With more than two decades in the industry under her belt, Carolyn Murphy remains a supermodel at the top of her game. Recent runway appearances for the likes of Max Mara and Michael Kors Collection, alongside her enduring relationship with Estée Lauder (nearly 20 years) are testament to her incredible longevity. What does she owe it to? Plain and simple: being nice. “I think kindness is key, even if you’re not feeling that great — fake it ’til you make it,” she tells BAZAAR. This issue, Murphy models sleek tailoring from brands including Prada, Balenciaga and Dries Van Noten. She’s a confessed tomboy, so the looks aren’t a far cry from her personal style, which is pared-back, with a focus on denim, cashmere sweaters and oversized camel coats. GET CAROLYN’S…

IN JUNE, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, a prominent American anti-vaccination activist, posted a photo to Instagram of himself with the actor Jessica Biel. They were seated together at the California State Assembly, lobbying against a state bill that would limit exemptions from vaccinations. Within minutes, social media erupted with fury and vitriol. Jessica Biel the “anti-vaxxer” was trending on Twitter. “There is something so poignantly privileged about rich people lobbying against vaccines when people in third world countries line up for miles just for the chance to get inoculated,” wrote one user. “I wish the 1 per cent would stop spreading disease to the 99 per cent,” wrote another. Biel later clarified that she’s “not against vaccinations”, but, rather, is advocating for families to have “the right to make educated…

How did you develop your eclectic style? I’ve always looked through fashion magazines, ever since I was very little, when I would cut images out of my mother’s magazines and make collages. I don’t know how I developed my look other than always buying and wearing what I love. My style has always been very playful, mixing prints and colours. You wear a lot of vintage. Where do you shop? I go to stores with a curated selection of great vintage and secondhand. In Copenhagen that’s Paloma Vintage, Manulu Vintage and Time’s Up. I also have alerts online on Vestiaire Collective for past-season handbags and other pieces I want. How do you balance playful and chic? I’m attracted to things that stand out, but I never want to look too…

A new crop of workwear brands, teamed with fashion’s return to elegance and tailoring, make corporate dressing a more enticing affair, finds Grace O’Neill The standout collections — Celine, Givenchy, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen and Rick Owens among them — had a common thread: refined and simplified clothing that focused on wearability. Tailoring was front and centre, sombre-hued suiting reigned supreme and statement pieces, such as they were, leaned towards subtle details (a slightly exaggerated shoulder or neatly elongated trousers). The entire season hints at a pared-back future for fashion, one in which street-style peacocking and grabby streetwear are passé, and clothes are made explicitly for the everyday woman. “Oddly, women’s working wardrobes have been neglected by the upper echelons of fashion.” In London, Victoria Beckham and Burberry made the case…

Refine the art of fragrance layering with JO MALONE FRAGRANCE COMBINING PALETTE, $40, which offers 10 signature scents for mixing and matching. Wear them solo or layered until you find your perfect combination. If you’re looking for a subtler scent, bathe with DIPTYQUE TAM DAO PERFUMED SOAP, $35.

Last year, Dior launched a blockbuster fragrance, JOY, as an ode to the pleasures in life, and this year the brand is doubling down on the indulgence with the latest iteration, JOY Intense. The brief to Dior’s master perfumer, François Demachy, was simply “more joy” — and in today’s manic world, that sounds just about right. But the emotion is more than an antidote to too much stress and political unrest, it’s the spirit inherent in the fashion and beauty empire; the frame of mind Christian Dior himself adopted throughout both the hardships and successes in his life. “JOY FLOWS THROUGH THE VEINS OF THE DIOR HOUSE,” Frédéric Bourdelier, the brand’s historian, muses. Looking back through the house’s history, we picked up a few noteworthy mantras from Monsieur Dior, reminding…

YPNOTHERAPY came into my life almost 20 years H ago. At just 66 years old, my very active father was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and given just three months to live. A friend of his was a hypnotherapist and reached out to help during this time. Along with his medical treatment of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, my dad was hypnotised during weekly sessions with the goal to reduce the tumours in his body; the process helped change his mindset and he had a renewed will to live. My dad gained two more years of life and this experience had a profound effect on me. For the first time, I saw the power of the mind: what we believe in our mind can transpire in our bodies. After my father’s passing,…

MELBOURNE CATCH UP ON: Di Stasio Città (distasio.com.au/citta) and Kazuki’s (kazukis.com.au) are both up for new restaurant of the year in Gourmet Traveller’s upcoming Restaurant Awards, so now is a good time to see what the hype is about. In case you missed it, there’s also Scott Pickett’s new Italian place, Lupo, in Collingwood, which replaced the beloved Saint Crispin (luporestaurant.com.au). GET AROUND NOW: Chef-restaurateur Jessi Singh (of Babu Ji in St Kilda) continues his irreverent approach to Australian-Indian cuisine at new restaurant Daughter In Law (daughterinlaw.com.au). LOOK FORWARD TO: Chris Lucas of Chin Chin fame will open his Frenchy bistro and wine bar, Bâtard, on Bourke Street next year. He’s also teaming up with Martin Benn and Vicki Wild (ex-Sepia, Sydney) for a high-end dining venture in the massive…

Madame Clicquot was always destined for legacy. In 1805, she lost her husband, heir to the champagne house Maison Clicquot, just six years into a very modern marriage. This was a time when French women were considered to be minors under the care of men — they weren’t even allowed to have a bank account — but her husband, François Clicquot, treated her as his equal in winemaking. Despite being a widowed single mother at 27, her brave innovations saved her husband’s family’s Champagne house. Not only is she credited with creating the first vintage Champagne and revolutionising rosé (in accordance with her own taste, of course), she also smuggled the House’s precious elixirs to the Russians during a ban on French imports. Adding her name to the label was…

NOW HEADING up a 10-strong design firm responsible for some of the most exciting bricks-and-mortar happenings in the state, Ingrid Richards and Adrian Spence met as architecture undergrads at The University of Queensland. It wouldn’t be until years later that they crossed paths again, at a Sydney Dance Company performance in their home town of Brisbane. Both dance buffs, they later competed in a dancing competition together. “There was a lift. We won,” Spence says. They each practised with large architecture firms for about a decade, before they came together to establish the eponymous firm Richards & Spence in 2008. Having now been partners in both work and life for more than 10 years, they’re highly attuned, creatively. “Nothing leaves the office without our shared endorsement,” Spence says. “If either…

Elizabeth Ayodele Ayodele was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, lives in New York City and has a modelling career that takes her all over the world. “The best thing about my job is the flexibility to embark on anything that interests me,” she says. The 21-year-old was fresh from walking in Miu Miu’s resort 2020 show in Paris when we dressed her in all the Saint Laurent pieces we’re coveting this season (page 158). I look after my body by … “doing Pilates — I picked it up while I was in Sydney. I’m also obsessed with skincare. My absolute favourites are the Sukin Cream Cleanser and the Origins charcoal mask.” So far, my favourite runway moment was … “starting my career with the Fendi [A/W 2017] show, because…

BEAUTY I rely on multitasking products. Oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray works miracles for LIVED-IN, UNDONE HAIR. Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 is intense and amazing, especially paired with Vintner’s Daughter — I’m coveting the much-anticipated second product from them, the Active Treatment Essence. As a fan of the cult Active Botanical Serum, I was eager to try it. My FAVOURITE PERFUME is Le Labo’s Santal 33. TRAVEL As an , a - case key for me. My Calpak in a marble print is lightweight. TULUM, MEXICO, is my destination to unwind, especially after a busy fashion month. And it’s been a dream of mine to go to the wine region in France. STYLE My personal style is constantly evolving and PRETTY ECLECTIC. While I admire women with a ‘uniform’, I’m constantly…

PEAS IN A POD Based in north Italy, contemporary jeweller Anne Manns makes sculptural pieces inspired by a childhood spent tending to gardens in a small German village. Her statement rings and cuffs are made by Berlin goldsmiths and feature pearls that have been delicately placed to resemble pea pods.This year, Net-a-Porter scouted Manns for its Vanguard mentorship program, which celebrates and promotes emerging fashion talent. annemanns.com CANDY CRUSH Cupcakes, gelato and strawberries may seem unlikely sources of inspiration for a watchmaker, but that’s what makes Richard Mille’s Bonbon collection so enticing. The 10-piece line offers new iterations of three of the brand’s iconic models, featuring playful candy-striped faces and bands in pink, yellow and blue. PEARLY QUEENS Fashion’s insatiable obsession with pearls hit fever pitch in 2019, spawning dozens…

IF SALVATORE FERRAGAMO creative director Paul Andrew happened to be meandering down Tokyo’s Omotesando, a boulevard lined with zelkova trees and towering luxury flagships, as I am right this minute, I’m guessing he’d find the scene a tad depressing. The streetwear-ification of luxury has hit this postcard precinct hard, with shop windows filled with chunky dad sneakers, logo-emblazoned hoodies, technical outerwear and oversized everything. Andrew has vented his frustration in past interviews that this isn’t what luxury fashion should be about, and he reiterates that view when we meet a few hours later in an art gallery around the corner to discuss the brand’s A/W 2019 collection. “You could say I’m doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing right now. Yes, clothes have to have ease and wearability,…

CONVENTIONAL (albeit sexist) wisdom dictates that men get better with age, while women — to put it bluntly — don’t. But anyone who subscribes to this theory ought to google ‘Carolyn Murphy 2019’. The American supermodel looks more luminous and delicately beautiful at 45 than she did at 21. It’s a feat of twisted logic that has seen her keep her place as one of the most in-demand models in the industry for almost three decades. Legendary photographer Arthur Elgort explained it succinctly to The Times of London: “Christy and Carolyn get older, they get better.” When Murphy speaks to BAZAAR from Los Angeles, where she is shooting, I ask her how she reacted when she read that quote. “I have goosebumps hearing that,” she says with astonishment. “For me…

Less is MORE FRESH. Natural. Luminous. Perfected. Over and over, the same lovely adjectives rolled off the tongues of the seasoned makeup artists who reigned backstage at the A/W 2019 shows. It’s their consummate challenge each season: to create a look that’s buzzed about for all the right reasons, with just enough modernity to feel relevant and fresh. And this season the message was clear: skin is in. The first show to sound the alarm was Marc Jacobs in New York. This season was a sharp departure into neutral for a designer beloved for his fantastical tendencies (a pastel beehive wig, anyone?). Makeup artist Diane Kendal skipped foundation, prepping skin instead with Jacobs’s new Youthquake moisturising cream (more on that on page 180). A bit of concealer and powder, and…

Imagine, for a moment, the gems that would go viral had Diana Vreeland lived in the age of Twitter. Yes, the iconic magazine editor was known for her impeccable eye and her generally fabulous lifestyle, but just as significant was her quick and irrepressible wit, apparent in the surfeit of sharply observed bon mots that have survived her. Such as, “You don’t have to be born beautiful to be wildly attractive.” Or, “Too much good taste can be boring.” Or even, “People who eat white bread have no dreams.” Her “Why Don’t You” column alone, which first appeared in a 1936 issue of US Harper’s BAZAAR, was a bounty of quips in the form of advice: Why don’t you “knit yourself a little skullcap?” “turn your old ermine coat into…

In a world of elusive multihyphenates, it’s impressive that Margaret Qualley had not one but two quite solid career paths she could have taken. While she’s about to join some of Hollywood’s biggest names onscreen in this month’s Quentin Tarantino-directed blockbuster, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, things almost turned out quite differently for the Montana-born 24-year-old. Having already dedicated a good portion of her youth to ballet dancing, leaving home at 14 to study at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Qualley had a come-to-Jesus moment as she was set to begin an apprenticeship with the prestigious North Carolina Dance Theatre. “It hit me like, Is this actually going to be good for my head and heart? and I didn’t think it was, so I quit…

LA GRANDE DAME 2008 Created in 1962, the launch of La Grande Dame was held until the House’s bicentennial and the launch of the Business Woman Award 10 years later. This is the most audacious La Grande Dame wine, with 92 per cent pinot noir — the highest percentage in the House’s history. LA GRANDE DAME ROSÉ 2008 This rosé was created in 1988 and relaunched in 1995. Also an exclusive blend of eight historical grand crus, the rosé is obtained by adding 15 per cent pinot noir red wines from Bouzy, one of the most historical plots in the House’s vineyard.…

VIRGO (August 24–September 23) You’re on a high with the sun and your ruler, Mercury, in your sign, and Venus and Mars igniting romantic sparks.

I MET CHRIS* FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO. I’d moved down from Canberra and had been living in Melbourne for a few months. He left a beautiful note on my car with his name and details. My brother knew him; he worked in sales. I did my research and he was seemingly a nice guy. Even so, I was careful. We met for the first time in a public place. He was from the country, a wholesome single dad with family morals. I scrutinised him for a long time. I met his friends. This was a decent guy, I thought. We were friends for about a year, gradually developing a romantic connection. He was totally different to any man I’d ever dated. My family and friends loved him. I…

FASHION HAS A SIMPLE MATHS PROBLEM: there’s an abundance of beautiful women in the world, but only a handful of top model positions available. So how does a Somali refugee based in Iowa, with no contacts and a lack of celebrity parentage, break through? For 18-year-old Ugbad Abdi, it came down to Instagram. After finishing high school, and inspired by the monumental success of fellow Somali-American Halima Aden, Abdi embarked on a gap year to pursue modelling. Her Instagram posts attracted the attention of Next Models, who flew her to New York and signed her in August 2018. By January of this year, she was walking her first show — alongside Naomi Campbell for Valentino haute couture, no less. More wins followed in February, when she became the unequivocal darling…

Long lines, superfine ribs, pastel hues and effortless draping define the season’s wear-anywhere woollens…

WHETHER FOR RELIGIOUS, cultural or purely personal reasons, the demand for modest dressing has become increasingly apparent. Far from being restrictive or dull, the less revealing aesthetic has inspired designers worldwide, expanding far beyond traditional Muslim countries and informing every part of the fashion world, from high-end luxury houses to the high street. This March, Afghan-Australian designer Anjilla Seddeqi showcased a sumptuous collection of colourful silk dresses and floor-sweeping coats at Fashions of Multicultural Australia (FOMA), an exhibition and runway couture show that showcases indigenous, migrant and refugee designers (the debut in 2019 included those from Indonesian, Afghan, Irish, Kiribati and Korean backgrounds). “I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the rack of clothes backstage,” says fashion anthropologist Charlotte Smith of Seddeqi’s collection. “There was no one standing…

S leek, dark cylinders lined up in my bathroom cabinet: if this is transgression, it feels like the business-class end of it. As you may have noticed — or not, depending on the level of skill in its application — men’s makeup is going mainstream, following the genderless revolution that has swept fashion, fragrance and haircare. The potential market is huge — half the population — and boldface brands are jumping at it, from early adopter Yves Saint Laurent, which reformulated its Touche Éclat concealer pen for men in 2008, to Tom Ford, Chanel, Marc Jacobs Beauty and Givenchy. And today, as a man whose toiletries bag is always emptier than a bachelor’s fridge, I’ve been asked to trial it. Arrayed in front of me are products from the Boy…

Marc Jacobs’s beauty routine is simple but specific. While he was living in Paris, he would see the famed Joëlle Ciocco for facials. “I used to go to her four times a year when I lived there, and now I see her maybe twice a year,” he says. Ciocco’s cleanser and toner are in his daily rotation, then a dollop of Youthquake, and his Lip Lock balm. “I usually carry two or three in my bag at all times,” he says. Finally, to keep his hair slicked back and out of his eyes, Jacobs combs in some Oribe Rock Hard Gel.…

MAKEUP “I’m such a low-key, casual person.” BEAUTY GURU: “My mom. She’s a hairdresser and worked in a salon for 30 years.” WHAT SHE TAUGHT ME: “Makeup should enhance what you have naturally — it’s not something you should feel you need to hide behind. That mentality has been really helpful, especially working in the industry as a teenager. You start to wonder if it’s OK to just look like yourself.” TOP MODEL: Gisele Bündchen. “She’s always been my idol. When I first met her, she didn’t know who I was, but she was so nice to me.” MAKEUP ROUTINE: “When I’m not working, I just wear BB cream, mascara and lip balm.” MASCARA: Lancôme Monsieur Big. SIGNATURE FEATURE: “My brows. My mom refused to let me wax them. She…

Poised at the threshold of her top-floor apartment in New York’s SoHo district, I find myself wondering which of the many versions of Cindy Sherman I am about to meet. From young ingenue to ageing diva, working girl to bored housewife, Renaissance noblewoman to 21st-century street-style star, the photographer has inhabited almost every possible female archetype during a career that has spanned more than 40 years. So it comes as something of a surprise when the woman who opens the door to me turns out to be polite, softly spoken, bare-faced and understated — the polar opposite of the heavily made-up, flamboyantly costumed, larger-than-life characters she portrays in her work. Sherman, who at 65 is the subject of a major new retrospective at the British National Portrait Gallery in London,…
