WHAT DOES LUXURY mean today? I’ve got two small kids, so for me, a night on the sofa in a pair of new pyjamas watching great TV feels like the ultimate treat. If you’re the same, you’ll enjoy our piece on JOMO dressing (p32) and an insight into the new series of The Crown (p30). But I also believe we’re lucky to be living in an era where we have the luxury of having our voices heard. On p72, we meet nine people who’ve spent 2019 working to change your world, including our supermodel cover star Arizona Muse, who’s finally getting the fashion industry to wake up to the challenge of sustainability. I hope you’ll find them as inspiring as we did… @hattie_brett / feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk…

Permission to fail? We’ll take that “Good news! Scientists say the key to success is to fail 15% of the time. That means we can afford to have one off-day a week and still be on track for world domination… potentially. The research, led by the University of Arizona, found that getting things right 85% of the time was the perfect amount for fast learning – where things aren’t so hard we give up, but aren’t so easy they get boring. So, if you’ve missed out on a promotion, crashed on your driving test or bankrupted yourself on a winter wardrobe (hopefully not all three on the same day) then give yourself a pat on the back – you might have just unlocked a load of potential.”…

REBEKAH VARDY, BREATHE a sigh of relief. The era of WAGatha Christie, Coleen Rooney’s reign as the queen of internet tea, is over. The new figure accused of shady dealings against her so-called friends? It’s… Mother of Daughters’ account. And if anything, the tale is more bizarre. Last week, a series of Instagram ‘mumfluencers’ told their followers they’d been phoned (yes, old-fashioned, but it doesn’t leave a paper trail) by a fellow influencer, who confessed to them she’d been posting anonymous – and sometimes negative – comments about them on gossipy message board Tattle.Life under a pseudonym (Alice in Wanderlust). While the women all refused to reveal the true identity of ‘Alice’, online sleuths pointed to Clemmie Hooper, AKA@mother_of_daughters. Apparently, in addition to similarities in wording, they had noticed that…

Isobel Waller-Bridge Phoebe’s 35-year-old composer sister is the musical mind behind many film and TV productions, including Fleabag series two, and wrote the music for the last Alexander McQueen show. On working with Phoebe, Isobel has said, ‘I can’t tell you how much fun it is to work with your best mate.’ Vicky Jones An acclaimed director and writer, Vicky has been with Fleabag since the beginning, supporting Phoebe throughout its development. ‘It would not exist without her,’ Phoebe says. Cara Delevingne A recent addition to the set, Cara last month revealed that nights out with Phoebe can get rowdy. ‘Last week, we peed on the lawn outside McDonald’s. It was hysterical,’ she laughs. Martin McDonagh Phoebe’s boyfriend of a year is the Oscar-winning writer/director of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing,…

ANYONE WHO GREW UP in a large family will recognise that struggle for attention that comes with being the youngest. There’s a constant, friendly hustle for the limelight and you learn to shout louder so your voice can be heard. Growing up, I was desperate for the approval of my four elder siblings and, when I discovered acting, I thought it would get me all the approval and attention I would ever need. But my eldest brother is Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay – and when he became world famous, I realised I would need to work a little harder if I wanted people to see me as more than just his little sister. Now, I’ve written a play called Superstar. It’s about growing up trying to impress my…

PHOTOGRAPHS ALEX BRAMALL STYLING NATALIE WANSBROUGH-JONES This was the year that people ‘woke up’ and activism went mainstream, calling out racism, lack of sustainability and exploitation in the fashion industry. The calls for change have not always been welcomed but, says Afua Hirsch, the power is now in your hands A’ WAS FOR ‘Apple’ when I was a child. Thirty years later, my daughter’s learn-to-read book taught her that ‘A’ is for ‘Activism’. Words tell us so much about how the world is changing and although activism is not new, it is occupying new spaces – from the classroom to the boardroom, coffee shops as well as catwalks. And 2019 is the year that activism went truly mainstream. This is both a symptom and cause of our changing world. ‘Our…

ORSOLA WEARS: JEANS, £428, ZERO MARIA CORNEJO.MUNROE WEARS: TRENCH, £4,600, VALENTINO ‘‘I THINK I WAS born an activist,’ says Orsola de Castro, co-founder of Fashion Revolution, the global environmentalism movement she established with Carry Somers after the Rana Plaza tragedy in 2013, which killed more than 1,130 garment workers. With Fashion Revolution, Orsola works to make the industry more transparent. It employs the hashtag #Who Made My Clothes. ‘It’s a simple question no one can answer,’ she says. ‘It’s so important to study labels. Would you buy a yogurt without knowing when it goes off ? No. So why buy a piece of clothing without knowing if it’s cotton or polyester?’ For Orsola, loving fashion while hating some of its murkier machinations isn’t an oxymoron; Fashion Revolution’s ‘pro-fashion’ approach doesn’t…

SHARMAINE WEARS: COAT, £1,195, SACAI; DRESS, KALITAAVAILABLE TO RENT FROM MYWARDROBEHQ.COM.SOPHIE WEARS: SHIRT, £300, KATHARINE HAMNETT ‘MAKING PEOPLE confront their biases is one of the biggest things that we can do as activists.’ So says Sharmaine Lovegrove, who is creating a more inclusive publishing industry through her imprint, Dialogue Books. After years of running her own business – a bookshop in Berlin and a company that found books for film and TV adaptation, she realised different people’s voices were not being heard through books. So she founded a publishing imprint dedicated to publishing people from LGBTQI+, disability, working-class and Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds. ‘It was never my dream to be a publisher, but it became clear that something needed to change,’ she says. ‘I think that when…

RICHARD MALONE dresses a coterie of indisputably innovative women – architects, writers, Björk – but the one who’s inspired him the most is perhaps his late grandmother, Nellie. His S/S ’20 collection was a touching tribute to the ‘totally forward-thinking, quite radical’ woman he grew up next door to near Wexford, Ireland. You can see her influence in his socially conscious attitude – Richard has become one of sustainable fashion’s most powerful voices. Last year, ahead of the Irish referendum to repeal the Eighth Amendment, which effectively banned abortion, Richard would head home to Ireland every couple of weeks to campaign with Nellie, going from door to door and speaking to people. ‘It was quite hard-core but those conversations are really important. Just opening the dialogue changes people’s perceptions so…

Is it still worth buying a watch in this age of smartphones? It’s tempting to think your one-stop Apple watch can deliver it all. But an investment watch does more than just stop you being late. Laurent Feniou, managing director of Cartier, points out that a watch marries innovation with beauty. ‘Our Panthère de Cartier watch-cuff, for example, is both a watch and a piece of jewellery.’ How do day watches differ from evening watches? From a design point of view, anything goes during the day, but at night things become a little more elevated, with precious metals and stones. ‘The most evening of all timepieces is the secret watch,’ says Beth Hannaway, head of fine watches and fine jewellery at Harrods. ‘These masquerade as a bracelet, hiding a small…

PHOTO: GIANANDREA TRAINA. FOOD STYLING: NENAFOSTER (NENAFOSTERFOOD.COM) WHEN GRAZIA ASKED me to provide them with a luxury snack I thought instinctively of a particular advertising trope of yesteryear: Elegant Woman Reclining In Bubble Bath With Smooth Leg. These were ads for corner shop chocolate bars – Flakes, Galaxy and so on. What did it mean? At the end of a tough day being beaten down by the patriarchy, a woman (providing her leg is slender and smooth enough, providing her lipstick is intact) may run herself a hot bath and ‘indulge’ in a 30p snack. I can’t argue that chocolate does not equal luxury; all I can say is that my husband, brothers and dad like chocolate just as much as I do. So, OK, chocolate, but what else? I…

GOOD TO KNOW I read with great interest ‘I’m glad I was diagnosed with ADHD’ (28 Oct). As a society, we are becoming more aware of neurological conditions and have a greater understanding that each individual experiences the world in their own unique way. Getting a diagnosis can be a shock, but also give context to past misunderstandings and help us to move forward. I have had experience of this in my own family recently. Yet again, Grazia is ahead of the wave, and not just in style. Maria Kenny WE DO MIND THE GAP! Bravo! I just read Helen O’Hara’s article on the 20+ year age gap between the awesome Jodie Comer and her on-screen husband in the up and coming film The Last Duel (Jodie’s big new role:…

PHOTOS: GETTY. *REPORT A REPORT PUBLISHED last week established that one in five young British women are in debt ‘all the time’, and nearly 40% struggle to make wages last until the end of the month* . This made me feel young, and not in a good way. Recently, I realised – for the first time in a long time – I wasn’t making enough money. I’d done my VAT return (the worst thing about being a freelance writer is not the deadlines, or the pressure, the staring at a blank screen with no idea how to fill it; it’s not the creative risks, the public vulnerabilities… it’s the admin), which meant I’d spent quality time with my bank statements. Which was how I realised – for various reasons, none…

PARTY SEASON HAS LIFT-OFF. Meaning, you could be out every night now until 1 January – if you wanted. But, really, why would you? The allure of staying in has become irresistibly tantalising, thanks to the unstoppable ascent of app culture (peak convenience) and the cultural flex of streaming services. Why would you tolerate tedious small talk during a night out when you could be at home watching The Morning Show on newly launched Apple TV+? Why risk navigating the night bus when you could drift off with an Urban Massage in your bedroom? Why waste time queuing at an overcrowded, overpriced bar when you could have Pasta Evangelists’ fresh truffle butter ravioli delivered not just to your door, but through your letterbox? There has never been a better time…

A curious collision between the early days of internet message-board threads and the current influencer age, Tattle.Life is a website where users gossip about internet celebs. Imagine the snarkiest WhatsApp group you have, then imagine you’re all obsessed with influencers. It came to most people’s attention in September when journalist Sali Hughes exposed criticism she’d received on the site. She alleged, ‘Everything was lie upon lie upon lie to the degree that I wouldn’t know who they were discussing for the most of it, had they not constantly used my name… They discussed my children, criticised my parenting, mocked my marriage and made personal insults about my husband (the kindest and most decent person I know).’ The site, which claims to be a ‘commentary website on public business social media…

YOU MIGHT NOT class yourself as a member of the bourgeoisie, but your wardrobe might have other ideas. What started at Celine via society-girl pussy-bows and haute denim, and Chloé through chain-link chokers and louche trouser suits has now taken over the catwalks. If you need further evidence of the trend’s influence, the personal effects of Lee Radziwill, the younger sister of Jackie Kennedy Onassis, sold for more than $1.26 million at a Christie’s auction last month. Tory Burch’s homage to the socialite, a Lee Radziwill-inspired collection of handbags, has also just launched. The moment has been happening on television too, as The Crown returns to Netflix (the following season will feature the original Sloane Ranger, Princess Diana). This coincides nicely with a new drop of ladylike handbags, including Gucci…

‘GO KILL YOURSELF,’ read the text message from 21-year-old Inyoung You to her boyfriend of 18 months, Alexander Urtula. Then he did. Now Inyoung is accused of bullying Alexander into committing suicide, after police found evidence on his phone of an abusive relationship – which, they say, allowed the young South Korean woman to take total control of his life. Over the course of two months, Inyoung, who met Alexander when they were both students at Boston College in the US state of Massachusetts, is said to have sent more than 47,000 messages, including many urging him to die. Following 22-year-old biology major Alexander’s death in May – on the morning he was due to graduate – Inyoung, who grew up in Washington State, fled to the country of her…

THE AIR INSIDE the Parisian restaurant Chez Flo is electric. In the middle of the room, Naomi Campbell holds court, while across the room British designer Simone Rocha chats with a Vogue editor. At every table in-between, top models (Anna Cleveland, Adesuwa Aighewi, Saskia de Brauw, Iris Law, Alton Mason and more), cult designers (Molly Goddard, Haider Ackermann, Telfar Clemens and Humberto Leon and Carol Lim) and iconic image makers ( Juergen Teller and Craig McDean) mix it up with very important fashion editors and retailers after a long day of runway shows. The mood is jovial, giddy even, much like the man at the centre of it all: Kenneth Ize. ‘I still can’t believe this is happening,’ he says with a bright smile that stretches across the entire width…

ARIZONA MUSE IS browsing the racks of clothing set aside for her cover shoot, pulling out each garment, one by one. ‘What is this made of ?’ she asks, touching the fabric of one dress. ‘Is this recycled?’ she asks of another. They all sit on the spectrum of sustainability. Some pieces, such as a duvet coat by Stella McCartney, are the product of years of work to reduce environmental impact. While others are part of collections by brands who are at the start of the process. Arizona isn’t puritanical. ‘I have clothes in my closet that aren’t sustainable,’ she says while discussing purchases she made before she developed a passion for environmentalism. ‘I’m not getting rid of them because that would also be a waste.’ One blouse, made by…

MUNROE BERGDORF is twirling around in a Valentino floral dress on the Grazia photo shoot, laughing and living her best life. And why shouldn’t she? ‘So much of my work is showing that trans women are normal people. We are multifaceted. I can do Playboy and a Ted Talk. Women are underestimated as a gender, but trans women are especially underestimated,’ she says. The model, who has become a prominent face of the trans rights movement, alongside other global voices such as writer Janet Mock and actress Laverne Cox, has spent the past 10 years of her career speaking out about issues around trans equality, inclusivity and feminism, amassing a social media following of more than 228,000 people in the process, and in turn building a community of engaged change…

SOPHIE WALKER IS on a mission to persuade women who feel disheartened by the scale of an issue they want to change that ‘hope is the most important tool of any activist, because it is the ultimate act of defiance’. She was the founding leader of the Women’s Equality Party and is now chief executive of the Young Women’s Trust (YWT), which supports women on low pay, and believes it’s important to work together for change. She thinks the recent energy and awareness around activism – which research by YWT shows could be a result of young women losing confidence in politicians – should be celebrated. Social media is also to thank for creating movements that are ‘accessible to many more people than can actually physically make it out to…

People doing the same job should get equal pay. But unfortunately in many cases they don’t. And even though it is unlawful, the difference may be justified if your employer can show there is a material reason for it. My boss used this excuse when I was receiving less than a male colleague doing the same job. Just because he spoke Welsh and I couldn’t – but even he admitted he’d never had cause to speak Welsh once in his job. So I am fully behind Samira Ahmed as she leads the fight against pay discrimination. You go get them Samira.…

GUILT-FREE SPLURGING Animal print is always a fashion editor favourite. This season, BOSS heard the call of the wild, collaborating with heritage porcelain brand Meissen for a capsule collection inspired by the ‘big five’. Black-and-white prints of figurines by sculptor Maximilian Hagstotz of a buffalo, rhino, elephant, leopard and lion will adorn cashmere polo necks, silk scarves, blouses, weekend bags and T-shirts, as well as five limited-edition mugs. Plus, to celebrate the capsule collection’s launch, BOSS is donating to the charity Elephants for Africa to support educational programs in Botswana.…

COULD BRITAIN lay claim to a Best Actress Oscar two years in a row? It’s looking increasingly likely. One year after Olivia Colman received the golden statuette, we have a new star on whom to rest our hopes. This month sees the release of historical biopic Harriet – about Harriet Tubman, the American abolitionist who helped around 70 slaves escape through the Underground Railroad in the mid-19th century. It is a powerful film, a classic awards contender, completely anchored by the startling performance of Cynthia Erivo. Hailing from London, she’s been storming stages for years but is now ready to take the lead, on the red carpet and beyond. In the last month alone, she has delivered more wow moments than most A-listers achieve in a year, arriving at a…

IT WAS IN A rural African hut filled with women that David Miliband heard a story that has stayed with him. The former British foreign secretary was on a trip to the Congo, a country long-ravaged by civil war and endemic sexual violence, when he met a group of women training to be community leaders. ‘You think, one bloke going into a meeting of 40 women, how comfortable are they going to be speaking? Are they going to feel they don’t want to reveal details of their families, their trauma?’ admits Miliband, now chief executive of the refugee charity the International Rescue Committee (IRC). But the group’s leader stopped him in his tracks. ‘This woman said, “The IRC explained to me that rape was a word and a word that…

I had a wardrobe of clothes and it felt wrong, so I sneakily gave them some of my dresses. That’s my first memory of having a sense that something wasn’t fair. Since then I’ve spent my life campaigning on a range of issues and rose to prominence when I led the legal challenge against the Government in favour of giving MPs a say over triggering Article 50 – the legal mechanism taking the UK out of the EU. The morning after the referendum vote in 2016 I was distraught; not because…

HOW DID YOU spend your teenage years? Probably not running a campaign to end period poverty, lobbying the Government for free menstrual products or putting on club nights at university, where students dress as tampons and dance under banners that say ‘stop taxing our periods’. But that’s what 19-year old Cambridge student Amika George can add to her CV. In 2017, she started the #FreePeriods movement (with a petition that has garnered 300k signatures) after realising some girls have to skip school because they can’t afford menstrual products. She assumed the Government would do something. It didn’t. The fact it is a gendered topic only infuriated her more. ‘As if the issues that affect us aren’t being acknowledged,’ she says. ‘It was out of that lack of response that I…

The Magic Of Sleep: A Bedside Companion by Michael Acton Smith, out now We spend a third of our lives asleep, making it key for a healthy lifestyle. Poor sleep can contribute to a wide range of health issues, so improving sleep can literally change your life. Journalling is a key mindfulness practice. Tracking sleep and capturing dream content can reduce stress, lessen anxiety and boost the immune system, improving your sleep pattern. Practising yoga at bedtime helps you to relax, slows your heart rate and can tip you into slumber. Listening to the natural rhythm of your breath can lull you into a state of profound relaxation. Sleeping on your back is considered the best sleeping position. While it may be bad for snoring, it keeps your…
