There are a few times of year you get to just indulge in a b it of fashion madness. If you hadn't guessed, th is is one of those moments.And in case you missed it, this season's fashion is truly b onkers, in the b est possib le way. Zoolanderstormed the catwalks ofValentino, one of the grandest fash ion houses in the world (and, quite frankly, the last people you'd expect to poke fun at themselves) - read Susannah Frankel's exclusive interview with the designers who made it all happen on page 132. And cartoon characters took over our wardrobes - prepare to channel a b it of Scooby Doo mixed with aTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. See page 205 for your super(hero) stylish tutorial. In essence, it's time to play…

AS THE PROVERB GOES, A PICTURE is worth a thousand words. Increasingly, it appears that Beyoncé is counting on it. Last week, amid further rumours of unrest in her marriage, the singer did what has become second nature. Holidaying with husband Jay in Sardinia, she packed in more PDAs than your average wedding album; kissing on the dock, embracing on their £600k-a-week yacht and even doing the classic ‘my first slow dance’ pose, albeit an arm’s-width apart. The message to waiting photographers was clear; nothing to see here, except a couple who are still very much in love. This latest show of affection comes hot on the heels of fresh conjecture that Beyoncé, 34, and Jay, 45, could be heading for divorce. During her set at the Made In America…

‘THE NAME OF THE SHOW was #love because that was what it was all about,’ says Riccardo Tisci, speaking exclusively to Grazia only days after his blockbuster debut presentation in New York was shown. Celebrating his 10th anniversary at Givenchy this year, the designer’s tenure there has been nothing if not ground-breaking. From an ability to elevate the humble sweatshirt into an haute object of desire – first came snarling Rottweilers then black panthers, both spawning a million pale imitations – to his heartfelt and pioneering championing of diversity, both on the catwalk and the red carpet, he has stolen the hearts of even the most hard-to-please fashion follower. Riccardo launched the careers of Lara Stone – at the time comparatively full-bodied by rake-thin model standards – and cast his…

Do you: a) wear it anyway; b) find another dress; or c) spin into a rage and throw your phone at the nearest hanger-on? According to insiders, the correct answer is d) book yourself in for a ‘lunchtime lift', the boob job that lasts just 24 hours. The technique, said to be beloved of stars including Miley Cyrus and Kendall Jenner, involves injecting about half a litre of sterile saline solution into the breast tissue.The result? Boobs are plumped up by a cup size or two, but only for one…

AS A MONTH OF FASHION front rows kicked off last week in New York, there were some street-style trends that we were expecting to see. Head-to-toe catwalk looks? Tick. Furry loafers and perspex-heeled boots? Tick and tick. More Gucci bags than you can shake a ’70s stick at? Big fat tick. But while the A/W ’15 trends – and even some S/S ’16 ones worn straight from the catwalk – were out in force, there were a few unexpected looks that threw a fashion curve ball into proceedings… PUT THE BOOT IN They might be called the ‘Sam' and ‘Sloane', but we're thinking these AlexanderWang chunky platform boots (dubbed the ‘Frankenstein' by some) would be more at home in Camden Market than New York FashionWeek.The grungy lace-up ‘Sam' boot has…

The world-famous store – and its world-famous fabrics – is now celebrating its 140th birthday with not only a major retrospective at the Fashion and Textile Museum but also a very noticeable impact on the runways of autumn/winter 2015.

To celebrate their anniversary, you’ll nd a new wave…

OURPA NEL SUSANNAH FRA NKEL Grazia’s fashion director has been writing about fashion for more years than she cares to remember . The good news is she’ s learned a lot. @susannahfrankel JOSH NEWIS- SMITH Grazia’s junior fashion editor knows a winning A-list look when he sees it. Catch Josh on his fashion vlog, Joshington Post, every Friday on graziadaily .co.uk and Y ouTube. NAOMI WATTS SUSANNAH SAYS: ‘Something of a departure for Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing, who appears to have cast aside his love affair with body-con graphics in favour of an ocean of waterfall ruffles. Still, Naomi’s more than woman enough to ride the crest of this wave.’ JOSH SAYS: ‘TLC once sang, ‘Don’t go chasing waterfalls,’ but Naomi got drenched by one here. So noughties it’s naughty, but…

FASHIONTHRIVES ONTRENDS, but these days they move faster than ever. The clothes, culture and A-listers we’re obsessed with can change on a weekly basis – and trying to keep up can be exhausting. Some people, though, are always ahead of the curve – because it’s their job to be. They’re the agenda-setting women creating innovative new textiles, sourcing the digital influencers of the future, creating ad campaigns that get people talking and spotting the models who will dominate the catwalks. Grazia spoke to four of them to get the inside track… THE TREND FORECASTER GeraldineWharry, 39, helps brands anticipate what customers will want next. I worked as a fashion designer for companies including 7 For All Mankind and Rip Curl for 1 1 years, but was ready for a change…

It’s inspired by the iconic classification system used for men’s styles. Remember the gorgeous Levi’s 501 laundrette guy? We do! The new women’s collection has its very own three digit signature within the Levi’s Lot 700 range, meaning you can wave goodbye to stressful jean shopping and say hello to a more streamlined approach to finding the right denim for you. This week, as part of Levi’s ‘first time’ fashion challenge, we asked blogger Megan Ellaby (who has undertaken to wear denim for 30 days and try out first time experiences) to channel her inner Farrah Fawcett and put on the 721 High Rise…

Love, emotion, mindfulness… Givenchy wasn’t the only label revealing its sensitive side last week. Grazia’s Hannah Almassi reports From interpretive dance in lieu of the standard runway strut at Opening Ceremony, to Phillip Lim’s 10-year anniversary collection entitled ‘Stop and Smell the Flowers’ (whereupon he allowed himself a modest moment to look back on a salubrious career), much of New York’s usually power-packed, street-savvy offering showed a reflective, contemplative and truly romantic mood. The celebration of love was ignited with Givenchy, but the heartfelt goodness continued to pump through the avenues and streets of this notoriously tough city. It was impossible not to fall head-over-heels for Peter Copping’s enchanting ode to the most fanciful things a girlish girl could dream of for his second collection at…

LOOKING FOR AN AUTUMN wardrobe overhaul? This season’s must-have isn’t one single bag, a shoe or a coat – it’s all of them, as long as they’re suede. With the ’70s trend still going full-throttle, every fashion lover worth her salt is making a beeline for the touchy-feely material of the moment. And this is where the high street has come up trumps, offering luxurious investment buys – see the M&S update on last season’s sell-out A-line skirt (far right) worn by Alexa Chung and Olivia P – along with easy-on-your wallet suedette staples (suede’s lightweight, easier-to-maintain synthetic cousin). From retro patchwork and stripes to yards of fringing and unexpected brights – these super-soft buys promise a lot of hippy bang for your buck. Just don’t forget the Scotchgard……

Following the youngest Jenner/ Kardashian sibling’s transformation from gawky teen to uber high-maintenance Kim-a-like, 18-year-old Kylie debuted a brand new style for the delectation of fashion week VIPs. Dressed head-to-toe in an oversized, cut-out Vera Wang black suit, Kylie was placed on the all-important FROW of the Vera Wang show and was pictured posing with the designer afterwards. She even claimed to have inspired her S/S ’16 collection. ‘I love Vera Wang. She told me she thought of me while creating her show today and…

Photos: Rex Features, I - Images, Lond o n News Pictures WHEN THE LABOUR PARTY elected Jeremy Corbyn its new leader, he won by a landslide 59% of the vote. But that’s not the only majority of approval the politician has received lately. It seems the fashion world is falling for his style. Yes, we are talking about the same Jeremy Corbyn – the one with the unkempt beard, crumpled suits and shabby anoraks. While every wannabe hipster is claiming to ‘dress like your dad’, Corbyn (father to three sons) is doing his thing naturally. His polo shirt is textbook Dad Weekend Casual. The blah-brown jacket shows a disdain for fashion that’s become a geography teacher cliché. His idea of accessorising is cramming the pocket of those beige shirts with…

EVER WISHYOU’D snapped up the debut collection by Christopher Kane? Or picked up an early Erdem piece? The stellar schedule at London Fashion Week underlines the UK’s reputation as a hotbed of talent and – thanks to the support of stores across the land, the power of social media and a staunchly experimental audience – there’s no reason to miss out again. Whether you invest or name-drop, here are the 40 labels you need to know… 1 ALEXANDER LEWIS This Brazilian-American designer is based in West London and, thanks to cutting his teeth on Savile Row, the tailoring is impeccable.

FACT : ANYONE WITH MORE THAN a passing interest in fashion will have succumbed to at least one Zoolander moment. That’s why the original film is much loved and its sequel (out next February) so hotly anticipated. We may not all choose to admit it, however. And that makes it all the more remarkable that Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli – joint creative directors of the very grand house of Valentino – agreed to actively promote the new movie at the close of their also very grand Paris ready-to-wear presentation last March. After all, these two have never before knowingly played for laughs. Instead, theirs is among the most dignified and quietly influential aesthetics in fashion today, presented in an equally refined and elegant manner. It is as respectful…

As for Lisa Nandy, she was on maternity leave when Ed Miliband resigned, having just had last week she too joined new Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s Shadow Cabinet and the chances are you’re going to be hearing a lot more of both women.

SOPHIA AMORUSO IS WEARING spandex pants. The 31-year-old founder of Nasty Gal – famed for both its curated vintage offerings and new eponymous collection just recently available in the UK – promises if we were meeting in person, she’d have made more effort. But, for now, she’s at home in Los Angeles with her three poodles and new husband Joel, and I’m on the phone. So spandex it is. It’s not only her wardrobe that’s relaxed. Sophia’s chilled-out phone voice belies her high-rolling reality. But this self-confessed lover of ‘eccentric style’ has more going on than merely fashion nous. She’s also the figurehead of the #GIRLBOSS movement, stemming from the cult business guide she wrote to inspire millennial women. The #GIRLBOSS book, published last summer, offers up empowering but unapologetic…

One of the most influential collections of the season, Alessandro Michele’s debut for Gucci also showcased this, his first beauteous bag. Featuring a reinvention of the iconic Gucci G motif, it is named after the Greek god Dionysus, who transformed into a tiger to carry off a young nymph (hence the big cat-head closure). This version, finished with a hand-embroidered bee, is particularly lovely and it’s safe to assume that many a young nymph will now carry Dionysus about town in return. Fashion’s love affair with vinyl reaches its zenith with these stretch grey and sugar-pink booties, here a fashionable mid-calf height but also available thigh-high. They first appeared at the house’s spring/summer 2015 haute couture show and Dior artistic director Raf Simons loves them so much he has continued…

When it comes to putting a look together for the new season, who better to take tips from than these quick-off-the-mark street style stars?

Bold sweeps of black liner blazed a brave trail across this season’s catwalks – from razor-sharp flicks at Oscar de la Renta and Calvin Klein, to chunky streaks at Badgley Mischka. And (hurrah!) there’s no pressure for perfection whatsoever. ‘This season’s liner looks celebrate freedom of expression, so do your own thing and don’t be afraid of errors,’ says backstage fave and Maybelline UK make-up director Sharon Dowsett. If you do mess up, just claim you’re channelling the Fendi show, where models…

Whether you’re into skinnies, this season’s ’70s-style flares, relaxed boyfriend jeans or dungarees, there’s a fit made for you. Washes span the spectrum from darkest indigo to vintage washed-out with artful rips. But what do jeans-to-be-seen-in call for? Soft plaid shirting, snuggly textured knits and relaxed logo tees and sweatshirts, that’s what! On colder days, add a shearling-trim jacket or padded sporty number to finish the look. You’ll find the Grazia edit of our favourite pieces from the collection on this very page, and what’s more you could get 20% off these key autumn pieces at an exclusive event for Grazia readers!

LONDON FASHION WEEK: ABBEY CLANCY’STOP PICKS Abbey Clancy’s victory on Strictly Come Dancing was one of the tear-jerking realityTV triumphs of the last decade. It turned public perception of a supremely watchable woman who had skirted the hem of fame for too long without creating maximum impact on its head.Ask yourself how many other top tier young UK celebs have Scouse accents, multiply that sum by the depressingly patronising repetition of the words ‘common touch’ following Cilla Black to her grave and your answer may lie somewhere therein. Now think of London FashionWeek as the Emirates’ FA Cup Final for women. Divide that by the amount of proper coverage it receives onTV in comparison to the football. Add Clancy and FashionWeek together and my simple sartorial mathematics says: we need…

The campaigns will surely follow for this Brazilian beauty. Kosmemophobics (that’s people who are scared of jewellery – and yes it’s a real thing) should consider going into hiding: just look at the new extreme face bling at Givenchy. Last year’s statement earrings are quivering in their diamonique settings. The buzzy name to know is Vetements – a young Parisian label run by an international collective of seven anonymous designers. Sounds…

But Grazia has learned that, far from consulting lawyers, Kate is hoping to repair the marriage by giving her rock-star husband his freedom – with her blessing. Jamie was photographed ringless in New York – where he is touring with his band The Kills – just days after Kate was spotted at the Chiltern Firehouse, still wearing her own wedding band. According to Kate, the couple are merely ‘on a break’, until he returns to the UK after his American tour finishes at the end of the month. She has even…

HERE IS WHAT I IMAGINE happened at the zuckerberg residence early last week: Mark (angry): ‘I’m so sick of my cousin Vinnie posting pictures of his child’s nappies on my timeline.’ His wife (sympathetic but bored of this conversation): ‘Why don’t you invent a dislike button?’ And, lo, a new function was born. During a q&A session last week, Mark confirmed that, ‘People have asked about the dislike button for years. We’ve finally heard you and we’re working on this.’ Which, in theory, could be quite exciting. A new thing to play with on Facebook! Further thought, however, reveals this to be a really bad idea. Will it be illustrated with a tiny inverted thumb? Because if someone’s broken up with their boyfriend or just lost their job, I’ve generally…

EVERYWHERE WE LOOK right now, there is a ‘hot mess’. A woman who’s labelled herself that because her actions are in disarray. But who is, somehow, still adorable, sexy and managing to pay her rent. She’s dishevelled and incompetent, unthreatening, and in need of a helping hand – but honest about all of it. Prides herself on it, in fact. This self-sabotaging self-declaration is a common feature in the way women speak about themselves in 2015, sacrificing ability for likeability. The Urban Dictionary describes it thus: ‘when one’s thoughts or appearance are in a state of disarray but they maintain an undeniable attractiveness or beauty’. Related words include drunk, ugly, sexy, train wreck and slut. So why has describing yourself as a hot mess suddenly become such ‘a thing’ that…

KIM CATTRALL HATES being described as ‘childless’. ‘It sounds like you’re less, because you haven’t had a child, she told Radio from Woman’s Hour last week. She also says that , despite not having kids, she thinks of herself as a mother. ‘I am not a biological parent, but I am a parent . I have young actors and actresses that I mentor… There is a way to become a mother… which doesn’t include your name on the child’s birth certificate.’ Can a woman who hasn’t raised children Can truly call herself ‘a mother’? If you ‘mentor’ but you never changed nappies? If you dish out all the cool life advice, but you never get strict about studying? Is that a privileged, dilettante’s idea of being a mother? Or is…

We kind of couldn’t help but warm to Cabinet minister Justine Greening, after revelations that she once baffled Nick Clegg by dropping random ’80s song titles into a work conversation with him. Elton John invited Russian president Vladimir Putin to sit down and talk to him ‘over a cup of tea’ about gay rights in Russia. Sienna Miller did her bit for equal pay, revealing she’d turned down a Broadway play after realising her male co-star would be paid far more than her. Who says transparency doesn’t matter, eh?…

JAMIE OLIVER IS CRUNCHING on a pecan as we talk. Not, he points out, a candied pecan, which wouldn’t fit at all with his new obsession for all things healthy. His latest book, Everyday Super Food, has just hit our shelves and is already a number one best-seller on Amazon, spawning a TV documentary and spearheading a new campaign – with 130,000 plus signatories – against the demon white stuff: sugar. So, 16 years (yes, really!) after The Naked Chef’s passion for food stole a nation’s heart, what’s still eating at Jamie Oliver? ‘In truth, I’ve got a bit of a chip on my shoulder,’ Jamie says. ‘This country has some of the unhealthiest kids in Europe – one in three are obese.

The Dolls get drunk, date inappropriate men, throw around used pink lace knickers and live in a ‘Dolls House'. Should I be watching? Politically, um, pass! I'm not quite sure how the new age of feminism feels about referring to grown women as ‘Dolls'.Then again, neither am I entirely certain that Durrani, Stephanie, Nazy,Taylor, Melody and Caroline would care.
