We celebrate so many extraordinary women in this issue, along with the life of one very special man, the late photographer Bill Cunningham. But first to our cover this month with Lily-Rose Depp. Likeable, articulate and even more beautiful in the flesh, Depp reveals that far from taking a free ride on her famous lineage she feels the need to work twice as hard to prove her talents. Giampaolo Sgura photographed Depp in New York, capturing her ingenue look to perfection. After seeing her wearing her friend Virgil Abloh’s men’s collection for Louis Vuitton at the recent ready-to-wear shows, we asked jeweller Gaia Repossi to play model for this issue, reinterpreting masculine tailoring in an extremely elegant and modern manner and showing how versatile Abloh’s designs are. The resulting images,…

Johnny Coca is holding up a Mulberry handbag. It has a hard acetate top handle, a flap embedded with bold crystals and a pleated accordion-style side making it charmingly shaped like … well, a triangular prism-shaped accordion, albeit one that you can hold your phone and wallet in. But this description is not doing the handbag justice. It might even read as a deterrent: how odd! How strange! How does it work? Why would you want that? – you might think. But in real life, everything about it is just right. You need to see it in person. Coca is dangling it in front of us, showing off its bag-as-a-jewel appeal – it’s the kind of purse to carry when you want to add a little whoosh to lift an…

Flashing lights cut through the hazy dimly lit space of Motorwerk, Berlin’s home of techno. There’s thumping music as a warm-up before sets by Berghain nightclub’s resident DJs Marcel Dettmann, DJ Hell and Ellen Allien perform, and crowds jostle for a better look. We’re not in a Berlin club but at the runway show of Hugo, the offshoot ‘little sister’ label of Hugo Boss, which has taken its older sister’s sensible wool tailored suit and put scissors to it, literally – at least in the case of a khaki suit. A favourite look of Hugo womenswear designer Jenny Swank Krasteva, the suit, she says, is “all business at the front and then completely open at the back”. “That, for me, was really cool, because it showcases our heritage in tailoring…

“Pieces need to be comfortable and not heavy. We spend a lot of time wearing and trying the pieces during the production process” The first time I saw a coromandel screen, I cried out: ‘It’s so beautiful.’ I had never said that about any other object,” said Gabrielle Chanel of when Boy Capel, her first great love, introduced her to the lacquered panels of chinoiserie patterns, inlaid with coloured stains and mother-of-pearl. The screens captured the imagination of the designer, evoking the exotic and the faraway, and reminding her of Capel. She accumulated over 30 of these screens: they gave her the comfort of home. She would take some of them with her to various residences, from Avenue de New-York to Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in 1923, to her suite…

Ageing is officially optional. And whatever strategies you choose are completely up to you and no-one’s business but your own. That also applies to your chronological age (the one in your passport). You don’t need to reveal that to anyone (except airport officials), because nowadays there are so many ways to freeze, fill and (temporarily) erase time, at least on the surface. On the other hand, your biological age – the rate at which you are ageing internally – is much harder to hide. Your skin radiance, posture, weight, energy levels, the way you move, retain new information and even your attitude can all reveal your secrets. For instance, a woman with a ‘well-tracked face’, a spring in her step and a yoga mat tucked under a toned bicep can…

It’s been 12 years since L’Oréal took the innovative step of partnering with UNESCO to champion Australia’s young female leaders working in the game-changing areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Meet Airlie Chapman, Asha Bowen, Katarina Miljkovic and Kirsty Short, whose ground-breaking work takes them from Mars to the Kimberley in remote Western Australia and sees them working towards eradicating dangerous skin infections in our Indigenous children and developing robots to assist in disaster management. Founded in 2007, the L’Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science Australian and New Zealand program recognises the achievements of exceptional early-career female scientists, granting them $25,000 each to help further their research. Dr Airlie Chapman MECHATRONIC ENGINEER: CONNECTING HUMANS AND ROBOTS Which area do you work in? “My specific field is multi-vehicle robotics – many…

Tanunda is a pretty-as-a-picture township of 4,600 people about 50 minutes from Adelaide in the Barossa Valley. There’s a chicken shop, a coffee shop, a Chinese restaurant, a school and a couple of bakeries. It’s where Sydneysider Frankie Pelquest-Hunt moved for her then-boyfriend, now-husband’s career as a winemaker, after a stint in London. But Tanunda is nothing like London, in fact, they couldn’t be more different. But that’s precisely why Pelquest-Hunt, a kindergarten teacher, loves Tanunda. Admittedly, the first year was not all Under The Tuscan Sun vibes. In an effort to build a network in the tight-knit community, she signed up to a gym, joined a netball team, became fluent in AFL and contemplated joining the local lawn bowls competition. “For the first year, one of the hardest things…

Thank you, child,” Bill Cunningham would say, as he politely refused my offer to share a taxi back from the New York shows. Instead, he set off on his bicycle, rain, shine or drizzling snow, wearing his signature blue worker’s jacket and cap. The man with a camera who captured history in his lens always called me “child”, even though I had known him for only part of his 50 years as a photographer. He was the figure on a wonky bike, who snapped society mavens, quirky downtown figures and, best of all, sniffed out fashion trends on his favourite corner of 57th and Fifth Avenue. “I’ve never been a paparazzi,” Cunningham would say. Yet he managed to capture not only the famous, like a younger, thicker Karl Lagerfeld with…

Teledildonics! This is a word that, until recently, I had no idea existed. Well, I knew about the concept, I just didn’t know it had a name. Teledildonics is the technology of remote-controlled sex. Or more like a physical simulation that can be operated via a data link between devices. The word itself, ‘tele’ meaning far, ‘dildo’ being sex toy slang, ‘onics’ sounding all future-y (but not as on-point as iOrgasm, of course), dates back to a 1974 ‘spiritual manifesto’ for computer lovers (yes, really) called Computer Lib by Ted Nelson. It’s an unnervingly passionate book about personal computers that is so obviously of the 70s. I know what you’re thinking, though. In an age where we can control everything from our microwave to our cars via a smartphone, why…

A peacock apparently symbolises several things: royalty, spirituality, watchfulness and awakening. When I first arrive at the Anantara Tangalle Peace Haven Resort, nestled in a coconut plantation on Sri Lanka’s south coast, one of the first things I notice is a peacock strutting through the grounds. The peacock, and its poignant symbolism, will go on to become a mascot of my Sri Lankan stay. It is early morning and we have just landed from Sydney – two flights to Colombo then a three-and-a-half-hour drive through the dark. By the time we arrive, to a traditional welcome with three women singing around a drum, I am so jet-lagged I don’t know what time it is, except that I see the sun coming up telling us it’s a new day. And what…

Vue de Monde’s head chef Shannon Bennett was the culinary man of choice when HP decided to unveil its latest masterpiece, the Spectre Folio. It’s a device that sets a new standard when it comes to premium PC innovation. And yes, chef Bennett’s menu lived up to that same incredible standard serving, among other dishes, Spanish mackerel with kale and oyster, wagyu beef with beetroot and muntari berry, and Vue de Monde lamington. The Spectre Folio has set out to reinvent every aspect of the PC category, from the materials used to build it to the experiences it can deliver. Anointed as the world’s first leather convertible PC, it blends craftsmanship with the latest technology. “The HP Spectre Folio is the PC reinvented, achieving the perfect balance of luxury design…

DIPTI SHARMA As well as lending her modelling prowess to our fashion shoot ‘Making moves’, from page 132, Indian model Dipti Sharma offered her creative input to the story concept, acknowledging her cultural roots and spirituality. “I love being in front of the camera and being in tune with it to play a character in telling a story,” she says. “Everyone on the day was so easygoing and passionate about creating the best shoot we could.” Now based in New York, where she has lived for the past year, she relishes “the energy of the city, which keeps me so active, positive and moving all the time”, but also yearns for aspects of home. “I miss my parents, my grandma, and I also miss home-cooked Indian meals so, so much!”…

PILLAR OF LIGHT Openwork lace reflects the levity of the season – who takes anything seriously in summer anyway? Languid lengths keep it polished; flashes of skin make it seductive. NEUTRAL GROUND Rethink colour blocking. No bright pops here; instead there are grounded tones of molten chocolate, pumice and shale. The rule to live by when choosing tones: could you find it at the beach? IN THE BUFF The dichotomy represented in a cotton gown is the captivating element here: the workaday fibre lends undone elegance to a dressed-up silhouette. Swap a minaudiere for a compact wicker clutch. NET VALUE Think of latticed knits as the fishnet of summer. Peeps of skin beneath shell-white crochet are more alluring than any silken slip of a dress could be. HOT CRUSH Crushed…

1. “I love the Brazilian mid-century furniture designer Zalszupin; his work in jacaranda wood is so beautiful. I love mid-century furniture as well as Art Deco furniture.” 2. “[I recently bought] the Attico tiger sequin evening pouch. I love this shape as the new evening bag as you can throw it over your shoulder and have your hands free at any party. It’s very 70s/80s and glams up any outfit.” 3. and 4. “Egon Schiele has always been one of my favourite artists. I was just in Vienna and was able to see a special exhibition of his at the Belvedere Palace where they also have all the most famous paintings from Gustav Klimt, whom he was a protégé of, and you can really see his influence in his work.”…

1. HISTORIC LANDMARKS A city rich in history, Berlin has landmarks aplenty. Our picks: the Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of the reunification of Germany; Museum Island, home to the Pergamon, Bode, Altes and Neues museums and the Alte National galerie; the former train station now contemporary art museum Museum für Gegenwart; and for commemorative World War II and Jewish experience sites, head to Topography of Terror, the Memorial to Murdered Jews and the Jewish Museum Berlin. 2. WHERE TO STAY Visit Berlin’s luxurious Hotel de Rome for its rooftop bar with expansive views of Bebelplatz. For somewhere more downtown, the members’ club Berlin Soho House occupies a building that used to be a department store in the 1920s, but became the headquarters of the Reich Youth Leadership during World War…

Lauren Santo Domingo walks quickly, thinks quickly and can be photographed quickly. Click, click, click. She knows her angles and how to move. “Too easy,” the photographer comments, as Santo Domingo heads to her walk-in wardrobe to change into the next gown – a pleated Brandon Maxwell dress or a Johanna Ortiz number, both fresh from the spring/summer ’19 runways. Naturally, they’re all available, as with everything else seen on the runways, and more, at Moda Operandi – the e-commerce platform Santo Domingo cofounded, which features digital trunk shows allowing anyone to shop directly from the runway. Santo Domingo is photographed on these pages in the Paris apartment she shares with her husband, record label owner Andrés Santo Domingo, and their two children, seven-year-old Nicolas and six-year-old Beatrice, the family’s…

Vogue: Tell us a bit about yourself: when did you first become a stylist? And how did you get started in LA? Annabelle Harron: “I am an Australian living and working in Los Angeles with my own styling business and celebrity clientele. “My transition into the word of styling was quite organic. I had always loved and worked in fashion: in high school and while putting myself though law school I worked in fashion retail. This is where I really learned to combine a love for clothing and being of service. I loved helping people in the fitting rooms, listening to what they needed and offering my thoughts and ideas – I enjoyed the process. “Celebrity styling is a very specific career path. Once I travelled to LA and understood…

I was never a runner. I was never sporty in school or athletic in any way, and I really only started exercising regularly when I was in my 20s. By the time we were making Moulin Rouge! at Sydney’s Fox Studios in 2000 (when I was in my early 30s), I had begun running four times a week to Bondi and back from Darlinghurst. They were long runs – approximately 14 kilometres return – that would take more than an hour and a half. It helped clear my head, helped keep me focused at work. I became really addicted to it. That was before I had kids, and I ran so much. I was getting up at 5am to run before work, then working a 14-hour day on set. Then…

“When I met Natasha and Jason,” says Dipti Sharma, “and got to know about the story and the mood behind this shoot I was excited, because Natasha wanted to bring spirituality into light in a way where it meets with creativity and is artistic with a modern touch. As a spiritual person I connected immediately, and Jason, being a master in his work, made it easier for us to bring every picture to life. “I had never had this opportunity before; it’s the first time I felt I was portraying who I am in front of the camera. I had so many ideas and I did it so freely. I wanted these pictures to reflect how India has so much to offer to the world in terms of spirituality and…

As a thunderstorm finally breaks and sunlight reappears, the gold-toned costume jewellery laid out in rows in a photo studio in Paris begins to glow. Most of the pieces are by Chloé, and culled from the personal stash of the brand’s creative director, Natacha Ramsay-Levi. There are four-finger rings heavy with chains; basket-weave cuffs; collars and brooches dangling with coral mano figa, the Etruscan fist-shaped charm that wards off the evil eye; and longhorn-adorned bangles that nod to Georgia O’Keeffe. “With Natacha’s design, there is always the organic feminine,” says the stylist Camille Bidault-Waddington, her close friend of some 15 years, who helped Ramsay-Levi edit the clothes and accessories for today’s shoot, an eclectic melange of Chloé’s latest and Ramsay-Levi’s personal archives. “There’s always something a little boyish with Natacha.…

From the capital of Colombo to the tea plantations in the centre, Sri Lanka has much to offer visitors. SHOP Paradise Road, a retail chain of homewares and art, a concept store and even a boutique hotel all epitomising Sri Lankan design chic. CLIMB Sigiriya, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed rock fortress that dates back to 5th century AD. Here the ruins of an ancient royal palace sit atop the 200-metre-high rock. SURF Sri Lanka has become a must for groups of girlfriends seeking a tropical yoga/surfing retreat at one of the many southern beach resorts. EXPLORE Head south to the historic fort town of Galle, or inland into the centre to picturesque towns of Kandy or Ella in the tea plantation districts. VISIT Elephants can be seen throughout Sri Lanka,…

It is the race that stops the nation, and naming rights sponsor Lexus certainly turned it on for selected guests during the Melbourne Cup carnival, with Elle Macpherson the special guest of Lexus on Derby Day. The fact the all-new Lexus UX car, on display inside the Lexus Design Pavilion, was designed by a female chief engineer cinched the deal for the Miami-based model entrepreneur. “When Lexus approached me and said: ‘Listen, we’ve got this incredible car we’re launching. It’s designed by female engineers …’ I just thought: ‘What a wonderful opportunity to come home and see friends,’” Macpherson told me. The Lexus Design Pavilion took pole position within the Birdcage at Flemington Racecourse, guided by the concept of ‘utopia’, an experiential state that elevates the guest experience to the…

Pisces 19 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH Close partnerships could feel restricting now, so dial down the intensity and put love in the friends zone. You’re a people-pleaser, but this month you’re determined to assert your own needs. Fear of missing out on what you value most may surface, but if it’s worth having then it’s worth waiting for. STYLE ICON: Chelsea Handler Gemini 22 MAY – 21 JUNE A desire for what’s new and unusual outweighs what’s tried and tested now, and home life and health could be relegated while you throw yourself into work. As a result, partnerships that give you freedom but also financial stability get your vote. Friends and ambitions may be vulnerable, so don’t neglect either STYLE ICON: Lana Del Rey Virgo 24 AUGUST – 22…

Hawaii’s glorious beaches, volcanic landscapes and glittering high-rises were the focus of Vogue’s February issue 42 years ago when the team headed to the Pacific archipelago’s warm shores to profile it as a travel destination and backdrop for a fashion shoot. Photographer Patrick Russell’s intriguing bird’s-eye image captures basting bodies on sun-loungers angled towards the rays, and while the ‘sun safe’ message is more entrenched in our 21st-century psyche, the mood still mirrors our yearning during February as we savour the last sun-filled days and balmy nights of summer. Not only documenting the resort vibe in his Hawaiian portfolio, Russell also headed out on location to a volcano where a model was snapped clambering up a bank of solidified black lava – wearing a swimsuit and heels, of course.…

It’s a month into the New Year, new you time, that familiar calendar call to clean up your act: to swear off booze and cake in favour of Elle Macpherson’s green powder; to strive to detox negative energy; schedule daily meditations; step up your exercise regimen; and hope like hell some smidgen of your resolve to embrace a healthier lifestyle clings on beyond March. But how often do we extend this thinking to our closets? Does your wardrobe need a detox? “My definition of a toxic closet is one full of clothes I don’t wear; items that just hang there, gathering metaphorical dust and making me feel guilty,” says Courtney Sanders, co-founder of online sustainable fashion store Well Made Clothes. “Of course, it’s important to know who made our clothes…

When Elsa Schiaparelli put bejewelled pork chops on her jackets and skeletons on her dresses back in the 1930s she, as daring and assured in her own convictions as she was, must have felt compelled to justify herself, because she said this: “Working with artists like Bebe Bérard, Jean Cocteau, Salvador Dalí, Vertès, van Dongen; and with photographers like Hoyningen-Huene, Horst, Cecil Beaton and Man Ray,” she reeled off in a great feat of name-checking, “gave one a sense of exhilaration. One felt supported and understood beyond the crude and boring reality of merely making a dress to sell.” The avant-garde luminary of Surrealist clothing with a withering wit would undoubtedly scorn our contemporary love of words like ‘staples’, ‘everyday pieces’ and ‘essentials’. And as pleasing as it might be…

THE FAVOURITE Set in 18th-century England, Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone star in this cynical comic battle royale for the Queen’s affections MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan pair up as regal cousins vying for the same crown in 1569. THE CROWN Olivia Colman also plays English royalty on the small screen, starring as a middle-aged Queen Elizabeth II in season three of the award-winning series. THE ROYALS For those who prefer a lighter tone, look no further than Elizabeth Hurley as a fictional contemporary queen in this brash and binge-worthy soap opera.…

I have always imagined I would have this amazing light-filled space with tall, sheer curtains that moved in the summer breeze. And now I have it. I must have manifested this,” says Jocelyn Petroni in a tone of wonder. It comes as little surprise, however, to a devoted clientele who subscribe to her singular brand of cutting-edge holistic treatments and impeccable manicures (she is, after all, one of only three Chanel-anointed manicurists globally) that she has expanded her namesake salon in Sydney’s Woollahra to the neighbouring property, a former art gallery. From street level, an unassuming staircase does little to signal the oasis within. Reach the top and subliminally your experience is already underway: six-metre-high vaulted ceilings, blonde floorboards that run the length of the treatment room, and an abundance…

When she was a teenager, Gaia Repossi inherited her father Alberto’s suits. They were from his own adolescence, and made to measure in their family’s home town of Turin. “They were very cool and chic, in English hunting fabric, or summer beige, or cotton navy suits,” she says, thinking back to her youth. “My father had once said I would look very cool in a suit.” She would wear them with a hoodie or a T-shirt to high school, the Paris-based jewellery designer tells me with a laugh. Here is a telling tale of Repossi’s own style – a mix, a throwing out of the rule book, but also a quiet assuredness of her own tastes, an uncommon confidence at that age. She still tweaks the menswear pieces that Alberto…
