It’s one of the more controversial talking points within the fashion industry; the size of models. There’s long been debate over whether catwalk stars are too thin. Now, questions are being raised over whether it’s right to celebrate plus-size models who, at the opposite end of the scale, could also be considered unhealthy. On page 52, Katie Glass investigates both sides of the argument. We’d like to hear your thoughts too. Regardless of your body shape, you’ll be pleased to hear there’s a new denim look to suit you. On page 73, our fashion team bring you the biggest trends of the season from trophy jackets to the cropped flare. You can’t go wrong with a denim addition to your wardrobe. And finally, as it’s Valentine’s week, something to give…

Photos: Getty Images, Xposure Photos, Brooklyn Beckham/Instagram WHETHER IT’S a scantily clad - and moley - Gigi Hadid dominating catwalks and campaign billboards or vitiligo sufferer Winnie Harlow's ongoing ascent to super-stardom, it seems ‘skindividuality' is the mainstream beauty industry's big new buzzword. Differences, finally, are in vogue and, if further proof is needed, look to the forthcoming Burberry fragrance campaign, which has freckle-faced models like Ben Rees. As a super-moley person, I couldn't be happier. While the average adult has between 10 and 40 spread across their whole body, I have 40 just on one arm - not to mention ones on my face, my neck… and pretty much everywhere else. While I don't attempt to cover them up, they're something I've felt self-conscious about in the past, particularly…

Photos: Getty, Flynetpictres, Scope Features IT WAS UNDOUBTEDLY ONE OF the biggest A-list scandals of recent years. When Hollywood director Rupert Sanders was pictured in a clinch with Kristen Stewart, it spelled the end of the actress's five-year relationship with Robert Pattinson, as well as Rupert's own 11-year marriage to model Liberty Ross. The scandal was all the greater because Rupert had directed both women in Snow White And The Huntsman, in which Liberty played Kristen's mother. Now, more than three years on, it appears that Liberty, 37, has found happiness. As Grazia went to press, insiders had revealed plans for Liberty to marry her music mogul financé Jimmy Iovine on Valentine's Day, at the Beverly Hills mansion of Hollywood exec David Geffen. According to the source, ‘It promises to…

For the skin and lips, less is certainly more. We predict this will be the new, understated festival face.…

TOMMY HILFIGER THIS TIME OF YEAR IS BRUTAL. As if it weren’t bad enough that our jeans still feel somewhat snug after the festive season, this colder weather is wreaking havoc with our beauty routines. Our favourite face creams simply aren’t up to the task of wintry temperatures and our limbs are so dry, we’re in danger of developing scales. So we’ve taken matters in hand, spoken to the experts and done extensive research on how to get through this chilly weather while staying on top of your beauty game. Bring on the brrrr... CHEEKY CHAPPY While we always dream of looking like Bond girl snow-bunnies in winter – all glowy-skinned and flushed of cheek – the chapped, flaky reality is horribly different. Cold weather is disastrous for your complexion…

Photos: Rex, Xposure In Vinyl, the amazing Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire) plays Richie Finestra, the coke-snorting, shouty, amoral boss of American Century records. It’s the early ’70s, so the industry is full to bursting with private jets, hookers and guns. Richie is negotiating a buy-out by Polygram that rests on his acquisition of Led Zeppelin. Because he’s a physically sturdy, emotionally weak Italian-American lead, the spectre of Tony Soprano looms large. Vinyl is the biggest roll-out for HBO since The Sopranos shut up shop. Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese are executive producers and the latter’s influence can be felt in a heavy debt to The Wolf Of Wall Street. Juno Temple is the upscale, drug-peddling office girl at the outset of a Sid and Nancy birth-of-punk storyline. It’s a little…

NEW YORK MIGHT BE LAUDED AS the fashion capital of America, but the West Coast is coming after its crown. Want proof? Nothing stamps out the seal of approval like Hedi Slimane’s decision to stage Saint Laurent at The Palladium in LA this week, part 1 of his A/W ’16 womenswear collection (Part 2 will show, as usual, in Paris on 7 March). Hedi’s Saint Laurent studio has called West Hollywood home since 2012 (in fact, his slightly diva-ish demand for the Paris house to be based there is rumoured to be part of the reason why these shows may be his last for the brand). But where Hedi, fashion’s Pied Piper leads, others follow. Cue the mass LA migration: Rachel Comey has forgone a slot at NYFW for a…

LAST WEEK, THE BITTER CUSTODY battle between Madonna and ex-husband Guy Ritchie over their teenage son Rocco was said to have left the singer ‘close to a breakdown’. After flying into London in an attempt to persuade her 15-year-old son to return with her to New York, Madonna left the UK with no clear agreement over Rocco’s future and without him by her side. One associate of the singer, who used a three-day break from her Rebel Heart tour as the first opportunity to meet with Rocco in person, said, ‘He is digging in his heels and is adamant that he is staying in Britain. Now it looks as if any resolution will have to be decided by the courts.’ Photos: Rex Features, Splash News, Madonna/Instagram “I AM TOUGH, I…

IT’S 16 YEARS SINCE we were shocked to see Sophie Dahl’s voluptuous naked body posing for a YSL Opium campaign. And we’re long past the novelty of Jean Paul Gaultier sending Crystal Renn down his Paris runway in 2006. Since then, designer Mark Fast has had size 12-14 models walk for him (at 2009’s London Fashion Week). Plus-sized models have now featured on the cover of Vogue Italia, plus-sized models Ashley Graham and Candice Huffine have posed for Sports Illustrated and the Pirelli calendar respectively, while other girls have starred in campaigns for H&M, Calvin Klein and Christian Louboutin. Plus-sized bloggers such as Gabi Gregg have become household ‘fatshion’ names. Gossip singer Beth Ditto is making a line of larger clothing with Jean Paul Gaultier and even Barbie – the…

WE ALL KNOW A ‘POWER COUPLE’. Relationships where both parties are so ridiculously successful that it would be impossible to pick who’s doing better. Maybe you’re part of one. But when two high-achieving perfectionists get together, the rivalry can take its toll. So what happens when you’re suffering competitive stress? When Jo Yates, 30, from Surrey, first met her boyfriend Tom, 25, on Twitter, she was impressed by how ambitious and successful he was. ‘Even though he was five years younger than me, he had a high-flying career in PR that he was passionate about. I like my job at a healthcare charity, but it’s not my dream career, so meeting Tom made me realise that I had to up my game. Looking back, I think meeting Tom was the…

EMILY PHILLIPS Grazia’ssenior commissioning editor Whether or not you warm to Sophie Stark (I came close a few times), you’ll certainly know plenty of her facets. Presented through the filter of her friends’ and family’s eyes, this picture of the bird-like, socially distant film-maker constantly keeps you at arm’s length. However, the individual accounts each hold up a mirror to the teller – and prove as unflinching and revealing as the glare of her camera is on them. ANNA SILVERMAN Grazia’sjunior features writer I felt tantalisingly close to getting to know the real Sophie but, at the same time, was never fully satisfied I’d heard her side of the story. North refuses to give Sophie a voice. Instead, her life unfolds through anecdotes from friends and family. The result is…

NORTHERN LIGHTS Pretty much everything The Fall and Broadchurch got wrong in their second seasons, Sally Wainwright's brilliant Happy Valley gets spot on. Sarah Lancashire is back as police sergeant Catherine Cawood, her nemesis Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton) now languishing in prison. The drama sizzles while the dialogue tells it straight. Great British drama at its best. Tuesday, 9pm, BBC One PSYCHICS R US My new obsessive hate-watch is Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry. Whichever side of Mystic Meg's fringe you sit on communing with the spirits, Henry is a demented hoot - a perfect blend of high-camp sincerity and belief in his own ability that speaks directly to Hollywood's Z-list. A lesson in personal tenacity. Sunday, 10pm, E! FOREVER FRIENDS UKTV launches its smart female wing W with…

SINGULAR SENSATIONS Are you a victim of singlism? (1 February) hit such a familiar note I felt compelled to write. I find it astounding that in this era of acceptance, where people can change gender or marry someone of the same sex, you are still made to feel like a freak if you haven’t found your ‘other half”. I have a fulfilling job that I love, own my beautiful flat, have a loving family and amazing circle of friends, but apparently there is something fundamental missing from my life?! I’ve even had work colleagues, of my own age, asking me what I’m doing wrong! And if that isn’t bad enough, we’re financially punished with single supplements, paying extra for the privilege of using less. Kay I very much enjoyed the…

Hmm - I'm trying to think who readsGrazia… my sister, Molly. She's my best friend. What’s your biggest extravagance? When I moved flat, the guy downstairs was selling a Tutankhamun sarcophagus and I bought if off him. So I have a pretty expensive human-sized sarcophagus in my flat now. When was the last time you were embarrassed? On the football pitch. I'm probably not as good a footballer as I think I am, so I routinely get embarrassed of an evening playing football. What’s your type? Jolly and amenable.…

Photos: Splash News, cherylofficial/Instagram, Getty Images CHERYL FERNANDEZVERSINI’S soon-to-be-ex-husband, Jean-Bernard, has no shortage of detractors. Graziahas previously revealed how JB’s ex employers describe him as a ‘social climber’, while neighbours have cast doubts on claims of his ostentatious upbringing. Cheryl’s inner circle are said to have been distrustful of his motives from the start, accusing him of being rude at high-profile events – but until now their concerns have only been voiced behind closed doors. Then, last week, Cheryl’s colleague, The X Factor’s warm-up star Ian Royce, said what many had been thinking in a series of inflammatory tweets. Responding to reports that JB, 34, is seeking a £3m sweetener to prevent him selling his story, Ian branded him ‘abusive’ and ‘fame-hungry’, adding that, ‘I wish I’d knocked him out…

Photos: Catwalking.com,The Urban Spotter THE CATWALKS may have been awash with fantastic froth at the Paris Couture shows, but fashion editors’ feet were telling a different story, namely, androgynous casual-chic. Indeed, early front-runner for the most lust-worthy shoe of spring is the Gucci pearl-encrusted, fold-down-heel loafer, or Sliced Loaf [left and right]. It says, ‘I may wear Gucci loafers but see how I kick back my heels!’ But if, as we suspect, the Guccis are on wait-list lockdown, there are some great alternatives. From Bally’s beige numbers (team with a navy skirt) to Topshop’s in burgundy (wear with turned-up jeans), they are curiously versatile. The best thing since...…

Now might be a good time to start expanding the theory that Not Really Getting Dressed is the new Getting Dressed Up. Forget your glittering-ceremony-appropriate gown with gaping cleave and daring thigh split. Park your season-after-next print, hemline, ruff, statement cardi. It ain’t about that. It’s about blurring the line between still being in bed and being upright and functional in the outside world. It’s about springy waistbands, cosy linings, minimal fastenings and jersey fabrics so soft, it’s like angel kittens are nuzzling you all over. Anyone who’s anyone…

Photo: Marco Vittur Russia is revered for its cultural richness, dramatic landscapes and legendary opulence, so no wonder it has inspired the latest creation by Giorgio Armani's ‘haute parfume' Privé arm. Challenged with the Herculean task of encapsulating the Russian spirit, and handed an ingredient carte blanche (a rare treat in a world where fashion houses often hand perfumers prescriptive briefs, budgets and ingredient lists), renowned perfumers Pascal Gaurin and Fabrice Pellegrin created Rouge Malachite and Vert Malachite. The former - a delicately balanced, cashmere-soft floral with heady lily at its heart - expresses the diversity of this land. The latter, a voluptuous, addictive celebration of tuberose, pays homage to Russia's women. And why malachite? Well, simply because it is one of Russia's most celebrated stones, found at the heart…

Embrace what’s being put forward but insist that certain conditions be met. Jupiter’s connection with Venus is sharpening your instincts and reminding you that, on occasion, you’ve been too compliant with people who have ultimately taken advantage of your good nature. It’s not to happen again. PISCES 20 Feb – 20 Mar Having planned to do something for yourself, by yourself, you’ll have to think twice when people assume they’re included.
