PEOPLE SURPRISE YOU. I was reminded of that universal fact reading this month’s cover profile of Dua Lipa, whose COVID-delayed world tour is confirming her as a dance-pop sensation, but whose offstage interests mark her as a person of uncommon curiosity and substance. “I’m always on the side of the oppressed,” she tells our writer Jen Wang—which is the kind of thing people say these days, but a passing acquaintance with Dua’s history reveals that she’s not posturing. Dua is the child of refugees—her parents fled violence in their native Kosovo under Slobodan Milošević’s tyranny—and she has launched a newsletter and podcast that cover everything from feminism to geopolitics to where to dine out in Tokyo. Dua’s sensitivity and wide-ranging interests have endeared her to a fascinating collection of friends,…

I first started going back to Moscow, the city where I was born and which I left as a child, in the summer of 1995, when I was in college. I had never seen anything like it. There were guys on the street wearing leather jackets over tracksuits. There were old ladies on the street selling their socks. My grandmother’s courtyard had become an open-air brothel—young women would line up at night and cars would come in and shine their lights on them and choose. And the people that my parents had known—academics, engineers, literary critics—had been thrown out of work and were living, many of them, in desperate poverty. I was young and carefree (though very serious), and I traveled around the country by train. I went south, to…

“After I was born, my grandmother got everything that was green. I think this one had to do with me—it reminded her of ivy leaves,” Ivy Getty says, pointing to—but not touching!—a spectacular brooch of emeralds, peridots, green garnets, zircons, and diamonds by the renowned jewelry artist Joel Arthur Rosenthal, known as JAR, displayed with 11 other JAR jewels on trays in a private room at Christie’s in Manhattan. These glittering prizes, each of which was once owned by Ivy’s grandmother Ann Getty, are set to be auctioned as the leading lights of Christie’s Magnificent Jewels auction on June 8. For jewelry aficionados, and I am one, the opportunity to view this many JARs is a once-in-a-lifetime event: Here is a multi-gem fleur-de-lis brooch with a somber shimmer evoking stained…

Isobel Yeung has maintained her composure while reporting on atrocities that some people can hardly stomach. As a Vice News correspondent, the 35-year-old London-based Yeung has covered the child brides and domestic abuse victims of the Yemeni Civil War and the decimation of women’s rights under the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan last year. “It’s possible to detach yourself in those moments,” Yeung says. Sometimes, however, “something cracks and you suddenly find yourself on the edge.” In an immersive report aired in March, Yeung laid bare the horrors in southern Ukraine in the face of a Russian army that has killed civilians and forced more than five million people to flee their homeland. In the southern port city of Mykolaiv, Yeung and a small field crew documented the stream of casualties…

Off the Grid For “In Deep” (page 98), Santiago Sierra Soler (above) went to Los Guayabos, the extraordinary ecological community on the outskirts of Guadalajara, to photograph resident Mexican model Tindi Mar. Vogue’s sustainability editor, Tonne Goodman, and the fashion director of Vogue Mexico and Latin America, Valentina Collado, provided excellent company. “Tonne pushed me in the best way possible to create beautiful images while giving me a lot of creative freedom,” Sierra Soler says. And Mar made for an inspiring subject. “We both feel the same calling to spread a conscious message, and to lead by example,” he notes. “We are both passionate about protecting nature and the preservation of our Indigenous traditions.” The photography of Peter Beard, a “big inspiration” for Sierra Soler generally, helped to inform his…

Simon Porte Jacquemus’s shows in Hawaii, Provence, and Paris have included sport-centric pieces like scuba gear, hiking boots, and swimwear, but when his models walk the Paris runways in late June, they will be playing a whole new game, so to speak: Nearly three years in the making, Jacquemus’s debut collaboration with Nike marries the designer’s love of the outdoors and his body-conscious aesthetic with Nike’s expertise in making some of the most technically advanced activewear in the world. “Sport was always super important in the Jacquemus DNA,” says Jacquemus from his Paris office, noting that his 2014 and 2015 collections were grounded by sneakers. “But as Jacquemus grew, the Jacquemus girl changed—she got heels!” he continues, with a laugh. Still, something lingered in his mind. “I always said to…

This past spring, a small group of women gathered at the Beaverbrook estate in Surrey, England, a 470-acre country idyll outside London that once received guests including Elizabeth Taylor and Ian Fleming. The sprawling property, which has become a destination for wellness programs featuring everything from lectures on traditional Chinese massage to Wim Hof’s cold plunges, had lured attendees for a women’s health retreat. The topics included abdominal massage therapy and guided talks on depleted estrogen. “This is the first time there have been so many of us,” gut-health expert Amanda Porter relayed to the group, adding the staggering statistic that nearly 1 billion women are projected to experience the onset of symptoms including hot flashes and brain fog by 2025. They are the many, the confused, the perimenopausal. “Think…

The hotel-amenities game has changed drastically over the past few years—from an introduction of pillow concierges and contactless check-ins, to hyper-curated bath products instead of stock body lotions and abrasive bar soaps. Soho House was hip to this shift more than two decades ago. Its Cowshed brand of in-house spa indulgences has offered members at the club’s 32 international locations natural, elevated hair- and body-care options since it launched in 1998. But there is little in-room recourse for a forgotten bottle of prebiotic face wash or a TSA-confiscated vitamin C– and niacinamide-spiked moisturizer, even for Soho House guests. “Our members told us they wanted high-performing skin care to meet the demands of their busy lifestyles,” says Aalish Yorke-Long, the managing director of Soho House Retail, which just began rolling out…

WHEN DANAI GURIRA was 12, growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, she auditioned before her seventh-grade class for the lead role in a play titled My Uncle Grey Bhonzo. She recited her lines and then, before taking his turn and without explanation, the boy she was up against forfeited. The experience, if not the substance of the play itself, has stayed with her: “All I remember about the play was wearing my father’s suit,” says Gurira, 44. We’re speaking one morning in early March, and she’s sitting in her sun-splashed New York apartment—so bright I had assumed she was in L.A. from my Zoom-distanced vantage—an extensive library behind her. “My father was not a big man, so somehow I guess I fit into it.” I had asked Gurira whether she had…

“The relationships I’ve created help me stay grounded, because they go beyond just fashion and working together—these people are my extended family”—ADUT AKECH “This season felt surreal to me—almost overwhelming at times, but I’ve been dreaming of walking in these shows since I was 16”—SHERRY SHI “What keeps me going? Lots of self-love, dinner with a friend, writing my feelings down—and a massage”—MONA TOUGAARD “Good models have a sense of how to carry any style—I think that’s why we shoot each other well and why we have so much fun. There’s a flow, and there’s power in the photographer understanding what it’s like to be in front of the lens, and vice versa”—GIGI HADID “I love the rush of the shows—the adrenaline running from one show to another, or when…
