On our pages this month, you will find it all, from the key emerging trends to the people and places to know. Our cover star is no stranger to September editions of Vogue. Perhaps no other face so effortlessly captures the essence of the fin-de-siècle supermodel as Linda Evangelista’s. Through the ’80s and ’90s she ruled catwalks and campaigns; her name a byword for beauty; her attitude ballsy and blunt; the intensity of her stare down a photographer’s lens pure electricity. With such outward confidence, Linda was a glorious affront to the notion that models should be seen and…

Rose Ferguson Nutritionist and model Rose Ferguson catches up with her long-time friend Kate Moss, to talk about the super’s new beauty brand, on page 274. “I was so honoured to do the interview. It was pretty nerve-racking as we’ve never been formal together! Safe to say, we pulled it off,” says Rose. JANELLE OKWODU On page 133, to celebrate Taschen’s new book Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History, spotlighting some 40 years of grills, chains and watches, writer Janelle Okwodu illustrates the genre’s profound impact on bijoux and beyond. “How we adorn ourselves, see ourselves and engage with the world reflects in the lyrics and the pieces artists create as an extension of their vision,” says Okwodu. STEVEN MEISEL British Vogue’s September issue found Steven Meisel and Linda Evangelista back on set together. The…

Forget shock horror, this season’s most exhilarating ensembles were imagined in electrifying, senses-tingling pink. Back in 1937, Elsa Schiaparelli showcased the fiercest of fuchsia in her haute couture creations, a tone that more than eight decades later still signals daring, dopamine dressing. Pierpaolo Piccioli donned fuchsia-tinted glasses at Valentino with a collection in which every individual piece, down to the shoes and accessories, was imagined in the same zingy tone. Too trepidatious for a full look? A statement piece in the sprightliest of shocking pink has the power to take any outfit to megawatt margins, whether it’s by way of Versace’s vertiginous platforms and spaghettistrap dress or Molly Goddard’s long-sleeved number and a cosy tailored coat courtesy of Michael Kors Collection. ALEX KESSLER HAIR: CLAIRE GRECH. MAKE-UP: SIOBHAN FURLONG. NAILS: SIMONE CUMMINGS.…

Designers had a soft spot for the most sumptuous of textures for autumn/winter 2022, smoothing things over on the runway with strokable, supple leather. Looks weren’t reserved for rebellious bikers, The Matrix obsessives or dominatrixes, but were most covetous when presented as alloccasion timeless pieces – a Chloé shirt, a Gabriela Hearst bustier dress, a smart pair of tailored Joseph trousers or an Hermès blazer. “It has a kind of superpower, a transformative quality and an extraordinary way of bringing out someone’s innate charisma and energy,” says 16Arlington’s Marco Capaldo. The best way to butter up? Keep to classic cappuccino, caramel and dark chocolate colours. These pieces are ones that everyone wants to touch. Your new season maxim? “Hands off!” AK…

“RAINBOW-hued prints will help carry summer’s SPIRIT OF CELEBRATION into the AUTUMN months”JOY MONTGOMERY, SENIOR COMMERCE WRITER Mind-expanding pattern or it didn’t happen. That’s the maximalist mantra advocated on the autumn/winter 2022 runways, a retinasearing synthesis of colour and an exuberant amalgam of swirling and striped prints. The ’70s psychedelic motifs in the archive of Emilio Pucci – a brand synonymous with serotonin-boosting patterns – inspired artistic director Camille Miceli’s debut collection for the Italian label, a profusion of trippy kaftans with frothy fringing, palazzo pants and silk tops. Roksanda – whose collections reflect her skill as a deft colourist – used audacious geometric print as a form of armour and protection, and crafted gowns that safeguarded the body in layers of tessellated grids. We admit that wacky, warped prints aren’t…
