I’M SO THRILLED OLIVIA WILDE is on our cover—a familiar face for a new year. In fact, when I first saw Annie Leibovitz’s otherworldly pictures of her from Palm Springs, which is the setting for her highly under wraps new film, Don’t Worry Darling, I had a sense of déjà vu. I immediately thought of Vogue’s many other portraits of Olivia, and especially the last time she was photographed—wonderfully—by Annie, with her children, for us in 2018. One of the pleasures of this job is returning to subjects and tracking the way their lives have changed. Olivia is a woman who began her career relatively young, on television—an early role was on The O.C., as our writer Alexandra Schwartz recalls in her profile—and then proved herself as a significant acting…

THE SPA AT ONE&ONLY MANDARINA, RIVIERA NAYARIT, MEXICO Among the impressive nods to low impact architecture at One & Only’s Pacific Coast location is the layout of its 27,000-square-foot spa, which was designed around a large higuera blanca (white fig tree). Like the rest of the property’s 105 freestanding villas that have been built into the bluffs or sit above the tree canopy on stilts, the spa, which is situated in a volcanic rock garden, follows the natural landscape utilizing local clay, cumaru wood, and stone extracted from the site itself. Much of its menu has been designed in homage to the healing traditions of the area’s indigenous Cora and Huichol cultures, including its main attraction: a traditional temazcal. The Mayan sweat lodge combines medicinal herbs, heat, steam, and copal…

On Location: Jordan “It was important for Eddie and me to shoot this story on location, and for that location to be tied into a wider climate conversation,” says Poppy Kain, a fashion director at British Vogue and the editor behind “World to the Wise” (page 68), a portfolio featuring the work of 10 designers focused on sustainability. So she and photographer Eddie Wrey headed to the salt flats of the Dead Sea, a site under imminent danger due to climate change. (At present, scientists say it’s shrinking at a rate of three-plus feet per year.) It was also a plainly beautiful backdrop for beautiful clothing, and to cap off a glorious two-day shoot Kain, Wrey, models Imaan Hammam and He Cong, and the rest of their group enjoyed a…

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, at a Boston trade show, a woman carrying a pile of quilts caught John Derian’s eye. The patterns were so captivating that he followed her and insisted on an introduction to the creative mind behind them: Jeanette Farrier, a one-time costume designer who transitioned into handmade beddings and soft goods produced with the help of a women’s collective in Mayurhat, India. Farrier happened to be on a lunch break when Derian arrived, so the two didn’t actually meet then and there, but the connection was formed. “I was so excited that he had visited my stand and purchased some throws,” Farrier remembers. “It was love at first sight,” Derian says of the eventual union. Now, Farrier and Derian—best known for his impeccably curated stores selling decoupage, crockery,…

Ireland’s Lismore Castle, built in 1185 on the site of a seventh-century monastery, lays claim to being one of the most romantically sited places in a country where myth and magic lurk at every turn. The castle crests a craggy hill commanding a view of a bright, rain-fed green valley, while in the distance, the mist-shrouded Knockmealdown Mountains loom. Sir Walter Raleigh was once a tenant, and Robert Boyle, heralded as the “father of modern chemistry,” was born here in 1627, but the castle’s destiny changed in the mid–18th century, when it was included in the dowry that the fabulously wealthy Lady Charlotte Boyle brought to her marriage with the Marquess of Hartington, future fourth Duke of Devonshire. It was their grandson, the sixth “Bachelor Duke,” a great collector, builder,…

I spent the first pandemic fall living alone in a mobile home park by the beach in Malibu, where leathery older men watered their small patches of lawn and I learned to drive a golf cart—the local form of transport—to and from the supermarket. It often broke down and had to be pushed, but I have never driven a car, and so it still felt like freedom. I had a funny feeling of peace as I looked out on the Pacific Coast Highway, as if these were my last days of silence and I should burrow in as deep as I could. I napped a lot to the sound of speeding cars and held my dog to my chest, engaging in an ornate fantasy that we were the last women…

It’s a shining late September morning in Los Angeles and Olivia Wilde is sitting, cross-legged, in front of a bunch of bare butts. Male butts, to be exact: smooth and shapely and dripping with water as the men they belong to emerge from a swimming pool in the black-and-white photograph that is on the wall of her sunny living room. “This is how we want them,” Wilde deadpans from her perch on a mustard-colored velvet sofa. Wilde, who has spent her nearly two-decade-long acting career as an object of male veneration, knows a thing or two about the rewards, and the risks, of being subjected to a prurient, if admiring, gaze. She can count, among her myriad accomplishments, winning the “hottest Olivia” accolade in Spike TV’s Guys Choice Awards in…

By Walid, UNITED KINGDOM Walid al Damirji structured his brand By Walid around a single principle: no waste. “It would be disrespectful otherwise,” the designer says of the antique textiles like curtains, vintage clothing, and tapestries that he transforms into romantic blouses, jackets, and even homewares like pillows and quilts. When it comes to finding these materials, al Damirji says, “I leave no stone unturned—auctions, vintage fairs, car boot sales—you name it!” His deep care made him one of the first in the luxury fashion industry to take upcycling and sustainability seriously.—STEFF YOTKA Mozh Mozh, PERU Mozhdeh Matin launched her label in 2015, she explains, to “work with local artisans and preserve their techniques.” She was motivated by the concept of a circular economy, and indeed, her colorful and traditionally…
