Inhoudsopgave van issue 546 - Grazia

There’s no doubt it’s been an amazing but tough few weeks for Victoria Beckham – from celebrating the first anniversary of her London store and seven years of her acclaimed fashion label, to having her marriage called into question. Grazia has been with the designer as all this has been going on: at an intimate party she recently hosted with David, and at her showroom as she talked us through her new VVB collection. Read our exclusive interview with Victoria on page 22. You may also notice that we’ve had a little makeover. We’ve kept all your favourite bits and added a few extras I hope you’ll love – especially our new style section ‘How to be in fashion’ (page 91), Fit Files (your must-read guide to the latest in…

Photos: Splash News, Instagram HOLLYWOOD WAS IN SHOCK last week at the death of actor Jim Carrey's ex-girlfriend, Cathriona White, from a suspected drugs overdose. The 30-year-old Irish make-up artist was discovered dead at her rented apartment in LA, and a suicide note she reportedly left mentioned breaking up with the 53-year-old on 24 September. On that evening, Cat had posted worrying messages on social media, writing, ‘Signing off Twitter, I hope I have been a light to my nearest and dearest.' On hearing the news, TheTruman Showstar released a statement: ‘I am shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of my sweet Cathriona. She was a truly kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil, to whom loving and being loved was all that sparkled. My heart…

Photos: Anthea Simms AS THE FASHION PACK finishes their global tour of the front row, one accessory has been spearheading a plasti revolution – Dior’s perspex-heeled boots The unashamedly kinky thigh-high pate leather boots and their fluoro-bright boiled-sweet heels had us all talking after the A/W ’15 catwalk show in March, but it’s the mid-calf version that’s taking fashion month by storm, with fans from Anna Dello Russo (above) to Kylie Jenner. Modern, eye-catching and just a bit weird, this runway trend has all the signs of being a street-style hit, with acetate accessories cropping up everywhere you look. It’s time to join the plastics.…

Neither Serena Williams nor Natalia Vodinova calls themselves ‘feminist’. I know, because they told me when I interviewed them, shortly after they rolled off the set of the 2016 Pirelli calendar shoot. Natalia said, ‘I don’t know exactly what [feminist] means’; Serena said, ‘It can be a harsh word.’ I was surprised; partly because this particular Pirelli calendar that hit the news last week– the vision of Annie Liebowitz – is designed to celebrate powerful, inspiring, creative women, rather than women who look spectacularly good in latex with their boobs out, which (you may be aware) is how the calendar usually rolls. Serena and Natalia are the only vaguely traditional models in a cast list that also features Yoko Ono, Amy Schumer and Agnes Gund, 78-year-old president emerita of the…

Photos: Channel 4 Pictures, Rex Features, Xposure Michaela Coel’s comedy began life on stage as Chewing Gum Dreams, a pacey monologue about a London estate. Now abbreviated to Chewing Gum, the TV incarnation is a revelation. So is Michaela. She plays Tracey, a 24-year-old virgin whose churchy sexual abstinence has been repressed so far it’s manifesting itself as nosebleeds. She is literally, to quote fellow Hackney estate idol Leona Lewis, ‘bleeding love’. Stuck in a celibate relationship with Ronald, preached at by her sister Cynthia and tantalised by the raucous sex-talk of her BFF Candice, Tracey’s brakes are about to come carousing off. In episode one of this vivid, original exploration of stilted adolescence, she gets gooey for the local estate poet, who trammels the familiar gangways of a 1930s…

AUTUMN IS WELL ANDTRULY UPON US and, as every fashion girl knows, this is the perfect excuse to rock out your luxury cashmere pieces. Think smart day dresses, cosy loungewear, cool beanie hats and the softest scarves. The catch? These kind of items can be really tricky to wash without shrinking or generally getting out of shape. Well, unless of course you seek help from the experts. Miele has put its 100 years of laundry experience to good use in creating the new W1 washing machine with wool-friendly features.

IN AN INDUSTRY fuelled by money and power, it’s all too easy to forget that fun – wit, entertainment and even a touch of madness – is a most precious commodity. And so: ‘Super-traditional fabrics mixed up into something totally contemporary and fun – that was the most important thing, to have that and to play with it,’ said long-time Prada design director Fabio zambernardi backstage immediately after this storied label’s show in Milan. The first lady of Italian fashion was absent due to a family bereavement but there was no question that her elegant presence informed every last detail of the collection in question. › In a season where vintage references are ubiquitous, this designer showed the rest of the world how, with the utmost refinement, that might best…

Photos: Getty BAGS, SHOES, belts and jewellery: no one could question the fact that these are all tried-and-tested accoutrements. But there's now a different add-on to provide extra newness. Find it in the form of sew-on, iron-on, pin-on or stick-on patches. While the concept has been around for decades, this season's are all about showcasing your sense of style humour. Use them to add personality to denim, update last year's cosy knitwear or plaster on to plain bags. You'll find plenty of niche patch purveyors online (Jess Warby on Etsy should be noted) but there's one new launch causing a real buzz in high fashion circles. Brit model Edie Campbell and her artist friend Christabel MacGreevy have designed the Itchy Scratchy Patchy range of LOL-able embroidered cartoon figures to apply…

I’d rather have talked about my salary, political affiliations or amazed you with tales of my sex life. But not any more. Now, I’m happy to tell you how much I weigh: 95 kilos. A cool 15st. Stick that in your sandwich and eat it. I know. It’s a lot. But it’s all relative. I have huge boobs (a 34K, if you please!). I’m kind of tall. I have junk in my trunk. I am certainly a lot larger than pre-marriage and baby, when you’d have had to waterboard me to get my weight out (12st: this also sounds a lot…

Photos: Reuters, Rex Features WHEN KATIE HOLMES ‘blindsided’ Tom Cruise with divorce papers in June 2012, she walked away from their six-year marriage with sole custody of daughter Suri and a relatively small financial settlement – reportedly just child support. But three years on, Katie’s said to be preparing to face her ex-husband in court again. According to US reports, there’s a clause in the couple’s divorce that states she can only apply for increased financial support after three years, or if there’s been a substantial change in circumstances. And for Katie, 36, one of those major changes is said to be the lack of contact between Tom, 53, and Suri, nine, with some US reports claiming the actor hasn’t seen his daughter for more than two years.

The terror is so pronounced, The X Factor judge confessed, it caused her to suffer panic attacks. I know where she’s coming from. This year, I found out I was at risk of the terrifyingly named ‘sudden adult death syndrome’ – the illness that causes otherwise fit and healthy people to suffer sudden cardiac arrests – as happened to footballer Fabrice Muamba. There is no warning, no time to get to hospital. Twelve young people die suddenly every week in the UK from undiagnosed heart conditions such as mine. And the most accurate projection doctors could give me was a six per cent chance of dropping…

All other images courtesy of Uniqlo IT’S OVER 32°C and in the grand confines of the five-star Shangri-La Hotel, Paris, Carine Roitfeld casually reclines, clothed in a faux leather pencil skirt worn with a snug white tee, peeking out from under a shoulder-robed, leopard-print coat. Topped and tailed by a slip of black silk knotted around her neck and lace-up stilettos. And a jumper folded next to her, just in case. Carine, 60, remains the definition of cool in every sense of the word – just what you’d hope for from a brand ambassador showcasing an autumn/winter collection during a heatwave.

THERE’S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING, RIGHT? That’s why, to celebrate the new Lot 700 series, Levi’s and Grazia have joined forces to create a unique ‘first time’ fashion challenge. Cue blogger and friend of Grazia, Megan Ellaby, who has been tasked by us and those lovely folk at Levi’s HQ to wear denim for 30 days straight – and try a whole host of new experiences along the way. From taking her chances on a pair of roller skates to eating a raw food diet, Megan has been a busy bee the last few weeks. This week Megan’s challenge is to go to the cinema alone, giving her the perfect opportunity to road-test two pairs of jeans from Levi’s Lot 700 series – the black 715 Bootcut and 721…

ZOE CRONIN Grazia’s deputy chief sub editor Jenny Lawson – aka The Bloggess – attempts to fight off depression and anxiety by being determinedly, furiously happy. This involves entertaining herself with taxidermied raccoon jockeys at 4am, dressing as a koala to hug an actual koala, going to couples’ therapy just to win an argument with her husband, and receiving a voodoo vagina through the post. Poignant, inspiring, occasionally revolting and very funny.

For a couple who so publicly declared their love - on and off social media - Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris have gone remarkably quiet. It's believed the music megastars are ‘on a break' from their whirlwind seven-month romance. ‘Talvin' haven't been pictured together for almost two months - the last time being 11 August, when they went out for dinner in Santa Monica - and Calvin, 31, hasn't mentioned ‘my girl' on social media since 3 July. ‘The relationship went from 0 to 60 in a matter of weeks,' said a source close to the couple. ‘So it was perhaps inevitable that…
