This season, brace yourself for some empowering fashion. Whether it’s body-con, barely-there cut-outs, or hot pink for the loud and proud – there’s nothing vanilla about AW22. With that in mind, we needed a cover star who is equally as dynamic, sexy and bold. Enter Luma Grothe, a model passionate about championing women in business. With a line in eco-friendly female personal care products and a blossoming acting career, she’s a go-getter with heart. Read her success story on page 28. We also speak to jewellery designer Annoushka Ducas, who describes the turn of fate that led to her career, the inspiration behind her London home interior and why she believes in the talismanic power of gems.

Growing up in Santa Catarina, Brazil, Luma Grothe dreamed of becoming a painter or scientist. Then, when a friend entered her into a modelling competition at the age of 14, her life completely changed. Although she didn’t win, she was spotted by an agency scout who signed her instantly. Soon a 15-year-old Luma was living in Europe, spending her time between Milan and London, where she learnt to speak English. She was a regular on the catwalk during the international fashion collections, walking in shows including Vivienne Westwood, Burberry and Versace. “I did a lot and I loved it – I love it all,” she smiles. The life that Luma, who has also appeared in campaigns for Armani, DKNY, Karl Lagerfeld and Paco Rabanne, as well as becoming a primary…

THE SCENE If you ever need a burst of happiness, put on Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In The Heights – the movie adaptation of his first big Broadway success. (You may have heard of his little follow-up show, Hamilton.) The all-singing, all-dancing tale of a Latinx community in New York stars beautiful Mexican actress Melissa Barrera. She confesses to watching the stage musical an impressive 15 times before landing the part of Vanessa, an aspiring fashion designer. The costumes are one of the most joyous aspects of the film; each frame oozes colour and Melissa’s own style is equally eye-catching, opting for vibrant labels like Peter Dundas, as well as harbouring a serious soft spot for classic Chanel. A role in the latest Scream movie followed and Clinique snapped her up as…

WELLNESS Wear this MAKING MOVES Sustainable British brand Stripe & Stare doesn’t just make the softest knickers, now it has branched out into biodegradable activewear. Around 70% of the clothing we wear is made up of synthetic fibres, such as polyester, which will sit in landfill for hundreds of years. Happily, this collection will take just 180 days to biodegrade once planted in soil or your compost bin. We’re tempted by this cute tie-dye set. Eat this CEREAL CHEAT The new Misfits Choc Protein Cereal, £22 for three boxes, is reminiscent of our childhood faves but it’s low in sugar, high in fibre and packed with 14g of protein per serving to support muscle repair and growth. A step up from a bowl of cornflakes, which contains an average 2.1g…

L A-based singer-songwriter Jillian Rose Banks (AKA Banks) heads to London this month as part of her Serpentina world tour. Although she hadn’t planned to write her fourth studio album during lockdown, she says, “It just kind of happened”. So she took to her home studio and says having the boundaries of not being around people forced her to do everything herself. “I think it was a blessing. I thought, wow, it’s been me all along – I don’t need anybody else, I just want them.” Her favourite songs change with her mood, but include the opening track Misunderstood, Holding Back (“it’s such a banger”) and Burn (“because it’s so beautiful”). This will be her first tour since the pandemic and she’s excited to be visiting London. “I love it.…

TRIBUTE This season, Tod’s creative director for men’s and womenswear, Walter Chiapponi, has reinterpreted the brand’s iconic Di bag, creating a more supple and deconstructed version to suit the modern customer. The new Di is available in three sizes, including a mini version for eveningwear, however the upscaled versions intend to embrace a more modernised genderless attitude. As with all Tod’s products it is made from the finest hides and has a hand-cut finish. With no lining and supple flexibility, it is as contemporary as it is practical – and actually collapses so it can be neatly folded into luggage. Key design features include butter-soft leather, a signature central-stitched seam, rolled handles with an almond-shaped handle-end and a shoulder strap. The colour palette ranges from spice and earth tones, with…

POWERED BY CHILDSPLAY CLOTHING…

Annoushka Ducas MBE firmly believes that things happen for a reason. When she launched fine jewellery brand Annoushka 13 years ago, she and husband John Ayton began their search for a second home in London – a pied-a-terre to work with their permanent residence in East Sussex. Rather than seeking a large terraced house like the one they’d previously owned in Notting Hill, Annoushka wanted something over one or two storeys. “It was up and down, up and down over five floors… exhausting,” she says, exhaling. “I wanted something small with a lateral entertaining space – we really enjoy entertaining.” After viewing a number of apartments, she was shown a Georgian cottage located between Pimlico and Belgravia. She fell in love with the “secret house” that you approach through an…

Chanel introduced storytelling and an haute couture spirit to horlogerie with its first aptly-named Première watch in 1987 and it has remained a classic among the Maison’s wristwatches ever since. Seen here, the relaunch of the original is dressed in black lacquer, with a signature interlaced leather and chain strap, in a beautifully-crafted paradox of shape and texture. Innately feminine with masculine undertones, it feels as relevant and lust-worthy now as it did back then, which is the marker of a truly timeless timepiece.…
