1 HOME COMFORTS Buzzy young British artist and designer Luke Edward Hall has teamed up with Ginori 1735 once again—this time on the famed Florentine porcelain manufacturer’s latest home fragrance range, dubbed the Profumi Luchino collection. Each of the candles conjures an imaginary dwelling in either the Cotswolds, Marrakech, Rajasthan, Big Sur, or Venice, and is housed in a porcelain vessel so beautiful, you’ll want to collect them all. Candles, Ginori 1735, from $490, ginori1735.com. 2 NEED FOR TWEED This season, Chanel transformed its signature fabric into makeup. Each shade in the eye shadow palette is embossed with a design resembling a mosaic of woven threads. And every quartet even comes with a collectible tweed pouch made by legendary embroidery house Maison Lesage—a matching, mini tweed jacket of sorts. Chanel…

If Daniel Roseberry’s designs came with a recipe, it would boil down to this: seasoning luxury with Surrealism. A few years ago, when the Plano, Texas–raised pastor’s son was at Thom Browne and pitching himself for the role of artistic director of the house of Schiaparelli, he’d taken a measure of what was happening on its runway and the red carpet. He tells me now that it was “all beautiful,” but “way too tasteful.” Where was the next-level conversation in the mode of Elsa Schiaparelli, the house founder who made the first wraparound dresses and power suits, and who produced weird wearables with Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau? “I felt like Schiap,” as Elsa called herself, “was more like, ‘What’s beyond beautiful?’ ” he says. Roseberry, wearing a thin gray…

“EVERYBODY KNOWS FANNY,” someone once told me about Fanny Bourdette-Donon. And it’s true: As Dior Beauty’s international PR and special projects manager, Bourdette-Donon has made knowing people like Jorja Smith, Kitty Cash, Yoon Ahn, and Bella Hadid into a career. Born in Hyères, France, Bourdette-Donon spent her childhood and teen years in Africa, studied law in Nice, and now calls Paris home. “My approach to beauty today is a big mix of everything that I’ve learned from all the travel I’ve done,” she says. “Staying in one place for too long is really tough on me. I feel like I am dying if I’m not learning from someone else.” ON HER MORNING ROUTINE “I usually wake up around 6:30 a.m. I take a shower using Le Labo Mandarin Shower Gel,…

Dakota Johnson looked delighted when I told her that every day my doorman hands me a new designer dildo. “I’m on a lot of sex-positive press lists,” I said, shrugging. She smiled warmly when I explained how most of my mom friends dream about sleeping with everyone. And she nodded encouragingly when I rejoiced that a newly discovered lube might actually revive my dead-and-buried slutty side. Since I’m a sex columnist, talking about X-rated topics with celebrities is no big deal. I recently published a book called This Might Be Too Personal: And Other Intimate Stories, in which I openly shared about everything from having an abortion to imagining my fertility doctor and I were starring together in a fetish porn. Sexy talk with Dakota Johnson, however, felt more intimate.…

Art Basel Miami Beach may be one of the United States’ most famous—and infamous—art fairs, but don’t let its reputation for over-the-top events fool you; the show is still as revered in the art world as ever. Not only does it draw more than 250 galleries in an eye-popping display showcasing the work of thousands of international artists, it’s become a driving force in Miami’s own burgeoning art community—which includes many Latin American artists—as well. “Art Basel Miami Beach has its own unique way of bridging the art scene of South America with North America, Europe, and beyond,” says Amalia Amoedo, an Argentinian art collector, whose interdisciplinary artist residency program in José Ignacio, Uraguay, Fundación Ama Amoedo Residencia Artística (FAARA), will partner with Miami Art Week this year to offer…

VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS “Sometimes your ambition will lead you into rooms where you may be the only one who looks like you or who has had your lived experiences. In those moments, when you are the first, know that we are all there with you, cheering you on. And remember, like my mother always told me, ‘You may be the first to do many things—make sure you’re not the last.’” TIFFANY HADDISH “[My relationship with ambition] is very strong, but it has faltered. I think that has a lot to do with association, and [people] I’ve let in my world who maybe didn’t like my ambition to achieve certain things. So I’ve removed those people over the years, the ones who try to deter or hate.” ELLEN PAO “As…

Anastasia Barbieri STYLIST Provenance: Born in Croatia, raised in Italy—both Rome and Turin Now: Paris, for the past 30 years This month: Styled the shoots “Trail Blazer” (page 210) and “Romantic Drama” (page 232).

The biggest lesson learned on the job: Be flexible! Advice to aspiring stylists: Be curious. Dream shoot locations: Polynesia or Mongolia. I’ve never been to either. Upcoming projects: I’ll be working on a few editorial shoots and spending some time in the Mediterranean. Ottessa Moshfegh WRITER; AUTHOR OF THE RECENT NOVEL LAPVONA Provenance: Newton, Massachusetts Now: Pasadena, California This month: Wrote “Finding Myself in a…

For me, as a writer, vintage clothing holds special value: There are stories embedded in the seams, memories stuffed in the lining, caught between the pleats, and hidden in the hems. Sometimes the previous owner has left evidence: a shopping list in the pocket, a coffee stain or a rip from an ecstatic night out dancing. An imperfection is an indelible detail of a secondhand garment’s charm. A tear or missing button might tell the story of the item’s provenance, and sometimes an imperfection explains how the item found its way to you, who will mend it and love it again. It’s true about people, too—our marks and scars tell the stories of where we have been, where we fell, and how we’ve healed. For thousands of years, people wore…

Ancient Egyptians venerated turquoise, working the vivid gem into jewelry and scarabs. (King Tut’s burial mask was even decorated with the stone.) These days, turquoise is enjoying a renaissance among jewelry designers, and Van Cleef & Arpels is leading the charge. With its 12-piece Perles d’été high jewelry collection, the French brand showcases the motif in a fresh—and ultraluxe—fashion. Part of the house’s legendary Perlée line, it highlights Arizona-sourced turquoise set against gold beads, evoking sunny days under an azure sky. The range, which includes necklaces, bracelets, and rings, features uniquely high-quality turquoise, made possible by a cache of stones obtained by Van Cleef several years ago. “Turquoise is a gem that is more difficult to find in the maison’s taste and criteria of selection,” says Nicolas Bos, the house’s…

It took me a while to care about eyebrows. When I was young, I cared way more about having big boobs, and wondering if I would ever not be the shortest person in a room. (Happy to report: It’s happened twice now!) Until, of course, sometime in 2004, when A.J. Soprano woke up at a sleepover with his eyebrows shaved off. I was my family’s A.J.: snotty, mild weight fluctuations, and a disappointment on every level to my parents. When Tony grabbed his son’s face and asked, “What’s different about you? Who did this?” that’s when it clicked. Bad eyebrows can disappoint a parent as much as a bad report card, and I needed to give love and care to those puppies (and be careful whom I fell asleep around).…

Who hasn’t cried to an Adele song? Between the pathos of her “Someone Like You” and the regret that inhabits every note of “Easy on Me,” this month’s cover star seems to possess an uncanny ability to tap into universal emotions—even when singing about specific moments in her personal life. And thankfully, Adele is not afraid to be just as vulnerable in an interview as she is at the mic. On page 197, she opens up about the headline-making postponement of her Vegas residency earlier this year. “I was embarrassed,” she tells Emma Carmichael. “I went into hiding.” But there’s good news on the horizon: The residency is getting new life with a revamped production she hopes will feel as intimate as a private concert. Adele was also game to…

SOMETHING BLUE Blue eye shadow has just achieved redemption status on the lids of model Paloma Elsesser at Maryam Nassir Zadeh. For a bold effect, try the iconic Metallic Cobalt blue shadow from the YSL Beauty Couture Clutch Tuxedo Eyeshadow Palette ($150; yslbeautyus.com); for a true baby blue, imitate the look at Christian Siriano with Stila Double Dip Suede Shade & Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Blue Jean ($24; stilacosmetics.com). Or dip a toe in the trend by rimming lashes in Kulfi Beauty Underlined Kajal Eyeliner in Rain Check ($20; kulfibeauty.com). POWER PINK Shades of magenta and rose appeared all over faces this season. Emporio Armani models had an ombré eye that combined Giorgio Armani Beauty Lip Maestro Liquid Lipstick ($39; giorgioarmani beauty-usa.com)—try Red Fuchsia or Ecstasy—and pearlescent…

Don’t worry, this isn’t a story about beauty NFTs. But there is new beauty technology out there that can make your skin look glowier and healthier. During the pandemic, skin care fanatics who desperately missed their facialists and doctors turned to at-home devices. Now a second generation of these devices have arrived—and they’re not only more luxurious, but also more powerful. Aesthetician Shani Darden, whose clients include Jessica Alba and Anya Taylor-Joy, has long used LED panels in her facials to boost skin bounciness and reduce inflammation. Her new mask is an upgrade of her first (released in 2015), with 237 LED lights and a custom neck piece, making it the strongest nonprofessional LED device currently on the market. “The last one was a light density of 3, while the…

Perched nearly 9,000 feet above sea level on a majestic Andean plateau, Bogotá has always had a singular energy. Often called Colombia’s melting pot, it’s both the capital and the cultural epicenter, a place where the country’s rich history and diverse population converge. Nowhere is that felt more than in its arts scene, comprising an impassioned community of traditional artisans and forward-thinking creatives. In the fall, things reach a fever pitch when ARTBO, now in its 18th year, explodes across the city to share the work of hundreds of artists. “What happens during that week is just incredible in terms of all of the different activities,” explains Tatiana Rais, cofounder and director of Espacio Odeón, a multidisciplinary space that’s become an integral incubator and hub for the city’s arts community.…

Something’s been happening with the ambitious women in my life. A friend who used to be focused on climbing the corporate ladder in her marketing job—while dabbling in a series of side hustles—is trying to figure out how to backpedal. A lawyer at a big tech company who’s the breadwinner for her family is taking a leave of absence. A creative force of nature who burned out mid-pandemic is trying to make peace with the not-that-difficult job she took just to hold on to her health insurance. Then, over glasses of wine one weeknight, I found myself saying to a fellow go-getter: “I’m just not that busy lately.” As someone who has always had a sense of pride in her work ethic and found a sense of purpose in her…

When Ashley Flowers was a child, she wanted to be a defense attorney. Once she realized the job wasn’t like it appeared on TV, she decided to be a cold case detective. “Then I found out you had to be a cop, and I was like, hard pass,” she said. As long as she could remember, she’d had an insatiable appetite for true crime. “But until podcasting, I never found the thing I was good at.” She released the first episode of the weekly podcast she cohosts, Crime Junkie, in December of 2017. The format involved Flowers recounting the details of a crime she’d researched online to her best friend, Brit Prawat, who interjected questions, asides, or midwesternisms like “Oh my word!” Flowers started out recording the show at home…

there’s a prickly kind of thrill to having coffee with someone who is teetering between anonymity and fame—something about the mix of caffeine and clairvoyance makes even the most jaded culture journalist remember why she started doing this in the first place. I can tell the waiter at this hip TriBeCa hotel café knows the feeling, as he shakily places a mug of black coffee in front of Devon Ross, a clean-faced beauty with a raven-colored ’70s shag cut. On the morning in question, we are a few days away from the Cannes premiere of Irma Vep—the HBO limited series in which the 22-year-old model makes her acting debut—where she oozed Old Hollywood glamour and Gen Z je ne sais quoi in a cream silk Celine gown and pearl-dotted finger…

VIRGO AUG 23–SEPT 22 September is sorting month as retrograde Mercury reminds you of the joys of living simply. Rather than hauling everything to the dump in a moment of frustration, keep a regifting pile for things like family treasures and valuables you know someone close to you will love. LIBRA SEPT 23–OCT 22 As Mercury slips back through your sign for much of September, you may contemplate a style overhaul, but easy does it.

SCORPIO OCT 23–NOV 21 Can you relax your boundaries without getting steamrollered? With Mercury retrograde in your fluid twelfth house, you could afford to be a…
