Innholdsfortegnelse for August 2016 i Vogue

TONNE Goodman Being at Louse Point in Springs, where the boat is anchored, waiting to take us out to fish for dinner. SOKO All I want to do is focus on music, lock myself up in the studio, and get lost in my little bubble. Wendi MURDOCH I’m hoping to go to Burning Man. JESSE Eisenberg I’m looking forward to finally finishing the play I’ve been working on for three years and also overcoming the withdrawal from finishing the play I’ve been working on for three years. Valerie STEIKER Antiquing in Frenchtown. Taylor ANTRIM Biking up Mont Ventoux. IRINA Shayk I can’t wait to get away to some chill place with no people around. My favorite is the Maldives—just white sand and blue water. MARK Guiducci Visiting Amalfi’s Li Galli…

I didn’t want to be in Providence in January of 1980. I had been living in Santa Cruz, California, where the winters were sunny and people the same. Brown University, with its old brick buildings in a grim industrial city, seemed like prison in comparison. But I was willing to serve my time. I didn’t know a soul and rented an apartment far from campus. My second Saturday night I showed up at a shingled house for a transfer-student party. It was stuffy and smoky, and I felt invisible. I was about to leave when I came upon a floridcheeked girl with corn-silk hair at the front door. She looked like Alice in a room she had magically outgrown. Her nose and mouth were in the mail slot. “What are…

Come fall, I’m trading rings on my fingers for jewels on my toes. I won’t be bothered with bangles—not even heirlooms. The only accessory I want for the upcoming season is a pair of high-impact decorated shoes like the gleaming spike heels that purposefully came down Demna Gvasalia’s Balenciaga-debut runway—and I’m not alone. Paul Andrew goes for the glitterati, mounting a disco ball–like orb to his signature Zenadia stiletto. Manolo Blahnik, perhaps the pump-zero originator of the idea in the early eighties, is still producing crystalencrusted styles, most recently the Nadira. And Sandra Choi has introduced to Jimmy Choo her penchant for pinning vintage brooches to her shoes, with expertly employed embellishments adding sparkle to her stride. “It’s like jewelry for your feet,” she says. While a scanty dress may…

They do make me think very eighties,” says Arizona Muse of my look—built around Ve r sac e navy stretch stirrup pants—over dinner at Spring Place, a new members’ club in Tribeca. I’m test-driving the stirrup pant circa now, after its recent fall-runway resurrection. Once a staple for aerobicized hardbodies, the stirrup pant had been recently consigned to fashion obscurity. “Perhaps not on a date night,” chips in our diplomatic host, events organizer Amanda Sheppard. Despite some trepidation—I haven’t donned a pair since a childhood ski trip to Sweden—I am sold by the silhouette. And while the corridors of Vogue may be fashion-liberal (a slick of PVC here, a Crayola-bright Mongolian fur there), the office did universally note the leg-lengthening potential of stirrups before I headed off to dinner. Cut…

Of the numerous cultural moments that Beyoncé’s Lemonade has sparked—may we all be bold enough to accessorize Peter Dundas’s marigold plissé ruffles with a baseball bat—the most incendiary has surely been the closing lyric of “Sorry”: “He better call Becky with the good hair.” In fact, the line was written by Beyoncé’s collaborator Diana Gordon, a 30-year-old singer-songwriter from South Jamaica, Queens. “One day a magical Uber arrived, and I met her in the studio,” Gordon says of being summoned by Queen B. “We clicked, we told jokes, we ordered food. It felt like being with an old girlfriend.” (Gordon also earned writing credits on “Don’t Hurt Yourself” and “Daddy Lessons,” the latter a country song recently covered by the Dixie Chicks.) “Beyoncé respected me as both a woman and…

For as long as she can remember, Marisa Newman has been obsessed with two things: “art and depilation,” the former gallerist says with a laugh. Her latest venture combines both interests into an elevated collection of shave products offering an alternative to pink plastic for like-minded aesthetes. Mave, her six-piece grooming ritual, is built around a custom razor with a sculptural, easy-to-grip white resin handle that bears a striking resemblance to Brancusi’s marble Bird in Space. While the design celebrates form, the blade is all industry-tested function: After considerable market research, Newman manufactured her razor to fit Gillette Venus heads, which she buys in bulk and handsomely repackages in slide-top paper boxes (at no extra cost), effectively bypassing the locked cases at the drugstore. Just as much thought went into…

By the time their daughter was standing two heads above her fellow kindergartners, Elena Delle Donne’s parents knew she was an unusual child, and were not terribly surprised when, aged ten, Elena joined a basketball team and led it to place third in the national championships. Recently voted Most Valuable Player of the Women’s National Basketball Association, Elena is currently poised to lead the U.S. women’s Olympic basketball team to collect its sixth consecutive gold in Rio. “She is a once-in-a generation type of player,” says NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum. “She’s a Steph Curry.” In an unlikely twist for somebody with Marvel-comic physical gifts, Elena’s life has also been shaped by extreme physical disability. Her older sister, Elizabeth—or Lizzie, as everybody calls her—was born blind, deaf, and with cerebral…

nadja Spiegelman’s deeply felt memoir, I’m Supposed to Protect You from All This (Riverhead), explores the psychic legacy passed between four generations of women, including her French-born mother, New Yorker art director and children’s-book publisher Françoise Mouly. For the 29-year-old, also the author of three graphic novels, storytelling is a birthright: Her father is the Pulitzer-winning cartoonist Art Spiegelman, whose landmark graphic memoir, Maus, grounded in interviews with his Holocaustsurvivor father, grappled with the complexities of narrating the past. But it was Mouly who was the star of Nadja’s childhood, a magical figure who dove into choppy seas during electric storms, dismissing fear as something for “timid women who washed their vegetables.” With Spiegelman’s adolescence another side of her mother emerged, in unsettling fits of rage she’d later deny. The…

A fashion trend can be said to have hit its zenith when an example appears that’s bold enough to outshine the field. When it comes to the Moroccan-inspired babouche, the fair-weather footwear of the moment, Jonathan Anderson’s version for Loewe is a mirror-balled disco dream. The diminutive heel was designed as a sort of trompe l’oeil—viewed from behind, it’s a normal block heel; from the side, though, it appears to be a delicate, geometric sliver—and the leather accent at back folds up or down, adding a choose-your-own-adventure versatility. But it’s the louche, bedroom-slipper silhouette—and the scaly, metallic sheen—that puts this chic slide in a company of one (OK, two).…

Bravery can oftentimes be measured by the act of taking a first step. That’s certainly true of three extraordinary women who play leading roles in our August issue—women who haven’t so much stepped as bounded forward with huge leaps of faith. Our cover girl, Gigi Hadid, sharing the spotlight with world-record-holding decathlete Ashton Eaton (“Aiming High,” page 119), might not seem at first glance to define bravery, but when she sternly repudiated the vicious online sniping about her body last year she stood up not only for herself but for the many, many young women who don’t live up to some people’s ridiculous and extremely narrow—literally—ideal of a fashionable physique. We think Gigi is absolutely stunning and was far and away the very best person to star in an issue…

Exactly who are the culprits who kick-started the New Wave–y, Dynasty-tastic, monstershouldered vibe now strutting its utterly vulgar stuff around fashion? Offenders line up, please. I’d like to kiss you. There is nothing quite as weird as the megawatt electric shock of seeing the eighties being fed back into the system—at least not if you’re old enough to still have the horrors about the supposed crimes against taste committed in that decade. I ought to be one of them, having done power shoulders, gold doorknocker earrings, and white cone-heeled Maud Frizon lookalike pumps with the rest of the Voguettes back in the day. Quelle horreur, then, to witness Hedi Slimane going out with an eighties flashback to giant shoulders, clingy minis, puffball skirts, and glitzy bows at Saint Laurent? There…

Stephanie Sokolinski, the French musician and actor better known as SoKo, is having what you might call a moment. In a matter of months, the raven-haired 30-year-old—who had not one but two acclaimed films at Cannes—went from front row at Chanel’s fall show to backstage at Gucci’s resort collection, where creative director Alessandro Michele asked her to take over the brand’s Snapchat account. “She represents a big piece of this culture,” Michele says of the Dancer star. That description rings just as true when applied to the L.A.-based singer’s genre-spanning talents, and her madcap approach to clothes and makeup. SoKo mixes runway pieces with vintage, and espouses a staunch veganism that has a certain millennial ring to it. The signature smudge of burnt-rose eye pigment around her lids also happens…

Obama nostalgia is already upon us. His approval numbers keep rising, columnists praise his gravitas, and now there’s even a charming movie, Southside with You, all about the life-changing first date between the future president (Parker Sawyers) and First Lady (Tika Sump ter) in their Chicago neighborhood back in the late eighties. As they go to a museum, a community meeting, and a screening of Do the Right Thing, 28-year-old Barack Obama starts winning over the initially leery Michelle Robinson. “It was exciting to do because nobody’s seen Michelle and Barack at this age,” says Sumpter, the star of The Haves and the Have Nots (OWN), who deftly captures the 25-year-old attorney at a moment when the warmhearted strength ingrained by her family is being slightly stifled at a blue-chip…

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that Gigi Hadid, the model who may be the biggest face in fashion right now, can’t possibly have much in common with an Olympic decathlete, except for the obvious, given that Ashton Eaton is poised to be the face of the 2016 games in Brazil. A few degrees of separation, however, connect them in surprising ways, at least in a pop-cultural sense. Hadid’s fans can recite family trees and point you through marriages and remarriages and casts of reality TV, all of which link Hadid to her best friend, Kendall Jenner, who is—in case you have been living in a cave for a while—the daughter of the last really famous decathlete. Just ask Ashton Eaton about 1976, in Montreal, when Americans were high…

Sequestered on the rocky northern coast of Mallorca by a single vertiginous road, Deià has been attracting creative types in search of solace for more than a century. From the writer Robert Graves, who was first recommended the Balearic hamlet by Gertrude Stein, to Annie Lennox and her daughter Tali, a painter, to photographers Mario Sorrenti and Ellen von Unwerth, to designer Sybilla Sorondo Myelzwinska, to Kate Moss, Deiàns are universally attracted to its soft-pedaled way of life. There is no fine dining, certainly no grande dame hotel, and the town’s steadfast rusticity remains a source of pride. (As does its privacy: Sofía Sanchez de Betak, who with her husband, Alex, has a home in Deià where red wine is served on tap, regularly asks her guests not to geotag…

When British makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury started working in the fashion industry more than 20 years ago, her claim to fame was “the Tilbury tap”—a skin-prep technique involving a base of homespun moisturizer that clients asked for by its unofficial name: Magic Cream. “That’s why I was booked,” Tilbury admits, “to create dreamy skin.” Three years ago, the flame-haired face painter made it official by including the illuminating and plumping salve in her debut product range, which brought easy-to-use color kits and relatable, complete looks to her legions of fans. Key to the line’s success has been Tilbury’s mission to “bring glamour back” to beauty by channeling an unabashed femininity that she feels can be universally achieved. “When you put someone’s makeup on, you can make them look like the…

Ninety minutes south of Paris, in Saint-Jeande-Braye, I am standing in the glass-enclosed atrium of the Hélios research center as Fresh cofounders Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg lead me on a tour of their brand’s labs. There, a team of scientists carries out the duo’s renegade directive: to marry farm-grown edibles with proven efficacy. The scent of citrus is in the air—as much because of the pulverized oranges, lemons, and Corsican clementines in Fresh’s new Vitamin Nectar Mask as from the packet of Super Orange Emergen-C Roytberg has slipped me to ward off an oncoming cold. The immune-boosting tonic kick-starts a conversation on the evolution of beauty. “It’s more about wellness now, but that’s so much in the philosophy of where we came from,” Roytberg says of her and Glazman’s…

Marcus Messner (Logan Lerman), the hero of Indignation, James Schamus’s deft adaptation of Philip Roth’s novel set during the Korean War, is a nice Jewish kid from Newark who gets a scholarship to college in Ohio. Although eager to get along, he soon finds himself falling for a troubled WASP beauty (Sarah Gadon) and battling with the dean (Tracy Letts, channeling his inner Dick Cheney). The tiniest misstep, he learns, can lead to calamity. In contrast, life is very forgiving in Morris from America, Chad Hartigan’s sweet-natured film about a thirteen-year-old African-American kid, Morris (Markees Christmas), living in Germany with his father (Craig Robinson, wonderful). Lost in translation, Morris keeps making youthful mistakes, but Hartigan gently suggests that our errors are but stops on the road to love and grace.…

Milos Raonic is swiping through his phone. We’re in a booth at a Miami steak house, picking at shrimp-and-quinoa salads, talking about athletes and writing, when he finds Kobe Bryant’s retirement poem, a love letter to basketball. “You’re a writer,” he says to me. “I want to hear your literary take.” This is typical. Not so much the poetry part as the seeking out opinions. Last year, while recovering from back spasms, the 25-year-old Canadian asked himself, “What is the stuff I like to do the least and can it help me?” One answer? Writing. Now every night Raonic, currently ranked seventh, jots down “ideas, emotions” in a leather notebook. He’s been reading books like The Art of Learning, by the chess prodigy Josh Waitzkin. Tennis is a game of…

it is early afternoon on a temperate London day when Jesse Eisenberg leaves the studio where he and his four castmates are putting the last touches on The Spoils, the play he wrote and brought from New York for a West End run. As we weave across the street for lunch at Franco Manca, an artisanal pizzeria, he keeps his shoulders pulled up toward his ears, like the wing joints of a resting bat, posing a barrage of questions as if trying to show that it is possible to be at once winsome, engaged, and ill at ease. (Last year, he gave a pitch-perfect rendition of a magazine writer at work in The End of the Tour, and it is hard to shake the feeling that he’s coming at the…

I know we’re in the thick of summer when cold pea soup is available at Diner, the restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that looks like somebody with good taste and no budget took over a dive bar and spent a lot of time getting the lighting just right. Diner opened in 1999, and when they write the history of this era of gastronomy there will be a long passage on the lasting influence of this tiny restaurant. It wasn’t the first to serve simple yet elegant food in a magnificently run-down setting, but it struck that balance with such confidence that it shaped the culinary identity of Brooklyn. The DNA spliced together by Diner has been copied by countless others and carried to the corners of the world. The menu at…

PATCH UP Inspired by the breathable silicone sheets doctors use to accelerate wound healing and prevent scarring, former model and public relations executive Gigi Howard’s SiO SkinPad’s ultra-thin patch is cut in the shape of an upsidedown bowling pin to smooth skin while sitting comfortably between the breasts.
