EDITOR’S LETTER Dear reader, what is it about summer that’s so evocative of having a ridiculously good time? Biting into that first sugary watermelon of the season, warm rays tickling your face through raffia, sipping a bellini as you watch the sun dip over an ombre horizon. These dopamine-inducing months remind me of all things blissful; first kisses, crinkled linen, chic bikinis, Slim Aarons photos, pistachio ice-cream, aged terry cloth and, of course, my teenage style icon… Summer Roberts from The O.C. ‘AS THE DAYS GET LONGER, WE ALL CRAVE A LITTLE REFRESH’ Now I know we haven’t quite got there yet, but that doesn’t mean we can’t plan ahead. Gatekeeping is just not our style, that’s why in this jam-packed June/July edition we’ve made sure it’s teeming with everything…

When Farm Rio opened its inaugural boutique in London last December, it was an immediate success. Merchandise flew off the shelves so swiftly that staff were advised to change outfits multiple times throughout each shift to prevent customers requesting sold-out items. Noteworthy anecdotes include accounts of an individual travelling all the way from Poland by train, solely to acquire a London-exclusive item. Co-founder Katia Barros shares that she had long dreamed of opening a boutique in London, all the more after Liberty hosted a pop-up store for the Brazilian brand in 2022. “Our fondness for the city and its vibrant community was further fuelled by this experience. The warm reception and enthusiasm of Londoners have deeply moved us, prompting us to accelerate our plans for a permanent store.” Bringing the…

Known for her facial tattoos and waist-length hair, Native American model Quannah’s CV reads like a who’s who of fashion’s big guns, with frequent appearances in Chanel, Chloé and Prabal Gurung runway shows. A 2020 Calvin Klein campaign rocketed her into public consciousness, and she’s put her platform to great use, championing Indigenous culture and causes and shining a spotlight on climate change. Her activism actually far pre-dates her role as a coveted cover star. Quannah is descended from Hän Gwich’in and Sicangu/ Oglala Lakota and she once lobbied to preserve Alaska’s National Wildlife Refuge and protect the Arctic from oil and gas drilling. Her red carpet choices always weave a narrative, imbued with details that pay tribute to her culture. Fascinated by fashion from a young age, Quannah simply…

HEY BUN After multiple sightings at the SS24 shows, the humble bun is back in business. Wear it at the nape of your neck and nix flyaways with a strong hold hairspray.

SET THE TONE Regular exfoliation helps to give you a refined and radiant complexion, but maintaining a healthy glow without damaging your skin barrier can be a bit of a balancing act. “Chemical exfoliators, like alpha hydroxy acids [AHAs], beta hydroxy acids [BHAs] and enzymes, loosen the bonds that hold dead cells and debris to the skin’s surface – so they can be rinsed away,” explains dermatologist Dr Murad. They are often gentler than physical scrubs that can cause microtears on the skin’s surface but even so, some industry experts, including Meder Beauty founder Dr Tiina Meder and Environ founder Dr Des Fernandes, recommend using chemical exfoliators with caution. A-Z OF ACIDS AHAs, such as glycolic and lactic acids, are particularly suited to dry and sun-damaged skin. If you’re prone…

MODERN SAFARI Safari style doesn’t have to be all animal prints and faux furs. Create the feel of a luxury lodge with wooden accents and warm natural tones, which will help to connect you back to nature and bring the outside in. MIAMI SUNSET The perfect summer palette to transport you to warmer climes. Think golden hour-inspired shades of dusky orange and pink. Add an art-deco edge with ombre glassware or opt for 80s’ Miami Vice-style silhouettes. ECLECTIC GRANDPA Say goodbye to coastal grandma, it’s time to take inspo from your eccentric granddad. Think mismatched patterned upholstery, thrifted finds and quirky lamps. Just remember – the more eclectic, the better.…

Amalie Gassmann is a dynamic force of creativity. As a writer, model, photographer, creative director and filmmaker, she brings a multifaceted vision to life through her passion for storytelling. “I try to be a multi-hyphenate in terms of the creative space, because I really love everything,” she tells us when we speak before her Hello! Fashion cover shoot. “And I love collaboration. So any opportunity to work with other people and create something together is pretty much the main mindset I have.” For Amalie, who is still only 28, it all began at the age of 12, when she attended a Christmas party in Paris with her mother and caught the eye of Jeni Rose, head scout for IMG Models. Although legally she couldn’t sign to the agency until she…

COLUMN British Summer Time is upon us and with it comes longer days and heightened energy levels with the return, we all hope, of some warm sunshine. It is time to make the most of the weather that brings with it the chance to make happy memories. Increased daylight hours means larger step counts from getting about on foot with a podcast for company; try Ffern’s (organic scent made in Somerset) monthly offering, guiding you through the changing seasons. I am excited to return to the magical fields of Glastonbury once more, as well as heading to Cross The Tracks festival to listen to artists such as Erykah Badu and Ama Lou. I am also looking forward to taking the train to the seaside to explore Hastings and Margate, whilst…

1. SCRUNCHIE ELASTIC Smocking has been utilised in clothing since the middle ages, presumably to be sported while struggling through the feudalism and avoiding the plague. For SS24, it’s tighter than shirring and reassuringly bobbly to the touch. Also seen at Chanel, Feben and Sandy Liang. 2. SHARP SCULPTURE Act No.1 took silhouettes to showstopping heights this season with designs we think an architect would approve of, while the ruffles seen at Ashlyn So resembled a lab experiment gone awry. After all, your outfit is ultimately a canvas, so why not dabble in a little 3D art? 3. CREPE PAPER Not quite the tissue paper art we proudly gave to our mums to display on the fridge, SS24’s offerings have a hell of a lot more finesse than we could…

I don’t treat them as a chore,” says Priyanka Chopra Jonas about her beauty rituals, from her serene, lamp-lit study in California. It’s late afternoon in London, but the 41-year-old Indian actress is Zooming at 8am her time. “I feel like it’s meditative almost,” she continues. “As human beings, as women, we give so much. All day is an energy suck. The lens is always looking out… but it’s important to turn the lens on yourself and shut out the noise. If you have the luxury to be able to take an hour – and I do find that time, it really helps. It’s empowering.” Here, the Max Factor global brand ambassador, who shares two-year-old daughter, Malti Marie, with musician husband Nick Jonas, makes a compelling case for self-care that’s…

The magic of Zambia overwhelms the senses as soon as you begin your adventure along the banks of the River Zambezi, with views over the infamous ribbon of glistening water to Zimbabwe. Accessed by boat, the first stop, Chiawa Camp, is nestled amongst towering mahogany trees that fill the air with the aroma of sweet perfume at certain times of year, and shade the luxurious, private tents from the heat of the midday sun. As the first camp to settle in the area, the family-owned site oozes character and marries traditional interiors with all the modern day luxuries of a five-star hotel. Breakfast is taken at sunrise around a glowing campfire before you head out for your chosen activity, toast cooked over an open fire anyone? For a special occasion,…

HUSH Last year, loungewear and accessories label Hush appointed Melissa Dick as chief creative officer. Having held senior roles in publishing in the 00s, she moved into retail in the 2010s and most recently she was living in New York working as global vice president of creative at Coach. What will the next chapter for Hush look like? An effortless combination of ease and excitement. For me, tension is absolutely everything in fashion.

I want to bring these two things together to create an effortless wardrobe that flexes with women’s lives today. Where do your design inspirations come from? From the Hush woman’s life, from the women I see around me.…

When I meet Olivier Polge in a light-filled suite at the Ritz Paris, he has been receiving citrus crop reports from Italy. “We source certain raw materials for our fragrances,” he explains. “It looks like we will have some difficulty with orange this year but bergamot is fine and mandarin is very good. Next month I will know more about orange flower quantities. I am hearing that there might be a rose shortage though.” Of course, Chanel doesn’t suffer the scarcity of supplies. Its production is assured by way of blooming fields in the south of France. As well as rose, the fashion house grows and hand picks its own jasmine, geranium, tuberose and blowsy, mauve-hued irises [pictured left]. “I go to our flower fields and factory in Grasse once…

Brianda Fitz-James Stuart is every inch a bohemian aristocrat. As the daughter of Jacobo Fitz-James Stuart, Count of Siruela, she is descended from England’s King James II. And as the granddaughter of Spain’s famously flamboyant Duchess of Alba, she’s inherited an irresistible attraction to all things creative. But whereas Picasso saw the late Duchess as a muse, the paintbrush is in her granddaughter’s own hands, as we discovered when we met Brianda at her new home in Madrid, which she shares with her partner Francisco and their baby son Merlin. How did you choose this house? It’s a little place that we found while walking through a neighbourhood that I’d had my eye on for a long time. We were very lucky; it’s as if the house found me! It’s…
