Innholdsfortegnelse for March 2020 i HELLO! Fashion Monthly

This month’s cover star shot to fame when she was casually hanging out at Coachella festival with a friend. A photographer took her picture, it went viral and suddenly Charlotte D’Alessio was thrust into the fashion limelight. She now hangs out with supermodels like Kaia Gerber and is causing quite a stir on the red carpet for her feline looks. The Canadian beauty is a modern-day social media phenomenon and the perfect muse to showcase this season’s new looks. We’re predicting you’ll be embracing neon, nomad and polka dots as the spring trends sweep in. Plus, we speak to Mary Katrantzou at the launch of her SS20 collection in Athens and talk wellness with inspirational boxing champion Ramla Ali. Enjoy!…

THE TREND REPORT From reinventing wardrobe classics to embracing the drama of floor-sweeping gowns – we introduce the eight key trends for the season ahead… GARDEN PARTY From pretty patchwork pumps to rose-dotted dresses, the best spring fashion is garden-party appropriate say Dior, Stella McCartney and Prabal Gurung. For a new season take on the trend, mix-and-match contrasting floral prints with patchwork gingham and macrame. Bouquet headgear optional. WILD, WILD WEST Paco Rabanne presented the most extravagantly appealing incarnation of the elevated Western trend with its bibbed button-down dresses and souped-up double-denim. Elsewhere, the trend was far more literal. Dion Lee had bandana-print dresses, while YCH introduced the stetson as an everyday staple. Yee-haw! NEW WAVE NEON In past seasons, during the reign of Phoebe Philo’s sleek minimalism, designers turned…

GIA X PERNILLE TEISBAEK Combining Italian craftsmanship and Pernille’s sleek Scandi aesthetic, their collaboration is hand-crafted by artisans in Florence using butter-soft leather. Consisting of three styles in five colour-ways, the flip-flop, double-strap sandal and thong mule have been created in a range of skintone colours, aimed at modern, elegant women. Gia founder, Barbara Borghini says, “Pernille’s style is never predictable but always effortless”. Prices from £210 ROSETTA GETTY X ECCO The Californian designer’s collaboration with Danish footwear brand Ecco is a modern take on the classic Scandi clog. Using the latest environmentally friendly techniques, the range is crafted from sustainable leather, which uses dramatically less water than typical leather production. The Bauhaus plays a central influence, seen in the use of primary colours and geometric silhouettes, striking a careful…

CLEAR AS DAY Whether you go for ecofriendly glass in an array of colours, or glam it up with drop-down crystals, this season is all about the translucent… just make sure you don’t drop them. GLITZY BLOOMS Flowers, but make them extra. Over the top and covered in sparkle is the way to go, with abstract shapes taking centre stage. Ditch the ditsy florals and embrace the oversized. VICTORIANA VIBES Adorn yourself in cameos, baroque pearls, gothic chokers and jewel tones. Add in some velvet, as seen at Andrew Gn, or stick to antique-looking chandelier earrings a la Simone Rocha. SCULPTURE CLUB Statement pieces for SS20 could be mistaken for wearable contemporary art, with extravagant shapes from 3.1 Phillip Lim and Vivienne Westwood. Make it big, make it bold, make…

DREAM ON Thanks to the rise in popularity of hyper-feminine brands like Molly Goddard, Cecilie Bahnsen and Shrimps, London-based Sister Jane has enjoyed something of a renaissance. Its distinctly girlish, high drama dresses fill a gap on the high-street, pushing both boundaries and volumes. The labels latest capsule collection, Dream, is designed to be even more elevated with design-led investment pieces in atelier-style finishes.…

These perennial style mavens know how to dress, and that’s why we’re taking style tips – plucked straight from their regularly snapped wardrobes – for insider advice on how to dress for your shape. Here at HFM we strongly believe that no-one needs to ‘fix’ their shape, instead it’s all about flattering, enhancing and most of all loving the body you were born with. For petite frames, curvier hips or super-long legs, off-the-peg dressing isn’t always straightforward. So we’re looking to these style influencers, who have honed the tricks of their trade over years of dressing for the red carpet, events and even those Instagram squares. Not only do they know what suits their body shape, but more importantly, how to balance proportions to make the most of their physique.…

Liya Kebede is a pioneering model: the first to be dedicated an entire issue of Vogue Paris, the first model ambassador for the World Health Organisation and, at 41, she’s an ambassador for L’Oréal Paris, too. Having dominated the fashion world since 2000, when she was handpicked by Tom Ford to walk exclusively for Gucci, this season Liya was cast for Saint Laurent and Agnona. The mother-of-two is an equally formidable force away from the catwalk, as a sustainable fashion entrepreneur and maternal health advocate. “I became an ambassador for the World Health Organisation to raise awareness about maternal health issues, and so the Lemlem Foundation stemmed from that.” Launched over ten years ago, the organisation’s mission is to give vital midwifery training across Africa and help reduce maternal mortality…

Day spas and nail bars have long been in need of a stylistic review; and the next generation are non-fuss havens resembling inspirational living spaces you might save on your Pinterest board. Comfortable sofas, soft furnishings and designer colourways to reflect the pampering vibe are replacing the antiseptic look of a clinical waiting room you’d visit before undergoing a medical procedure. Plus, with relaxation as the key note, these graceful sparse spas are uncluttered and homely rather than having shelves filled with products. Here is our pick of the best… HAECKELS You’ll find Haeckels day spa above the super-stylish seafront store of the same name. Founder Dom Bridges was previously an advertising director, who brought his sense of detail to the well-thought out decor, which includes wide floorboards, sputnik lighting,…

When Charlotte D’Alessio attended the Coachella music festival in 2015, she was scouted three times: twice by two different model agencies and once (most crucially) by social media – the latter changing her world overnight. The 16-year-old Beverly Hills High student had attended the event with best friend Josie Canseco, daughter of major league baseball player José Canseco and his former wife, model Jessica. It was while the duo were dancing; wearing cut-off denim shorts, flash tattoos, bracelets layered up theirs arms and pink vest tops, that photographer Bryant Eslava, who is acclaimed for his pictures of photogenic festival and party-goers, spotted them. He uploaded a sun-drenched hippy-inspired shot of the girls to his Instagram feed, which had just under a million followers at the time; but now has four…

Forever accentuating her stunning surroundings, the uber-influencer is radiating spring vibes here in head-to-toe Chloé. While travelling the world, Camila Coelho delivers one Insta-perfect look after another. Impeccably stylish is always a constant for her, whether she is matching a mustard Stella McCartney dress to a Parisian sunset or blending in with a pistachio wall in her native Brazil, while wearing a dress from her collaboration with Revolve. She matches, and her eight-and-a-half million followers love it. GET THE LOOK…

Suit Up A safe way to try out all one shade is a suit or co-ord, like Viktoria Rader’s deep pink utility look. Also perfect to mix and match! Go Tonal  Take style tips from Leonie Hanne (left) and dress head-to-toe in varying shades of pink. Modernise it by adding in pops of white. Make it Masculine See pink as too girly? Add a pair of mannish jeans or trousers and a pair of chunky boots to toughen it up, seen here on Xenia Adonts. GET THE LOOK…

MORE REASONS TO LOVE ROSE Traditionally, it's presented as powdery in perfumes, but the ‘queen of flowers’ can be woody, have clove-like qualities or come across as musky, even myrrh-y. As Gertrude Stein said, ‘Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose’. And in March, Guerlain gives us a rose-tinted version of its Mon Guerlain fragrance. Actually, ‘tinted’ is an understatement – as well as rose essence, it contains Bulgarian and Turkish rose absolutes, alongside vanilla and sandalwood base notes. March also sees the launch of an eau de parfum in Goutal’s Rose Pompon collection. Modelled on the round, bulbous variety (looks a bit like a cabbage), this composition has a dash of raspberry among its rich, honeyed blooms. Victor & Rolf is adding a ‘Dew’ to its…

What it is THE PEEL GOOD FACTOR The word alone can conjure up images of red raw faces, but most peels shouldn’t lead to swathes of skin flaking off on your pillowcase. In reality, a gentle peel can be the route to a smoother, brighter complexion. They come in a range of strengths and acid solutions, too – so you need not worry about sporting first degree burns. HOW THEY WORK Superficial or very superficial peels are mild treatments that you can do at home. “They can improve discolouration and texture, but also stimulate collagen production,” says Dr Stefanie Williams, dermatologist and medical director at Eudelo. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), like glycolic and mandelic acid, work by dissolving the bonds that hold together dull skin cells and can help fade…

Tony Bennett sang I Left My Heart In San Francisco for good reason. The vibrant northern California city is not only one of the most visited in the US, but it’s diverse, too. In the 60s and 70s it was the centre of liberal activism in the US (the peace movement, sexual revolution, birth of the hippy – and later the epicentre of gay rights). Today people head to ‘San Fran’ for its eclectic mix of cable cars, Victorian architecture, the landmark Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman’s Wharf, situated across the water from Alcatraz. ‘IT WAS A CENTRE OF ACTIVISM. NOW PEOPLE HEAD TO SAN FRAN FOR ITS ECLECTIC MIX’ STAY Though located in the hub of the city, with the Arts District and Union Square only a stone’s throw…

Jorja Smith has, at only 22-years-old, already experienced stellar success. Growing up in the West Midlands, she wrote her first song at the age of 11, winning a music scholarship to a local secondary school, studying classical singing. When she was 15, her soon-to-be manager spotted her on YouTube, singing covers of soul songs. She was quickly travelling back and forth to London, working in the studio, while serving lattes in Starbucks at the weekends. Her debut album of smoky R&B melodies, Lost & Found , led her to being nominated at the 2016 Mobo’s, which resulted in Drake DM’ing her on Instagram, asking her to collaborate. Since then she has worked and toured with the Canadian rapper, along with grime star Stormzy, supported Bruno Mars on tour and played…

MILO MARIA Launched in 2017, London-based womenswear label Milo Maria mixes menswear tailoring techniques with feminine fluidity. Already spotted on Jourdan Dunn, Leomie Anderson and Lady Gaga, and known for its bold leather tailoring, this season the collection is softened with pieces in delicate chiffon, feathers and tactile fringing. Prices from £179 POAN Short for People of all Nations, after JA Hammerton’s book, which inspired founder of the brand, Georg Weissacher – previously head of menswear at Vivienne Westwood – to bring it to life in his own label. With a store in London’s Soho there are six capsule collections per year, which explore a certain topic. This collection, entitled Bacchus, is inspired by Arthur Schnitzler’s novel Dream Story, which revolves around a relationship in turmoil over their secret desires.…

Her super bright and aesthetically pleasing prints are made by grouping seemingly ordinary things together (citrus fruits, for example) and transforming them into something far more interesting, by either creating rainbow shades or ombre…

Another appearance, another label – Gugu Mbatha-Raw is not afraid of mixing it up. And designers are happy to dress the 36-year-old from Oxford, recently described as part of the Brit-actress set “that Hollywood cannot get enough of”. Initially known as Kelly in TV’s Black Mirror, it was her part in Belle (2013) that earned her critical acclaim. Before long, she was starring with Will Smith in Concussion , Matthew McConaughey in Free State Of Jones , Reese Witherspoon in The Morning Show , and last year, Bruce Willis and Alec Baldwin in Motherless Brooklyn . The movie premiered globally; in New York she wore Miu Miu, in Toronto it was Rodarte, in LA, Dolce and Gabbana and in Rome, Gucci... However, when receiving an MBE from the Prince of…

While still in the midst of a marathon bout of ‘sweater weather’, trust Baum und Pferdgarten to release this design that pips all other knits to the winning post. The abstract stripe Clarity jumper, in muted winter-approved mohair hues, has the perfect oversized fit to wear with contrasting skinny jeans. My eyes were on stalks throughout a recent trip to Istanbul, with Mehry Mu, an effortlessly elegant and beautifully soulful bag brand founded by Güne Mutlu. I was overawed by the beautiful tiles and mosaics in the Topkapi Palace’s harem and the vibrant atmosphere radiating throughout the endless alleyways of the Grand Bazaar. It was so wonderful to see both the colours and decoration which consistently inspire the exotic world of Mehry Mu, and to see one of their Luna…

Laura Weatherburn SHOPPING EDITOR Leather is my go-to for transitional weather. I’ll pair mine with this puff-shoulder blouse and some slinky sandals. Francesca Scott FASHION ASSISTANT I’d keep this pencil skirt smart by pairing with a crisp white shirt and sling-backs, adding on some tonal accessories in the mix. Rachel Story FASHION E D I T O R I’ll be tucking in this geometric print jumper, and teaming leather with leather in these knee-high boots. Jill Wanless E D I T O R I’d dress down this skirt for a weekend away with a t-shirt, trainers and oversized boyish coat. Then for the evening, I can slip on a heel.…

LIP SERVICE Any backstage make-up artist worth their salt will have a lip palette in their kit. Why? Because you can create any look without having to chop and change between different bullets. Westman Atelier Lip Suede palette, £75, allows you to mix and match like a pro. There are four wearable rouges, from pillar box red to a fuchsia pink, all with a velvety smooth and comforting finish. GREAT LENGTHS Trying to grow your hair? Once it reaches that sweet spot, where it skims your shoulder blades, the ends can look a bit ropey. Cue the new L’Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Pro Longer range, from £12.90, created for long-haired ladies. Like a protein shake for spindly strands, it targets the last few centimetres, conditioning and creating the appearance of…

Q&A RAMLA ALI From Somali war refugee to the first Muslim woman to win an English boxing title, Ramla Ali talks mental health and wellness rituals in and out of the ring. What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced since going pro? Boxing never used to be a career choice for women financially. Even today, there is an obvious disparity and pay gap between genders. 2012 was the first year female boxing was included in the Olympics, but unless you compete for a western country, you wouldn’t have the privilege of it being your full-time job. How do you take care of your mental health? I see a sports psychologist once a week and we go through everything – like the pressure I feel from people to succeed. That does…

Rare pieces are explored, as well as those by fashion labels including Alexander McQueen and Saint Laurent. Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk, V&A, 29 February-21 June 2020, vam.ac.uk 2.

Lennon grew up in rural Ontario and first picked up a guitar aged five. February-3 March,…
