(Swimsuit, Onia x DVF, $195, onia.com) SHOP Some fine jewelry start-ups offer shoppers glittery basics, but newcomer Limnia stands out from the pack: Its Design Your Own (DYO) pieces are fully customizable. Direct-to-consumer pricing ($72–$3,500) doesn’t hurt, either. (limnia.com) LISTEN Halsey’s third album, Manic, comes out January 17, over a year after she released its first single, “Without Me,” which has already been streamed over 800 million times on Spotify. Expect a pared-down sound and personal lyrics: Upon announcing the album, she tweeted, “i can’t…

When you hear “upcycling,” you probably think of reclaimed fabrics fashioned into new creations with a vintage lean. This season, New York designer Jonathan Cohen took a more luxe approach, channeling the bold palette of his Mexican heritage into a laid-back but elevated range that dripped with texture, embroidery—and 8,000 upcycled Swarovski crystals. The Austrian company began offering its unused, slightly imperfect stock to designers and fashion schools in 2015 as part of its Conscious Design program. Since then, over 6 million crystals have been provided to up-and-coming talents. “Conscious design is about how we inspire others,” says Nadja Swarovski. “We want to motivate the next generation of outstanding designers to create their products and collections responsibly.” Adds Cohen, who bedazzled a trio of evening dresses (and perhaps the most…

When you think Spanish getaway, the pulsating beats of Ibiza may come to mind, or perhaps the gastronomic delights of San Sebastián. But if you’re a health influencer, a burned-out CEO, or, say, Naomi Campbell, your private jet is more likely to be headed for SHA Wellness Clinic. Perched between the mountains of Alicante and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, this sleek, modern resort (also accessible by commercial airplane) has sweeping cliffside views that will take your breath away. Fortunately, there’s an impressive roster of medical professionals on hand to revive you. While SHA takes relaxation seriously, it’s particularly hardcore in its wellness approach, with a team of more than 30 MDs, nutritionists, naturopaths, acupuncturists, personal trainers, and more at the ready. This isn’t a soul-searching yoga retreat; it’s a complete…

For the past three years, Mandy Moore has made us ugly-cry each week as Rebecca Pearson on NBC’s This Is Us. Now the singer-actress is returning to her musical roots with her first record in more than a decade, delivering songs that feel heavier and more folksy than the sunny pop ballads of her early career. And lately, Moore has taken on yet another role: running her new production company for 20th Century Fox Television (the studio behind This Is Us). “I’m working on projects that speak to me on a macro level, that are female-centric and female-led,” she says. Her attitude toward beauty is holistic as well: “I make sure I get enough sleep and drink lots of water.” Moore speaks about her favorite products, her recent move to…

THE INFLUENCER: JIAJIA FEI While studying art history at Bryn Mawr College, JiaJia Fei realized that she didn’t want to be an academic or a curator. Instead, she fused her education with emerging technologies (Facebook launched her freshman year), with the goal of making art accessible to a wider audience—and more relevant in our digital era. Today, she works as the director of digital at New York’s Jewish Museum; previously, she was the Guggenheim museum’s associate director of digital marketing. (Her own Instagram presence—an archive of both stylish outfits and exhibition visits—is firmly established with a 74,500-plus following.) “Twenty years ago, the question was ‘Do we need a website?’ ” Fei says. “A decade later, it was ‘Do we need to be on social media?’ And now it’s ‘Should we…

When Eliza Scanlen wrapped up her performance as the roller-skating teenage bad girl Amma Crellin in HBO’s Sharp Objects—who (spoiler alert) was revealed as the show’s murderer in its brutal final moments—her costar Amy Adams had a word of advice for the 20-year-old actress: “She told me, ‘You should go do a teen comedy now; go work with some people your own age!’ ” Scanlen recalls with a laugh, seated inside a cozy Australian café on New York’s Lower East Side. Soon enough, Scanlen would do just that, or close to it, shifting from gritty crime-drama mode to play the timid Beth March in Greta Gerwig’s slumber-party-esque remake of Little Women, out December 25. “Beth is quite different from the three other sisters in that she possesses a quiet power,”…

DEAR E. JEAN: Does a woman need a career? Last April, I met a man. I’m 22; he’s 65 and famous. He’s the sweetest—very giving, loving, eternally kind to every single soul. We live in Los Angeles, where he’s a writer. Writing is his life. He hasn’t taken a day off since before I was even born! On our seventh date, he told me he loved me and sent me on a monthlong trip to Europe with my three closest girlfriends. I was on such a high from this new love, I ditched my friends and came home after 10 days to be with him. But I didn’t see him for three weeks after my return! I understand his work always comes first, but I see him barely once a month.…

Vacations have the power to turn us into new people. And not just in the philosophical sense, but when it comes to style, too. In the season two finale of Succession, even staunch minimalist Shiv Roy exchanged her neutral trousers and turtlenecks for a Delft-blue bathing suit and a superyacht-size straw hat. And Rihanna, never one to hold back sartorially, recently captivated Instagram with slow-mo videos of herself on vacation, complete with eye-catching pieces from Asai and Bottega Veneta. Resort once connoted safe, staid clothing for private getaways. Now it’s synonymous with a fashion statement, and is a cottage industry in itself. Bergdorf Goodman has created its own dedicated shopping space, called #getaway, for the purpose. Golden Edit, a site devoted to the concept that, as cofounder Florencia Cavallo puts…

Sometimes the packaging is nearly as beautiful as the gift inside. For his debut collection as de Grisogono’s first artist-in-residence, jeweler Emmanuel Tarpin looked to spools of ribbon to inspire his six-piece range of black and white pavé diamond baubles. Just 27 years old, the French designer has already won over such A-list fans as Rihanna with his inventive mix of humble materials (think: aluminum with precious stones). “There is a definite link between Emmanuel’s universe of creation and ours,” says de Grisogono CEO Céline Assimon. “At the heart of both is a great freedom to create, to dare, and to surprise.”…

Wandering through a verdant fig grove in Greece on a sultry summer day. Berries ripening in the sun amid a blooming rose garden. These were the cherished memories that Diptyque’s founders—interior designer Chris-tiane Montadre-Gautrot, painter Desmond Knox-Leet, and set designer Yves Coueslant—translated into the brand’s most beloved, sought-after scents. The iconic oval-bottled fragrances and candles, adorned with distinctive lettering and hand-drawn motifs, were originally a beauty insider secret, but are now an instantly recognizable sign of good taste—even among those who claim disinterest in beauty products. Founded in 1961, Diptyque began as a single Paris textile shop, which launched an ancillary line of three scented candles (hawthorn, cinnamon, and tea) in 1963 to celebrate its second anniversary. Next came L’Eau, a before-its-time genderless oriental eau de toilette that debuted in…

The hospitality industry has been upping the art ante in recent years. Offerings range from ongoing curatorial programs, like the one at Brooklyn’s Wythe Hotel (which places sketchbooks and in-process pieces in guest rooms to add a studio-like component) to blockbuster art exhibitions, like Rain Room, which Australia’s Jackalope Hotel helped bring to Melbourne last summer. Through April 2020, Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert is hosting an Artist Dinner Series, which invites guests to enjoy an alfresco meal with local artists in collaboration with the Cattle Track Arts Compound. And the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, just launched an installation by a local artist that was inspired by the resort’s premier suite, Seven South. Meanwhile, the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas has taken art world bravado to…

On a Friday evening in June of 2018, book editor Sally Kim’s only plans were to go to bed around 10 p.m. Instead, she picked up a new manuscript. At 1:11 a.m., she sent an email to her colleagues at G.P. Putnam’s Sons, an imprint of the Penguin Publishing Group. “Hi, everyone,” she wrote. “I don’t expect you’ll get this note before Monday, but I wanted to send you this manuscript because I’ve just finished it, and my mind is racing.” Attached was the novel Such a Fun Age, from debut author Kiley Reid, who’d just finished her first year at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. By Monday morning, the company’s publicity director was in Kim’s office, equally sleepless, eager to discuss. Such a Fun Age follows Emira, an underemployed black…

Attorney Jennifer Robinson is seated in a hotel lounge during the UN General Assembly when two teens beside her start up a conversation. Caleb and Jordan are advocates for disability design, and Jordan has just spoken on a panel. When she shyly confesses to harboring some acting aspirations, Robinson instantly lights up. “My client is an actress!” she says, offering to introduce her to a woman she knows who could provide some guidance. Would they like to meet Amber Heard? If the kids are surprised at the Rolodex of the stranger beside them, they don’t show it. Had dreams of fame not come up, they’d have no way of knowing that the generous Australian blonde eagerly peppering them with questions about their lives is a high-powered human rights attorney working…

Descending from the sky into a nondescript corner of L.A.’s Crenshaw neighborhood, parachute in tow, Beyoncé is something of an otherworldly presence. She strides into the local hair salon, bodega, laundromat, and wig shop wearing pieces from her IVY PARK x adidas collection—living proof that you, too, can be a stylish superhero in your own life, no matter where you live and who you are. She designs IVY PARK with everyone in mind, emphasizing a “fly” look for all—whether dropping off the kids, going to the gym, or out on a dinner date. For ELLE’s shoot, the superstar gamely poses for a series of cinematic vignettes she dreamed up with her Lemonade collaborator, Queen & Slim director Melina Matsoukas. This juxtaposition—extraordinary girl in an ordinary world—is part of Beyoncé’s particular…

CAPRICORN Dec 22–Jan 19 A relationship could change dramatically near the 10th’s lunar eclipse. Spell out exactly what you’re committed to, and why. On January 12, a transformational tango between Saturn and Pluto will reshape your life for the better, especially if you lead with candor. The heavy vibes start to clear around the 13th, as Venus revs up your libido. And under the new moon on the 24th, hidden income streams could emerge. AQUARIUS Jan 20–Feb 18 Consider revamping your daily structures this month, from home decor to workflow processes. You’re craving both freedom and stability—and could have both, thanks to an alchemical Saturn-Pluto connection on the 12th. Everything might feel up in the air while you’re implementing changes, but certainty will arrive on the 20th, when Aquarius season…

THE DESIGNS THE DESIGNERS 1. SHAVI LEWIS Hometown: Newark, New Jersey Currently: Newark, New Jersey Fashion eureka moment: I never made a decision to become a designer; it just happened. I was like, “Oh, okay, I’m kind of good at this. Let’s go with it.” Dream client: Mariah Carey, because the fantasy that her life is—that’s the woman I design for. 2. ALAN GONZALEZ Hometown: Monterrey, Mexico Currently: Houston Fashion eureka moment: During my senior year of high school, my best friend had me make her prom dress. Biggest influence: My mother inspires every design I make. Growing up in a Mexican household gives you a conscience that is very unique: It is a little Mexican woman who is constantly yelling at you to do your best. 3. ASMA BIBI…

There was a time when, if I told someone I was from Colombia, they would respond with ‘Pablo Escobar!’ ” says designer Mariana Hinestroza of past stereotypes. “Then came Shakira, thankfully.” And soon after, an avalanche of designers—Johanna Ortiz, Silvia Tcherassi, Esteban Cortázar—who have helped make the country synonymous with colorful, ebullient fashion. Hinestroza and her design school classmate Catalina Álvarez were early to the wave. They launched their swimwear brand, Agua Bendita, whose name translates to “holy water,” in 2003, using colorful scrap fabric they procured from a local textile manufacturer. Back then, sustainability was a long way from becoming a fashion buzzword, but the duo’s resourcefulness was as much forward-thinking as it was a product of their environment. “Growing up in Medellín, it was normal to have your…

SHEENON OLSON @sheenon Creative director at The Salon at The Spa at Auberge Beach, Fort Lauderdale “When I use It’s a 10 Miracle Hair Mask Deep Conditioner ($32) on clients, they tell me that their hair feels healthier and is much smoother for weeks afterward. I apply it to wet hair after shampooing, starting at the midshaft and working to the ends, then comb it through to help it saturate. The combination of almond oil, apricot kernel oil, and oat kernel extract closes the hair’s cuticle and restores elasticity—plus it smells really subtly of sweet almond oil.” “I LIKE THAT THIS MASK IS FREE OF SILICONES, PARABENS, AND PHTHALATES.”—ALBA RAMOS ALBA RAMOS @sunkissalba Beauty vlogger “I have naturally curly hair, which is on the dry side. Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair!…

It takes extreme heat and unrelenting pressure over time to form a diamond. In their chaotic new thriller, sibling filmmakers Josh and Benny Safdie prove that these elements can also be transformational forces onscreen. Set in 2012 in Manhattan’s Diamond District, the film follows Howard Ratner (Adam Sandler), a sleazy jeweler and degenerate gambler—the kind of guy who’s always scrambling to stay a half step ahead of his last bad decision and an arm’s length away from the shady figures lurking about seeking repayment. Ratner’s latest get-rich-quick scheme involves importing and auctioning off a rare and valuable Ethiopian opal. But before he can cash in, the gem captures the attention of NBA star Kevin Garnett (playing himself), who borrows it for some on-court mojo, trading Ratner his 2008 Boston Celtics…

At the age of 25, I moved from Brooklyn to San Francisco to work for a data analytics start-up. The company had 20 employees, four of whom were women—a decent ratio, in 2013. My job was in customer support, and meant my days were full of men: programmers and data scientists, analysts and marketers. When the software didn’t behave as expected, the men wrote in to me. I would explain how to fix their problems, and find ways to take responsibility. I apologized, over and over, for mistakes that they had made. Does that make sense? I’d ask every few minutes, as gently as a tutor, giving them space to shift the blame back to me. Being the only woman on a nontechnical team, providing customer support to software developers,…

GREAT E S CAPES From the moors of Scotland to the beaches of Brazil, some of the world’s most breathtaking locations have played host to ELLE shoots. In 2002, photographer Gilles Bensimon and stylist Isabel Dupré set out for the latter to capture supermodel Gisele Bündchen in her native habitat. The Horizontina-born beauty showed them around the country’s shoreline, but what Bündchen missed most wasn’t the terrain. “Every time I get time off, I go see my family,” she said…
