1 Made in the suede World, meet Jodie. First spotted on the spring 2016 runway, this Chloé handbag is fashioned in a camera-style shape, crafted in sumptuous navy suede, and boasts gilded hardware—in other words, it is destined for street-style fame. Charmed, I’m sure. 2 Flights of fancy Every now and then, along comes a brand so unique that it stops you in your Instagramscrolling tracks. Of Rare Origin’s photogenic creations did just that. Launched in 2016 by a New York City–based motherdaughter duo, the label’s handcrafted designs are heart-worthy. 3 On the block It’s no secret that the fashion world has given comfortable yet oh-sofabulous footwear their stamp of approval. Case in point: the midheight block-heel sandal that’s set to be everywhere. Tabitha Simmons’ beautifully embroidered fl irty fl…

THERE’S SOMETHING unmistakably modern about a Valentino dress. At the house’s Spring 2016 couture shows, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Isadora Duncan plissés and Mariano Fortuny Delphos gowns floated down the runway on barefoot models with gold snakes in their hair, as though from another world. But there’s nothing mythical about the making of a dress. It comes down to talent, labor, and time. How much time? Some 2,800 hours. For Firmament d’Étoiles, Valentino’s powder-rose paneled dress, that is. Oiseau Psychédélique, the green velvet gown that was arguably the show’s centerpiece, took 1,800 hours to craft. I was pleasantly surprised that Valentino’s program revealed, alongside look names and descriptions, the time it took to produce some of the collection’s most intricate pieces. With everyone questioning what drives haute couture’s…

BAG IT Leave it to Miuccia Prada to breathe new life into the classic cross-body. The designer updated the utilitarian bag for prefall with thick straps done in contrasting colors and gold hardware, giving it a militaristic edge. For top marks, wear the bag high across your chest so that it rests along the rib cage. Consider it the finishing touch to this season’s chic uniform. Prada bag. prada.com.…

TRUE BLUE Our April issue champions great fashion at every age, and this month’s chic A-listers are prime examples of timeless style in shades of silver and pale blue. Designer favorite KATE BOSWORTH stood out at the couture shows wearing a brocade suit set, the always elegant HELEN MIRREN shone in metallic sequins, and girl-of-the-moment BRIE LARSON continued her hot streak in a straight-off-the-runway Atelier Versace dress. Meanwhile, JANUARY JONES, in Altuzarra, mastered heavy embellishment, and red-carpet regular KIRSTEN DUNST was equally alluring in tiered Chanel.…

LET IT RIP HOLE STORY Deconstructed denim is not for the faint of heart, so let fashion pacesetter Julia Sarr-Jamois be your guide and take your most distressed jeans to the next level with an equally daring patterned blouse or sweater. More is more. CARTE BLANCHE WHITE HERE, WHITE NOW From Céline’s studded mule to Louis Vuitton’s metal-capped ankle boot, a fashion-forward shoe in a milky shade will carry you through the season.

PERFECT WAVES, EVERY DAY Digital Waves, a new in-salon service, transforms straight locks into model off-duty tresses that last three to six months. “It’s a modernday perm that gives you texture without damaging the hair,” says stylist Nunzio Saviano, who offers the treatment at his New York salon. A conditioning chemical solution is applied to the hair, which is then divided into sections, heated, and rolled. (For naturallooking results, Saviano rotates three different-size rollers for tighter and looser waves throughout the hair.) Wait two days before shampooing, then style with Moroccanoil Beach Wave Mousse ($28) or Oribe Matte Waves Texture Lotion ($42). Cost: $350–$500. MUST-TRY TOOL If you’re like us, you probably have an entire bathroom drawer filled with hot tools, each one necessary for creating a specific style. Enter…

THE EXERCISE ENTHUSIAST Hannah Bronfman keeps busy running her health-and-beauty Web site, HBFit, by day and deejaying exclusive parties by night. She keeps fit with daily workouts and home-cooked meals. FOOD PHILOSOPHY: “I love to cook and eat, but when I’m working at night I have a big lunch and protein shakes for breakfast and dinner. I hate going to sleep really full.” BREAKFAST: “My morning ritual is matcha with gelatin (it adds protein) that I make in my Vitamix. My breakfast varies between protein shakes, eggs with avocado, and homemade coconut yogurt. On Saturdays I go to brunch at Jeepney Filipino Gastropub for purple yam pancakes and sausage.” LUNCH: “An Asian-style salad with cabbage or a kale salad with hard-boiled eggs, tomato, avocado, and tuna. I live and work…

L iya Kebede has been modeling for more than 20 years, but she had never before sat for an artist. It was a particular thrill to sit for Clemente. “I didn’t know his work specifically, but when I found out that he had painted the portrait of Gwyneth Paltrow in [the 1998 film] Great Expectations, I was so excited,” she says. “I remember when I watched that movie, the portrait really touched me. I don’t know why. Then to suddenly see my portrait done in the same way, it meant a lot to me.” It seems ironic that Kebede, 38, has never been painted, given her precise, delicate features. “The relationship with a painter is so different,” she explains. “He’s so focused on you, and you’re always wondering, ‘What could…

Fit for McQueen. Gown, Alexander McQueen. Rings, Tiffany & Co. FASHION EDITOR: Julia von Boehm “I had somebody say to me, ‘Women these days in their 40s look pretty good!’ I mean, who says that?” Jennifer Aniston’s home, on a Los Angeles hilltop, could be intimidating if Jennifer Aniston didn’t live in it. An impassive white stucco frontage houses a large wooden door, which opens to reveal Aniston in aviator reading glasses and workout clothes and surrounded by three excitable dogs of different size and flavor. Aniston, blonder than her honeyed usual, heads to the kitchen–cum–TV room and puts on some tea. “How’s life?” I ask, hazarding a guess that life for Aniston—who married longtime boyfriend Justin Theroux last summer—is not too shabby. “Married life is so normal and fun…

“I was never interested in being a rock star,” said David Bowie in a 2002 profile in Harper’s Bazaar. “I’ve always seen music as a way of exploring things I’m interested in: Kabuki, the avant-garde—whatever takes my fancy.” Indeed, Bowie—who passed away in January, just two days after releasing what would become his final album, Blackstar—will be remembered as much more than a rock star, or even a musician. He was an unstoppable cultural force, one that refused categorization as he merged music, visual art, and fashion into high-concept theater. From his flamboyant onstage personae Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke to his work as an actor, painter, and composer, Bowie never stopped experimenting with new modes of expression—even in his later years, as he became more private and…

500 pieces of art 3 tattoos 1 white-wine spritzer 8:00 A.M. Goga Ashkenazi, the 36-year-old Kazakh oil oligarch turned owner and creative director of Vionnet, awakes in her 19th-century palazzo in Milan, which she rents from an adorable marquesa who lives on the top floor. Five foot 10, with thick black hair piled on her head, Goga descends the twisting Gio Ponti staircase to the gym she installed in the basement for some Pilates. “That’s the only way to make exercise doable,” she says in her lightly accented English, the result of a British boarding-school education. “I’d never get round to it otherwise.” 8:30 A.M. Goga showers. Afterward she sits in her dining room surrounded by works by Picasso and Marc Quinn (there’s a Tracey Emin neon sign and a…

THE BEST NEW JEANS CUTTING EDGE Ever since the German label Vetements showed its must-have denim for Spring 2015 with frayed, uneven hems, It girls everywhere have taken a liking to the statement style. Let your legs do the talking and wear them with classic accessories like black stilettos and gold jewelry, à la Pernille Teisbaek.

BATIK DRESS PATTERN PLAY For their spring runway show, Valentino designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli turned their focus to Africa, finding inspiration in textiles and embroideries that appeared on everything from mini sheaths to ankle-grazing evening gowns. All of the looks were grounded with statement accessories and gladiator sandals. HOW TO WEAR IT ALL-NATURAL Contrast a delicate, billowy outfit with woodand-metal jewelry.

A great meal is only as good as its ingredients. And a great look is only as good as the materials it’s made from. Just as farm-to-table is changing the way we think about our food and where it comes from, farm-to-closet will change the way we think about clothing. Because clothes are an agricultural act. It’s perhaps an odd way to think about garments, but true when they’re made from natural fi bers. Th at’s why we’re driven to fi nd the best ingredients with the least possible impact. And why this season our key ingredient is organic linen. We use fl ax grown by farmers who rely on age-old practices and modern insights to control weeds and pests naturally. It’s harder than spraying a fi eld with synthetic…

1 HYDRATING CLEANSERS Oil molecules in Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water ($8.99) lift makeup with the swipe of a cotton pad, says New York dermatologist Patricia Wexler. For dry skin, try Laneige Fresh Brightening Cleansing Oil ($35). 2 ULTIMATE MULTITASKERS “The most crucial anti-ager is SPF,” insists San Diego dermatologist Melanie Palm. Shave time off your morning routine by using a base with flaw fighters and SPF added in. For full coverage with potent green-tea extracts, pat on AmorePacific’s creamy foundation. La Prairie’s light tint has skin-protective algae and botanical extracts. 3 PERK UP EYES “Your eyes are the greatest focus on your face, making them the smartest investment,” says Palm. Caffeine in Clinique’s cream and Peter Thomas Roth’s patches helps relieve puffiness, while deep moisturizers like shea butter in…

She’s been adept at hiding it, but Christy Turlington suffers from a terrible affliction: a “gimpy” eye. She’s soldiered on despite this impediment—achieving 30 years of supermodel-dom, plus a second, even more super life as a global maternal health advocate. “Someone once said I have a symmetrical face,” she says. “I do not have a symmetrical face. Almost nobody does. But, yeah, I have a gimpy eye. One eye that’s round and one that’s more slanty.” She laughs. “I’m sure it’s a sign of intelligence.” She adds, “In a photo session, people try to balance my eyes with light.” But not Clemente. In her portrait, “one eye was as it is in life, which I love. I can see a lot of things that are me.” That said, “he added…

AT FIRST GLANCE, it may appear that the chapter on “age-appropriate” dressing has finally closed. You’ve seen nonagenarian Iris Apfel rocking crazy shots of color, Joan Didion and Miley Cyrus working nearly identical skinny black sweaters, Helen Mirren’s pink-tinted hair, and Zosia Mamet’s dyed-gray tresses and assumed that the old rules haven’t so much been rewritten as rubbed out entirely. Well, yes and no. In 2016, dressing your age is more often about self-knowledge and nuance than dogma and restrictions. It’s a question of recognizing when quirky becomes freaky, playful topples into cutesy, and vintage-y eclecticism veers into bag-lady territory. Above all, it’s highly personal. Kate Moss can wear hot pants into her 40s, while 19-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz seems more at home in prim classics. What reads as elegantly…

T he Spring 2016 couture season had something for everyone. At Armani Privé, purple reigned supreme in the form of billowy dresses and delicate ruffles. Valentino’s Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli sent out a dreamy, Fortunyinspired collection with romantic, floor-grazing gowns and gilded accents that will leave a lasting impression. At Maison Margiela, John Galliano offered a range of collaged looks that pieced together elements of shirting with masterful pleating. And for Donatella Versace, skin was in, as sexy cutout dresses with Swarovskicrystal-covered cords hugged the figures of models Natasha Poly, Joan Smalls, and Mariacarla Boscono. Some like it haute. PERFECT 10 To celebrate a decade in the business, jewelry designer Jennifer Fisher is branching out with a new capsule selection of colorful enamel rings and pendants. CASHIN’S FASHIONS…

A LONGTIME BACKSTAGE WEAPON for makeup artists, color correctors come in candy-like shades designed to cancel out discoloration and blemishes of their opposing hues. (Hint: Revisit the old color wheel.) The result is an even canvas pre-foundation. “I consider them my real-life Instagram filters,” says Gilbert Soliz, global makeup artist for Marc Jacobs Beauty. “Even though it’s an added product, you end up needing less makeup on your face.” To maximize the effects, let correctors dry for one to two minutes, then apply foundation or concealer on top by patting or “stippling” with a sponge. GREEN Neutralize red pimples or ruddy patches. Use a thicker formula for spots and a cream or serum for wider areas. LAVENDER Sallow skin becomes luminous thanks to purple tones. “I like to apply lavender…

Anna Ewers, 23, is being demographically appropriate: She’s on the phone while playing ping-pong in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg, the spiritual home of 23-year-old models. “I’m playing ping-pong for my workout,” she says jokingly. The Germanborn model adds, very Germanically, “I was playing yesterday for two hours. And today I’m playing for another two hours!” It’s actually some rare time spent at home for Ewers, who in the first three weeks of the year has already logged work trips to Mexico, Barbados, and Los Angeles. Ewers’s moment, launched by Alexander Wang in his Spring 2014 show, has displayed no sign of ebbing. Besides more than 100 editorials and magazine covers, she is a face of Wang, Balenciaga, and Boss, transforming from Teutonic minimalist to a comely Bardot with a sweep of eye…

Linda Evangelista is describing the images she has of herself—among other things—on the walls of her New York apartment. “Pulling my cheeks from Steven [Meisel], crying from Peter [Lindbergh], whistling from David [Sims], the corset…” Of course, even with the briefest description, you can see each and every picture. Evangelista is, after all, the supermodel’s model. She wrote the book on chameleonic glamour (sadly, not yet literally, much to the chagrin of Linda obsessives everywhere). But while she has posed for the lexicon of photographers, illustrators, magazines, and campaigns over a legendary 35-year career, Evangelista had never sat for a painter. It’s funny to hear the superest of supers say she was “nervous. I kept saying to myself, ‘Linda, he wouldn’t have accepted to do this if he didn’t like…

HOLLYWOOD’S JUICING CROWD has a new obsession. Infrared saunas—which are said to detox the body using heat-generating invisible light— have made fans out of Gwyneth Paltrow, Miranda Kerr, and Cindy Crawford, and many A-listers have custom saunas in their homes. Frank Lipman, the New York integrative medicine doctor to Maggie Gyllenhaal and Donna Karan, encourages patients to partake in infrared to help clear toxins, and he raves about his personal Clearlight sauna. “My muscles relax, I sleep better, and I just feel calm and energized,” says Lipman. Meanwhile, infrared-dedicated spas, like Shape House Urban Sweat Lodge and Perspire Sauna Studio, and infraredheated yoga studios, like Y7 and POE Yoga, are popping up across the U.S. But though some believe that infrared light therapy is a cure-all—studies indicate that it may…

1 CLEANSING IS CRUCIAL “Every day, our skin is exposed to toxins in the form of pollution that generate free radicals, which can break down collagen,” explains Elizabeth Hale, a New York dermatologist. That’s why rinsing away the day’s dirt is an important step to prevent wrinkles and sagging. Plus, a clean canvas allows ingredients in your other products to seep in easily. “Be careful to pick a cleanser that won’t strip or dry out skin,” adds Hale. EXPERT TIP Post-cleansing—while your skin is still warm and damp—is the best time to apply a serum, advises Hale. In general, serums contain the highest concentration of active ingredients, and slathering one on while skin is moist means they’re penetrating even further. 2 DON’T SKIP SPF For day, choose a moisturizer with…
