all will always and forever represent a time of new possibilities. Whether you spent the summer recharging your batteries on a beach somewhere or sought inspiration wandering the streets of a far-flung destination, autumn is the ideal opportunity to present the world with the “new you.”

A change of season always delivers new ideas, new silhouettes, and new ways to announce our personalities before we even utter a word. In this issue, we explore some of these concepts and take them for a spin. Whether it’s testing out an array of fresh color combinations (pg. 106), adding a touch of toughness to a look (pg. 136), or even bringing a beatnik sensibility to the boardroom (pg. 154), we’ve got you covered. On pg. 162, photographers Andoni + Arantxa delve deeper into how blurred the line of gendered clothing has become. And, as always, we took to the land and sky to create ethereal editorials to keep you inspired.

I’m sure our cover star can also attest to what it’s like being the next generation of a well-known clan — pitfalls and all. After carving out a respectable acting career for the better part of the past 15 years, Nicola Peltz Beckham (pg. 81) married into one of the world’s most famous families. Dogged by online trolls and the ceaseless rumor-mill, Ms. Peltz Beckham disarmingly takes it all in stride. She’s strong, smart, and charming, and top designers and famed directors alike adore her. And, honestly, with friends like that, who cares what the haters have to say?

Ultimately, isn’t inspiration what it’s all about? When putting together this issue, we kept returning to the question of what moves us most? Is it designers dropping dreamy new seasonal collections (pg. 116), or athletic labels stretching into the lifestyle space (pg. 198)? Or,

I’m personally captivated by the next generation of entertainers and activists who are making waves and demanding our attention. Take Amanda Seyfried (pg. 146), for instance. She discusses how she made some pretty unorthodox changes in her life that may have helped her land that recent Emmy. Gen Z “It Girl” Iris Apatow (pg. 116) talks to us about how, after years in the entertainment industry, she’s finally stepping out from the long shadow cast by her über-talented family.

WELCOME TO THE NEXT GEN

My first experience with this fresh-start mindset can be traced all the way to my grade school years, when back-to-school shopping for new clothes was always an end-of-summer highlight. How much more “me” could I become that year? Sure, preppy was perfectly fine for most kids in suburbia, but I caught the fashion bug early on. Was there any hope of talking my mom into buying me just a little bit of Gaultier?

rather, is it the idea of “what’s next” that gets us going? For some it could be the most cutting-edge architecture (pg. 232), or a luxury hotel brand’s latest offering in an already impressive portfolio (pg. 246).

rom the moment she arrived at New York City’s Industria Superstudio with her stunning ex-model mom, Claudia, and doting new husband, Brooklyn, by her side, Nicola Peltz Beckham was in the zone for the GRAZIA USA cover shoot. Despite a jam-packed schedule (she walked a New York Fashion Week show the evening before and had to shoot a new campaign the next day), the actress gladly stayed on set into the wee hours of the morning to get the most amazing shots. She was collaborative, dedicated and professional — the picture-perfect complement to GRAZIA’s superstar team that included photographer Jason Kim and stylist Karen Levitt (left).

After five years of medical studies, Thomas gave it all up to live out her dream of becoming a photo stylist. She enrolled in the renowned Berçot Studio in Paris and eventually made a name for herself at fashion magazines in London and France, where she now lives and works.

The Korean American fashion photographer grew up in Chicago and was influenced by the architecture he encountered in his everyday life. Now based in New York City, Kim uses a formalist point of view, with sensitive lighting and a sharp minimalist approach, to create timeless and iconic imagery.

Fall is the most beautiful and exciting time of year. The change of seasons marks the beginning of a fresh start — and a new wave of inspiring fashion. In this issue, we take a closer look at iconic brands and explore the latest trends on the rise, including grunge with a dash of glam (Borrowed from the Boys, page 162). We also pay tribute to the Next Generation of designers and talent breathing new life into an ever-evolving industry, from Fendi muse Iris Apatow and actress Amanda Seyfried to GRAZIA USA cover star Nicola Peltz Beckham. Enjoy the issue and revel in everything the season has to offer!

PETER SOM

me in the fifth grade. At that point, I already knew what I wanted to do — start a fashion line. I was a very shy child, and I was always drawing, especially pictures of my mother. That eventually evolved into sketching her clothes. But then a family trip to Paris as a kid made that dream feel like it could be a reality. While there, my sister bought and French Vogue. Those publications opened a magical door to fashion with a capital F. While being inspired by the pages of the magazines, I thought: “By the time I’m 30, I will start my own Turningline.”30 holds a certain level of symbolism when you’re a child. It felt like an age when people have everything figured out. Even though, as you grow up, you learn that you might not. Despite coming to that realization, I still was able to reach my goal of having my own collection by 30. In order to make that childhood dream a reality, I had to combine strategy, work ethic and instincts. There are a lot of unexpected turns on this path, but every step and misstep offers an opportunity to learn.

y journey as entrepreneuranbegins with

As my marquee evolves, there are steps into turning all of my ideas into something tangible. With attempting to turn an idea into something real — whether that be a dress or a dish — my parents were the perfect example. As architects they were able to talk to someone, develop a blueprint and build a house. In my eyes, my work requires me to take the same type of leap. There’s a lot of trial and error when you’re creating and growing your own business, but the more you can get on paper the better the execution will be.

I’ve learned a lot throughout my career and with developing my own brand. My approach to entrepreneurship parallels my design process and creating a recipe. There’s a lot of thought put into it. Whether it’s clothing on the rack or food being plated, it has to look great and make people feel good.

Balancing the daily grind still requires an opportunity to escape. I value having the ability to step away from my phone and disengage with social media. It can be a challenge because it’s become incorporated into the world we live in, but the break is so incredibly refreshing.

When I first started my line, retailers were very clear about the fact that the clothing had to stand

I genuinely enjoy the silence and being in my apartment. It’s become a form of mediation, along with acupuncture. That, however, I can’t do myself, but it helps me feel centered and helps me exhale. AS TOLD TO KAT TINSLEY

While trying to live in the moment, I still want to continue to work in the food space and expand my brand. Within the next five years, I see Peter Som growing and encompassing everything under the lifestyle umbrella. I still work in fashion because I will never leave the fashionista inside of me. I still have my collection with Rent the Runway, and it’s ongoing. But Peter Som the brand will continue

While reflecting on the development process, it’s also the foundation for what’s to come. I think about what’s next in this professional journey a lot. I’m working on so many different things, and I love what I’m doing. I’m focused on broadening what I do and how I communicate it.

While building Peter Som into a lifestyle brand I’m partnering with Simply Organics, and I’m excited about it. With balancing the culinary and fashion worlds at once, there are a variety of things happening at the same time. For example, my Rent the Runway collection will launch this fall while I am working on my collaboration with Simply Organics.

out. My work in the culinary world is similar because we eat with our eyes. I want to make things people want to either eat or wear again. I have a creative approach to everything that I do. When I was younger, I prioritized placing my energy towards the end goal and figuring out what’s next. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to live in the present. I’ve embraced living in the now and just saying, “Okay, this is cool.”

started working around 2008 at Marie Claire, and while there I became interested in sustainable fashion. I ended up writing a monthly column called “Good Fashion,” which focused on my favorite brands and the sustainable fashion space, including the movements and trends that were happening. It wasn’t a super-hot topic at the time, and it’s definitely been a journey from there.

which I launched four years ago. I call it my second job. I have loved animals my whole life, and when I found out my dog was from a puppy mill, I had to do something about it. My nonprofit focuses on animal welfare and the environment. With WELL/BEINGS, we want to explain to animal lovers that it’s important to protect a species — not just because we want to save the species but also because it protects us and it protects the natural environment. We try to highlight interconnection and offer beach clean-ups too. People really want to be a part of that, especially now after the pandemic, but they don’t always know how to get involved, so we offer these opportunities.

With both jobs, they’re my passion projects, and so I kind of forget they’re my occupation. I actually care about what I am doing.

I would hope that in terms of sustainable fashion, it’s not talked about as a trend anymore. It’s simply that we’re talking about the fashion industry because everything will have sustainability embedded in it in some way, shape or Iform.also have a charity called WELL/BEINGS,

I definitely don’t have a plan. I really had no idea initially of what I wanted to do, but I was always talking a lot about fashion and animal welfare, and the more you put those ideas out into the universe, the more it comes to you. That’s sort of how my career path has gone. Right now, I’m living in Europe, which was very unexpected. You can’t really plan too far ahead — a lot of unexpected things can happen and you just have to roll with it. The good part is that you learn a lot, including how to adapt and be

I really like visiting Norway since my husband is from there. The energy is very calm there, and they are very ahead of the curve when it comes to sustainability, not only in fashion, but in other industries. It’s fun to see where my husband is from and how certain people grow up so differently. It’s been such a cool opportunity to learn about that area of the world, and I am honestly pretty down to live anywhere. You learn a lot through travel in Ultimately,general.my goal is to have a profitable company, but we have a mission behind our company. In order to push sustainability, we have to share our knowledge and work together, and I hope that I am doing that with both Maison de Mode and WELL/BEINGS. In the end, I hope we help change the industry — and move with the industry.

In terms of my nonprofit, I hope we see organic growth and that we can have some sort of impact, which is why I started it — to feel like

While working at the magazine, I met my partner, Hassan Pierre, who had his own sustainable fashion brand. We ended up doing some sustainable fashion pop-ups together, which eventually became our brand, Maison de Mode.

The tastemaker turned her passion for promoting sustainable fashion and helping animals into two jobs — and she’s making a change in both worlds

We started doing these one-off pop-ups around America — from Washington, D.C. to Miami and San Francisco, and we did about 13 in total. When we first started, we had maybe six brands, and it was challenging to find them because the product had to be aesthetically pleasing and sustainable. Now we have hundreds of brands that we work with, so it’s very cool to see that change in a relatively short period of time. We have ready-to-wear accessories, shoes and jewelry, and there’s so many things we could bring on. I personally think beauty would be really interesting to get into. It’s something I don’t know as much about as fashion, but the natural, sustainable beauty movement is very big right now, and I think it would make sense to start going in that direction.

It was the King and I, and I didn’t have any lines, but I loved the vibe and culture around the theater.

My writing partner and I then started a sketch comedy troupe, which was called Cleo’s Apartment, and it was a success — not financially, of course, but we sold out every show. We were doing it at this theater on Santa Monica Boulevard and people were coming out to see us every weekend, and it was great. We still weren’t getting the parts we wanted, so we had to create our own opportunities. We ended up making our own material, and we eventually got hired by HBO and AOL when they had a joint venture back in the

For four years, I kept doing plays, and when I graduated college, I had to figure out what I was going to do. In my third year, I definitely knew I wasn’t going to be a doctor, but rather, I wanted to play one.

I want to be part of the wave which empowers people who make films to have more ownership of their art. I try to make sure my work speaks for itself. Who knows what the future holds, but I’m optimistic. Not only do I get to satisfy that academic part of my brain to create content and think of cool shows, but I also get to empower writers and performers — and still indulge in acting from time to time.

I just wanted to be an actor since writing was something that I enjoyed, but I never thought I would pursue it professionally. When I first went to Hollywood and transitioned from being a production assistant to a full-time actor, I wasn’t getting the parts I wanted. Instead, I linked up with my writing partner, and we got together with a bunch of people and put together a sketch comedy show.

I think that you have to be really purposeful and really focused. There’s that amazing quote “Luck is where preparation meets opportunity,” and I think that I’ve always been as prepared as I could possibly be when an opportunity arises. The best advice I’ve heard is so boring but it’s really important: Make a decision and move on. You’re going to make good decisions and bad decisions, and sometimes, especially as a woman, you can be paralyzed by the thought “What if I get this wrong?” Look, you’re going to win some, you’re going to lose some. The most important thing is that you keep moving forward. Making a decision and moving on is a really important piece of advice for a business owner, and in life, because you’ve got to keep it moving.

I’m extremely planned in life. I always look to the future and think: “What is going to make me happy when I’m 45? Where do I want to be?” And then once I figure that out, I map it out. I believe in luck, but I don’t believe in accidents.

years ago, I started investing in start-up companies and wanted to help Black women who don’t get anywhere near the size of investment that they deserve.

I didn’t know [Good American co-founder] Khloé Kardashian before I came up for the idea for the brand. I thought of Khloé as somebody who was incredibly confident. She’s so outspoken and gave off that image of “I’m happy with me.” When I pitched the idea to Khloé, she really understood the customer, understood what it was like not to fit a sample size, and wanted to make it better for everybody.

’ve always wanted to work in fashion, and I knew very early on that it wouldn’t be as a creative. I always saw myself as somebody who would help enable other creative people. I started out as a fashion show producer and then worked in marketing and PR. My first break came when I was in my mid-20s. I started the entertainment marketing agency ITB Worldwide and worked with celebrity talent to strengthen brands’ credibility. I started to understand how businesses that were backed by celebrity influence were really starting to make big moves.

– AS TOLD TO COLLEEN KRATOFIL

I found myself at this odd point where I was being asked to project an image of diversity or inclusivity for a fashion brand, but the reality was that the company looked nothing like that from the inside. Plus, the clothing never actually worked for the women they were bringing in for campaigns. Naively or not, I just thought, “I think I can do this better myself.” That’s how Good American was born. I saw this huge opportunity to really create a truly inclusive fashion brand, where the products would work for all women of all body types. It was looking around at what wasn’t happening and figuring out how to do it.

I have good days and bad days, like anybody else, and I work really, really hard. My job inevitably crosses over into my life, and I’m fine with that. To say that I’m not constantly busy or inundated with work would just be to tell a lie. For me, it’s really important to try to dispel some of the myths and try to make people aware of what it takes.

I think I was a little bit too focused on winning awards when I was younger, and as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more obsessed with the journey and the experience of the process. In the last few years, I’ve been lucky enough to be surrounded by people who’ve inspired me and pushed me to be so much better.

— not because I want to walk away from acting, but because of the sheer volume of things I have in development right now. My production company, Apartment 3C, has expanded and we have several things coming down the pipeline.

Acting will always be my first love. I love being able to just completely dive into a character and build something. There’s something freeing about being an actor, but when I am producing and directing, it’s sort of the opposite — it’s as if this big picture is completely in your hands. The most exciting part is the collaboration, that time when you feel the creative heartbeat of a full team of people who are all coming together to create something beautiful.

I was very lucky and had an incredibly supportive boss who was constantly working on my schedule so that I could go and direct and come back and be on a show. Going forward, hopefully I can find some moments where I can sneak in some acting as well.

My goal right now is to find my next feature. I’m focusing on finding pilots that I really believe in and that I can be part of in a big way — not just doing an episode or two, but helping set the visual style of the show.

In the next couple of years, I am going to lean heavier into producing and directing

When I first moved out to Los Angeles, I directed several small productions, and I really enjoyed that. While I wanted to pursue that path, I was simultaneously pursuing my acting career. Once I started working on Fox’s medical drama House, there wasn’t any time to do anything but be on the show, so I put my directing career on hold while I worked consistently as an actor.

I then put my first feature together, which was a crazy process. I learned so much from working on it and we later sold it to Netflix. From there, it was off to the races.

Actors who cross over into directing and producing can influence many more people to believe they can as well. I looked at someone like Angelina Jolie, and I said, “Oh, she’s an actor who is now directing.” I think we all need examples of people who have done it before us, and I think the more of us who do it, the more people will go, “Oh, wait, maybe I can.” I want people to know you can’t get discouraged because it’s hard. I definitely have had people come up to me and say, “I never would’ve thought to ask to direct an episode of my show, and then I realized maybe that was possible.”

I had been learning a lot about the technical side of things while starring in Once Upon a Time, and I was really looking to get back into direction. I would even take my favorite films with me when I would travel for work and was on location. I really started to study film and break things down into what I loved and what I didn’t love, and I was reading every book and asking tons of questions while on set. I started using sets as my film school and was very lucky to be surrounded by incredible cinematographers and incredible first assistant directors, script supervisors and key grips.

One of Us Is Lying. It was the first time I felt the real exhilaration of being plugged into a big machine and the excitement of being a collaborator in the creative process from a producing standpoint.

It was at that point that I decided to make my first short film and experiment with being a filmmaker for the first time. That’s when I made Warning Labels, which luckily went well. I felt super alive working as a filmmaker and that started my interest in pursuing other genres, including music videos.

other people’s art, old and new. I used to go to coffee shops or restaurants and order a coffee or a glass of wine and sit there and read. I’d bring lit mags, short story collections, and non-fiction articles. I’d have a varied reading list and things to watch that came from different genres so I could feel inspired on multiple levels. If I don’t have the chance to do that, I start to feel like I’m recycling myself in a way that doesn’t feel fresh.

My biggest fear is if I don’t have enough time to watch, listen, and read other people’s art.

Writing short stories has always been my biggest dream. But I had this non-fiction best seller in Three Women, and then I had a novel, and then a short story collection. So sometimes I wonder if people are like, “Oh, now she’s just trying to do short stories,” when really, I have always been doing short stories. Something I find interesting is that you can have success in one thing as a woman, but if you find success in something else as well, someone is going to think you’re trying to get one over on them. It’s so outdated and judgmental and ridiculous. My short stories are something that I’ve worked on my whole life and something I care about verySomeonemuch.

I can’t even wrap my head around why you would want to control a human that has nothing to do with your world — it’s abhorrent. It is the most offensive thing to me, but it’s a symptom of the larger feeling of wanting to control another person. People are afraid of their lives changing, so they want to control someone else’s life to stop that. People judge. They’re going to judge you, no matter what you do, even if you do everything right.

My favorite time of day is in the evening after I’ve put my kid to bed, and I can go back to writing when there’s fewer emails coming through. I can just write late at night alone. Those are my favorite times to work. That’s how I escape from the grind. Writing is still my biggest catharsis and, honestly, it’s short stories that I turn to when I’m wanting to explore something in my own head.

Seeing my work transform from the page to the screen has been really cool, but a lot of that joy is edged with a little worrying about the real people seeing themselves, especially with Three Women. They’ve already read about themselves in the book. One of them is a consultant on the Showtime show and I’ve flown her out to watch her story being told.

I’m a neurotic Capricorn, so I would tell stories to my stuffed animals. When I learned how to write, I wrote lots of poems and short stories and I illustrated them.

If I could wave a magic wand, I would make people not want to control anybody else. Wanting control based around fear is what’s happening on a larger scale with Roe v. Wade.

creative world. You can work on something your whole life and then it can just end. It feels like if something like that happens, there are other forms I can go into.

Standing up for what’s right for you and being okay with being judged because you’re going to be judged anyway is probably my best advice.

I’m writing a book about grief that I haven’t fully gotten into yet, because Three Women is still in post-production. That’s my next big thing, and then I have adaptations. I’m in a great position where if something drops off, there is something else. I feel super fortunate because that’s one of the hardest things about the

once asked me, “Did you just write a bunch of these after the success of Three Women?” It’s weird to me that people don’t do research before they make judgments. It doesn’t make me upset. It just makes me confused, frankly. Another thing I find wild in the writing world, specifically, is when people say, “Oh, that was a risk.” A risk is performing brain surgery and deciding to do something a little different one day. Taking a risk with words on a page and how you present an idea is not a risk that someone should be talked about for. I think that art is all about risk, but “risk” shouldn’t be the word. It should be expansion or exploration.

When we launch a new product, there’s a very real and disciplined internal conversation. We ask, “Is this an additive? Is this just a trend? Are we giving people really something new? Do we really need it?” We would never create anything superfluous or mimic a preexisting formula. Everything is developed in-house within our biochemists, and ideas can come from me, my team, my followers. We’re continually investing

don’t think many people know this, but I had my first company right out of college. I was buying American licenses of different fashion brands and sublicensing in Asia. After I got married, I had a baby and realized I really didn’t want to go back to work right away, so I started Bag Snob. That was 17 years ago, and back then blogging was a way to be creative because I love beauty and fashion. It really evolved into influencing and beauty ambassadorships, and then into designing my own lines of handbags, denim and jewelry. But I’ve been skincare-obsessed my whole life, so that was always my first passion.Spending years as a beauty influencer, editor, and brand ambassador gave me access to the best of the beauty world. It also made me realize that there needed to be a more streamlined, yet effective approach because cosmetic confusion was such a real thing. At one point I had a 15-step skincare day and night routine, leaving me tired and stressed with increasingly irritated skin to the point where my dermatologist told me, “You’ve got to stop whatever you’re doing. You’re using your face as a science project.” I started asking, “Can I just cut out the first seven steps and combine them all into one?” And everyone kept saying no. But I just kept asking because I don’t like being told no. Finally, one night I caught up with a longtime friend’s wife, who was seasoned in the skincare industry, and she said yes. She became my business partner and our Resurfacing Compound replaced seven of my products and became our OG item.

I don’t hesitate. I’m unafraid and I think that’s a trait that a lot of entrepreneurs share. U Beauty felt right from the beginning. I wish I could say, “Oh I map out everything. I’m so strategic.” But I’m just as surprised by anyone else by my career path. When I started blogging there wasn’t a map to follow, I had to blaze my own trail, and I think that taught me so much. I’ve always been an oversharer and I post what’s really happening in my life. I think that’s one of the reasons I’m still around. Out of all the bloggers back in 2005, I think only Bryanboy and I are still around, because we are who we are. We really were sharing parts of our lives that we hoped people found interesting and not so orchestrated.Ibelieveif you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. When I’m asked about work-life balance, no other question gives me more anxiety because I love my work and I really don’t feel the need to escape. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with my emails and calls, and I’ll turn off, but I like being connected. If I really want to chill and relax, I love massages. If I have to take a work trip, the minute I land, I get a massage. But it’s not about escaping. I just think, “Why do you want to escape? That’s somebody who hates their job, right?” I love what I do.

I’ve always hoped for a career that’s fulfilling and lucrative and fun, and so I’m so lucky. Every day I’m so grateful. I have so much fun. If there’s just one person left watching, I’ll keep doing this.

I love creating something that will make the world a better place. I think the challenge I’m dealing with right now is managing all of it. I have Attire, which is my number one priority, and then I have Instagram and TikTok. It’s three full-time jobs, basically. I hope there’s not another form of social media coming soon! But overall, I really, really enjoy it. I think the reason I pivoted into all these areas so organically is because I was listening to what makes me happy and what I enjoy doing and not forcing myself into something. I could have stuck with my finance path that I envisioned very clearly, but I was listening to what I enjoyed doing at theYearstime.later, I still love social media. But I started for different reasons than a lot of people start nowadays. I get a lot of messages from people who ask, “I want to become an influencer and make a living with it. What tips can you give?” And it’s so hard for me to say, because I started for the love of sharing.

I love working in social media, but I started feeling like something was missing about three years ago. I was thinking about launching my own brand for a while, and then in the beginning of 2019, I watched The True Cost.

Everybody should watch it. It’s a documentary about the fashion industry and it was really eye opening for me. After I watched it, I cried. I was so shocked. I started to do research because I wanted to support more ethical brands and realized that there are very few brands that are actually sustainable and the ones that are weren’t really my style. That’s where I saw a gap in the market. I wanted to create the perfect

hile studying in school I had this obsession with working in finance. I wanted to become an investment banker and live in Frankfurt, which is the biggest finance city in Germany, and then work on Wall Street. I never aimed to work in fashion. It happened very organically and was more like a very lucky accident. When I finished university, I was exhausted because I was in a dual study and got a bachelor’s degree in finance while doing a traineeship. It was very, very time consuming because I was working at a finance company for three months, and then I was studying for three months, so I never had a vacation. After graduation I wanted to take a gap year to prepare to get my master’s degree in the States.

I didn’t want to have any plastic in any part of the clothing or the packaging, so Attire is 100% polyester free. We really try to go above and beyond to keep that high standard.

I was already uploading random photos on Instagram of myself but during my gap year, I started to enjoy posting more photos and gained followers. And then everything changed when I got my first offers for $20 here and $50 there. Next, I got a job offer to post eight photos for around 400 Euros, which was my monthly salary at one of my jobs at the time. It was mind-blowing, and I thought, “Okay, I need to get more out of this.” I started uploading more frequently and put more effort into my posts and by 2017 I switched strategically. My boyfriend quit his job to support me full time. We started attending fashion weeks. I started rebranding and pivoting into high-fashion and luxury. Seven years later, here we are.

made from certified natural fibers. I think our items are priced fairly, but of course they’re expensive and I want people to understand why. There’s a part in the documentary that says if an item is cheap, somebody along the production line didn’t get paid. There are so many steps along the supply chain, and we disclose all the pricing for fabric, for the assembly, for the trims. That’s how you see that people are getting paid along the production line. I think if people were more aware of the ugly side of fashion, they would be much more conscientious about consuming.

Now that I’ve been on my entrepreneurial journey, it’s really nerve-racking. There’s not a single day when I don’t deal with an issue. But I’m so in love with it.

The iconic French brand Veuve Clicquot is fêting a milestone anniversary by honoring Madame Clicquot, the woman who took the champagne house to the next level

Words by COLLEEN KRATOFIL

Cheers

LOOKING FORWAR D

For many years, the house was simply known as Clicquot Ponsardin, but as she worked on building the brand and established herself in the industry, it began to be referred to as Veuve (French for “widow”) Clicquot.

“Madame Clicquot was truly incredible for any time period but especially in the early 1800s,” Carole Bildé, the chief marketing and communications officer for Veuve Clicquot, tells GRAZIA USA. “She was known for her innovations and how she drove the champagne industry forward. Some of her greatest legacies are the riddling table, which is a method of aging champagne that creates clarity in the wine and is still used by more than 90% of champagne brands today. She also created the first vintage champagne in 1811 and the first blended rosé champagne in 1818 by blending white wine with red wine from her Bouzy vineyards.”

Long before Madame Clicquot adorned the bottles with Veuve Clicquot’s instantly recognizable yellow label, founder Philippe Clicquot branded each cork with an anchor as a sign of hope and prosperity. She kept those concepts in mind as she worked hard to

hen a celebration calls for some bubbly, the popping of a bottle with the yellow label is usually a reliable sign that a memorable evening is ahead. The sunny sticker stamped with an anchor emblem has come to represent Veuve Clicquot’s status as a luxe champagne of the highest standard — a reputation curated and maintained for centuries. What Veuve Clicquot connoisseurs may not know, however, is that much of what’s associated with the champagne house, like that eye-catching label, crystalclear consistency, and rosé option, is thanks to the woman who single-handedly changed the game for the brand, and the champagne industry, Madame Clicquot.

In 1805, at a time when women weren’t allowed to open their own bank accounts, Madame Clicquot (née Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin) became a widow at age 27 after the untimely death of her husband François Clicquot. François shared his passion for champagne-making with his wife, and within only a few weeks of his passing, Madame Clicquot made the unprecedented decision to helm the company, which was founded by her late father-in-law, Phillippe Clicquot, in 1772.

The rest of Madame Clicquot’s long life was dedicated to winemaking. She never remarried and spent every day working at the winery. In 1821, she hired Édouard Werlé as her associate and he became her official successor when she died in 1866. “We have had a short lineage of only 11 Cellar Masters to ensure the continuity of the brand, using techniques, blending methods, plots and more that Madame Clicquot used in her time,” Bildé says of the house, which LVHM acquired in 1986.

realize Philippe and his son François’ dream to have their product lauded internationally. “I want my brand to rank first, from New York to Saint Petersburg,” Madame Clicquot used to say, according to Bildé.

This year, Veuve Clicquot has been busy ringing in its 250th anniversary by honoring Madame Clicquot’s visionary and pioneering spirit with celebrations around the world that pay tribute to the “solaire” mindset, her belief that with each new day comes new possibilities.

“We kicked off the year with a new brand campaign, Good Day Sunshine, to reiterate the optimistic, joyful nature of the house,” Bildé says. “We took over the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, a Belmond Train, in early June.” The sunrise-to-sunset journey started in the Cellars of Veuve Clicquot in Reims, France, and ended in Venice, Italy.

Veuve Clicquot also unveiled THE ICONS Collection this summer, an exclusive offering of the House’s most emblematic objects, all reedited sustainably — from a presentation box inspired by Japanese origami that opens like a flower, transforming it into an ice bucket, to a mini-fridge redesigned in collaboration with SMEG that keeps champagne bottles chilled forThehours.Solaire

The groundbreaking entrepreneur made her late loved ones’ dreams a reality. Madame Clicquot overcame the continental embargo that was enacted in Europe at the time and delivered wine to Russia, where poet Alexander Pushkin, playwright Anton Chekhov and novelist Nikolai Gogol praised her champagne.

Culture exhibit opens in Beverly Hills on Oct. 26 and marks the finale of the year-long festivities. The traveling showcase — to be exhibited at 468 North Rodeo Drive, a space currently hosting Louis Vuitton’s “200 Trunks, 200 Visionaries” — debuted this June in Tokyo and is set to conclude on Nov. 17.

For the commissioned artwork, Morineau assembled a diverse range of artists, both up-and-coming and established, such as Sheila Hicks, Tacita Dean, Pénélope Bagieu and Moyoco Anno. She also chose women who would work differently with color and light through their techniques, including renowned Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama who reinterpreted a portrait of Madame Clicquot. “It’s quite a complex project and it has taken a long time to come together, but, in my view, it is really unique and will allow visitors to have a multisensory experience while being in line with the spirit of ‘the grande dame de la champagne,’” says Morineau.

“We knew that we wanted to create something that could travel internationally. This has long been an ambition of the house and Madame Clicquot,” Bildé explains of the exhibit that is free and open to anyone over 21. “We wanted to showcase the incredibly rich heritage of the House with more than 80 archival objects and historical pieces that we have in our possession, which will be on display for visitors for the first time in the U.S.”

“Most of all,” she adds, “we wanted to honor Madame Clicquot’s entrepreneurial, creative spirit and further our support of women by partnering with 10 female artists to each create a unique piece inspired by Madame Clicquot and the Solaire nature of ourFrenchHouse.”curator and art historian Camille

For Guisset, working with the artists was an empowering experience. “It was fantastic to meet every artist and go deep into her mind to understand the piece and see how it would live with others, installing virtual conversations that the visitors will feel or see clearly,” she explains. “It was interesting to see how they would take the challenge themselves to embody Madame Clicquot’s spirit. I am always surprised how different people on the same subject always propose pieces that you would never expect. Artist’s minds are always unpredictable.”Thoughthehouse has a storied history, Morineau tells GRAZIA USA she strived to ensure the exhibit isn’t “too museum-like, too classical,” but instead “forward-thinking, much like Madame Clicquot herself.”

Morineau and French designer, interior architect and scenographer Constance Guisset created the exhibit to pay homage to 250 years of the brand.

To build out the space and define the atmosphere, Guisset says she drew upon “the house’s iconic yellow, connection to the sun, and roundness to play with effects that create a really dynamic space, light and deep at the same time.” There are also touches of midnight blue throughout, which was used to keep guests’ “concentration on the content and give depth to what is presented.” The

Morineau hopes those who visit the exhibit will leave feeling inspired and optimistic. “Madame Clicquot faced obstacles in relation to her age and gender, though she did not let that discourage her from taking control of the brand and leading it to success that has stood the test of time,” she says. “No matter your obstacle, there is a way to achieve what you set your heart and mind to.”

She was a woman far ahead of her time.”

Guisset says one of the most exciting elements is the display of bottle labels from over the years, on which guests can see how the signature yellow hue serves as a visual emblem of the champagne brand’s “solaire”“Solaire,”philosophy.Morineau notes, “is about bringing unbridled optimism into your endeavors, whether in art, business or everyday life.”

Once the 250th-anniversary festivities wrap, Bildé says the “solaire” spirit will continue through the brand’s other initiatives, including Bold by Veuve Clicquot, a program to improve inclusion, impact, and visibility of female entrepreneurs. The company will also increase its sustainability efforts to reach its commitment to reduce emissions 50 percent by 2030.

Guisset also believes those who experience the space will feel empowered to be more daring and live in a way that puts possibility at the forefront. “Madame Clicquot was not afraid to take risks and that is what made her so successful in building up Veuve Clicquot,” she says. “As viewers leave, we hope they will take a piece of this with them and create audacious change in the spaces they occupy.”

Born Aug. 4, 1821, Vuitton first earned a reputation as a skilled trunk-maker at the atelier of Monsieur Maréchal, and he was at the top of his game by the time he established his own workshop in 1854.

Once the visionaries completed their trunks, the finished products embarked on a global tour fit for a fashion rock star. At the exhibition’s debut in Asnières-sur-Seine, trunks arranged in random configurations across different floors of the space conveyed an imaginative timeline and a bridge from the past to the future. Animation, videos, and musical elements breathed life into the exhibition. Next, all 200 art trunks in the Louis 200 exhibition traveled to Singapore. In July, the trunks landed at the LVX space on Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Drive, and now the residency is heading to New York — just in time for fall.

The specially designed travel trunks, based on one of the first Vuitton made in 1851, are rectangular boxes measuring 50x50x100 centimeters, and the pieces are numbered

he Louis 200 project, an art-culture initiative created to honor the 200th birthday of Louis Vuitton’s namesake founder, opened at the site of the Vuitton family house and atelier in Asnières-sur-Seine, France. The celebrations kicked off last December in the birthplace of the famed designer’s Maison, and after a whirlwind year, events are set to conclude this fall in New York City after traversing the globe.

“Louis’ coming-of-age tale, that of a risktaking, innovative, natural leader, defines the Maison he founded and advances us into the future,” Michael Burke, the chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton, explained at the opening event. “Through the disruptive and dynamic initiatives of Louis 200, we can appreciate how Louis was a figure of his time — and ours.”

As part of Louis 200, the luxury fashion house returned to Vuitton’s roots and looked ahead at the same time with the creation of “200 Trunks, 200 Visionaries: The Exhibition.” Faye McLeod, visual image director at Louis Vuitton, tapped individuals from across the globe at the top of their games in the arts, sciences, sports and other professions and gave them carte blanche to reimagine trunks with their distinctive and imaginative viewpoints.

In embedding each wooden box with their own visual art symbols and associations, the invited creators made unique artworks honoring the fabled fashion brand’s past while also deploying signs and vestiges of pop culture familiar to a new, younger audience.

Louis 200 is a transformative — not commercial — initiative unlike other Louis Vuitton mega art endeavors over the last two decades, such as the brand’s collaborations with Stephen Sprouse, Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, and, more recently, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.

In the end, Louis 200 isn’t about selling any specific products, but about creating and coalescing a new mindset — deploying the regenerative power of fashion to connect a heritage via the classic trunk to a new generation.

heightened level of fame — and scrutiny. But for someone like Nicola Peltz Beckham, a force in her own right who’s been in the spotlight since 2013 with roles in Bates Motel, Transformers: Age of Extinction and other projects, the extra glare doesn’t exactly faze her. “I just live my life how I always have,” she tells GRAZIA USA. And in case anyone’s still wondering? “They’re great in-laws,” she adds.

arrying into a family with an bringsnamerecognizableinstantlylastlikeBeckhamwithita

Victoria Beckham and David Beckham’s eldest child, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, 23, wed Nicola in a lavish April ceremony at her family’s Palm Beach oceanfront estate in Florida. Though Nicola can now count a famous fashion designer and former entertainer as her mother-in-law and a worldwide soccer legend as a father-inlaw, the 27-year-old actress boasts a pretty impressive pedigree of her own since her dad is the self-made billionaire investor Nelson Peltz. Not that anyone would ever know. “My family is not in the limelight,” she explains. “I don’t see them like that at all.” Instead, while growing up in Westchester, just outside New York City, Nicola’s family was more about attending school sports than stadium tours. “I come from a hockey family,” Nicola says. “All my brothers play hockey and my parents are, I guess, anti-Hollywood. They didn’t grow up in L.A. or anything.”

I got that, I did 108 shows,” she says, noting excelling in the gig went a long way to win over her once-skeptical mother and father. “I think my parents saw how much I really, really enjoyed it, how much I loved it, and how hard I worked at it, and that’s all they really care about. Now, they’re really supportive.”

truthfully the only class I really enjoyed when I went to school.”

In just seven years, Nicola became a household name with her performance in the 2014 hit movie Transformers: Age of Extinction. And her success is set to continue thanks to her portrayal of Dorothy Stratten in Hulu’s limited series Welcome to Chippendales. The true-crime saga, which also stars Kumail Nanjiani and Dan Stevens, premieres on Nov. 22 and follows the story of the all-male revue’s Indian immigrant founder, Somen “Steve” Banerjee.

Nicola is one of eight children her parents Nelson and Claudia Heffner Peltz share. She has a sister Brittany, the founder of interior design studio Sena. Her six brothers include Matthew, a businessman; Will, who’s also an actor; Brad, a businessman; Darren, an entrepreneur; and twins, Zachary, who’s in college, and Gregory, a junior hockey player. “It’s funny to be the first person in your family to venture off and try something new,” Nicola says, noting that her loved ones don’t seem very impressed with her many accomplishments, at least on the surface. “My six brothers are happy for me, but they just look at me as their sister. My family keeps me very, very grounded.”

Nicola is the Peltz family’s undisputed acting pioneer (her brother Will followed her lead), but a little less luck and right timing could have changed her fate, especially since she once thought she was destined to become an ice hockey player. Nicola’s grandmother took her to a modeling agency and while on set shooting, the future star asked the photographer about acting — a chance question that changed her trajectory forever. Acting, Nicola recalls, “was

Long before she would marry the love of her life and become part of a world-famous family, Nicola rubbed shoulders with some other household names. She landed her first gig performing alongside Jeff Daniels and Alison Pill in Blackbird at the Manhattan Theatre Club in 2007. “It was one of my first auditions. When

“It was one of my favorite sets I’ve ever been on. I’ve been a fan of Dorothy’s for so long and her story is so heartbreaking,” Nicola says of the former Canadian Playboy Playmate who was murdered by her estranged husband in 1980. “I actually watched Star 80 when I was younger and her story suck in my mind for so many years. When I got the audition, I was just really excited.

“WHEN I READ THINGS THAT SAY, ‘OH, I WAS NEVER PLANNING ON WEARING A JUSTFEELINGS.BECKHAM][VICTORIADRESS,’ITDOESHURTMYITRYNOTTOLETIT,BUTIT’SNOTTHETRUTH.”

The photographer mentioned the name of a manager in New York City, an hour and a half from where Nicola was growing up, so her mother was hesitant. According to Nicola, the two made a deal that if the manager would take her, she could give it a go. If she didn’t, Nicola couldn’t bring the subject up again until she turned 18, a prospect she was unwilling to even consider. “When I met the manager, I begged for my life,” Nicola recalls. “She was like, ‘Have you done anything?’ I was like, ‘No.’ She was like, ‘Commercials? Do you sing? Do you dance?’ I was like, ‘Nope, not good at that.’ It was a hard sell, but here I am. Acting has definitely been in my bones since I was 10; it’s my first love.”

Brooklyn Peltz Beckham says married life gets better every single day. “I just didn’t expect it to be this great,” he says. “I got to marry my best mate and we do everything together.”

Like many other celebrity couple predecessors, Nicola and Brooklyn’s status exposes them to headline-making news — whether truthful or not. Tabloids and gossip sites recently ran with rumors that Nicola and Brooklyn’s mother, Victoria, were locked in a bitter feud. The genesis of the tongue-

would think about how far she’s come in the industry, Nicola pauses before replying. “I don’t know, I just have tunnel vision,” she says. “I just try to work my hardest, and then try to get the next job and move on to the next thing. I guess looking back, she’d be happy, but it’s hard for me to have that perspective sometimes.”

Next, Nicola is adding writer and director to her impressive résumé with Lola James, an independent drama currently in postproduction that she wrote, directed and starred in alongside Virginia Madsen, Richie Merritt and Luke David Blumm. “I was always looking for a girl like Lola when I was reading scripts, so I thought maybe I could write something,” Nicola says. “It’s been in the works for four years, but I kept it to myself because I’ve never written anything before.”

I hope people like my performance. I wanted to honor Dorothy because I love her so much.”

One person who does see the bigger picture and has her back is Brooklyn, who drove her to the Chippendales set every day at 4 a.m. “I don’t have a license; I’m a really terrible driver,” Nicola laughs. “If he was working, he would come bring me lunch and then we’d eat lunch together. He would pick me up and everyone on set was like, ‘Wow, you really have a great husband.’ I feel like I’m really lucky to have him and his support.”

wagging: Nicola wearing a Valentino Haute Couture gown on her wedding day.

“Well, I was planning on wearing Victoria’s wedding dress,” Nicola tells GRAZIA USA to set the record straight, “and I was truly so excited to be able to wear a design that my future mother-in-law created. I thought that was so beautiful and such a beautiful story.”

Nicola began writing the script at 23 and sent it to her acting coach, agent, and producer, who suggested she helm the project herself. “Honestly, I didn’t plan on directing it, it just happened. It was really scary for me because I never directed before,” the star says. “Being in the pre-production process for the first time in my life and being able to cast the movie and being a part of every little detail was so amazing and I really hope I get to directWhenagain.”asked what her 10-year-old self

Nicola’s close friend, the stylist Leslie Fremar, and mother, Claudia, were helping design the gown. “I thought, ‘Oh, this is going to be so fun. One of my best friends and my mom.’ We connected to start designing the dress, and then a few days went by and I didn’t hear anything. Victoria called my mom and said her atelier couldn’t make it. So, I spoke to my mom and Leslie, and I was like, ‘Well, unfortunately, this can’t happen, so what’s the next step?’ I’ve been a fan of Valentino and their couture for so long. I was really lucky to be able to travel to [the atelier] to try on the dress. That’s really what happened.”Shecontinues, “When I read things that say [things like] I was never planning on

Though Brooklyn, who stars in his Facebook Watch series Cookin’ with Brooklyn, is eager, he’s also willing to put his new bride’s wishes first. “I can’t wait to start a family. I’ve always wanted to be a young dad,” he says. “I’m willing to have as many as Nicola wants. Obviously, it’s her body; she’s the one who’s going to be carrying it. Not me. So I can have 10, but as many as she wants, then I’m happy.”

Brooklyn tries to take a pragmatic approach when he sees his loved ones’ names splashed across the headlines. “To be honest, my wife is obviously my first priority and I never want to see her upset ever,” he says. “When people do say ridiculous things, we just talk about it and we just move on. We have each other’s back 100 percent and we just move on together.”

as my mom is and give them all my attention. So, I feel like I have to do a few more work things before I have kids. But we definitely want a very big family.”

Since they both come from tight-knit backgrounds, the newlyweds are more than excited to create a big family of their own. “Brooklyn tells me every day that he wants kids yesterday and that makes me fall way more in love with him,” Nicola says. “I love that he says that. I’m so excited to be a mom one day. I just want to be as good as a mom

wearing a [Victoria Beckham] dress or things like that, it does hurt my feelings. I try not to let it, but it’s just not the truth. It’s just a bit of a bummer when you’re like, ‘Oh, people think that,’ but it’s just not true.”

The couple has even already created their own special bond with each other by joining their last names, which they can someday pass on to their children. “She didn’t want to forget her family, and I love and respect that,” says Brooklyn. “So we just came up with the decision to make Peltz Beckham a double last name for us. It made her happy and it made meInhappy.”fact,happiness radiates from the couple, especially when asked how newlywed life is treating them so far. “I just didn’t expect it to be this great to be honest,” Brooklyn gushes. “Me and Nicola, we are always together, and it gets better every single day.” And, Nicola adds, “It’s just so fun.”

Not that it’s always the easiest thing to do. “It’s a shame when there’s not more love, especially on the internet,” Nicola says. “I don’t understand the whole hating on other people’s Instagrams, but to each their own, I guess. I think it’s really about surrounding yourself with really good people. I feel really lucky to have a good support system.”

While Apatow says she would work with her sister “at any given opportunity” and she hopes they can someday collaborate, she’s having fun with her inner circle of other Gen Z “It girls” that includes Olivia Rodrigo, Coco Arquette and Natalia Bryant. “[I make] sure the people I let into my life have the right intentions,” Apatow says.

Spoken like an independent woman going places! G

ris Apatow is no stranger to the limelight. The actress first hit the big screen over 15 years ago in 2007’s Knocked Up, and she quickly followed up her success with gigs in Funny People and This is 40. All three comedies had two things in common: Apatow’s mother, actress Leslie Mann, and her father, writer-director Judd Apatow, were both involved in the projects. While the budding starlet descends from Hollywood hitmakers, she’s proving she’s no nepotism baby thanks to her portrayal of a teenager dealing with loss in Vodka, a short released this year, as well as her starring role in the rom-com series Love

Now, as Apatow celebrates turning 20 this fall, she continues to forge her own path and learn valuable life lessons along the way. “When I moved out on my own and began investing my time in things such as acting and writing classes, I felt I was moving on a very fulfilling track,” Apatow tells GRAZIA USA.

She also continues to look up to her big sister, Maude, an actress best known for playing Lexi Howard on the hit HBO series Euphoria, as a role model with natural show-business instincts. “She’s a star and has always been one in my eyes since she was in Cats in the 3rd

grade,” Apatow shares, noting, “Ever since Maude played Sally Bowles in Cabaret at our high-school I knew she would do amazing things.”

When Apatow isn’t working or plotting her future with friends, she’s discovered a love for fashion, and she credits Lily-Rose Depp as a source of inspiration and someone she’s admired from a young age. “I have always found her cool casual fashion to be so elegant and beautiful and I have definitely tried to model my style after hers in the least creepy way possible,” Apatow says, explaining knit sweaters and maxi slips make up her personal signature wardrobeApatowstaples.addsthat as she comes into her own, she’s keeping in mind one of the best pieces of advice she’s ever received: “My dad always told me growing up to stop letting people who make you feel like shit dictate your life.”

“As time passes, I feel more and more comfortable and at ease with myself. Also, my body has done so many beautiful things for me and it’s gotten me to this point. At 36 years old, I feel much better than I did when I was 22.”

“It led me to let things go, to accept that certain things are how they are. And to take care of myself, because otherwise I couldn’t protect my children. Plus, having children turned me into sort of a superwoman: it’s amazing what your body is capable of doing. My mother filmed the births of my two kids, and I recently rewatched my son Thomas’ delivery. I thought, ‘Wow, I’m incredible! It’s enough to give you a new sense of security, to cancel out all the years of not being satisfied with your appearance. Why would we want to be different?”

What makes you happiest?

Is that the reason why you decided to live on a farm?

Did becoming a mother change you a lot?

“I remember an audition when I was still working as a model. I would have been 15 years old, and I liked to eat and I still had a little bit of roundness typical in children that age. There was a girl at the audition with an incredibly flat stomach. The first thing I thought was: ‘Why am I not like her? How can I be like that?’ The anxiety that arouses isn’t good for us. I wonder if it’s a phase we have to go through in order to accept ourselves? But after seeing the physical changes resulting from pregnancy and motherhood, I understand that you can’t waste your time on stuff like that.”

“I think I’ve always known what makes me feel well and I’ve always loved to be in the middle of nature. What’s changed is that today I appreciate it more. And I try to share my happiness with others.”

“Knowing how to accept myself for who I am and paying attention to the little things in life. It’s always possible to be satisfied with

here is one little word that has long represented a challenge for the actress Amanda Seyfried. “I’ve finally become good at saying ‘No,’ she says. “By nature, I tend to be flexible. But with time, I’ve come to understand what makes me uncomfortable and I’ve learned how to make others respect my decisions — even though saying no to my kids is really tough.” Fortunately, her children, Nina, 5, and Thomas, who turned 2 on Sept. 28, give her less of a hard time than she gave her mother when, at 11 years old, she was already trending sets and shooting her first commercials. “As a child, I was undisciplined, impatient and noisy,” she admits.

The first is the Hulu series The Dropout: the true story of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, who was convicted of defrauding investors in connection with her blood-testing startup. “It was the biggest challenge of my career,” Seyfried says of her Emmy-nominated performance.Thesecond project is a movie that came out last year, Mouthful of Air, in which the actress plays a children’s book writer dealing with trauma that resurfaces after the birth of her daughter. “The screenwriter and director, Amy Koppelman, is a friend,” Seyfried says. “More or less, we have all experienced postpartum depression. It’s a topic that women absolutely must talk about to help each other.”

In the past, you’ve spoken openly about your battle to achieve mental wellness. How did you do it?

“By speaking about my problems. Every time I see someone having problems, I say: ‘Try to confide in someone.’ Perhaps on the first try you won’t find someone able to help you, but there’s always someone who, sooner or later, will offer you a different point of view and will completely change your way of thinking.”

“On Valentine’s Day I send little presents to friends, especially those who have just become parents. This year I made some paper heart decorations. Other times I’ve baked cookies and sweets.”

“I’m trying to think about somewhere that isn’t our farm, but nothing comes to mind. One of my most beautiful memories is a day I spent with my daughter the summer before the pandemic. We were sitting outside by the pool, surrounded by the sunflowers we had planted and that had grown really tall. I felt something close to spiritual peace.”

Did that happen with you?

“I hate to have to admit it, but anti-aging is a term that is now playing a part in my life. I’ve never done Botox, but I’m careful when it comes to sun exposure, and every night before going to bed, I apply an anti-wrinkle mask. But at my age, beauty is no longer just about what’s on the outside. I feel beautiful if my mind is free, if I can get rid of negative thoughts and I have a clear idea about what I want and who I am.”

Do you practice meditation?

How?

In keeping with her new set of priorities, Seyfried is continuing in her role as a Lancôme global ambassador and selectively choosing new projects, like her latest two, which are different from each other but each equally special.

So your relationship with the mirror has improved?

The passing years don’t worry you?

what you have and optimistic about the future. Most of us don’t pay attention to these moments of happiness because our heads are elsewhere. It’s enough to just stop and take a look around ourselves. Watching my children play together: this, for me, is happiness.”

Is there a place that you feel at peace with yourself?

“Every morning, after I’ve washed my face, the first thing that I do is a walk around the farm. My meditation is to feed the animals on the farm and to be among them. It has a calming effect. And, every so often, I take the opportunity to do some physical exercise. This morning, after breakfast, I jumped rope while waiting for our oldest horse to finish eating his hay.”

With her husband, the 46-year-old actor Thomas Sadoski, who she married in an ultraprivate ceremony in 2017 only days after their daughter Nina’s birth, Seyfried, 36, has settled on a farm in Upstate New York. After a Best Supporting Oscar nomination for her role as Hollywood starlet Marion Davies in the 2020 film Mank, she took the decision to cut back on the pace of her commitments. “Up until a few years ago I was working so much, and I was worried that if I gave myself a break, I wouldn’t be able to get back into it,” she shares. “But now I have a husband who, like me, loves his work and two children that need somebody to be with them. Because of this I only accept roles that I consider impossible to miss out on.”

‘AS TIME PASSES, I FEEL MORE AND WITHANDCOMFORTABLEMOREATEASEMYSELF.’

Whose style do you look up to?

“We should choose what we like without fear of making mistakes. Not basing choices on what we see on Instagram is a way of trusting ourselves. I find it alarming that on social media everybody has their eyebrows done in the same way.”

Do you have a piece of advice that you would give to your 20-year-old self?

“I really admire Zendaya. She’s a good example for girls. Whether she’s dressed elegantly or sporty, wearing makeup or none at all, she is always beautiful. But it’s my overall impression that she’s always true to herself. And I’m crazy about Cate Blanchett. She knows how to be elegant and ‘regal’ but also original. She maintains an aura of mystery that allows her to live in a way unlike anyone else.”

What kind of principles did your parents raise you with?

movies or on television. While at the preview of Mamma Mia! I was speechless when I met Jane Seymour. I told her, ‘You’re Dr. Mike from Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman!’”

Now that it’s your turn to be an icon, do you feel a sense of responsibility?

What would that be?

“I read a lot of books by feminists and psychotherapists. I really trust the viewpoints of other women. I also love the poet Mary Oliver for her ability to express life’s most beautiful moments in an eloquent way that’s simple at the same time. You just have to read a few pages of any of her books to completely change your day. I turn everything that she’s written into advice.”

“Simply: ‘Take a breath.’”

Are there any authors who you look up to?

“The same: ‘Breathe. You’ll see that everything passes.’”

“My mother taught me the idea that less is more. She lives according to this principle. And she taught me that you have to carefully consider what you say and do, to be kind and be aware of your actions. My father always knows how to find the funny side of situations. He’s neurotic, but he was able to cultivate a sense of irony. This is also a great lesson.”

How do you know when something’s okay to post?

Is it easier today for women to have their voices heard?

How would you describe your relationship with Lancôme, the brand you’ve been an ambassador for since 2019?

“I prefer to go forward one step at a time. The only thing that I would like right now is to show my son a little bit of the world. Ever since Nina was young, she’s traveled extensively with me, while for Thomas, who was born during the pandemic, it wasn’t possible. I would like to take him to Turkey and Egypt, and on a safari to see the animals in their natural habitat.” G

“Over time the pressure has decreased because today I know I have something to offer. I like the contact with people, listening to what everyone has to say. And also sharing my views. But I do so carefully, thinking a lot about the effect I could have, both in real life and on social media.”

“I’ve always sought help when I wasn’t doing well. I know very well what it’s like to suffer from OCD. I take medication and I do therapy every week. I also listen to a lot of audiobooks. I believe talking and listening are the two cornerstones of mental wellbeing.”

“It happened to me a billion times. Mostly with actresses that were a part of my childhood: it’s weird to find yourself in front of a person that growing up you watched in

“I ask myself: ‘Is this what I would like for my daughter to see?’ If the answer is yes, then it means it’s alright.”

“In my work, in general, I need to find something that I can relate to, otherwise it comes across as fake, and that’s exactly what I want to avoid. It was a relief to discover that my relationship with Lancôme was founded on something real and important.”

Uniqueness is a good trait to have?

“Absolutely, yes. We feel safer. And the more we freely express ourselves, the more we want to continue to do so. We have a platform at our disposal like never before.”

THE DIAMOND DIADEM

Queen Elizabeth II wore The Diamond Diadem, originally made for King George IV in 1820, to appear in the House of Lords to open the First Parliament of her reign in 1952.

For less formal occasions, Queen Elizabeth often donned her signature pearl necklace and a statement brooch as well as the diamond engagement ring with 3-carat center stone that Prince Philip gave her before their 1947 nuptials. When it came to official events, Her Royal Highness went into the Buckingham Palace vaults.

FIT FOR A QUEEN

As the world mourns, Queen Elizabeth II leaves behind an inimitable legacy and a wondrous collection of dazzling jewels and tiaras

uring her 70-year reign on the British throne, Queen Elizabeth II wore some of the most remarkable jewelry, brooches, tiaras and, of course, crowns. Whether they were gifted, inherited, or commissioned, the Queen’s collection was unmatched.

Words by HANNAH MILITANO

THE IMPERIAL STATE CROWN

At a royal gala during her Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1977, the Queen donned the tiara she ordered from Garrard, which was set with 96 rubies the people of Burma gifted to the Queen for her wedding.

Her Royal Highness often selected her great-grandmother Queen Alexandra’s diamond Russian Kokoshnik Tiara, commissioned by Garrard. The tiara was modeled after the Russian Kokoshnik Tiara worn by Alexandra’s sister, the Empress Marie Feodorovna of Russia.

One of Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite tiaras, the Grand Duchess Vladimir Tiara, was purchased by her grandmother, Queen Mary, in 1921.

BURMESE RUBIES

Originally made for the coronation of King George VI in 1937, the opulent headpiece is set with 2,868 diamonds in silver mounts, and colored stones in gold mounts, including 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, and 269 pearls. Queen Elizabeth II wore the Imperial State Crown on her coronation day in 1953 and again, to the Opening of Parliament in 1967.

Queen Elizabeth died at 96 years old on Sept. 8, and just months before her death, she put heirlooms from her personal jewelry collection on display at three royal residences during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations. In honor of her historic reign, GRAZIA USA takes a look back at her most remarkable pieces.

230 GRAZIA USA FALL 2022

The stunning treasure trove of jewels was added to the collection of family heirlooms during Queen Victoria’s reign from 1837 to 1901. As her empire expanded during the Victorian era, collecting jewelry pieces was a priority for the British monarch.

Queen Mary was another substantial contributor to her granddaughter Queen Elizabeth II’s impressive assortment. Queen Mary was known for acquiring gemstones and diamonds during her royal travels. She received other pieces as diplomatic gifts and through close-knit ties with jewelers in London and Paris. She ended up accumulating many of Queen Elizabeth’s favorite designs, such as The Grand Duchess Vladimir Tiara and The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, which Queen Elizabeth dubbed “Granny’s Tiara.”

QUEEN HisWEDDINGALEXANDRA’SPARURERoyalHighness,Prince Albert of Wales, gave the Parure of Diamonds and Pearls as a wedding gift to Princess Alexandra of Denmark in 1863. The Garrard pieces included the Rundell Tiara, a set of earrings, a brooch, and a diamond and pearl necklace, which was recently worn by Catherine, Princess of Wales. While the diamond tiara no longer exists, the rest of the jewels remain in Queen Elizabeth II’s private collection.

Rather than offering luxurious homes, sweeping away any form of urban decay, Maciunas wanted to experiment with the insertion of artists’ studios and residences in critical zones of the city, to develop new, virtuous balances and functions capable of reviving compromised and semiabandoned areas. This is the background framework of the project created by Diane Lewis before her premature death, in collaboration with Emma Fuller, who with great care and dedication has completed the work in keeping with the original design indications. The

n this article we examine the renovation of a loft located in one of those buildings with a façade featuring cast iron columns, still a feature of the image of the SoHo district. In particular, we are inside a building that once belonged to the famous Fluxhouse cooperatives founded at the end of the 1960s by George Maciunas. This by-now historic urban intervention was formulated with the aim of conserving the urban fabric of Lower Manhattan, threatened at the time by the plans for demolition urged by Robert Moses to construct a large urban expressway. The aim was also to accommodate artists and their studios at reasonable prices. This operation earned

irregular form of the loft, with an L-shaped plan and windows on only one side, has been approached in such a way as to combine the two functions of living and working for a visual artist, creating an effective home-studio combo. The long narrow entrance has become an exhibition gallery, with an archive cabinet concealed in the wood cladding in front of an unencumbered wall on which to display paintings in rotation. A service bathroom acts as a hinge towards the central living area, leading to the bedroom with its own large bathroom. The natural oak facing of the walls and part of the ceiling, together with wooden floor planks, also in oak, becomes the image of reference to interpret and assemble the geometric forms of the space, which

The idea is that of building a protective and carefully balanced ‘architectural shell’ inside the originally industrial space, which remains perceptible thanks to the exposed pipes running over the suspended ceilings, where certain portions have been left open to emphasize the game of overlaps of different eras and functions of the architectural space. In the studio area the new wooden cladding extends into just one zone, forming a band of connection with the ceiling that descends along the blank space between the windows and then becomes a support panel for works in progress.

A large custom elliptical chandelier looms over the living area.

The luxury fabric maker is the veritable wizard behind the fashion world’s figurative curtain, which would undoubtedly be constructed of Loro Piana cashmere and wool if it actually existed.

In a once-ina-lifetime event, herders in Mongolia and northern China comb out the soft inner coats of baby Capra Hircus goats that are between 3 and 8 months old, yielding a single ounce of downy delicate strands destined to be woven into Loro Piana’s signature baby cashmere.

The wads of fibers are shot through pneumatic tubes to carding machines, where they are disentangled and cleaned. Using technology that hasn’t changed since the early 1940s, the raw material is fed through the oldest machine in the mill that gently turns the fibers into continuous diaphanous veil-like sheets that roll along hundreds of wooden rods and curl through metal drums.

“The good material goes into the machine and comes out, and the bad material,” dust and other impurities, “fall to the floor” as the sheets travel along, Morello says.

The knowledge needed to grow Loro Piana into the brand internationally recognized as the pinnacle of textile manufacturing was developed over the course of six generations. The Loro Piana family began working as wool merchants in the early 19th century, and Pietro Loro Piana eventually established his eponymous company in April 1924. His nephew, Franco Loro Piana, took the reins in 1941, and he specialized in providing wool and cashmere textiles to the burgeoning haute couture industry. Beginning in 1970, his sons, Sergio and Pier Luigi Loro Piana, helmed the company and focused their efforts on gathering only the rarest materials as they built the luxury side of the brand LVMH bought for $2.6 billion in 2013.

‘EVERY METER OF TEXTILE IS ISIMPERFECTIONLITTLEANDINSPECTEDEVERYELIMINATED.’

Loro Piana’s meticulous textile-making process, honed and refined over time, ensures fabrics bearing the brand’s label are fit each step of the way as they slowly transform from fleece to their final form. “There is a saying: We have to follow what the cashmere wants,” Morello says. “It’s impossible to increase the speed of production.” With Loro Piana, it turns out, you really can’t rush perfection. G

On a recent day at the Quarona factory, a giant bolt of magenta textile woven with Louis Vuitton’s interlocking L and V logo and floral pattern sat near a mechanical loom turning tan- and brown-hued yarn into a similar stretch of fabric for the fashion house.

“At the end of the process, we do another check that’s called fine-mending,” says Gianni Gnemmi, who operates the Loro Piana finishing department. “Every meter of textile is inspected and every little imperfection is eliminated.” Around 80 experts painstakingly remove miscolored fibers or mend tiny snags in the fabric, a process that usually takes five hours for each 100 meters of material.

These and up to as much as 25,000 square meters of impeccable textiles flowing out of Loro Piana’s factories daily will end up as an array of luxury products. Many will fall under the Loro Piana label — from sunny, bright yellow Loro Piana Interiors cushions and blankets at Splendido Mare, a seaside Belmond Hotel in Portofino, Italy, and trellispatterned aprons waiters wear at the property’s DaV Mare restaurant, to plush, understated Loro Piana-branded cashmere sweaters lining the shelves of chic boutiques in Tokyo, New York and across the globe.
