ELLE July 2014의 목차

Tuesday, July 1 MAKE-OUT PARTY Blow Me a Kiss explores the power of lips to seduce and inspire, with more than 80 glossy images by artists such as Cindy Sherman and Mario Sorrenti. The provocative pouts of Mick Jagger and Cindy Crawford are just a couple of the famous mouths on display. Sunday, July 13 CARNAL SCIENCE Showtime's cerebral-yet-titillating drama Masters of Sex, about two pioneers in the study of human sexuality, gets busy for a second season, this time with Sarah Silverman added to the already stellar cast. Tuesday, July 15 CHICK-A-BILLY Norah Jones diehards have been catching Jones live with Sasha Dobson and Catherine Popper as Puss n Boots since 2008. Now the trio bring their powerful pipes and honeyed harmonies to their debut album, No Fools, No…

For ELLE's annual Women in Music Issue (May 2014), we couldn't think of a more dynamic, debated, provocative artist for our cover than the ever-mutable, social-media-exploding Miley Cyrus, who coined the hashtag #ElleYeah in her tweet about the shoot. And who better to interview the star than the journalistic teen-queen herself, blogger-cum-editor-cum-actress-cum-Broadway-star Tavi Gevinson? No one, according to our readers: Celebrity journalists typically mystify their subjects, building up the hype that surrounds them, but Gevinson is too close to Cyrus in age and has too much integrity to treat the pop star as anything other than an ordinary girl living an unusual life. —Nika Mavrody, The Fashion Spot Miley's interview in @ELLEmagazine might be my favorite yet. Love that her interviewer was around the same age. It felt so real.…

CAN I BE FAMOUS TOO? Rebecca Harrington attempts a deep dive into the shallow waters of Insta-celebrity Be honest: When you read about people like Jen Selter—the social-media fitness queen who amassed nearly 3 million Instagram followers just by posting pictures of her own shapely derriere, which led to a deal to create her own line of workout equipment, which led to her being dubbed "the next Jillian Michaels"—does even a tiny part of you think, What's the big deal? I could do that! And when you saw Michelle Phan's recent barrage of commercials for YouTube, did you not, even for a second, pause from trying to calculate exactly what a gig like that might pay—let's see…a 60-second spot, prime-time TV, three times an hour—and say to yourself: Wait, I…

"So many people we've interviewed have told us their lowest-maintenance day is lipstick and sunglasses," says Nick Axelrod, a former ELLE editor and now editorial director of Into the Gloss, the beauty-blog phenomenon that reveals the medicine-cabinet contents and makeup routines of fashion-industry insiders. He's explaining the inspiration for a new Warby Parker x Into the Gloss capsule collection of aviators. "We talk about makeup as an accessory and beauty as part of style, so why shouldn't eyewear be a part of that conversation?" asks his bestie, Emily Weiss, the site's founder and creative director. Teaming up with buy-one-give-one eyewear brand Warby Parker, Weiss and Axelrod sought to create the Platonic ideal of sunglasses: universally flattering frames that cover undereye circles and, like a signature ring or bracelet, go with…

When Angelina Jolie was searching for an actor to play Louis Zamperini in her much-anticipated biopic, Unbroken, the director needed to cast "a fighter." Zamperini, an Olympic runner and World War II bombardier, crashed over the Pacific in 1943 and survived 47 days at sea, only to be captured and interred by the Japanese until the war's end. "With the wrong actor, you couldn't watch him suffer because it would be too painful," she says. "With the right actor, you watch him go through his trials, you see that fire, and you root for him." Watch Starred Up, the acclaimed British indie hitting U.S. theaters next month, and you'll see why Jolie found her fighter in 23-year-old Jack O'Connell. As a rage-filled juvenile prisoner transferred to the same adult correctional…

[FICTION] A FATEFUL FRIENDSHIP From girlhood to all grown up, a stiletto-sharp coming-of-age novel By Lisa Shea Rufi Thorpe's The Girls From Corona del Mar (Knopf) is a knockout of a debut novel about the friendship of shrewd, headstrong Mia, who narrates, and good-hearted Lorrie Ann. They come of age in the 1990s in the California beach town of the book's title—a "distinctly unreal" place where "many fathers were now stay-at-home dads whose time was divided equally between the bottle and the couch, an ice pack over their eyes, as their wives scrambled to become certified dental hygienists." Pugnacious, risk-taking Mia, a child of divorce, grows up envious of Lorrie Ann, with her intact family and her elegant, upturned nose. Then in their junior year of high school, everything changes…

THE SOOTHE OPERATOR: MANUKA HONEY ONLINE BUZZ: Fans of this monofloral New Zealand honey say it's the ticket to calming angry skin: They slather it on as a mask or apply it directly to zap particularly difficult blemishes. DOCTORS' ORDERS: It's legit—manuka honey contains clinically proven antibacterial agents (among them an enzyme that releases hydrogen peroxide), and wound-care centers use medical-grade versions. Dermatologist Ellen Marmur, MD, recommends it as a targeted approach for perioral acne because it moisturizes and exfoliates instead of exacerbating flakiness; dermatologist Noëlle Sherber, MD, suggests it for stubborn, workout-related acne, the kind avid bikers might get around the helmet line, because it dissolves biofilm bacteria. Think of the ratings system the way you think of SPF: Look for a unique manuka factor (UMF) of 10 or…

Alex Brownsell, Bleach London's cofounder, has just finished building a loom for hair. "I'm really into embroidered hair at the moment," she says. "Sort of like what kids get at the beach, but chic." Hair tapestries might sound far-fetched, but so did purple hair on the red carpet before Brownsell came along. Her colorful takeover began in her mother's kitchen sink and quickly expanded to a stand-alone salon, Bleach London, and a future outpost in New York City. The 26-year-old counts Florence Welch, Lily Allen, Sky Ferreira, and M.I.A. as clients, and her influence can be seen everywhere from Glastonbury to the Golden Globes. Can anyone go green or blue or pink, or do certain shades work better on certain people? Remember when the Avon lady used to come round…

Emily Gould has delicate, narrow feet and calves, highlighted today by opaque burgundy cotton knee-highs of a lace floral pattern that reveal pinpricks of tawny skin. The personification of the name Emily, in sock form. On the other end of these elegant flippers, resting on the rug of her Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, apartment, are broad, strong suburban-high-school-swim-team shoulders, covered in her trademark lush poppy tattoos. The overall effect is an intriguing, inviting confluence of forthright confidence and demure femininity. It's also destabilizing, in the way that anything broad balancing on something narrow suggests an inherent vulnerability. And Gould is carrying a great weight on those lithe feet and sturdy shoulders, as are her soon-to-be-published first novel, Friendship (Farrar, Straus and Giroux; out this month), and the fledgling book company, Emily Books,…

POST MODERN "Why do airlines always seem to panic when the flight is full? Isn't that your goal? Why are you so unprepared for your goal??" That's just one of the tweets that the apparently omnicapable Anna Kendrick has, as she tells writer Molly Langmuir, used to "get my sense of humor out into the world"—something we can all be grateful for. Plenty of you ELLE readers have used Instagram to get your personal style out into the world, and this month we flip that script, asking ELLE's favorite (professional) photographers and stylists to send us fashion images captured in the ultrademocratic Instagram mode. And, like Kendrick, we're always on the lookout for answers to life's questions, great and small. For instance, in these pages: What color will be the…

How does she do it? Proving that innate elegance and believable beauty—inner and outer—never go out of fashion, Christy Turlington Burns has been the face of not just a generation, but of several. Now she's returning to her roots with the fragrance that made her a cultural touchstone For most of us, Christy Turlington Burns is as familiar as a relative, even if she has existed in only one dimension—i.e., that Mount Olympus of billboards and magazine pages where supermodels live. So when seeing her in the round, as it were, crossing a Manhattan photo studio, green juice in hand, it's a thrill to find that she's also graceful, gracious, and quick to laugh—her beauty at 45 in no way diminished. Those gooseberry-green eyes and geometric cheekbones still gobsmack at…

CANCER THIS MONTH FOR CANCER: (JUNE 22–JULY 22) You've ruled the zodiac as Jupiter's favorite since June 2013, but you may not yet be able to see how pivotal these months have been. Make the most of your good fortune before Jupiter moves out of your sign and into Leo on the 16th. That shift will begin a phase focused on financial gain stemming from projects already in motion. Now that Mercury has turned direct, you can cross off any related to-do items; the 24th and the 26th will be glittering days to take concrete next steps. In other good news, the pressure of a domestic matter will subside as Mars heads into Scorpio—and your fifth house of true love—on the 25th. As a bonus, magnetic Venus will tour your…

I'm far from naive when it comes to social media, but I'm enough of a neophyte to have had a few trigger-happy misfires that have made me gun-shy when it comes to tweeting and posting. My worst "social" offense was when I tweeted that a big-name designer had been fired when he hadn't. So when I heard that Diane von Furstenberg was launching a line of glasses with Google Glass this month, I decided I could use a little of her take-no-prisoners bravado and decamped to her offices for a little reprogramming. By now, the sight of von Furstenberg in Google's cyborg eyewear is nothing new—she was the first fashionista to embrace Google Glass when she sent models down the runway wearing them in September 2012. She was also an…

[REVIEW] A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS Clint Eastwood repurposes Jersey Boys, a brassy Broadway songfest, as a sophisticated human drama that plays out underneath a joyous, winning soundtrack. By Karen Durbin At 84, Clint Eastwood has long been among Hollywood's greats, but he shines ever more brightly as a director. With 92 nominations and 139 awards (four Oscars and God knows what all else), he can do anything, and he pretty much does. World War II from the Japanese perspective? Check. What happens after we die? Check. The vindictive right-wing FBI head who was also secretly gay? Yep. And don't forget the impeccably moral gunslinger's mea culpa, Unforgiven, and the ecstatic, heartbroken middle-aged lovers (Eastwood and Meryl Streep) in The Bridges of Madison County. So what on earth comes next?…

A moving, masterly depiction of one woman's tentative path toward a midlife transformation "When a person is changing, as I am, at what point are they no longer who they were?" Frankie Rowley's father asks her one afternoon. For Alfie, the question posed is especially disturbing—the former professor's polymath mind is deteriorating rapidly—but it's one that often shadows Sue Miller's novels. What in our life defines us? Defunct marriages and wanderlust play central roles, whether viewed through the eyes of a philandering politician's spouse in The Senator's Wife (2008) or a conflicted parent in The Good Mother (1986), and Miller's latest novel, The Arsonist (Knopf), is no exception as the Rowley family navigates a tense summer in a small New Hampshire town. Frankie, who has spent the past 15 years…

Long before Coachella lured legions of caftan-clad music lovers to its environs, Palm Springs, California, was a hot spot for high-class hedonism: In the 1950s, legend has it, Frank Sinatra would hoist a Jack Daniel's flag outside his estate to alert neighbors Cary Grant and Jack Benny that cocktails were being served at his famous piano-shaped pool; the owners of L'Horizon hotel—a midcentury-modern marvel where Marilyn Monroe once caused a stir by showering alfresco—were known for throwing three-day-long parties in which guests were whisked by private jet from Palm Springs to San Diego's Kona Kai Club, with a stop for dinner in Disneyland. Photos of the town in its heyday are resplendent with swimsuit-clad beauties and tuxedoed crooners—all of them rendered even more glamorous by the desert's preternaturally luminous light,…

Tinder is to the twenty-first century what the Pill was to the twentieth. A friend just shared that pearl with me, and while it may be an exaggeration, there is no doubt that the app makes all manner of intercourse easier, and perhaps a little safer. The app works by presenting you with Facebook-sourced snapshots of one man (or woman) after another—all located somewhere in your vicinity—and if one of your chosen chooses you, it's a match! That happens more than 10,000,000 times a day, according to the company, and it's then that the texting can begin. (As for the sort-of-safe part, Tinder shows you which Facebook friends, if any, you share with a guy.) The reasons why women use the app, and the types of relationships that develop out…

"Security Princess" is Parisa Tabriz's official title at Google. Seriously. And yes, you can google that. " 'Information Security Engineer' is just completely dry and boring and horrible," she says of the HR-speak title, which indeed whitewashes what Tabriz does all day, which is to hack her employer—the single most recognizable entity of the Internet age—bad-guy-in-basement style. She came up with the moniker before a trip to Japan because she needed business cards to hand out during the elaborate professional introductions traditional in that country. "A couple of people had 'hired hacker,' " she says. "But I like to one-up people. I thought it was cute." Cute, sure, but it's also because Parisa Tabriz doesn't much care what you think about her. Not in a screw-the-man kind of way—she's too…

"Okay, je t'embrasse," Jeremy Scott coos into his phone; despite having spent six years in Paris, the designer speaks French with an unmistakable Missouri accent. He is talking to stylist Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, a frequent collaborator, about the Miley Cyrus concert they're planning to attend. (Scott did costumes for Cyrus' Bangerz tour.) To say you can't miss him is an understatement: He's wearing an orange star-print baseball cap turned sideways, a bleached-out jean jacket, an array of necklaces—including one with a mini Moschino bag as a pendant—and a bag, also by Moschino, that is styled to look like a biker jacket, complete with vestigial sleeves. It seems fitting that Scott serves as a human billboard for the brand. When he was named creative director of Moschino in October 2013,…

In the past year, 23-year-old singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran went from opening for Taylor Swift to selling out Madison Square Garden in his own right—a meteoric rise propelled in part by his 9.4 million Twitter followers. Dude's got friends in high places, too. Jamie Foxx let Sheeran crash on his couch on an early trip to the States. Swift invited him over to jump on her trampoline and write music. And while tunes like Sheeran's "Lego House" have tended toward the sentimental, his latest album, X (pronounced "multiply"), finds the redheaded Brit maturing into an ax-wielding writer of confessional dance pop. In the track "Don't," which recounts a girlfriend cheating on him with one of his mates ("I never saw him as a threat/ Till you disappeared with him to have…

THE NEW SOCIALITES Anna Kendrick is funny. She's funny in the movies—exchanging rapid-fire banter with George Clooney in her Oscar-nominated turn in Up in the Air and singing naked in the shower in the nearly perfect Pitch Perfect (based on the book by ELLE's own columnist Mickey Rapkin). Kendrick is funny on Saturday Night Live, expertly sending up Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg's classic "Dick in a Box" with her "Dongs All Over the World" music video, and she's really funny on Twitter, entertaining her some 2.4 million followers with wry observations and friendly banter. ("I think how I feel about auto-tune is how girls who actually work out probably feel about Spanx.") Kendrick is also beautiful and smart, and, yes, has a great voice ("Cups" sat on the Billboard…

THE EARLY ADOPTER Padmasree Warrior, Chief Technology & Strategy Officer, Cisco In grad school at Cornell, Padmasree Warrior found herself waiting around for a friend at a career fair. To kill time, she filled out an application for a job at Motorola. The rest of her career has been far more intentional. She steadily climbed the Motorola ranks to CTO and made the leap to Cisco seven years ago. It's her job to identify companies the tech giant should acquire and technologies it should invest in—she's the reason Cisco was at the forefront of cloud computing. But Warrior's influence extends far beyond the company's 75,000-plus employees: She has 1.46 million Twitter followers (more than just about any of her fellow tech execs), and her feed is peppered with nail-art selfies…

PICTURE-PERFECT Standing out from the sea of food pics and outfits of the day on Instagram, Estée Lauder executive Donald Robertson, aka @donalddrawbertson, has been garnering praise with his slightly irreverent illustrations—he paid homage to Lupita Nyong'o's red-carpet looks with a rainbow of gaffer tape. Collage artist @kalen_hollomon is in on the joke too, transposing vintage fashion photography around town—a young Janice Dickinson riding the 6 train? If archival fashion images are your thing, @zanzanman is not to be missed. The London-based eyewear designer's prolific feed boasts nearly 7,000 iconic images.

NAMES: Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta AGE: Both 26 PROVENANCE: Chappaqua, New York, and Santa Cruz, California CURRICULA VITAE: The design duo, who craft colorful layering pieces from such unconventional materials as military surplus blankets and mohair velvet upholstery, never studied fashion. They met at Rhode Island School of Design, where Eckhaus got his BFA in sculpture and Latta earned hers in textiles. But fashion found them anyway: After graduating in 2010, the friends moved to Manhattan, where Eckhaus took a job in Marc by Marc Jacobs' accessories division and Latta worked for a textile design company making knits and prints for clients including Calvin Klein and Proenza Schouler. INDEPENDENT SPIRIT: "We had the itch to start our own thing," says Eckhaus. So in 2011, he and Latta decided to…

[MUSIC] SARAH SMILE Soulful Canadian songstress Sarah McLachlan, back with a shiny new album of strong, evocative tunes, will be barnstorming across the U.S. this summer By Ben Dickinson "I was writing breakup songs," Sarah McLachlan says by way of explaining why she's been pretty quiet for four years. "I'm like, I don't want to keep writing the same songs. I'm done with that. I want to do something different." That something different is her new record, Shine On (Verve). When last we heard from McLachlan, a three-time Grammy winner who has sold more than 40 million copies of her seven previous albums—including Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (1993) and Surfacing (1997)—she was navigating a notably blue period, surveying on 2010's well-received Laws of Illusion the midlife wreckage of her marriage and…

With her delicate features, magnetic gaze, and praying mantis proportions, 21-year-old Tiana Zarlin was an easy favorite among The Face's supermodel coaches—Naomi Campbell, Anne V, and Lydia Hearst. "I saw something special in her straight away," says Anne V, who encouraged her protégé to ditch heavy eye makeup and push-up bras and adopt the blank-canvas aesthetic that catapulted girls like Daria Werbowy and Liu Wen into the spotlight. But Zarlin says, "The best advice she gave me is that it's okay to look stupid sometimes." Indeed, her favorite challenge was one that had her running—and falling—in stiltlike high heels. "I slipped all the way down a subway escalator the other day, but I didn't break anything. I have a guardian angel." A short cut "filters out the shallow guys who…

The Brooklyn brownstone Day Kornbluth calls home has a lot in common with her office at One Kings Lane, the online house-wares emporium known for flash sales that allow its more than 6 million members to purchase, say, luxe Frette Italian sheets (a steal at $399) or a pair of floating sconces that belonged to Diane Keaton, with a click. In fact, Kornbluth, the vice president of merchandising, sits down to supper and to meetings at twin tables—one at each location. Soon after she joined the start-up's California-based founders, Susan Feldman and Alison Pincus, in 2009, Kornbluth set about establishing an East Coast outpost—and discovered that conference tables are expensive and, well, usually ugly. So, in a move typical of both Kornbluth's innovative sensibility and the company's happy-hunting philosophy, "I…

BOOGIE NIGHTS DEAR E. JEAN: For months I've been consumed with wondering why my live-in boyfriend spends so much time looking at porn. It hurts me. What do these live-webcam girls have that I don't? When I confront him, he always cries (so it becomes all about him and not my hurt feelings) and promises to stop. After one such talk, I came across hundreds of screenshots he'd saved of live-webcam models.
