Sommaire pour November 2023 de ELLE UK

GROWING UP, FASHION OFTEN SEEMED impenetrable – a glossy, glamorous and insular world far away. The closed doors seemed to be the point, the industry one big private club. Now, what I find most thrilling about working as an editor is participating in a wider shift that is turning that idea of exclusivity on its head, opening doors and welcoming new perspectives in. This issue is a special one for the ELLE team and me because it marks the launch of our new community, ELLE Collective. What is it? Our own accessible version of a membership club, one that invites readers to join our world and experience the life of an ELLE editor. Don’t have a personal connection to a creative director? No problem. Didn’t grow up in a fashion…

catwalk: Haute hosiery We know them as a cold-weather stand-by, but tights are this season’s go to party accessory. Look to Gucci for luminous legs in rainbow hues, David Koma for scarlet stockings, or modern fishnets by Victoria Beckham. wear: Rick Owens x Moncler Moncler has tapped fashion genius Rick Owens for a futuristic collaboration that turns outerwear into thought-provoking statement pieces. The range is quintessentially Owens in design, with apocalyptic, floor-grazing silhouettes in engineered fabrics. Duvet dressing has rarely been so smart. watch: Fair Play In this season’s most-anticipated film, Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor and Alden Ehrenreich (Oppenheimer) portray a loved-up couple working for the same New York hedge fund. An unexpected promotion sees the workplace become a battlefield and their romantic relationship descend into chaos. Money, sex and power…

IN AN ART-WORLD LANDSCAPE FULL OF ‘ONES TO WATCH’, THE historian and curator (and ELLE contributing editor) Aindrea Emelife is easily one of London’s most talked-about right now. Having first begun making a name for herself through her Financial Times art column, which she began writing at 20 years old, she has gone on to curate an ever-growing list of shimmering, ambitious shows on both sides of the Atlantic that trace and centre the history of Black women. This year alone, she launched the exhibition ‘Black Venus’ at Somerset House and ‘Know Who We Are’ at Christie’s. And next year, she’ll curate Nigeria’s pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale, a move that sealed Emelife’s status as the year’s breakout star. She might be young, at 27 years old, but her…

FOR DR BARBARA STURM, ONE OF THE WORLD’S BEST-KNOWN skincare revolutionaries, it’s unsurprising that beauty starts at home. She fondly recalls her childhood spent near the forest in Bad Liebenstein, a ‘beautiful’ village in eastern Germany. ‘I grew up waiting for little salamanders on a little pond,’ she says. Fast forward to today, and grounding herself in nature remains an integral part of Sturm’s life. ‘I always take my shoes off when I get home. I like to walk barefoot,’ she explains, sitting cross-legged at the dining table in her family’s chalet in Gstaad, Switzerland, dressed in a simple white T-shirt and her eldest daughter’s Hommegirls blue boxer shorts. Gstaad is one of the three places that Sturm – along with her husband, lawyer Adam Waldman, and youngest daughter Pepper,…

PAGE 160 PETER PHILIPS Since 2014, Peter Philips has held the role of creative and image director for Christian Dior Makeup. His earliest make-up memories include, ‘old movies, admiring screen goddesses, the power of light and shadow, clowns at the circus, mum’s eye make-up, the Eurovision Song Contest and magazines’. His first big shoot came during a men’s fashion story shot by Willy Vanderperre and styled by Olivier Rizzo in the mid Nineties. ‘I painted a Mickey Mouse on a boy’s face and that look left an impression. The shoot gave us lots of exposure and recognition,’ he says. In this issue, Peter created make-up looks for the Dior beauty feature.

FAMILY IS AT THE CORE OF THE ST AGNI BRAND. WHEN LARA FELLS founded the business with her husband Matt in Byron Bay, New South Wales, the intention was to create a label that reflected the minimal-yet-elevated style of clothes she yearned to wear. A little under a decade – and two kids – later, she can’t see herself running the company with anyone else. ‘I honestly think having a business partner who is your life partner is the best thing ever,’ says Fells over Zoom from her home office, dressed all in black – a reflection of her refined personal style. Given that the brand is named after Fells’ Greek grandmother, it’s clear St Agni is a family affair: the duo’s innate creativity has even trickled down to their…

FROM NINETIES SUPERMODELS LINDA EVANGELISTA AND NADJA Auermann to modern-day street-style stars Katie Holmes and Irina Shayk, Marc Cain has been worn by an ever-evolving cast of influential women over the years. ‘It is now 50 years since I set off for Italy,’ says Helmut Schlotterer, the founder of Marc Cain, on starting the brand. ‘In my bag, I had packed a vision and the will to create something special,’ he adds while looking back on his career. The brand’s 50th-anniversary collection embodies the polished versatility Marc Cain does best: 50 pieces that take you from morning workout to candlelit dinner party with friends, incorporating everything from athleisure and tailoring to party-wear and the label’s trademark leopard-print garments. Add to this the glamorous spirit of its iconic 1990s advertising campaigns…

CASTER SEMENYA’S STORY IS ONE OF hard-earned confidence, and peace of mind, after years of personal and professional storms. When we meet in a large room on the top floor of a nondescript hotel in central London, the world-class athlete is a picture of warmth and openness. She is dressed simply, in a white vest top and checked shorts that almost reach her knees. Her black hair is neatly cornrowed back from smooth skin and delicate features. She has a diamond stud in her ear, rings on her fingers and a necklace with a symbol of her post-run victory cobra pose dangling across her chest. Semenya exudes a self-acceptance that says she will not be rocked by anybody, especially people she doesn’t know or care for. And it’s precisely in…

WHAT IS THE POINT OF ROMANTIC PARTNERSHIPS? THIS IS THE sort of grand and existential question I’ve found myself pondering lately. Fitting, because I first seriously considered it 10 years ago, when I was 25. My mum had just told my dad that she wanted to separate. They had been married for almost 30 years. After a few weeks of manic hoovering, even when everything was clean, my mother had a mid-life metamorphosis: she started going out, made new friends and her career went from strength to strength. To some of her peers, the end of a long partnership might have looked like a life fallen apart. What I saw, instead, was the relief of a person who had spent decades trying to hold the pieces of a conventional family…

The Expert: Rajni Jacques, Snapchat global head of fashion and beauty The next gen of beauty taught me: “I am not like everyone else”. Growing up, beauty was quite ‘follow the leader’. But at Snapchat, it’s all about self-expression: being genuine and authentic. I like to think of it as returning to what I call the golden age of beauty, back to that early-Nineties approach where it wasn’t about modifying yourself, but enhancing what you already have. You can use AR in an educational way that changes how you interact with beauty in real life, rather than altering who you are. The future of beauty’s next generation should be in the room. They should know they are supposed to have that seat, and that companies need their ideas and their…

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, THE PRESSURE I felt to control how much I weighed was focused on the horror of my thighs. They had the audacity of touching; where there should have been air, there was flesh, thighs that rubbed against each other, rounding off legs that were too short to support their gargantuan girth – or so I thought. As a young Black girl in a very homogenous, white environment, I was dealing with patriarchy compounded by racism. I lived in a society where women were reduced to their features, and I was constantly told that mine were too big – my mouth, my lips, my bum – and felt extremely self-conscious as a result. While I would have benefitted from seeing more women with features like my own,…

At Paris’s Gare de l’Est, there’s something in the air – not frost, but magic. Conductors in white gloves and Wes Anderson-esque uniforms line up beside blue gilded carriages sparkling under the station’s lights. This is fairytale fodder: I’m taking an overnight trip on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, on its new route to the Alps and the resorts of Mont Blanc and Courchevel. Yes, they’re ski resorts – but I am here purely for the ride. In the bar carriage, a baby grand piano is in full swing – and, after a few rounds of gin gimlets, I’m swaying as much as the train. I wobble back to my walnut-panelled art deco-style cabin to change for dinner. A vintage wash basin is hidden away opposite a velvet banquette that will be…
