Innholdsfortegnelse for Winter 2025 i FASHION

DONATELLA VERSACE REPORTEDLY ONCE SAID, “Wear a fabulous smile and great jewellery and know that you are totally and utterly in control.” This sentiment vibes perfectly with our Winter issue, which is dedicated to bling and precious things. In my world, sparkle is always a good idea. I love to see the pages of FASHION glittering with the best baubles to suit every personal style, from minimalist to maximalist. I’m all about the return of statement pieces, which were all over the runways in the form of chunky chains, sculptural chandelier earrings and oversized timepieces. We showcase the best of the season, give you ideas on how to style and stack pieces and also dive into the latest innovations in wearable tech. With the holidays here, this issue also features…

To the untrained eye, most watches have a tendency to look more or less the same. Look closer, however, and you’ll discover an entire ecosystem of brands and models, each with its own combination of details and features that make it subtly different from the rest. If you’re shopping for a watch for yourself or someone else, opt for something from a reputable brand that’s been around for a while and that has a design that’s versatile enough to still look good in a decade or two. While there are countless species of watches to know, from budget-friendly bangers to rare six-figure holy grails, these are the ones you’re most likely to spot in the wild. THE MAJOR FLEX “Oh, this old thing?” Some watches are designed to blend in,…

1. NAVIGATE YOUR NECKLINE When it comes to statement necklaces, one neckline doesn’t fit them all. Your silhouette should depend on the length and width of your piece. For a chunkier choker, try an off-the-shoulder shirt. A punchier pendant usually calls for a deep V or scoop. And for a true collar necklace, try wearing it underneath an unbuttoned oxford shirt. 2. CONSIDER COLOUR THEORY Do you want your bejewelled bauble to be the star of the ensemble or simply another piece of the outfit puzzle? Once you’ve decided, play with your shades accordingly. A monochromatic colour scheme will always look elevated and help tone down your OTT accessory. But pairing a brightly beaded necklace with an otherwise-neutral palette will serve some serious style. 3. MAKE IT MODERN To keep…

“I never wanted to be the type of artist who just makes beautiful people look even more beautiful and unattainable,” says Doniella Davy over a video call. “I just knew that wasn’t going to be my contribution to the world.” The makeup artist, who goes by Donni Davy, is calling from her home in Los Angeles, where she was born and raised by artist parents—her father is well-known sculptor Woods Davy, and her mother has a background in graphic design and works as a tour guide at the Getty Villa Museum. Davy later moved to the East Coast, where she studied photography at Pratt. “I graduated and then interned at some galleries in New York and just realized it wasn’t for me,” she says. “I was like, ‘Oops, wrong choice!’…

It was during a particularly rocky summer spent living abroad—an ocean away from my mother, who would have talked me out of any drastic changes to my style. On the teenage-rebellion scale, getting your ears pierced falls somewhere between watching HBO and sneaking low-ABV wine coolers—hardly the stuff of parental nightmares. But I knew, even then, that jewellery has the power to tie generations together (as I type this, I am wearing an oblong silver ring of my mother’s that hardly ever leaves my right hand) but also define our differences. I wanted to be the first woman in my family to be able to wear earrings (not the ’80s clip-ons I collected from vintage shops—real earrings), so I marched down to a foreign shopping mall and sat in a…

At first glance, it looks like a regular pendant: a minimalist geometric shape that hangs mid-décolletage—the perfect length for layering with other chains. The Friend, however, is no ordinary bauble. It’s an AI wearable whose tag line, “Always listening,” works on two levels. Yes, its built-in microphone is indeed always recording audio, live transcribing conversations and noting down reminders for you; but it’s also paying attention, just like any other pal. Its promotional video shows a scenario where a woman, breathlessly celebrating reaching the summit on a long hike alone, tells her Friend she “doesn’t know how to woo very well.” “Amy” quickly pings back, “Well, at least we’re outside.” The Friend (available to pre-order for $140) is part of a small-but-buzzy category of AI meets wearable tech. There’s also…

Pushing boundaries is nothing new for Chanel. Founder Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel liberated women from corsets, made suntanning trendy and dreamed up the brand’s icons—like the tweed suit, quilted chain-handle handbag and two-tone pumps. And because she loved golfing, skiing, yachting, fishing and horseback riding in her off-hours, she invented sportswear—not that it was called that, back then. At her first boutique, opened in Deauville in 1913, she sold clothes made of jersey—a material previously used to make men’s underwear—to allow freedom of movement. And as early as 1921, she created a “sport” atelier within her haute-couture house at 31 Rue Cambon in Paris. Also nudging things forward is Patrice Leguéreau, director of the Chanel Jewelry Creation Studio, located in the Place Vendôme in Paris. “He really wants to push boundaries…

“The more you wear a perfume, the more it changes and adapts to your personality and your skin,” says Delfina Delettrez Fendi, jewellery designer and fourth-generation member of the Fendi family, from the wraparound terrace of the brand’s Rome headquarters. She’s in town for the unveiling of a new fragrance collection: seven scents created by three world-renowned perfumers. Each scent is inspired by a member of the Italian fashion family—from Delfina’s mother, Silvia Venturini Fendi (the brand’s creative director of accessories, menswear and children and the creator of the iconic Baguette and Peekaboo bags), to former artistic director Kim Jones to, of course, Delfina herself. Delettrez Fendi, who launched her namesake jewellery line in 2007, says there’s a parallel between her line of work and perfumery. “Jewellery can be so…

SHINE SETTERS From slicked-back buns to bouncy blowouts, hair trends are officially in their high-shine era. To help keep pulled-back strands sleek and stray hairs in check, DesignMe’s castor-oil- and jojoba-esters-enriched Hold.Me Styling Stick lives up to its name. “It’s not like a hard glue or gel, so it won’t give you ‘helmet’ hair,” says Philip Wolff, an L.A.-based hairstylist and DesignMe’s guest creative director. “It slicks and holds while adding softness to your hair.” The stick works on all textures, and an unexpected bonus is that it’s gentle enough to use on eyebrows, too. For all-over shine, sprays and oils can increase hair’s natural sheen, but for a mega-high-wattage glisten, take things a step further with at-home gloss treatments. They have numerous added benefits, from improving hair texture to…

This is the most luxurious and chic pressed glitter. It’s a water-infused pressed powder, so you don’t get any fallout when you apply it. I like to call it ‘glitter for grown-ups’—but it’s for any age, of course.” Half Magic Glitterpuck, $40 “I’m new to self-tanner, and I’ve found that this one is a really great shade for me. It’s more brown and less golden, which looks more realistic on my olive skin. The mousse is tinted, so you know where you’re putting it, and it fades really evenly. I can’t believe I only just started using self-tanner. It’s way easier to apply than I thought.” Loving Tan Deluxe Bronzing Mousse, $45 “These feel like real nails because they aren’t too thick and they stick really well. You can clip…

FASHION WENT BEHIND THE SCENES at the buzzing Toronto location of Nobu, a new jewel in Nobu Hospitality’s crown. The restaurant, dreamed up by acclaimed Toronto-based Studio Munge, takes notes from traditional Japanese design with a striking focal point: a floral-inspired installation suspended above the main dining room that was created by ceramic artist Andreea Braescu. Tucked behind the sushi counter is the open kitchen, where guests can watch signature dishes come to life, like the iconic Crispy Rice With Spicy Tuna and the Yellowtail Jalapeño. Cocktails like the Lychee Martini and the 1942 Hinode (Nobu Toronto’s interpretation of a Tequila Sunrise) round out an unforgettable experience. Toronto marks Nobu’s 56th location around the world and its first in Canada, and it opens just as the famed culinary and hotel…

ELIZABETH CLARK LAU CREATIVE EXECUTIVE PERMANENT PIECES: “I wear up to 14 pieces of jewellery every day, including a small diamond tennis necklace, a Tiffany & Co. dog tag and infinity necklace, a Mirit Weinstock folded heart pendant and a bunch of Lisa Gozlan bracelets.” JEWELLERY RULE: “Build a collection over time, and invest in pieces that can be worn daily, not just for special occasions.” CURRENT GO-TO: “I bought this cigar-band-style ring from Foundrae for myself after a particularly trying period in my life. The compass symbolizes the continual process of adjusting course to align with our true purpose.” DUSTIN CARRINGTON CONTENT CREATOR PERMANENT PIECES: “I always wear a lower-case ‘d’ pendant that my friend and designer Rory Rockmore custom-made for me, a Cartier Love ring that I bought…

Back in 2010, most of my life’s greatest questions could be solved with a statement necklace. What should I wear to school? How can I stand out at a job interview? How do I get Zac Efron to fall in love with me? You know, the usual. But just like my teen acne, my love for statement necklaces eventually waned. I traded my J.Crew Bubble for a whisper-thin gold chain from Mejuri and moved on. So you can imagine my surprise when the accessory I had so successfully broken up with over a decade ago re-emerged on the Fall 2024 runways. I love nostalgia as much as the next person (Gilmore Girls is a regular re-watch), but if the return of statement necklaces seems a little premature for your liking,…

ANNIKA LAUTENS Fashion News and Features Director 1. “There’s just something so decadent about silky pyjamas. While they’re a purchase I’ve had a hard time justifying for myself, I’d love to receive a pair like these Olivia von Halle ones for the holidays. Who knows? They could even double as a matching set come spring.” 2. “I’ve been trying to up my glassware game, and I think these gorgeous coupes from Anthropologie are just the ones to get me started. If Santa could also include a bottle of bubbly under the tree, it would be much appreciated.” GEORGE ANTONOPOULOS Senior Creative and Fashion Director, FASHION and Events 3. “The iconic Peekaboo style is genderless and luxe. It defines the very essence of Fendi’s DNA and has the perfect balance of…

SEMPRE MIO A second-skin-like fragrance that Delfina Delettrez Fendi describes as “an intimate journey.” Creating this scent “opened me up to incredible memories that I wouldn’t have been able to remember without smell,” she says. DOLCE BACIO Perfumer Anne Flipo created Dolce Bacio with second-generation family member Anna Fendi in mind. It features notes of rose, apricot and patchouli. “It’s the scent that personifies my mother,” says Silvia Venturini Fendi. “A woman who is both very strong and very gentle—a trait common to all Fendi women.” CIAO AMORE A nod to Venturini Fendi’s youngest daughter, Leonetta Luciano Fendi, and developed by perfumer Fanny Bal, Ciao Amore is a solar fragrance with notes of orange-blossom absolute, fig-leaf accord and tonka-bean absolute. CASA GRANDE Quentin Bisch crafted Casa Grande in honour of…

“I didn’t give anybody an opportunity to not believe in me,” says Ursula Stephen over the phone. “There was no chance for anyone to tell me that hairstyling was a good idea or a bad one.” The salon owner, global stylist for Fenty Hair and renowned celebrity hairstylist (whose clientele includes Rihanna, Zendaya, Kerry Washington, Rita Ora, Mary J. Blige and Laverne Cox) is a hair-industry legend. She’s also behind some of the most recognizable celebrity hairstyles ever, such as Zendaya’s Challengers press-tour looks and many of Rihanna’s iconic ’dos (like her asymmetrical bob back in 2007 and her pixie cut in 2012). “I had tunnel vision,” says Stephen of her steadfast determination to succeed. “When I was in beauty school, I did whatever my teachers told me to do.…

Louis Vuitton’s signature Damier canvas print has taken on many forms and iterations since its creation by Louis Vuitton himself (along with his son, Georges) in 1888. In 1998, the Damier Ebène—the now-iconic dark-brown check—was born, finding its way onto many of the brand’s coveted handbags. New palettes were later introduced, like the gentle Damier Azur and the masculine Damier Graphite. In 2024, Francesca Amfitheatrof, artistic director for watches and jewellery at Louis Vuitton, reinvented the Damier once again, this time for a genderless collection of fine jewellery. The rings and tennis bracelets in the lineup come in yellow or white gold and are finished with alternating rows of diamond squares, evoking the instantly recognizable print in a totally new form. Talk about ringing a bell.…
