AS GRETA THUNBERG arrives in New York for the UN climate summit, it’s clear none of us can ignore the ways our actions impact on the world. We all want to become more conscious consumers, but what if – like us – you love fashion? Welcome to our circular fashion issue where, as always, we bring you an edit of clothes you’ll want to wear forever, but we’re also celebrating reusing, repairing and regifting clothes that might otherwise end up in landfill. Motivated to do a wardrobe clear-out? Check out TK Maxx’s Give Up Clothes For Good campaign, where your pre-loved pieces are sold on to raise money for Cancer Research UK for Children & Young People. @hattie_brett / feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk…

Escape the doom loop With Brexit turmoil mounting by the day and no resolution to the chaos in sight, being British can feel bewildering and stressful right now. While it’s always important to stay engaged with the issues and make our voices heard where we can, it’s also vital to protect our wellbeing and avoid becoming overwhelmed by often alarming headlines. Try limiting your news intake to a few times a day, rather than constantly refreshing news apps, and varying where your information comes from, to remind yourself there are different perspectives. If your blood pressure’s still rising faster than you can say ‘prorogation’, that’s where Instagram’s kitten/pug/baking videos really come into their blessedly soothing own.…

1. Up THE WOMEN OF NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL Sequin-encrusted bra tops. Sparkly fishnet tights. Feathered headdresses, trainers, nails … A week passes, we remain in a state of thorough bedazzlement. 2. Up DEBBIE FROM NETFLIX’S GLOW Attempting to bury her guilt re leaving her young baby in LA while she takes the wrestling show to Vegas by seducing the hot young men on the hotel staff; a tactic we endorse, despite not actually being mental health professionals. 3. New in THE PROMO TOUR PICS FOR HUSTLERS The film stars Jennifer Lopez and Cardi B, clearly the premier rounds were going to be epic. We’re not sure we anticipated the full extent of the epicness, however… 4. New in BLONDE WOMAN, TOP LEFT Went trendy on Twitter…

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES, BACKGRID ‘If you had told me that one of the biggest stars in music was going to jump on stage and announce that he thought I shouldn’t have won on live television, I would’ve said, “That stuff doesn’t really happen,”’ wrote Taylor Swift in her diary 10 years ago. ‘Well, apparently… it does.’ The excerpt, recently released with her new album Lover, underplays a now-legendary moment of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Swift’s career, and modern pop culture. As Swift was midway through her acceptance speech for Best Female Video for You Belong With Me, Kanye West stormed the stage, seized her mic, and told the world that Beyoncé should have won for Single Ladies – ‘one of the best videos of all time’. At the…

Troublesome teenage themes aside – please can we take a moment to talk about the ethereal make-up looks that have us captivated? ‘I was encouraged early on to use expressive colour, shapes, glitter, gems and rhinestones,’ lead make-up artist, Doniella Davy, recently revealed. ‘Anything I wanted, essentially, as long as it fits with the characters and was propelling the story forward.’ 1. Mesmer-eyes Jules’ eye spikes in episode eight are seriously fierce. ‘I wanted them to look like they could actually injure Nate,’ Davy explains. 2. Glitter tears Under-eye shimmer is a recurring theme for Rue, which is used to evoke tears – sometimes of joy, sometimes of sadness. 3. Frog eyes Fluorescent green eyeshadow made Kat’s eyes pop in episode four, where Davy applied NYX Cosmetics Cream Eyeliner in…

Kra-vintage It’s Lenny Kravitz in the most Lenny Kravitz outfit ever: double denim, pointy white boots and a barely-there mesh top straight from 1999. If it ain’t broke! Scarlet fever Lizzo blessed us with this fiery Moschino number at the VMAs. With added boa, no less. And she’s not the only lady in red. “Iconic Iman In Venice to accept the Franca Sozzani Award, Iman dazzled in not one, but two, voluminous Valentino couture looks. We are not worthy. Neutral gear Who said beige is bland? cara, candice and the Hadid sisters prove that all you need is a little shimmer – or maybe head-to-toe sequins – to go from blah to bling. Easy!

‘I know how it feels to be unfairly treated by your employer – I don’t want others to go through that’ Business Secretary Andrea Leadsom opens up about her miscarriages, and explains how she’s reassuring business owners on Brexit “I’m delighted to be the new Business Secretary. I was keen to have a role in Boris’s government – he’s an energetic person with real charisma and we’ve worked well together in the past. The atmosphere in the Cabinet is feisty and fast-moving, but it’s friendly. In general, though, I’d like to see politicians from across parties being less tribal on Twitter. We’re meant to be role models, but some people say unbelievably hostile things. When my family sees me flicking through Twitter they take my phone off me, because no…

PHOTOS: INSTAGRAM / THECEILING.SHOP, FLORRIET, RETOLD_VINTAGE ONCE, VINTAGE SHOPPING meant trawling through musty rails at a second-hand store or car boot sale. Now it’s as easy as the tap of a finger, thanks to the rise of vintage dealers, fashion editors and influencers on Instagram, selling a personal curation of pre-loved fashion finds on their feeds. The movement makes sense. With a million tonnes of clothes disposed of every year in the UK and over 20% of that ending up in landfill, the idea of buying pre-loved clothing is ever more appealing. Even more so if you can do it in just a few easy swipes. Charon Cooijmans, founder of @theceiling.shop – which offers ’80s and ’90s vintage – was one of the pioneers of the booming vintage Insta scene.…

PHOTO: MARCO VITTUR FOOD STYLING: NENA FOSTER (NENAFOSTERFOOD.COM) I REMEMBER A LIFE without tacos as I remember a life without the internet. I’m not sure what period exactly people are referring to when they talk about the ‘good old days’, but it can’t be when we had to look up information about the Tudors on CD-ROMs while snacking on salad cream sandwiches – when the closest we had to tacos were the sizzling towers of self-assembly fajitas at TGI Fridays. Today, the internet is a blessing and a curse, but tacos are life. In my house we have a tortilla press and make salsas like cups of tea. We fry potatoes for breakfast tacos and pickle red onions for Baja-style fish ones. We’ve eaten tacos al pastor in Mexico City,…

Catch up on… Unmasked: Make-up’s Big Secret A Dorset beauty salon owner is whisked off to Papua New Guinea to uncover the dark truth about palm oil, the substance that is responsible for a good portion of its deforestation, making the more careless wings of the beauty industry the Bolsonaro [Brazil’s president] of maquillage. Your foundation will never look the same again. BBC3 IPLAYER NOW Watch live… State Of The Union Nothing says ‘the 90s’ like Nick Hornby. The author best known for nice, white records-and-football-blokes turning middle-aged takes a pot shot at modernity with a series of YouTube-length vignettes about a crumbling relationship set to the mood music of Brexit.

The School Of Life: An Emotional Education, introduced by Alain de Botton (£16.99, Hamish Hamilton, 5 September) We spend years learning facts and figures, but we’re never taught how to lead a fulfilled life. Anxiety is our fundamental state for well-founded reasons: we are intensely vulnerable physical beings. A breakdown isn’t a random malfunction, it is a very real – albeit very inarticulate – bid for health and self-knowledge. The good listener is paradoxically a skilled interrupter. But they interrupt to help the other get back to their original, sincere-yet-elusive concerns. Love begins with a hope of – at last – being able to tell someone else everything about who we are and what we feel.…

PHOTO: JOSEPH SINCLAIR I’m a night owl. I would much rather be out late or stay up reading. I’m not one of those people who naturally gets up early – it’s just not me. I know it completely contradicts the fact that I’m now doing my fourth consecutive breakfast show. I do so many different jobs, so I don’t have a typical day. My commute to work is within walking distance. I’ve timed that it’s three minutes, door to door. After the Brit Awards, I only got 45 minutes sleep, so let’s just say I overslept. I can say this now because in all my 10 years, I’ve never missed a show, but if I hadn’t lived right next to work, I might not have made it. You never get…

HAPPY DAYS In reply to Polly Vernon’s Like the song (doesn’t) say: don’t be happy, do worry (26 Aug): I don’t think we should be afraid of happiness in this age of ‘world burning’, because it’s not happiness that’s the problem, it’s complacency. I’ve been through four episodes of depression and, having come out the other side, I now feel happier than I have in a long time, which is helping me to be way more active in terms of the things that matter, than when I was in that depressive state. We don’t need to be unhappy to be ‘raging and afraid’ about the things that matter. We need all the positivity we can get to fight back and turn that anger and fear into action. Caroline Prudames FATHER…

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES RECENTLY, THE internet got its knickers in a twist over women overusing the phrase ‘no worries if not!’, thereby undermining any attempt to demand things they truly deserve (money, work, consideration, et cetera). I took a moment to contemplate my own occasional deployment of the phrase, then concluded that when I use it, I do so not because I lack confidence as a lady (I don’t), or because I suffer from impostor syndrome (I really don’t. Far from thinking I don’t merit the status, dosh and respect bestowed upon me as a journalist, I actually think I’m wildly underestimated and deserve more)… No. When I ‘No Worries If Not!’, I do it because I’m English. It’s not my sex that conditions me to come over all snivelling…

YOU’D NEED A hefty dose of fortitude – and perhaps a dash of foolishness – to set up a new brand now. Fashion is a tough business at the best of times, but against the backdrop of an uncertain socio-economic climate, the forecast can appear gloomy, even for the biggest players. Despite this outlook, a trio of exciting new names are launching this month. And don’t think they’re making a cheap play for popularity via obvious hits and social media clickbait; instead Gerbase, Ssōne and Gauge81 have each anchored their agenda in radical, refreshing authenticity. Introducing the trendless brand (that, by the way, is a compliment). They join the likes of Refine and Tove, which launched earlier this year, both dealing in simple silk pieces that look both new and…

PHOTOS: INSTAGRAM/GRETATHUNBERG AS GRETA THUNBERG finally reached the end of her long, often uncomfortable journey across the Atlantic last Wednesday, she tweeted: ‘Land!! The lights of Long Island and New York City ahead.’ Refusing to fly to avoid a plane’s gas emissions, the 16-year-old climate change activist had embarked on a 15-day, 3,000-mile voyage from Plymouth to New York on a zero-emissions, solar-powered racing yacht. The journey was arduous: the boat had no shower or toilet and she survived on freeze-dried food. On arrival, after a quick rest, she joined a strike outside the UN headquarters, where she’ll appear at a climate summit later this month. At a press conference, she called for immediate action to tackle climate change, saying, ‘It is insane that a 16-year-old would have to cross…

LAST WEEK THERE was good news for optimists (although maybe there isn’t any other kind?). A study found that positive people were more likely to achieve ‘exceptional longevity’ – that’s living to 85 or older. After decades of research, scientists at Boston University concluded that a positive outlook enables healthy ageing, and is associated with a 11-15% longer life span. ‘More optimistic people tend to have goals and the confidence to reach them, are more effective at problem-solving, and they may be better at regulating their emotions during stressful situations,’ says Professor Lewina Lee, associate professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine. ‘Evidence suggests that interventions, such as imagining a future in which everything has turned out well, or more intensive cognitive-behavioural therapy, can increase levels of optimism.’…

PHOTOS: GALLERY STOCK, STOCKSY, SHUTTERSTOCK WE LIVE IN the age of the overshare. It’s now become as popular to post about our struggles as it is our Valencia-filtered Good Times. Scrolling through Instagram, trigger warnings abound. My friends and followers are talking about depression, periods, terminal illness, break-ups, menopause, eating disorders, miscarriages. It makes for eclectic consumption: Latte art! Aleppo! The bridesmaids! Bipolar! Cocktails! Cancer! But something I don’t see very often is anyone posting with candour about their careers. A few years ago, I had a high-profile job as the deputy editor of a women’s magazine. I was made acting editor-in-chief when my boss resigned – meaning I was in charge until a new leader was appointed. I applied, as did a number of other people, and felt that…

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES, SHUTTERSTOCK I NEVER QUITE got hygge. (Is it a woolly jumper? That bit of Christmas Day before everyone starts arguing? Both?) Or, now I come to think about it, the KonMari method either. I cannot think of anything more tedious than origami-ing my pants into pastel-coloured shoe boxes every laundry day from here to eternity. But nunchi? When I open The Power Of Nunchi: The Korean Secret To Happiness And Success, by Korean-American writer Euny Hong, I feel quite optimistic. Nunchi, I learn, is the ancient art of gauging people’s shifting moods, motivations and allegiances, then using empathy and diplomacy to build trust, and ultimately achieve your goal – whether that’s making guests feel welcome at your party, or fast-tracking your career. It’s a sort of weaponised…

PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES WHEN THE NEWS broke about Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth splitting, I overheard a colleague laugh. ‘Married for seven months? That’s actually pretty long by celebrity standards.’ And I couldn’t help but wince. Because although I’m not a pop star or a Hollywood actor, my marriage lasted about that long, too. It’s difficult to explain to anyone who hasn’t been through it how excruciating it is to get divorced – especially when, just a few months earlier, you were in a white dress saying ‘I do’. I’ve had friends who have tried to sympathise, saying, ‘Well, when my long-term relationship ended…’ But there’s something about having stood up in front of all your friends and family, and vowed to be with this person forever and then, well,…

ASK THE EXPERT How to survive a life crisis Poppy Jamie, co-founder of wellbeing brand, Happy Not Perfect A life crisis can mean many things. For me it was a long period of endless questioning: what am I doing? Am I good enough? Should I stay in this job? Should I be in this relationship? Whether we like it or not, we’ve all been conditioned by society to follow certain paths. Let’s say you’ve been told the right thing to do is to get a partner and settle down, or to try to buy a house, and suddenly you find yourself asking: ‘Am I on that path? Is this something I even really want?’ That’s a life crisis. It makes you feel uncertain, unstable and unsure of whether you’re doing…

I identified with Switch on to Second Hand September (2 Sep). The only new clothes I buy are lingerie. All other items I buy are from charity shops. Not only am I helping the planet by recycling, I am saving myself a lot of unnecessary expense. I often get complimented on my outfits and smile to myself knowing they cost a fraction of what they would new. My latest find was a hat for a wedding. It still had the £99 price tag on. It cost me £6! I’ll tell my family and friends about Oxfam’s campaign in hope they get involved.…

LIKE SOME WILD, tearaway love child of Skins and Requiem For A Dream, updated for the Snapchat generation, HBO’s Euphoria has been one of the most buzzed-about new series of the summer, with its explicit, parent-panicking depiction of the three apparent pillars of teen life in 2019: sex, drugs and social media. The darkly comedic drama has also made rising stars of its young and diverse cast, including Barbie Ferreira, the body positive model who plays the would-be cam girl (a purveyor of internet porn via a webcam), and prey-turned-hunter Kat Hernandez. In a hotel room in LA today, 22-year-old Ferreira is apologising for her rasping croak, which, honestly, is precisely the voice the sultry young sex-bomb should own. My own school years, I tell her, were absolutely nothing like…

1. Be more peach In moments of conflict, emulate a peach. Euny says, ‘Be round, expansive, with no jagged edges for anyone to grab and use against you.’ 2. Tackle troublesome texting Add phrases like ‘Shall we talk more when I see you?’ to bring the chat back to a more nunchi-friendly face-to-face environment. 3. Use your shyness When you are in a new group, take the pressure off yourself to act or speak – instead use your eyes and ears to gather data. Soon the right words and actions will come. 4. Know your feelings If you feel conflicting ‘gut feelings’, the ‘right’ intuition to listen to will feel factual, coming from your head and gut; while the ‘wrong’ anxious type sits heavily on the chest. 5. Nunchify the…

NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED. AS TOLD TO EIMEAR O’HAGAN ILLUSTRATION MICHELLE THOMPSON ‘Either I’m too angry or he’s too drunk’ Anna, 42, is a private tutor from Surrey He couldn’t get it up. After his three bottles of red wine and four whiskeys at a friend’s dinner party, I wasn’t particularly surprised. Rolling off me, his breath practically flammable, he slurred, ‘Sorry about that’, before promptly passing out, snoring loudly while I lay awake staring at the ceiling. There are three of us in my marriage. Me, my husband Nick, and alcohol. And increasingly I feel like the interloper, the one looking in on Nick’s ever-deepening and destructive relationship with the bottle. We met in our late twenties in a South London pub. He was with his mates from the…

THE BOUTIQUE HOTEL shook up the interior design world, with the likes of Babington House fuelling a lust for stylish but relaxed décor in the home. Now restaurants and bars are the newest source of design ideas. Pip Prinsloo, head of design at John Lewis & Partners, flagged up their influence at the store’s A/W19 presentation. ‘It’s where we all look now,’ she says, highlighting Libertine Bar at Casa Bonay in Barcelona as a favourite. ‘Restaurants continually top our lists as the go-to place for interior inspiration,’ adds Lucy St George, co-founder of online homeware retailer Rockett St George. ‘Demand for Instagrammable venues is at an all-time high, and design is what sets these places apart,’ she says. ‘Some of our favourite interiors include Sketch, for making pastel pinks the…

THE CAPTURE OF The Capture is 30 seconds of distorted CCTV footage at a Croydon bus stop. A handsome young soldier is kissing an exceptionally beautiful, smart woman. She jauntily runs for the bus after a bashful farewell. What happens next is the substance of a major, confident new drama that has all the tension and jeopardy of The Bodyguard, if not quite yet its headline-grabbing sense of occasion. The Capture is full of intuitive storytelling and modish references. While interviewing a young Asian witness at home on her new South London homicide patch, fast-tracked detective Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger, currently very busy amassing gemstones for her CV) shows a crucial understanding of the teen phenomenon, Fortnite. On a celebratory booze-up in the pub, our unreadable ex-serviceman Shaun Emery (Callum…
