feature “Why boundaries are the new status symbol” Elizabeth Uviebinené, speaker, brand strategist and author of new book The Reset, on why there’s never been a better opportunity to carve out a new way to work Let me be very honest with you: at first, I enjoyed it. There’s something invigorating about walking into a glass building in Canary Wharf in your nice dress, a Blackberry in one hand and iPhone in the other. Working in the marketing team at a big bank, I was ‘on’ all the time. The constant pinging of emails was a badge of honour. I felt important, needed, placing all my value in how busy I was. But, of course, being busy isn’t an identity. This was back in 2014 before anybody was talking about…

campaign Meet the sisters fighting to make our streets safer As they launch their anti-street harassment campaign, Stylist speaks to Our Streets Now founders Gemma and Maya Tutton about fighting for women’s safety WORDS: HANNAH KEEGAN Gemma Tutton was 11 years old, walking home from school, when a group of men slowed down in a car beside her, wound down the window and began sexually harassing her. “I felt terrified,” she remembers. “I didn’t understand why these men were saying these things to me, I thought it was my fault because I was wearing shorts. That day was the start of what every woman goes through in her life.” Deeply unnerved by what had happened to her, Gemma turned to her older sister, Maya, who knew all too well how…

fighting for justice George Floyd’s murder: “Derek Chauvin is merely a cog in the policing machine” A Minnesota jury last week convicted police officer Derek Chauvin of murder – the fact we doubted it would happen shows how much work is left to do, says Paula Akpan Last Tuesday evening, much of the world was watching the Derek Chauvin trial with bated breath. Arrested and charged with the second-degree unintentional murder (alongside other lesser charges) of George Floyd in May last year after kneeling on his neck for nine minutes, we witnessed Chauvin being convicted on all charges. It was – shamefully – an historic moment; police killings are all too common in America and yet convictions are vanishingly rare. Chauvin now awaits sentencing. A murder that sparked protests in…

beauty One-and-done eyes A new generation of ridiculously easy-to-use formulas is making eyeshadow easier than ever before words: Shannon peter With face masks set to be a permanent fixture for the foreseeable, it’s hardly surprising that so many of us are shifting our cosmetic focus upwards, forgoing lipstick in favour of that old faithful, eyeshadow. In fact, according to market researchers NPD Group, as lipstick sales declined throughout last year’s lockdowns, eye make-up increased its share of the prestige make-up market. With a similar statement-making ability, but without the risk of smudging, we’re replenishing our post-lockdown make-up bags with eyeshadows aplenty. However, if you’re someone who freezes up at the mere thought of an eyeshadow quad, let alone a 24-pan palette with a shade spectrum to rival the Farrow &…

ambition 2.0 The Great Reset: Why we all fell out of love with the career ladder Our relationship with work is undergoing a revolution. Stylist unpacks the findings from our Women and Work Survey 2021 words: meena alexander Aged six, what did you want to be when you grew up? A vet? Teacher? Scientist? What you never envisioned, I’m sure, is being hunched over an ironing board you’d fashioned into a makeshift desk in your spare room, tapping furiously at your laptop and repeating “you’re on mute” ad infinitum. Burnout was the buzzword of 2020. Not a new phenomenon by any stretch – the World Health Organization recognised it as “a chronic work-related stress syndrome” back in 2019 – but amplified by a pandemic and extended lockdown that, for half…
