Putting together this issue has been deeply uncomfortable, and I genuinely think that is the first time I have ever said that. This discomfort is surprising when you consider the topics we have covered without a glimmer of awkwardness over the past decade; sex, drugs, death, religion, rights, politics and a long old list of taboos have made it onto these pages without even the raise of an eyebrow. But the topic of weight – and the relationship women have with their bodies – turned out to be the comfort-zone tipping point. Which is as revealing as the content itself. When we launched Stylist, we drew a red line at talking about weight and body image; we were sick of misogynistic diets that promised an unrealistic, often unhealthy and entirely…

body image We asked 100 women how they feel about their body, their weight and their size. This is what they had to say compiled by: meena alexanderphotography: sarah brick TRIGGER WARNING: This article talks about eating disorders, weight loss and calories “Secrets and shame are what the diet industry thrives on” Alix Walker, 40, editor of Stylist magazine I thought about not eating on the morning of this photoshoot. An unhealthy instinct – a hangover of a difficult relationship with my body that started when I was just a schoolgirl – and a reminder that its negative grip is never far away. Until a few weeks ago I wouldn’t have dreamt of sharing that. Those few words jar so completely with who I see myself as: a feminist who…

The titles worthy of a place on your bedside table Nightcrawling by Leila Mottley It’s hard to believe Nightcrawling is a debut, and harder still to comprehend how such a wise, deeply perceptive story could come from the mind of one so young. But Leila Mottley is a bonafide prodigy: she was working on full-length manuscripts by the age of 14 and at 16 she’d been named Oakland’s Youth Poet Laureate. She wrote Nightcrawling when she was 17, and while she patiently waited for adulthood and the legal ability to sign herfirst contract, publishers fought over the book in global auctions. Inspired by a police abuse scandal in her hometown, the story follows Kiara, a teenage girl who lives with her older brother in a crumbling apartment block in east Oakland.…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 22 PROBING QUESTIONS What will the actor and author make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? For some, it’s power, money, love, family. Maybe it’s a mixture. I don’t believe there’s some grail that will explain it all. It’s experiencing life as fully as you can. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? It can change. The only way of keeping track is to emotionally audit yourself. You have a good guidance system inside you. WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE? The ocean with my son. With my boyfriend nearby, though he’s more of an observer of the ocean. NATURE OR NURTURE? Nature is wild and free and nurture moulds that into another shape. So, nature. IS IT MORE IMPORTANT TO…

stylist advertorial Finding it hard to switch off? Improving our relationship with tech is a good place to start As much as we’re happy getting back into life’s familiar rhythm, the pressure to fit back into the hectic old model of doing things is also starting to make itself known. You know the drill – that nagging sense we’re not quite keeping up with various tasks, as we try our best to squeeze as much as we can into all aspects of our lives. Is it any surprise we often fall short? In fact, a recent study by Microsoft found that 42% of people feel as though they can’t keep on top of their to-do lists, while 40% feel guilty for not fulfilling commitments in both their personal and professional…

Mushroom moment Harry Styles is inspired by them. Stella McCartney swears by them.   We’re crumbling them into our coffee, massaging them into our skin,   draping them over our shoulders and even decorating our homes with them.   A symbol of growth in darkness, mushrooms have become the unlikely   star of our post-pandemic times. Here’s how to reap their benefits words: sophie wilkinson fashion From toadstool motifs to sustainable fabrics, mushrooms are leading the style stakes  One fungus outshines the rest in the wardrobes of the best dressed. The fly agaric, with its shiny red cap and white spots, is having a moment thanks to the Y2K trend, plus nostalgia for Super Mario and the dancing toadstools of Disney’s Fantasia. Found on jumpers at JW Anderson and Alexander McQueen, and the Frasier…

stylist advertorial Yes, it’s officially picnic season. Here’s everything you need to make it extra special… Is there anything more perfect than a picnic with friends? With the prospect of a long, sunny summer ahead of us, getting sorted for picnic season is one of life’s little joys – especially when there are so many things out there to make the experience feel a lot more luxurious. It all begins with a picnic blanket – the base from which to plan all your al fresco activities. We suggest opting for a wool blanket with a waterproof backing to help keep damp behinds at bay. Linen napkins add an air of laid-back chic (and travel well without creasing) and look for melamine glassware in different styles to create a mismatched, vintage…

A ONE-DAY DIARY FROM FLAT WHITE TO LIGHTS OUT Andrea, 31, is a senior fertility nurse at the London Egg Bank, which helps patients freeze their eggs. She lives in south London with her husband and three-year-old daughter My alarm goes off at 5am. I’ll make a coffee and a smoothie, then get the train to the gym near our London Bridge clinic. Once I’ve done my workout, I’ll shower, eat some overnight oats and walk to work for 8am. It’s a pretty constant routine, but if my daughter has a bad night’s sleep, it’s out the window. I always knew I wanted to care for people. I grew up in a difficult environment so I had to step in and take care of my little brother. It was…

beauty Luminous, glazed donut-inspired skin has become beauty’s biggest draw. Our Glow Guide cherry-picks the best products to achieve it Words: CASSIE STEER There used to be a time when the default question that followed “You’re a beauty editor?” would be, “What’s the best mascara?” But times have changed, and now how to achieve the perfect lit-from-within glow has usurped all others to be the question I get asked on repeat. Such is the phenomenon that is ‘the glow’. I come from a generation where shine was something to be subordinated; stripped, covered and blotted out using astringent toners and powders the consistency of cement dust. And yet, 20 years on from the birth of Mac’s ubiquitous Strobe Cream, glow has become currency for every new beauty launch (Charlotte Tilbury’s…

stylist advertorial Beauty products can no longer be promoted on social media using misleading filters, thanks to Sasha Pallari. The campaigner, make-up artist and influencer says we can all help others feel beautiful in their own skin It all started on a quiet Friday night in June 2020 when I posted a story on Instagram asking people to share their unfiltered selfies. I’m a make-up artist by profession, so my feed is often full of beauty looks, but – and especially after spending more time than usual on my phone during lockdown – I noticed that I hardly ever saw photos showing real skin. Everyone was filtering their pictures so heavily that it was as though wrinkles, pimples or fine lines didn’t exist. When I saw an influencer promoting a…

vick hope Radio One DJ and Women’s Prize for Fiction podcast host Vick Hope on her summer culture hits words: helen bownassPHOTOGRAPHY: ARRON DUNWORTH “I just want to have a nice time. It’s really not as not as complex as I used to think it was. We live in a society that tells us that everything’s supposed to be hard – and don’t get me wrong a lot of stuff is – we think we’re supposed to grind, the idea of the side hustle! But I think we should place as much onus on enjoyment. I’m trying to do things that make me happy and stimulate me and bring me peace.” It sounds simple, doesn’t it? But how many of us have just not had that nice a time recently?…
