Innholdsfortegnelse for September 2019 i ELLE

LISTEN Folk-rock band The Lumineers burst onto the scene in 2012, when their first single, “Ho Hey,” could be heard in just about every coffee shop across America for months on end. On September 13, they’ll release their third full-length studio album, III, which contains nine songs bundled into three “chapters” that together tell a story about family, addiction, and love. SHOP Etro is synonymous with colorful paisley prints, but the brand’s Pegasus logo, created in 1968, is just as iconic. This season, the house honors that heritage by reissuing its Pegaso Bag as an on-trend cross-body. (Handbag, Etro, $1,140, select Etro boutiques nationwide) SEE Louis Vuitton has wowed fans by revealing the incredible skills involved in crafting the house’s signature leather goods via immersive exhibits like Volez, Voguez, Voyagez.…

Handbag, Dolce & Gabbana, $1,695, select Dolce & Gabbana boutiques nationwide. THE STATEMENT EARRING Anyone who follows Gucci’s Alessandro Michele on Instagram knows the creative director’s fascination with antiquity, be it his own taxidermy-and sculpture-filled Roman apartment or his frequent vintage shopping excursions on the city’s Via del Governo Vecchio. So it should come as no surprise that Michele’s debut high jewelry collection is teeming with museum-worthy baubles, such as these shoulder-grazing, botanical-inspired beauties. Rubellite, tourmaline, and pink sapphire one-of-a-kind earrings, Gucci, gucci.com.

LITO “I love anything vintage. I found this coral fish, which was carved in Naples in the ’60s, in a jewelry store in Capri. I gave it new life by embellishing it with diamonds.”—Lito Karakostanoglou SYLVA & CIE “I love how carvings echo the past. Blending them with contemporary design and scale brings stones to life and creates an offbeat story.”—Sylva Yepremian IRENE NEUWIRTH “Carvings were a natural progression in my work. I love the whimsy they add to my pieces, whether it’s a carved swan, a bunny, or a giant flower.”—Irene Neuwirth DAVID WEBB “I wanted to be an archaeologist, a ceramicist, or a jeweler. Jewelry won out.”—David Webb (1975) DEZSO BY SARA BELTRÁN “Since I started working in Jaipur in 2008, my favorite part of the creative process…

1. YSL Beauté Vernis A Levres Water Stain in Nude Underwater ($37) One layer of this lip stain gives a pretty wash of color, but two becomes saturated and glossy. The 18 shades feel ultralight thanks to a formula that’s up to 40 percent water, and range from deep berry to light coral. 2. Gucci Mémoire d’Une Odeur ($120) Alessandro Michele’s retro-fantastic aesthetic is reshaping Gucci beauty, including this new juice with chamomile, jasmine, and a nostalgic musk finish. 3. Pai Light Work Rosehip Cleansing Oil ($56) Oil cleansers break down makeup best—no scrubbing required—but organic versions often leave a residue. This new rose hip oil–based formula is an exception, removing makeup (minus the usual detergents) and rinsing away without a trace. Plus, it smells like a lush flower garden.…

When New York City–based writer Alix Tunell turned 28, she treated herself to a cosmetic procedure she’d been considering for years. “My chin was weak, and I had two little fat pockets [hanging from my jawline] that I would constantly edit out of photos as soon as Facetune became available,” she says. “I just felt my side profile wasn’t strong.” So she visited a well-regarded plastic surgeon on the city’s Upper East Side and, under sedation, had the fat removed with liposuction. In the months following, she’s had doctors use advanced Botox and filler techniques, off-label, to continue sculpting that elusive photogenic mandible. Her results are subtle but fit the bill. “I don’t really Facetune it as much anymore,” Tunell says. “And I don’t feel like I need to work…

“THE EXTRALONG CORD MAKES IT EASY TO WORK WITHOUT GETTING TANGLED.”—IRINEL DE LEÓN IRINEL DE LEÓN @hairinel Celebrity hairstylist “For loose curls, I like to prep dry hair with hair spray and brush it through before curling one-inch sections in alternating directions with the Formawell Beauty x Kendall Jenner One Inch Curler ($79). The temperature can be adjusted for different hair types. I keep it below 300 degrees for chemically treated hair; between 320 and 380 degrees for thin or wavy hair; and between 360 and 450 degrees for curly or coarse hair. After it’s all curled, I let it cool and run my fingers through before adding pomade to the ends.” ANH CO TRAN @anhcotran Celebrity hairstylist “The Hot Tools 1-Inch 24K Gold Marcel Iron/Wand ($50) has two handles…

“HOLY SHIT.” It’s been a week since Carrie Goldberg submitted a final draft of her book, but when I ask how she feels about it and she says “holy shit,” it’s not out of excitement. Nor is it that she’s feeling stunned, or proud, or relieved. At one point she’d felt all those things, but right now Goldberg is mostly experiencing dread—a nerve-racking, “holy shit” kind of dread. “There’s gonna be, in August, all these people who know my shit,” she says. “The darkest moment in my life, it’s just gonna be out there. Which is super liberating, but it’s just fucking with me.” Goldberg is a 42-year-old attorney based in Brooklyn. Her law firm specializes in representing victims of “psychos, stalkers, pervs, and trolls,” as she calls them. Each…

WOMEN! YOU ARE FABULOUS! But it’s weird. I’ve been writing the Ask E. Jean column for 26 years, and for 26 years I’ve been noticing that many of the problems coming into the column have been caused by one thing. And that cause is men. Now, about 90 percent of the letters I receive don’t run in the magazine, you understand. But according to a lot of my Ask E. Jean mail, when the chaps are not lying, cheating, and passing women over for promotions, they are being inconsiderate to letter writers like Miss Tinsel (see right), or pestering, groping, pawing, pinching, and vastly underpaying the Ask E. Jean correspondents. So I came up with a scheme to do away with the lads entirely. But first, I had to find…

When ELLE caught up with Milla Jovovich back in 1999, the model-turned-actress—then starring as Joan of Arc in Luc Besson’s The Messenger—was keen to chart her own course and avoid being seen as just another pretty face. And what better way to send that message than in a buttoned-up Armani suit? Jovovich is back in the news, both on the big screen and as a fierce advocate for reproductive rights. Her independent spirit, like classic tailoring, is something that will always be in style.…

READ The 14 perceptive essays in Leslie Jamison’s Make It Scream, Make It Burn are divided by category—journalism, criticism, or memoir. Touching upon everything from the “loneliest whale in the world” to Jamison’s experience becoming a stepmother, they demonstrate that the best-selling author of The Empathy Exams continues to explore the limits of human connection. READ In the new anthology Whose Story Is This?, the acclaimed essayist Rebecca Solnit—whom the New York Times has called “the voice of the resistance”—explores the battle to shape the narrative of our era. “The real work,” she writes, “is not to convert those who hate us but to change the world so that haters don’t hold disproportionate power and so that others are not sucked into the nightmare.”…

IN AN ERA WHEN WOMEN ARE FIGHTING, once again, for our hard-won access to choice, it might seem counterintuitive that the suit—in its most masculine, tailored, gray flannel incarnation—is making a comeback. But come back it did, on female dandies in bow ties at Dolce & Gabbana, girls with cravats at Burberry, twenty-first-century Katharine Hepburns at Givenchy, even the cool kids at Alexander Wang (where a loose gray version, worn over a shiny black vest, served as a hipster-ized version of the three-piece suit). There’s a well-worn saying that “three is a trend.” But when it’s more of an avalanche, like this season’s parade of suits, it’s clear that some kind of reclamation of power is going on. In this case, that means power in its most literal form—suits with…

It’s September in New York City and Fashion Week is in the air. Though show-stopping fashion on the runways usually catches the front pages, this season we are equally impressed with the dynamic women–from designers to entrepreneurs–off the runways. It’s the women sitting in the front rows and working behind the scenes who are shaping fashion as we see it today. With unmatched personal style, killer hair, and a thirst for ambition, these women are bringing fashion week to life. PRESENTED BY TRESEMMÉ “This will be our second collection at New York Fashion Week. It will be playful, joyful, and speak to our mission as a brand for women’s empowerment.” Emily Burnett & Sterling McDavid Co-founder, Burnett New York, @burnettnewyork The two women behind the buzzy fashion brand Burnett New…

“The definition of beauty as ‘inside and out’ is finally becoming more true,” says Lauren Hutton. “We’re seeing that beauty is in all shapes, sizes, colors, and ages.” What Hutton (humbly) fails to mention: She was a mother of the movement. Decades before Slick Woods flashed her trademark smile, Hutton flaunted hers in groundbreaking campaigns for Chanel and Revlon and films like The Gambler and American Gigolo. Nearly 50 years later, she’s at the forefront again as the face of skin-care brand StriVectin. “How many beauty companies ask a 75-year-old to head a campaign?” she says. It’s just another breakthrough under her belt. Below, Hutton shares more in our debut word-association interview. “I LIKE A LITTLE WASH OF NATURAL COLOR ON THE LIPS.” START YOUR FIRST WORD IS… VENICE “Home…

THE TOOL This rolling device looks like a space-age twist on a medieval weapon, but the massaging tongs can help relax tense muscles in the jaw, encourage lifting of the skin, and release puffiness from water retention. THE CREAM One side of this dual-chamber jar plumps skin with moisturizing hyaluronic acid, while the other contains a resculpting formula with a network of polymers that firm superficial sagging. THE SERUM Inspired by the defined, V-shaped jawline coveted in Asia, this lightweight liquid formula has peptides that help skin stay taut, plus a ferment that dries and tightens laxity in 30 minutes. THE SPLURGE The Japanese luxury brand’s iconic Synactif products stimulate lymphatic drainage, which can smooth a sagging jawline. The range’s first neck cream does this with the help of a…

It had no name, but it was everywhere. I would hear about the crisis affecting men and women’s intimate relationships wherever I turned. I saw it in my group texts with women, in the conversations I would overhear in coffee shops, and even on my Instagram feed. Women had always complained about difficulties in their romantic relationships with men, but something felt different. Suddenly it seemed like women were done. They had put up with men who were emotionally inconsistent or unavailable for too long. They were desperate to love men, but according to them, men had become impossible to love. Men were frustrated, too. The women in their lives were asking them to be more sensitive in private, but men were still expected to hide the fact that they…

It’s 7 P.M. on a Friday, and across New York City, happy hours are winding down and group chats are lighting I up. Outside the Kings Theatre in Flatbush, Brooklyn, hundreds of young women are standing in line. They look like the women you’d see on any Brooklyn-bound subway: white, black, Asian, and Latinx, wearing boilersuits with Vans, cropped wide-leg pants with pointy-toe mules, tracksuits emblazoned with logos. A few are dressed festively, or festival-y, in flower crowns and colorful wigs. Some have been standing here for hours, sacrificing the entire day for a seat close to the stage, spirits undampened by the cold April drizzle. They’ve come for Colour, a two-day conference dedicated to placing value upon “everyday women of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures,” put on by the…

MALEFICENT: adj., causing or capable of producing evil or mischief; harmful or baleful [from Latin maleficent-, from maleficus, wicked, prone to evil, from malum, evil]. Malefice: n. (archaic), a wicked deed or enchantment. WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE POWER OF A WOMAN FREE IN MIND and body that has been perceived as so dangerous throughout history? In the past, the Old Testament command “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live” was taken literally. Tens of thousands of people were executed for maleficia, the alleged crime of evil deeds through magic, from the witch hunts in Europe to the Salem trials in America. The vast majority of these were women. Like the ultimate conspiracy theory, anything you couldn’t explain—from a crop failing to a child falling ill—could be put down…

Over the last few decades at Cannes, the covetable baubles of Swiss jewelry house Chopard have become synonymous with the glamorous stars who walk the red carpet. (In fact, the brand bedecks so many of them that it commandeers the entire top floor of the Hôtel Martinez for the week of the festival, going so far as to bring in its own furniture.) But what’s less well-known is that Chopard has also been crafting the Palme d’Or trophy (now made of rock crystal and fair-mined gold) since 1998, when it was redesigned by Caroline Scheufele, the brand’s current creative director and copresident—and that at the center of all the glitz, glamour, and innovation lies a philanthropic heart. The brand is also a longtime supporter of supermodel—and Cannes habitué—Natalia Vodianova, helping…

Models dazzled at Christian Siriano, thanks to dozens of Swarovski crystals dotted across the skin. “I placed them organically, scattering them until I thought it was beautiful,” says makeup artist Erin Parsons, who was inspired by the beauty marks of 1950s film star Dorothy Dandridge. Parsons finished with four layers of blue mascara for lush-looking eyes. Occasionally, function even followed form: “If the model had a pimple, I would cover it with a crystal.” Now that’s rich. SHOP THE SHOWS RUNWAY TO ELLEWAY: MAKEUP IN THE DEEP Lips in subversive dark reds and hints of black had both the glamour of vintage cinema and the edge of Lorde. At Alice + Olivia, Parsons painted a reverse ombré that she dubbed the “blooming rose lip.” She rimmed lips with blackberry liquid…

If only skin-care products could promise same-day delivery on their results. Alas, pros say a topical formula with active ingredients takes about four weeks for effects like wrinkle smoothing and spot fading to be noticeable. “Twenty-eight days is a good rule of thumb,” says Australia-based chemist and writer Michelle Wong, PhD. “It takes around two weeks for the upper layer of skin to turn over, and around 48 days for the entire epidermis.” Still, the age-old desire for younger skin in a snap has inspired treatments that range from yesteryear’s at-home egg white masks that dry into a shrink-wrap-like layer (and last until you smile) to today’s injections that fill sagging skin in a quick office visit (though a pricey and sometimes painful one at that). With instant gratification now…

FLORAL STREET Two years after debuting in the UK with a boutique in London’s upscale Covent Garden, fragrance brand Floral Street is launching stateside. Its nine scents come in colorful botanical bottles seemingly tailor-made for Instagram—and with its biodegradable outer packaging and $75 price tag, the stage is set for plenty of fanfare. No surprise, perhaps: Floral Street founder Michelle Feeney has been credited with making M.A.C, La Mer, Bumble and bumble, and St. Tropez the coveted brands you know today thanks to her business smarts (she’s the one who launched La Mer with a waiting list back in 1994). While the pretty photos printed on the bottles nod to the scents within, only insiders will know that the juices were created by famous nose Jérôme Epinette, the same perfumer…

MOVIES THE REVELATION: JODIE TURNER-SMITH In 2009, British actress Jodie Turner-Smith was on a corporate conveyor belt, sliding toward a career in (surprise!) banking. She’d just graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, armed with a finance degree and an entry-level job. But at mixers, when her colleagues raised their glasses to 30 years at the company, “a little part of me was dying inside,” she says. She quit the gig, and honestly, lucky us. Because this Thanksgiving weekend, she stars in the hotly anticipated Queen & Slim, the first feature-length film from Emmy-winning screenwriter Lena Waithe and director Melina Matsoukas (Beyoncé’s Formation video). When the titular characters (Turner-Smith and Get Out’s Daniel Kaluuya) are pulled over by a white policeman, the cop ends up dead, and the duo goes on…

In September 2004, New Yorker writer Jia Tolentino, then 15, tried out for a reality show. She and her parents were at a mall in Houston when I they noticed a booth advertising a casting call, and her dad offered her $20 to audition, as a joke. Three months later, Tolentino was on a plane to the Caribbean to appear in Girls v. Boys: Puerto Rico—which, it should surprise no one, involved two teams of teenagers competing against each other in various challenges while living together in a house brimming with hormones and low-stakes drama. At the time, reality TV was just beginning its sprawl into every corner of consciousness, and almost all traces of Girls v. Boys: Puerto Rico have since disappeared from not just television but the internet…

There is a scene in Knock Down the House, the award-winning documentary that tracks four women running for Congress in 2018, in which Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is sitting on the couch in her living room, breathing deeply. In only a few hours, the then 28-year-old bartender from the Bronx—and complete newcomer to politics—must go on live TV and debate 10-term Democratic congressman Joe Crowley in an attempt to unseat him from his position. It will not be an easy or necessarily pleasant task. She closes her eyes, extends her arms above her head, and exhales. “I need to take up space, I need to take up space,” she says, waving her arms around her. “I am here.” In the debate, Ocasio-Cortez challenges Crowley on the issues affecting their constituency with such…
