Spring 2023 was one of the most boundary-pushing seasons in recent memory, and the spring fashion issue you hold in your hands is a celebration of the inventiveness we saw on runways around the world. To bring the magic of the season onto the page, we called on a host of top-tier talents: Mario Sorrenti photographs our cover star Gigi Hadid; Ezra Petronio and Anastasia Barbieri take us on a trip to ’70s Paris; Brigitte Niedermair and Karen Langley rev things up with the motocross trend; Christian MacDonald and ELLE Fashion Director Alex White showcase the new “soft power” dressing against the rainy backdrop of New York City streets; Sharif Hamza and White bring a punk twist to the season’s lingerie motifs; and Richie Shazam and the legendary Patti Wilson…

Broccoli dangling from a chain. Sickly-sweet pearlescent flowers. A miniature house hanging from a handle. These random assortments of art objects are the latest lineup of conversation pieces in fashion. Just look at Gucci’s mesmerizing Gizmo and crystal-covered bear charms—not meant to be adored from afar or sit on a shelf, but to be worn with expressive impact. Novelty is thriving. Lately, fashion is being filtered through an absurdist lens, and in a world that seems to have hit peak luxury, nothing feels more joyful than wearing a bag that doesn’t take itself so seriously. Who would have thought the most in-demand clutch of the season would resemble a literal pigeon? Designer Jonathan Anderson’s 3D-printed version of the city-dwelling bird has been seen on street-style stars and donned by one…

With famous fans from Elizabeth Taylor (who wore a Bulgari bracelet in a publicity still for Cleopatra) to Charlize Theron, Bulgari’s Serpenti range is arguably its most iconic. Influenced by ancient design motifs, the Roman firm’s articulated snake jewelry has become both a symbol of change and of the strong women who have worn it since the late 1940s. Over the decades, Bulgari has embellished its signature serpents with everything from enamelwork to precious stones and placed the snake’s head on everything from timepieces to handbags, firmly cementing its status as a house hallmark alongside the eight-point Condotti star. To mark the 75th anniversary of the range, Bulgari is introducing a necklace, ring, earrings, and bracelet that pay tribute to the pallini technique developed by the jeweler in the 1950s.…

STYLING TIP The abbreviated silhouette is made for layering over delicate lingerie. Keep things casual with a low heel.…

Nice skin has always meant one thing—perfection. And that’s also meant a never-ending number of ways to chase it. While some have genetics to thank (can we call that nepo skin?), others have sought out filters, lasers, and skin care routines requiring their own spreadsheets. In our quest for “nice skin,” we’ve indulged in some not-nice skin behaviors—picking at our blemishes; overusing burning facial toners and damaging our skin barrier; and fiercely judging our skin for not always being flawless. But lately, I’ve been noticing actual, genuine niceness in how people treat their skin and in how brands talk about it. The usage of the word antiaging now inspires debate, rather than a resigned cringe. Our pimples have a new wardrobe of Hello Kitty, rainbow star, or flower patches. There’s…

Kali Uchis is in love. This tracks: The 28-year-old’s music has always been seductive, or, shall we say, vibey, gliding effortlessly between soul, bossa nova, reggaeton, and groove. (Put another way, hers are the kind of songs you can imagine kids in 16 or so years learning that they were conceived to.) You likely know “Telepatía,” even if you don’t know that you know it. The earworm has been played on Spotify more than 750,000,000 times at last count. When it bounced Bad Bunny and Jhay Cortez’s “Dákiti” from the top of Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart in 2021, it was the first time a song by a female soloist without an accompanying act had claimed the number one spot in nearly a decade. Uchis’s newest album, the sultry Red…

Julia Fox is done with men. No, really, she’s had it. She is not dating, she isn’t having sex, she has no desire to be intimate with anyone. “I want to be left alone,” she says, in her punctuated vocal fry. “Like, don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, don’t bother me.” She’s not just talking about men she’s had relationships with—although you can make your own assumptions about one of her recent exes. This is about men at large. Men who, according to Fox, don’t recognize their privilege. Men with fragile notions of their masculinity. Men who are deadbeat dads, and male politicians who make the kinds of policy decisions that leave single mothers to struggle. She’s talking about men who expect women to carry the emotional burden…

Hailey Bieber presumably has access to every piece of designer clothing she could possibly want. Yet when given the opportunity to flex her design skills, she skipped the sequins and ball gowns and instead dreamed up double-breasted overcoats, long-sleeve tees, and pleated trousers. Her capsule collection with Wardrobe.NYC came about because even she felt like she was missing “forever go-to essentials,” as she told Net-a-Porter. It’s not just Bieber. Many in her cohort—like Kendall Jenner, Emma Chamberlain, and Kaia Gerber, as well as plenty of non-celebrities—have been drawn to wardrobe staples from contemporary, minimalist brands created in the past decade, such as Anine Bing, Toteme, The Frankie Shop, and Raey. They’re doing big business, too, with The Frankie Shop pulling in over $40 million in 2022 net sales and 100…

Rainbows typically don’t originate from beneath a bridge—but makeup artist Yadim made it happen at Marni’s colorful spring 2023 show, held in Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood. He painted the lids and foreheads of a handful of models in sky blues, tangerines, and crisp whites, bringing the aura makeup trend out of experimental teen TV show makeup trailers and into high fashion. “We’re seeing this trend of aura-like beauty, once very organic and painterly, now being expressed in a very fluid way,” says makeup artist and formulator Danessa Myricks, who is known for her eponymous line’s long-lasting and vivid color cosmetics. “Achieving this look in real life can be as simple as extending your blush tones beyond the cheek, upward through the temple.” This can be done with a single shade, or…

Despite being one of fashion’s buzziest couples, you won’t find Batsheva Hay and photographer husband Alexei Hay hosting Fashion Month parties in some downtown loft. Instead, the creative duo enjoys a quieter lifestyle on New York City’s Upper West Side, where the focus is on family and faith—with fashionable flourishes. Hay, a former attorney raised in Queens, found her calling in 2016 when she debuted her eponymous line of modest (in silhouette only) dresses, influenced by Hasidic and prairie styles and Victoriana. The colorful frocks count Sarah Jessica Parker and Maude Apatow as fans. In late 2020, Hay branched out into home goods, partnering with an upholsterer to give vintage furniture (and Hay’s collection of decorator fabrics) a second life. Some of the pieces have found their way into her…

Dyani, you’re an artist, and one of these years you’re going to believe me,” Dyani White Hawk’s mother would say as she saw her daughter constantly drawing and crafting in her youth. “Creating has just always been my favorite thing to do,” says the multidisciplinary visual artist. “I remember being young and going to a museum and seeing an abstract painting. I had no idea what it was; I just remember seeing it and craving it, and being like, ‘Whatever that is, I want to do that.’” Decades later, with works in the Museum of Modern Art and the National Museum of the American Indian, White Hawk has very much become the artist her mother foresaw. Her artwork, which includes painting, sculpture, installation, performance, video, and photography, is shaped by…

It wasn’t until James Joyce left Ireland that he wrote Ulysses and Dubliners, classics that embed themselves in the topography of his island home. He did so, says Jonathan Anderson, “via not being there, but meticulously being there,” tracing Dublin’s streets like a palm reader delineating not the future, but the past. Sometimes, Anderson says, “you have to run away from something to appreciate it.” Anderson himself grew up splitting time between Northern Ireland and Ibiza. “The great thing about an island is you want to get out,” he says. Having the Troubles as the backdrop to your childhood, “you realize you take everything for granted. Everything can be very fragile,” he recalls now, running a rope-braceleted wrist through his tousled dirty-blonde hair. At the same time, “It’s so beautiful.…

What happens to fashion when it’s sprinkled with a puff of pixie dust? The house of Etro, synonymous with finely tailored caftans, layers of paisley chiffon, and billowing beach ensembles, was long the wardrobe for high-toned hippies traveling the world. But with Marco De Vincenzo, the brand’s first creative director from outside the Etro family, the Italian fashion house is going on a very different journey—a trip to a dream world of the designer’s own imagination. “My vision has always been about fairy-tale fashion,” says De Vincenzo, surrounded by racks of his hallucinogenic-print creations at the brand’s Milan headquarters. His method? Start with the familiar and warp it into something more chimerical, and more startling. Case in point: a clog transformed from humble to fantastical with a towering platform and…

When Kate Moss made a surprise appearance on Bottega Veneta’s spring 2023 runway, perhaps the biggest shock was what she was wearing. The icon who launched a thousand Pinterest boards had traded her glam It Girl ensembles for simple, oversize jeans and a Kurt Cobain–worthy flannel-print shirt. The moment turned out to be a trend indicator of sorts, as the season hummed with white undershirts, reimagined denim (rendered in leather at Bottega Veneta or comically oversize at Vaquera), and quirky dad caps on street-style stars. Welcome to the new era of normcore—and all the 2010s nostalgia that comes with it. We’ve been living in a period of maximalist fashion during the pandemic, and now that more-is-more approach is starting to rub off on even the humblest of garments for spring.…

Cindy Crawford. Christy Turlington. Naomi Campbell. The bouncy blowouts of the ’90s—and of the era’s most popular supermodels—are the latest nostalgia-based beauty inspiration. Sleek, brushed-back blowouts and super-high topknots with thick, face-framing tendrils were seen on countless runway models this season. Regardless of which style you choose, you need volume, baby. “Beauty looks are recycled every decade or so,” says Tamika Gibson, owner of The Hair Diagram and head hairstylist at Sergio Hudson’s spring 2023 show, which featured teased hair. Beyond the supers, Gibson had Robin Givens as Jacqueline in Boomerang on her moodboard. What makes this trend firmly planted in 2023 is that you can have body with movement—no hair-sprayed helmets. Celebrity and TRESemmé Global Stylist Justine Marjan, who recently styled similar looks on Ashley Graham and Ella Balinska,…

THERE’S NO NEED to introduce Rihanna to you. Instead, let me fill you in on what she’s been up to: caring for her new baby boy, headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show (her first live performance since 2018), and continuing to release sell-out-within-minutes pieces with Savage x Fenty and Fenty Beauty. While the promise of a new album has yet to be confirmed (please, God), here’s Rihanna, in her own words, on traveling, life as a new mom, and her favorite product to look extra-alive. On motherhood and beauty “Becoming a mother has only added to the inspiration in my life. I’ve had to find the balance between an efficient routine that maximizes precious ‘me’ time and full glam, because I really enjoy that colorful creative process.”…

This is not how Elizabeth Chambers thought it would work out. In 2020, her decade-long marriage to actor Armie Hammer ended and, well, let’s just say it, six months later he was called out for having cannibalistic fetishes, among a host of other allegations. “Yeah, welcome to my life,” Chambers says now. On a chilly morning in November, Chambers and I meet at the Beverly Hills Hotel Polo Lounge, where Kim Kardashian and Ivanka Trump dined a few weeks earlier. Even among the glitterati, Chambers stands out in lace-up Frame heels, a cranberry Ganni minidress, and a gold initial-E Celine necklace. “Thanks, lovely!” she tells our waiter, flashing a smile as he sets down a heaping plate of lemon-blueberry ricotta pancakes. Chambers looks ready for the runway in full glam,…
