 2003,” says Joseph. “I found my old calendar.”) But they’ve set the date: They’re getting married late this summer. What’s also certain: “Philip and I were immediately inseparable,” says Moralioglu. “A great relationship empowers each of you to do your best. When I’m with him, I feel I can do anything.” That includes the ultimate trial by ordeal for any couple: decorating together—not once but twice. Joseph worked on the Erdem store in Mayfair—“I sometimes worry I am slightly oppressive in my aesthetic,” he says with a laugh—and then there is their home in the East End, which includes, at Joseph’s urging,…

The joke about my younger son, Emmett, is that at age seven he’d still crawl back into my womb if he could. He’s more reserved than his gregarious older brother, and sticks to me in social situations that overwhelm him. He worries about things that wouldn’t even occur to another child. Recently I picked him up from a birthday party and also collected the sons of two close friends to spare them a trip. Walking across the parking lot in a foursome of first-grade boys, Emmett kept glancing at another classmate who was leaving with his mother. Later he told me he worried the boy had seen the group heading to our car and thought Emmett was having a “big fun playdate” and hadn’t invited him, and that his feelings…

If your museum is poised to reopen after years of renovations, a Nina Chanel Abney exhibition augurs a solid beginning. “She is an artist who thinks about history while looking at what’s relevant in the moment,” says Cheryl Brutvan, curator of the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida, which will debut a new campus this month following a three-year-long upgrade. Abney started out sketching cartoon characters and became more serious about painting in high school. After a year working on the line at a Ford Motor plant, the Illinois native headed to Parsons. For her MFA thesis show, she exhibited a large-scale painting of her white classmates, dressed in prison-garb orange and painted as black, while a version of Abney, depicted as a white armed guard, stood…

AT THEIR BEST, ONE-PERSON plays have the intimacy and urgency of an encounter with someone who needs to get something off his or her chest, ideally portrayed by an actor who compels us to listen. Two such plays—Simon Stephens’s Sea Wall and Nick Payne’s A Life—open as a twin set next month at the Public Theater. Under the direction of the smashing Carrie Cracknell, each is a short monologue that, beneath its spare surface, grapples with profound questions about life, death, and identity. It doesn’t hurt, of course, that the men telling us these stories are Tom Sturridge and Jake Gyllenhaal, both returning to the New York stage for the first time since their 2017 Broadway triumphs in, respectively, 1984 and Sunday in the Park with George. In A Life,…

Ensconced in the secluded region of Périgord Noir, Château de la Bourlie has the elusive attraction of a chimera. Reaching it is an epic feat that often requires taking two airplanes, followed by a long drive through a landscape of walnut groves and medieval towns. But at the end of a driveway that stretches across the 1,000-acre estate is a majestic vision. With its three wings, fortified walls, and cone-shaped roofs reaching high against the rolling hills, La Bourlie conjures an atmosphere of pre–French Revolution splendor. Inside, however, a different story unfolds. Under the stewardship of artist Cyril de Commarque, whose family has owned this estate for more than 800 years, and his wife, the writer Ortensia Visconti, La Bourlie has undergone a radical renovation. Though de Commarque took over…

THE FIRST TIME NICK JONAS met Priyanka Chopra, he got down on one knee. Jonas tells me the story on a sunny afternoon in Las Vegas, in an expansive suite at the Wynn. He has just flown in to meet Chopra, who has been here a few days for a charity event. The newly engaged couple haven’t seen each other in weeks—not since a trip to India, where, by the time you read this, they will have wed in a pink sandstone-and-marble palace in Rajasthan. By some miracle of genetics (or dermatology), Jonas, 26, has the same fresh face that graced the cover of Tiger Beat ten years ago, but his once-wavy hair is now cropped short, and even black long sleeves cannot hide the small mountain ranges that are…

By the 1970s, James Baldwin was done appealing to America’s conscience. “I do not believe in the promise of America,” he told The New York Times. He had seen his friends Martin Luther King and Malcolm X murdered, had grown disillusioned with the civil rights movement. At the University of California, Berkeley, in 1974, the author and critic reminded black students not to expect “any help from most of our co-citizens, or any help from the government.” Their struggle was their own. Still, Baldwin believed in the power of love, and it was that power that animated his fifth novel and thirteenth book, If Beale Street Could Talk, first released in 1974 and now elegantly adapted for the screen by Moonlight’s Barry Jenkins. The novel, Baldwin said, was a tale…

On a sweltering afternoon in mid-July, I’m on West Thirtieth Street in Manhattan, looking for the entrance to The Shed. Scheduled to open this spring but still under construction, The Shed is New York’s keenly anticipated new year-round, all-purpose cultural emporium for music, dance, theater, and visual arts. There are no signs, though—this is Hudson Yards, where one of the biggest urban-renewal projects in New York City is in full swing, and the landmark I’d been given, a pizza parlor, refuses to reveal itself. But then, hooray, halfway down the block I see a blonde woman waving both arms, and I breathe a sigh of relief. It’s Kathryn Spellman, a sociologist and visting professor for Islamic Studies at Columbia University and the wife of Alex Poots, The Shed’s founding artistic…
