EDITOR’SLETTER November issue’s cover star Amelia Gething started her flourishing career writing and performing sketches to make her friends and family laugh then posting them on YouTube and TikTok. Amassing over seven million followers, the north Londoner would entertain from her living room and earned enough money to invest in professional cameras and kit for slicker productions. But she always dreamed of becoming an actress and, at the age of 18, that dream became a reality when her sketches caught the attention of the BBC and she was catapulted to fame with the launch of The Amelia Gething Complex. Comedy and children’s TV led to feature films and a few years later she was cast as Anne Brontë in Emily. Next, she will be starring in upcoming Sky Atlantic series…

1. HOMESPUN SCARVES Our accessories motto for AW23: if it doesn’t look like Mrs Weasley knitted it for you, we’re afraid we’re not interested. Big billowing scarves in rainbow shades engulfed models on the Etro runway, while Burberry’s snuggly offerings matched co-ordinating suiting in mustard yellow and bright cobalt checks. 2. HAIRY HATS Gargantuan fuzzy hats have donned the heads of society’s notable sexpots; Pamela Anderson and Rihanna are fans.

MAGIC WAND Clinique’s new High Impact Hi-Fi Full Volume Mascara, £27, specialises in statement lashes. The nourishing, lightweight gel formula contains tiny fibres to bulk up each hair, and the precision tip is ideal for going in and adding definition. It’s also mercifully easy to remove at the end of the day. THE KOHL FACE Sharpen your eyeliner because tightlining is back. Black kohl on the upper and lower waterlines was seen at many AW23 shows. The messier and more lived-in, the better – smudged and dishevelled trumps picture-perfect with this trend.

INTERVIEW Sophia Roe ‘DANISH PEOPLE DON’T GET DOLLED UP… THEY WEAR SIMPLE, PRACTICAL CLOTHES’ Sophia Roe is a modern muse. The Danish influencer often makes the international best-dressed lists, where she embodies a style that defies trends to showcase cut, quality and eco-credentials. A creative powerhouse, she also designs just those kinds of clothes for the label she co-founded, The Garment. Asked where her look comes from, Sophia tells us that it’s a natural part of her heritage: “Danish people don’t ‘get dolled up’… they wear simple, practical clothes. But it definitely isn’t boring. Simplicity is about being precise,” she insists. How did your love of fashion start? The urge to express myself creatively has always been there. As a child I would dress up my dolls, try on clothes…

Victoria Beckham has always used fragrance to inspire and ground her. Over the years, she has name-dropped only a handful of niche perfume houses, but you will always find scent diffusers backstage at her fashion shows and the most colossal pillar candles burning at her Dover Street store. “I’ve been a lover of fragrance for such a long time,” the designer tells us ahead of the launch of three sustainably crafted eau de parfums. “So to use this creative space to tell my story has been a dream come true. They are like my version of an autobiography. And I think they are very signature. In time, it will be obvious – ‘that is a Victoria Beckham fragrance’.” For this collection, the 49-year-old has worked with perfumer Jérôme Epinette, who…

When sisters Rosanna and Christie Wollenberg built identical houses next door to each other they wanted them to follow the same mantra as the one behind the demi-fine jewellery brand they founded in 2016. Just like Otiumberg, (“berg is from our surname, and otium is Latin for taking time out to enjoy something artistically valuable”), the houses are beautiful, understated and created from natural materials. “There’s a continuity to our product and we’ve really reflected that in our homes and vice versa. It’s all about natural style, they are both really an extension of who we are – so there’s a crossover of that aesthetic,” Rosanna tells us. Before launching Otiumberg, which began with the creation of pieces they wanted to wear themselves but couldn’t find, both sisters came from…

This season, Savannah Miller launches her new womenswear label Vivere, exclusively at John Lewis & Partners. “It started from wanting to have go-to looks for work that would make me feel amazing and look sharp,” she says of the collection of tailoring, luxe slip dresses and feminine separates. “Wearing clothing that makes me feel empowered, strong and presentable has a direct impact on how I operate.” After working with Alexander McQueen and Matthew Williamson, the Central Saint Martins alumnus launched Twenty8Twelve with her actress sister, Sienna Miller. Then in 2016 Savannah started her eponymous luxury bridal label. Here, she tells us about her dream day… I would wake up in Le Sirenuse hotel in Positano, I’d be with my husband Jim and our three kids, Moses, Lyra and Bali. We…

When designing the new Aquazzura boutique, which opened this September during London Fashion Week, founder and creative director Edgardo Osorio wanted to “bring a little Italian dream to New Bond Street”. Inspired by Edgardo’s love of the sea, especially the clear glistening waters off the Amalfi coast, which is where Aquazzura was dreamt up – the name is a combination of aqua (water) and azzurra (blue). Everything about the luxury shoe brand, which is worn by some of the best-heeled people on the planet – from the Princess of Wales to Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Kendall Jenner and Beyoncé, links back to decadence and glamour. Starting with Edgardo himself. Often described as ‘the nicest man in fashion’, the Colombian designer is both suave and charming, the perfect ambassador for his own…

Always understated and primarily monochrome or neutral, Sophia Roe is a staunch advocate of quiet luxury. The Scandinavian fashion creative and designer’s capsule wardrobe is never over-complicated, frequently and happily existing beyond trends. But whether it’s a classic blazer, broderie anglaise dress, wide-leg trouser, waistcoat or oversized biker jacket that she’s chosen to wear, styled in her trademark masculine-feminine blend – these basics aren’t ‘basic’. As her over half a million Instagram followers can verify, Sophia’s go-to designers include most of the major fashion houses – Fendi, Chanel, Valentino, Dior, Loewe and Prada are some of her favourites. When she is not wearing pieces from her own collections, that is.…

RUFFLED BLOUSE ‘Jeans and a nice top’ is a go-to for a smart work outfit or an evening out, and a ruffled blouse is a sure-fire way to feel instantly put-together. CROSSBODY BAG A wardrobe staple to accessorise any everyday outfit, opt for classic black or branch out with an emblem detail or padded style. GREY COAT This season, forget a basic black coat and take inspo from Miu Miu by opting for grey instead. Whether belted or buttoned, just find the perfect fit for you. SHIRT DRESS We love a dress whatever the weather and this season shirt dresses are having their moment. On chilly days, layer over a roll-neck and pair with chunky boots. SLOUCHY TROUSERS A tailored trouser is a wardrobe must-have and for AW we’re following…

Crack the glow code TYPE FACE A recent survey suggests that 63% of us cannot correctly identify our skin type. “When your skin is dehydrated it lacks water,” explains Dr Catriona Maybury, consultant dermatologist for Dermatica. “Dehydration is a temporary issue that can affect any skin type, but dry skin isn’t producing or retaining enough moisture from natural oils and sebum. It’s down to genetics.” SPOT THE DIFFERENCE “Dehydrated skin looks tired and dull. It lacks elasticity and develops wrinkles,” says dermatologist Dr Tiina Meder. “Dry skin is rough, tight, flaky, scaling and can be easily irritated.” Each issue needs a different treatment approach. “To support dehydrated skin, drink plenty of fluids,” suggests Dr Thivi Maruthappu, consultant dermatologist and nutritionist. “A moisturiser that combines humectants, like hyaluronic acid, and ceramides,…

Halkidiki is distinguished by its three jutting peninsulas (locals refer to them as “legs”) that bear miles of sandy beaches and secluded coves overlooking the crystal-clear Aegean waters. Laidback and unspoiled, the peninsula of Athos is the quietest of the three and furthest from the airport in Thessaloniki, Greece’s second city. What strikes you on the 90-minute drive is how green the rough and rugged landscape is. Northern Greece is less arid than the southern regions – perfect conditions for cultivating the acres of olive groves for which Halkidiki is famous. THE LUSH VISTA CONTINUES WHEN YOU ENTER EAGLES RESORT STAY The lush vista continues when you drive through the gates of Eagles Resort: lavender; honeysuckle; large-scale potted plants and, again, plenty of mature olive trees are in abundance. The…
