Last September I was part of a fashion crowd who made a brief dash to Cupertino outside San Francisco (36 hours in and out) to attend the launch of the Apple Watch. It was a surreal experience to cross the globe to sit in a large conference theatre filled with Apple aficionados and Stephen Fry, to hear CEO Tim Cook proselytise about this new addition to the Apple family. The watch is its first step into what the company calls the fashion arena, and the fashion industry is watching this particular space with interest. For “The Data Game”, Lisa Armstrong was granted access to actually use the watch rather than just look at it (incidentally, Apple Watch is a product surrounded by more embargoes than the Chilcot Inquiry), and has written a great piece on how the wearable-tech scene is stacking up. When Harriet Quick was commissioned to write about fashion and protest (“March Issues”), we had no idea of the shocking murders that would take place in Paris this past winter. In her piece, she describes the placard-bearing model march Karl Lagerfeld brilliantly staged to show his current Chanel collection. It was a scene that would later be echoed by the crowds who took to the streets and gathered in the Place de la République in the aftermath of the shootings, in a show of solidarity that reverberated not only around France but around the world. We asked Paris resident Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni to report on the fashion capital as it reacts to January’s events, in “After Shock”.
WHO AM I?
It can be tempting to consider that the frivolous side of fashion is an irrelevance compared with dramatic world events, but it is a temptation worth resisting. Mario Testino photographed the high-spirited party girls and great friends - Cara Delevingne, Georgia May Jagger and Suki Waterhouse for this month’s cover story (“Girls on Film”), and I am sure that most people will feel, as I do, that there is a great deal to be said for fashion’s ability to cheer one up.

CARA DELE VIGNE For the March Issue we have an interview with the British Top Model in Paris.

Cara Delevingne was named model of the year at the British Fashion Awards—and the prize was well earned. She’s been photographed by Mario Testino for the cover of British Vogue; she’s appeared in ad campaigns for Chanel, Burberry, and H&M, among others; and she seems to have landed on every runway in New York, London, Milan, and Paris during the recent fashion season. But the title hardly seems sufficient for the many moods and manifestations of Cara Delevingne. Yes, she has a “look”—those eyes, that lip-o-licious mouth, and the most famous eyebrows since Groucho Marx. Then there’s her background: her aristo lineage (described by the Daily Mail as “pure Chelsea posh”); her colorful mother, Pandora, a personal shopper for Selfridges; her father, Charles, a handsome man about town; and her older sister Poppy, also a successful model. And, to top it all off, there’s her well-known punch of personality— witty, whimsical, and charmingly unpredictable. So what if she’s 45 minutes late? She gives you 5,000 percent when she gets there (and like the best designers, Delevingne gives what you want before you even know you wanted it). While the 20-year-old self-described tomboy was amazed by her sudden rocket into the heart of the fashion universe (not to mention by just how tough all that runway walking can be), she is setting her sights on other stars—acting, making music, inventing, Nobel Prizes—as long as there’s plenty of goofing off to be done along the way.
