My fourteen-year-old son has started using adult-man soap, and try as we might, we can’t help but enjoy this fact, his adoptive mother and I. We are like giddy older sisters. Smell him! she says, laughing as she pushes him into me. He stumbles, and I reach out to stabilize him; he is wielding a spatula, keeping watch over the sausages he’s cooking for our brunch. He tilts toward the hollow of my neck, and his buzz-cut scalp is just within range of my nose. I smile, but I avoid catching even a whiff of him as the air shifts with his movement. That kind of nearness is powerful and complicated, and I can’t let anyone see me falter. I am pushing aside loss all the time I am with…

There is a new French designer, Nadège Vanhée-Cybulski, in charge of womenswear at Hermès. Tall, composed, and strikingly redheaded, the 37-year-old Vanhée-Cybulski is one of a new breed of behindthe-scenes designers who are being appointed to creative-director roles all over fashion. I watched her make a startlingly confident impression when, after her first show at the riding school of Paris’s Republican Guard in March, she stepped forward with smiling aplomb to field questions from a battalion of jostling journalists. “I think I was in a trance,” she remembers. “I said I thought we should go back to the stable and re-entwine this story of the horse.” Months later I trotted off to follow her into the inner sanctums behind the hallowed, orange-boxed things that have come to signify all that…

Pop idols are supposed to burn out, not fade away. If anyone lived up to that credo it was Amy Winehouse, whose rapid rise and precipitous fall (she died at 27) is charted in Amy, a riveting new documentary that had Cannes spellbound. Weaving interviews with footage—we first see Winehouse as a delightfully brash North London girl of fourteen—director Asif Kapadia immerses us in her intense, almost hallucinatory world. Even as her musical brilliance is overtaken by the pressures of fame and addiction, what never dims is that incredible, one-of-akind voice.…

“There are no prizes for good little girls,” remarks the narrator of Ottessa Moshfegh’s Eileen (Penguin Press), a 1960s New England– set novel that tracks a naïf’s obliterating crush on an enigmatic coworker. The young women in Lauren Holmes’s deft debut, Barbara the Slut and Other People (Riverhead), have outgrown their parents and boyfriends—but haven’t quite grown into themselves. Ultragentrified Brooklyn is the setting of Patricia Park’s Jane Eyre update, Re Jane (Pamela Dorman), in which a Korean-American girl becomes an au pair for an organic-touting, hegemony-fighting women’s-studies professor. And a new hire for a social-networking site takes her job recruiting “the elite’s elite” to cringe-worthy extremes in New York Times reporter Stephanie Clifford’s Everybody Rise (St. Martin’s). A series of plane crashes in 1950s New Jersey shakes up Judy…

One of the hallmarks of genius is an ability to spot connections between seemingly disparate things and then go on to create something that reveals the world in a new light. The young lyricist-composerperformer Lin-Manuel Miranda made such a connection about seven years ago, during a break from the Broadway run of his musical In the Heights, in which he was also starring. Miranda was, he says, “just chilling” in Mexico, reading Ron Chernow’s biography of Alexander Hamilton, when suddenly: “I was like, This is an album—no, this is a show. How has no one done this? It was the fact that Hamilton wrote his way off the island where he grew up. That’s the hip-hop narrative. So I Googled ‘Alexander Hamilton hip-hop musical’ and totally expected to see that…

How many pairs of pajamas does a Vogue fashion editor need to take her from the red carpet of the Costume Institute gala to JFK to board a nine-hour flight to Nice for this issue’s gorgeous story showcasing the fall season’s new spin on vintage? (See “L’Amour Toujours,” page 83.) Just one, if you are Grace Coddington, who wore the eminently comfortable Chinese-inspired pajamas Michael Kors designed specially for the night all the way from the Met to rendezvous with photographer Peter Lindbergh, model Natalia Vodianova, and actor Adrien Brody the very next day in the South of France. Perhaps Grace was so unflappable because she was heading off to work with Natalia, one of her absolutely favorite models (I also know that Natalia holds Grace in equally high regard…

Both the life and style of Claire Boucher are best described as nomadic: The punk-pop pixie, better known as Grimes, extolls the varied sartorial virtues of bowl cuts from Montreal, masks made from spiked bandannas in Beijing, ancient-looking kimonos picked up in Tokyo’s Harajuku district, and “a giant gold Versace chain that Donatella gave me,” she says. “It’s very Miami, and it’s the coolest thing I own.” Another prized possession? The black cowboy hat she brandishes around Los Angeles, where she is recording the follow-up (due out in October) to her hit 2012 album Visions. “It’s very Johnny Cash,” Grimes explains, “and it justifies any outfit.” Even when dressed by the designers she tends to inspire—Nicolas Ghesquière, for one, who invited her to both this year’s Met gala and Louis…

Model Moment Rare is the runway model who celebrates her breakout season at 27, but Bhumika Arora refreshingly disrupts the status quo. Earlier this year, the Indian newcomer, raised in Karnal, a small city several hours north of New Delhi, attracted a swirl of cameras backstage at shows from Marc Jacobs, Fendi, and Balmain to Alexander Wang, where her thick ebony hair seemed to encapsulate the designer’s Goth-inspired fall collection. What makes her an especially fresh face in this global age—beyond, of course, her architectural cheekbones and full-stop brows—is that she’s one of remarkably few South Asian models to take the international spotlight, capturing the attention of photographers Steven Meisel and Sølve Sundsbø along the way. Arora, who postponed an MBA to pursue modeling, reveals both a veteran’s respect for…

The Prime of Mister Brody Adrien Brody was just 29 years old in 2003, when he became the youngest person ever to win the Academy Award for Best Actor—his riveting performance in Roman Polanski’s bleak World War II drama, The Pianist, instantly catapulting him to Hollywood’s top ranks. Since then, his career choices—from the Predators reboot to Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, wherein he brought new life to Salvador Dalí’s capricious mustache—have forged the impression of an actor as eccentric as a Wes Anderson character (a few of whom he has also portrayed). With interests as varied as his filmography, Brody does not disappoint. Though he grew up drag racing and collected American muscle cars in his early 20s, he now follows both Formula 1 and Formula E—composed entirely of…

When Alessandro Michele was appointed the new creative director of Gucci at the beginning of this year, the fashion firmament expressed a certain surprise at the positioning of a relative unknown at the helm of the storied billion-dollar Italian luxury brand. No one, however, was more surprised than the 42-year-old Michele himself. With the quirky, long-haired looks of a Merovingian king and a personal style that runs to flower-sprigged Lisa Corti hippie blouses, neckerchiefs that he scissors from lengths of Indian silks, and fistfuls of antique rings, Michele could not be further removed from the sleekly controlled understatement of his predecessor Frida Giannini, who left the company abruptly in January with her partner, then–Gucci CEO Patrizio di Marco. “I wasn’t even on the list,” Michele says, referring to the presumed…

Meet one of the best chefs in the world, and the person who least wants me to call him that.” The praise is from the Basque chef Andoni Luis Aduriz, with whom I am drinking espresso in Mexico City on a chilly morning last winter. We’re in the meeting room of Pujol, the city’s most lauded restaurant, and Pujol’s handsome owner and chef, Enrique Olvera, has just entered. Enrique kisses me closely on the cheek, as per Mexican protocol. Flustered, all I can think to say—apropos of his olive-green Roberta’s T-shirt—is that I live in Brooklyn. “Have you eaten at Cosme?” he asks me. I tell him that I haven’t. Cosme is Olvera’s New York debut, his first restaurant outside Mexico. Its arrival in Manhattan’s Flatiron district two weeks before…

“There’s such a creative landscape upstate—it’s like a reverse cultural commute,” says Jenna Gribbon, painter and co-owner of the Oracle Club, a members-only workspace for artists and writers in Long Island City. This summer the Jeff Koons alumna, whose work has been commissioned by Sofia Coppola for Marie Antoinette, plans to head out to Storm King Art Center and the Retrospective gallery in Hudson with her fouryear-old, Silas, and novelist partner Julian Tepper. “Art should have an element of adventure,” she says.…

Borrowing from the boys was as much a part of Coco Chanel’s design DNA as her famed camélias. This elegantly lean watch, then, champions her legacy by syncing masculine lines—its beige-gold casing cites the octagonal layout of Paris’s Place Vendôme— with the airy ease of a petal-white dial. And though the piece’s primary job is to keep time—forever passing, as is its nature—the charm it possesses is nothing if not ageless.…

GAME, SET, LOVE Serena Williams is a powerful, beautiful woman—and your April issue showed us just that [“Queen of the Court,” by Rebecca Johnson, photographed by Annie Leibovitz]. It was absolutely stunning. I applaud VOGUE for choosing her for your cover. Sam Amato Buffalo, NY I was so excited to learn that Serena Williams was on the cover of your April issue. I wanted to see six or seven photos of the athlete inside but was disappointed to find just one. I was especially saddened to discover eleven photos of Kendall Jenner—if I wanted to see selfies of the reality star and her friends, I’d go look at her Instagram. Andre Freitas Los Angeles, CA THE POWER OF ONE I have been reading VOGUE since I was fourteen years old,…

Pharrell producing an artist’s debut single is like Steven Spielberg casting an unknown in his next blockbuster—it’s a star-making moment. There was, therefore, good reason to take notice when the New York–based duo Lion Babe released “Wonder Woman” this past March. Then catching sight of Lion Babe’s 26-yearold front woman, Jillian Hervey, with her mesmerizing blonde tangle of tresses, made it impossible to look away. “I grew up in Westchester wearing my hair superstraight,” Hervey says, nursing a chai latte at Cafe Orlin on St. Marks Place. “I had no understanding of natural black hair.” The daughter of Vanessa Williams, Hervey was raised around performers—“I used to think all the guys in my mom’s glam squad were my uncles,” she says—but began writing music only after meeting her producer and…

it’s a Hollywood truism that every great comedian secretly longs to do serious drama. In The End of the Tour, the 35-year-old comic actor Jason Segel delivers a bighearted performance as David Foster Wallace, the closest thing contemporary American literature has to a saint. “I wanted to do something that moved me,” he says. The film re-creates a five-day 1996 interview the bandannatopped writer did with Rolling Stone journalist David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg). Conversing in Wallace’s actual words (much of the script is taken verbatim from Lipsky’s transcripts), Segel conveys the quicksilver quality of the writer’s benevolent but uneasy genius. As the two drive around, talking pop culture and the perils of success, the real question ends up being who will control the story. In person, over coffee in L.A.’s…

“Trust me,” Cara Delevingne says, once we’ve settled into a Toronto bar so dark, so thronged, that even this instantly recognizable young person dissolves into the shifting masses. “I can find fun anywhere.” I do trust her. Grinning and conspiratorial, all kinetic limbs and generous laughter, possessed of a demeanor that suggests that she has both seen it all and seen nothing at all, she slips so readily into familiarity that it’s hard to imagine we’ve never met before. She’d like to know everything about me, which is hardly the point; but it’s the point with Cara. “I love figuring out a stranger, sitting down and learning about their loves and struggles and everything,” she says. “People are my jam.” She’s here shooting DC’s secrecy-shrouded Suicide Squad, due next summer,…

A Manhattan gala I recently attended came to a standstill when Iris Apfel entered the room. The 93-year-old style doyenne’s black feathered Alberta Ferretti dress was chic—but far more arresting was her elegant carriage. Apfel knows that a beautifully upright spine works its magic more effectively than any garment or power peel. “When you get older, there are not too many things you can do to look youthful if you don’t want to resort to chemicals and the knife,” she told me. “Good posture doesn’t cost anything.” Apfel’s poppy-straight bearing was a discomfiting reminder that the majority of us are, to varying degrees, shamefully slumped. Our addiction to gadgets has only worsened the problem: A recent study in the journal Surgical Technology International made worldwide headlines when it reported that…
