Fine woven Heritage fabrics with tactility have become a seasonal calling card; consider Chanel and Burberry's iterations that lace tweed and tartan with a new coloured edge. Scan the QR code to shop Vogue's edit of the trend. Under cover The power of an oversized woollen scarf will rarely go astray when cocooning against the elements, and this time around they've been blown up to extra-cosy proportions. Pile on Velvet is synonymous with winter opulence, and its newest iterations are striking in their simplicity and elegant in their elongated shape – the shortcut to looking done for evening. The long game Winter's anklelength skirts give poise and personality. See Prada's featherweight take on grunge, or Christopher Esber's sequinspangled party pieces for proof.

Sometimes glamour should exist just for the sake of it, and The Attico excels at getting that message across. The eight-year-old label – founded in Milan by Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio, who met when studying fashion design at Istituto Marangoni and Istituto Europeo di Design – has garnered a devoted customer base who favour its knockout eveningwear, diaphanous dresses, statement pumps and thighhigh boots. Recalling the finery of nightclubs in the 1970s, but with a modern twist, Zendaya, Rihanna and Dua Lipa are among the label's well-heeled fans. The growing attention crescendoed at the spring/summer ‘24 shows last September when Tordini and Ambrosio presented their debut runway collection, answering years of demand. A synergy between Ambrosio's edgy experimentalism and Tordini's elegant meticulousness defines each of The Attico's collections, which…

Laura Jones is in something of a blue period. Or, at least, a blue mood. “It's because there's a lot of old dried hydrangeas in here after summer,” says Jones, referring to her Darlinghurst studio where she currently sits, a cacophony of oil paint and dried flora splayed out on all sides. “I definitely go through colour phases. I find that I start painting my nails that colour … I think a lot of artists do this, you start to really embody the mood you're in and express it in your food, your clothes, and everything around you.” Jones is dressed to suit said mood for our interview, in a blue denim set. Behind her, further evidence: two portraits of the same still-life arrangement trade wall space, bushy pink flowers…

On June 23, Paris welcomes Vogue World, a big celebration of fashion as well as a tribute to the life of a city and its culture. Paris has forever been the fashion capital, but this year, it's the capital of sport. This event arrives at the juncture of a century of couture and the Paris Olympic Games, which will be a 100 years old in 2024. Anna Wintour, Condé Nast global chief content officer, explains the philosophy of these very fashionable festivities: “In 2022, we wanted to help give back to life in Manhattan after the pandemic, and honour not only the extraordinary community of fashion in this city but also the city of New York itself. It was a truly uplifting moment that we couldn't resist trying again in…

Having first risen to fame in the 1990s, influential supermodel Amber Valletta remains very much in demand, fronting campaigns for such luxury brands as Loewe, Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney, and many others. But she is also a leading climate change activist: she serves as British Vogue's contributing sustainability editor and the Karl Lagerfeld brand's sustainability ambassador, and has participated in several of Jane Fonda's Fire Drill Fridays protests in Washington, DC, where she has been arrested a few times alongside other activists. Valletta tries to fold her pro-environmental ethos into every corner of her life, including her home. Thus, she, her fiancé, the fashion hairdresser Teddy Charles, and her friend, the LA-based interior designer Ross Cassidy, have worked to turn a new hilltop house in LA into a model of…

VOGUE AUSTRALIA: You're recently engaged. What will your pre-wedding skincare preparation involve? BELLA GEMINDER: “It's simple. During my time modelling, I would have so many products put on my face, which led me to break out and my skin barrier became totally compromised. Since then, I've stripped back my routine to really simple products that focus on nourishment, hydration and skin barrier health. I only use a really gentle cleanser, the new Super Hydration Serum, the Barrier Balance Cream, and in the morning, I always follow with SPF. If I am feeling extra-dry at night, I'll mix in a face oil with the Barrier Balance Cream.” VA: Will you be trialling any skin treatments ahead of the big day? BG: “Laser Genesis – I love this treatment. It's super-gentle and…

Happily after all For fans of Simon Porte Jacquemus's youthful but classic label, the launch of a dedicated bridal collection might feel overdue. From the romantic palette of rose red and ivory he deployed at his buzzed-about 2023 show at Versailles, to the multitudinous brides who have worn his dresses before he launched any kind of official line, it's a natural step. The debut of Le Mariage melds the best of the label: smouldering shows of skin, updates on traditional suiting and liberal helpings of linens, this time in sheer white gowns and sheaths, lipstick red cocktail-hour dresses for guests and suiting in black, to bone and emerald for all in the bridal party. For those dreaming of recreating the designer's own epic Bouches-duRhône wedding in 2022, guests all decked…

WEDDINGS VOGUE AUSTRALIA: Why did you pick your venue? “We knew the only place we wanted to host our wedding was at our country house Rosedale Farm in Orange, New South Wales. We wanted to feel like our family and friends were coming over for a family dinner with a ceremony thrown in.” VA: How would you describe the theme of your wedding day? “We wanted the feel of the wedding to be intimate – we had 50 guests – but also romantic, classic and glam.” VA: What about styling? “I worked with my dear friend Saskia Havekes of Grandiflora to create the ‘overgrown Italian orangery’ installation with different lush green foliages and rambling flowers including roses, cosmos, hydrangeas, zinnias, dahlias, anemones and chamomile supplied by Oxley Hill Flower Farm.…

VOGUE AUSTRALIA: How did you meet? “A week after moving from Brooklyn to the Bay Area to start my graduate studies, I met Jacob for a walk in the park. After an hour, we just knew we wanted to be together. From there on, we spent most free moments together picnicking along the coast, surfing and seeing music and art shows.” VA: How did your partner propose? “As backcountry skiers on a trip, Jacob packed a gourmet dinner and we skinned six miles on skis into a remote hut. Jacob proposed at sunset in a snowy meadow with vibrant pink skies.” VA: Why did you pick your venue? “Sea Ranch Lodge is known for its iconic mid-century modern California design, sitespecific nature and understated elegance. The Lodge was also just…

VOGUE AUSTRALIA: How did you approach planning? “Securing the entire Villa del Balbianello for our wedding was a stroke of luck, as it is an operational museum open to the public, making exclusive bookings a rarity. We wanted our guests to embark on a memorable journey throughout the evening, experiencing the charm of different key locations across the estate. From the arrival to the ceremony, postceremony apertif and reception, every moment was carefully curated to offer surprises, delightful beverages and captivating entertainment. What we hadn't anticipated was the logistical challenge as the villa is accessible only via a small hiking trail or water transportation, so every single item needed to be brought in and out on the day itself.” VA: Why did you pick your venue? “Michael and I had…

WEDDINGS I'm standing in a queue at a pharmacy, a week before my wedding day, waiting to buy some medical-grade antihistamine. The woman in front of me is moving at a glacial pace, while I'm having the mother of all meltdowns and making a deal with a god I haven't spoken to in years. The problem: my lips have blown up to the size of a Jeff Koons sculpture. This is not where I wanted to be aesthetically so close to the finish line. Help. As a beauty editor who has written more wedding preparation guides than you can shake a needle at, I know full well that anything invasive you may want to do in the lead-up to the big day (that includes minimal procedures such as Botox and…

Gemini 22 May-21 June A revitalising New Moon plus your ruler Mercury in your sign bring a new look and outlook. With Mars in your emotional zone, you're impatient to launch ideas, and if money's been an issue, the Sun and Venus may attract more your way now. Under the Full Moon's beams an obligation could be settled, and while sensible Saturn is retrograde, review your career situation. STYLE ICON: Riley Keough Virgo 24 August-22 September Your ruler Mercury gets you seen and heard now with a New Moon revitalising your career. A passion to get ahead in life is strong with Mars in the mix, but what and who you know is also important, with Venus and the Sun pushing your agenda in a caring way. Romance and fun…

GEORGE CORTINA Celebrated stylist George Cortina dressed actor Anya Taylor-Joy for the cover of this issue, which was captured by Josh Olins in a picturesque home in the Los Angeles suburb of Encino. “I was inspired by actresses Catherine Deneuve and Romy Schneider,” Cortina says of his first time working with both TaylorJoy and Olins. “I also wanted to cast Anya in a different light. You always see her so dressed up, so for this I wanted her more dressed down, sporty.” He adds: “It always starts with the girl. From there, I begin with a film reference and adjust the character to fit. I always want it to feel very cinematic.” UMA FA LEUNG For model Uma Fa Leung, who grew up in Ecuador, being granted the chance to…

COLLECTOR A train hisses and exhales at a station in Rome as French actor Anouk Aimée, wrapped against the cold, waits to board a train to see the premiere of La Dolce Vita in which she stars. It is 1960 and swinging from her arm is another star that will go on to rival all those who wore it – Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Romy Schneider, Jane Fonda and more – Chanel's timeless bag. A giant of design, it has undeniably contributed to the founder of the French house's parting wish: “May my legend prosper and thrive. I wish it a long and happy life.” Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel spoke those words after she had designed the first iteration of the bag, the 2.55, in February, 1955 – the date codified into…

VIEWPOINT Should we all just online shop together for a moment?” Melbourne-based artist Atong Atem and Nigerian designer Adeju Thompson laugh when I propose this over video call. Just two hours earlier, Thompson, the founder and creative director of Lagos Space Programme, had launched the non-binary fashion label's first ecommerce site. “Oh, I love the blue!” exclaims Atem. Her one-year-old son, Isagani, is resting his head on her shoulder, and turns to gurgle at the camera. Atem and Thompson are two creatives with formidable schedules, but they've carved out one precious hour for a tête-àtête. Both are showcasing their works in the National Gallery of Victoria's (NGV) upcoming exhibition Africa Fashion, the most comprehensive exhibition of fashion from the continent ever presented in Australia. Originally curated and shown in London's…

CODES ISHA AMBANI Vogue Codes Summit 2017 speaker On April 2, 2023, soon after Mumbai's Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre rolled out the red carpet for Gigi Hadid, Zendaya and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in honour of its grand three-day launch, Isha Ambani opened the doors to her sprawling four-storey gallery, Art House. Located within the same complex founded by her family (the Cultural Centre is named after her mother), Art House serves to further the centre's aim to honour Indian culture by creating a first-of-itskind platform for local and international artists. “I believe that the best of Indian art is still ahead of us, and I know the Art House will play a pivotal role in this exciting journey,” Ambani, the Yale- and Stanford-educated director of Reliance Jio Infocomm and…

Of all the designer quotes that circulated during the autumn/winter '24/'25 shows earlier this year, one stood out. “I say to myself every morning, ‘I have to decide whether I am a 15-year-old girl, or a woman close to death,’” Miuccia Prada shared of her inspiration at Miu Miu. This was conveyed through the collection's mix of ingenue and clothes with maturity, but also in the runway cast, which comprised a split of fashion models and nonmodels spanning different ages and careers – from Gigi Hadid to retired Chinese doctor Qin Huilan. “I didn't know anything about fashion before, and even now I don't know much … I was busy in the hospital most of the time, so I gave up [my] pursuit of beauty,” the 70-year-old says. Miu Miu's…

WEDDINGS When Tiffany & Co. debuted one of its newest jewellery creations last month, it was intentionally genderless. Titan, building on the success of their unisex Lock collection, was conceived of by Louis Vuitton men's creative director and polymath Pharrell Williams and features gold link necklaces, bracelets and rings accented with spikes taken from Greek mythology and Poseidon's trident. With its combination of hard lines and soft curves, along with its conceptual tie to the limitlessness of the ocean, it makes not only a tidy parallel with enduring love but a fitting piece to mark a milestone day – like a wedding – and can be worn by both partners. Long have couple's exchanged gifts on their wedding day, a tradition that evolved from old-fashioned dowries, but now with a…

While at work, film directors Freddie Waters and Raine Allen-Miller are used to being in control, it's something they relinquished for their intimate, London nuptials, outsourcing the planning to Zeleka Nadine. One area that Raine was not willing to give up creative direction over, however, was her dress, which was custom-made by Cawley Studio. “I wanted something that was a kind of Frankenstein of three dresses,” she explains. “I made a mood board with corsets, long sleeves and big puffy, silly skirts.” Rather than change into a second dress for the evening, Raine decided she wanted something that she could remove, transforming her day dress into an evening one – which she would wear with her leopard print trainers and her something blue – blue socks. As with most brides,…

WEDDINGS VOGUE AUSTRALIA: How did you approach planning? “Our wedding was easy to plan. We knew that we would get married at City Hall with a few close friends in attendance. However, due to insistence that there must be cake involved at some point, we had a small gathering the next day in a friend's garden. The cake buffet is what I did spend quite a bit of time planning. Inspired by classic wedding cakes, the Martha Stewart Weddings book and fondant cakes from Milanese bakeries, I brought my ideas to Coco's, a bakery in Toronto, where owner Nicole Bilyea made them absolutely perfectly. My friend Patti Robinson of Robinson Bread also made a classic French croquembouche to which I added pink roses.” VA: Why did you pick your venue?…

VIEWPOINT There's a framed picture that sits on a cabinet near Alex Perry's desk at his opulent inner-Sydney studio. In it, Elle Macpherson wears a black floor-length gown with a strapless bustline and immaculately tailored internal corset, positioned to reveal its structure. Perry believes the image, shot for Vogue Australia in 1995, is the purest representation of his vision. “That sums me up, what my personal design aesthetic is,” he says with a smile – those trademark sunglasses off, though gold and silver reflective pairs sit in a mirrored tray at his desk. “It's not lace or beading – it can be – but it's more that razorsharp finish, fitted within an inch of its life.” Perry will never apologise for his compressed cuts; he's the first to note that…

VOGUE AUSTRALIA Her next move This time two years ago, Anya Taylor-Joy was knee-deep in the rust-red earth of Broken Hill making the epic Furiosa. During the five months of production, Taylor-Joy fell in love with Australia and in particular Sydney, seeking out secret harbourside beaches, seeing movies at the Randwick Ritz, walking most Sundays from her rental in Paddington all the way to Newtown. Taylor-Joy has barely been back in the city for 24 hours and already she's visited SWOP, the thrift store in Darlinghurst, and bought an oversized T-shirt emblazoned with Remy, the cartoon character from Ratatouille. Today, the 28-year-old fashion darling – she is Dior's global ambassador for women's fashion and beauty, house ambassador for Tiffany & Co. and global ambassador for Jaeger Le-Coultre – is wearing her…

The fragments that are a part of Dutch designer Iris van Herpen's artistry has most recently made for a blockbuster exhibition, Sculpting the Senses. This brilliantly curated survey of her work that opened at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, recently transferred to the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) and launches this month. What sets van Herpen apart is her vision and voice at the epicentre of expeditionary fashion, her exploration of form, her intuition, and cutting-edge technology. Van Herpen's work embodies the exacting rigour of haute couture with her atelier in Amsterdam intricately interpreting her perspective and stitching masterpieces, often as light as a feather and as fluid as water. Her inspiration and the essence of her work lies in her love of nature, dance, and perhaps,…

A creative in every sense of the word, Violette Serrat – known simply as Violette – had career ambitions in fashion design and painting before a chance encounter with a glitter pot as a 19-year-old saw her pivot to make-up. Almost two decades on, she was tapped to steer the make-up direction of Guerlain, the beloved 196-year-old French beauty house that thrives on firsts: it released the world's first lipstick and with the launch of its now-iconic fragrance, Shalimar, in 1925, heralded an entirely new fragrance family. In 2021, the French-born, New York-based artist also introduced her own beauty line, Violette_Fr, distilling her singular Parisian aesthetic into skincare, make-up, haircare and fragrances. At the heart of all her pursuits are both her loyal community – she has more than 600,000…

MORGANE RICHER LA FLÈCHE, artist WORE: CUSTOM MOLLY GODDARD “It had to be Molly Goddard – I am a devoted fan and avid collector of her clothes. She had just launched a bridal collection, but I didn't want a white dress … Our ceremony took place at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas and was officiated by an Elvis impersonator, so a traditional wedding dress didn't make sense to me. As a visual artist, I love to build worlds and think of space like a set … [My advice to other brides would be] think about your story, make your own rules, and be true to how you want to feel. If you're having fun, that joy carries everything else.” KRISTEN BATEMAN, writer WORE: NOIR KEI NINOMIYA, COMME…

WEDDINGS VOGUE AUSTRALIA: How did you approach planning your wedding? “I was never a bride that dreamt of a ‘big day’ wedding, so we tried to keep our approach as humble, light and real as possible. Since Justin is from the UK, and I'm from Australia, and work has sent us all over the world, we were bringing a big network together for the first time and wanted to feel like we were all on holiday together for a three-day party. We planned lots of parties, dinners and daytrips in the week leading up to the wedding and approached the planning with sentimental choices that reflected us as a couple, our heritage, family and friends. Good company and food was important to us, so we had our friend Luigi Mattiucci,…
