EDITOR’S LETTER

“You gotta’ have style. It helps you get down the stairs. It helps you get up in the morning. It’s a way of life. Without it, you’re nobody.” So said legendary fashion authority Diana Vreeland—and she would know better than anyone else. During the middle of the last century, Vreeland served as a fashion editor at Harper’s Bazaar, followed by eight years at the helm of Vogue as editor-in-chief. The term “style” had meaning in the Vreeland era. In 1965, the Vogue editor-in-chief exclaimed, “London is the most swinging city in the world at the moment!” Ever since, countless authors have used the phrase “Swinging London” when writing about London in the early part of the 1960s. The 1960s marked the era of Mod, with its miniskirts, shift dresses, girl groups, gamine supermodels, and the original “It” girls—Jean Shrimpton, Jane Birkin, Ali MacGraw, among others—who are still inspiring this generation’s Alexa Chungs, et al. I recently read an article in The Business of Fashion stating that fashion has currently entered a “state of pure postmodernism, where anything goes and nothing means anything anymore.” Whether or not “fashion and style have collapsed into each other,” causing fashion to “cease to exist as a cohesive conversation,” remains to be seen. I will say this with absolute certainty—if you are in search of the meaning of style, look no further than Diana Vreeland. Vreeland knew style when she saw it, and she was always spot on. In 1960, Ali MacGraw, a recent Wellesley graduate, became Diana Vreeland’s assistant. Well, not quite. She wasn’t anything as vaunted as an “executive assistant.” In those days, MacGraw bluntly remarks, “They called [the position] ‘girl’—not to be confused with a skilled secretary.” It was most often used at the beginning of a sentence: “Girl, get me a pencil, get me a coffee…” Pencil-fetching aside, she calls the experience “the richest possible education into the fashion world.” To the 21-yearold aspiring model and actress, Diana Vreeland’s red and emboldened apartment at 550 Park Avenue (which was often animated by her coterie of society friends, including C. Z. Guest, Cecil Beaton, and Cole Porter) represented a world filled with enticing possibilities. MacGraw left Bazaar to become a stylist for renowned fashion photographer Melvin Sokolsky (Vreeland told her, “You don’t know enough to leave!”), which propelled MacGraw into modeling, as photographers quickly took note of her natural beauty and style. Modeling soon paved the way for acting, leading to MacGraw’s starring role as Jenny Cavilleri in Love Story, one of the highest-grossing films of all time. MacGraw channeled much of her own style into Jenny’s, and, ever since, MacGraw has embodied the all-American look. With her New England polished prep and ’70s bohemian flair, MacGraw’s style is just as relevant now as it was in the decade that made her famous. Q contributor Elizabeth Quinn Brown looks back at the fashion icon, and delivers MacGraw’s story from then until today with intrigue and thoughtful admiration. Another don’t-miss in our latest Fall Q is associate editor Brooke Kelly’s article about Blade, a transportation startup that uses an app to crowdsource flights to destinations like the Hamptons, Nantucket, Miami, and Palm Beach. Often referred to as “the Uber Counterclockwise from top right: Sam Edelman’s Dinah of helicopters” (although they also connect passengers with fixedbag with bamboo handle; a passenger boards a Blade helicopwing aircraft, from seaplanes to jets), Blade provides the ability to ter in New York; Bottega Veneta’s Deco Rose Shearling Gloves; summon a helicopter with the touch of an app. And senior editor J.McLaughlin’s Chiara Polarized Sunglasses; Ali MacGraw Ann Loynd Burton’s story on rising footwear designer Sarah Flint, photographed by Bert Stern; Kaia Gerber walks in Valentino’s Fall who designs wearable shoes with an understated chic aesthetic, will 2018 Couture runway show; Stuart Weitzman’s Charlie boot; shoe have you stepping stylishly into autumn.

Martha Stewart was a model before she was the queen of American home life. Stewart began her career at the age of 15, and she continued to model through her time as a student at Barnard College as a way to supplement her income. She modeled for a host of clients, from Unilever to Chanel, and her fine facial features proved perfect for showing off bold hoops. You can sparkle in a similar fashion this season in a pair of beautiful diamond hoops from Betteridge. While you’re at it, don’t forget about color; a simple yet stunning sapphire accent is just the right touch, especially when it’s Harry Winston.

5 6 Fashion models wearing military-inspired coats designed by Jeanne Lanvin in 1968 prove that accessories can really finish off a look. Their chains—with their dramatic length—go a long way in making a statement. This fall, as you begin to accessorize your favorite looks for the season, don’t forget some bold jewelry options of your own, from a modern take on the classic ID bracelet (thanks to Ralph Lauren’s fine jewelry line) to a pair of Verdura earrings whose vibrant colors and fetching design are sure to impress. When in doubt, a good rule of thumb is: just add jewels.

Vintage street style as we know it today stole the show in the city’s fashion scene between the 1940s and 1980s. Women dressed to the nines on a daily basis in designer coats, hats, and statement shoes. In this photo, a Parisian model is seen styling a double-breasted Ted Lapidus coat with go-go boots that make the outfit.

SUNGLASSES

Autumn Shades Elsa Martinelli was an instant style icon as she made her debut in acting and modeling during the 1950s. Born in Italy to a working-class family, Martinelli started her career in Rome when she was only 15 years old and instantly flourished. Her beauty was mesmerizing; her look was timeless and filled with grace, which contrasted with her seductive and daring personality. Here she is seen hiding behind an oversized pair of shades on the set of The Tenth Victim with Marcello Mastroianni in 1965.

The stylish brunette with the brows became famous for her turn in Love Story (1970). But, Ali MacGraw’s real-life existence has been even more intense—and, on occasion, even more watchable—than that her character Jennifer Cavilleri’s. Elizabeth Alice MacGraw was born on April 1, 1939, to Frances and Richard MacGraw—who were artists. (Frances was Hungarian and from Massachusetts; Richard was Scottish and from New Jersey.) Ali and her brother, Richard, were raised in a wilderness reserve in Pound Ridge, New York, where the MacGraws shared a small house with an old couple. Ali has remembered, in an interview with People (February 1983): “My parents made no money whatsoever,

but they really knew how to see, as artists. So, a big adventure might be, on a hot, dreadful day with no place to go, to go out and draw our chickens with pastels. My parents gave me a sense of wonder.” But, there were other moments, too. Ali has also remembered, in an interview with Vanity Fair (March 2010): “Daddy would beat my brother up, badly. I was witness to it, and it was terrible […] I put all my energy into trying to correct the chaos in our life. I was the Perfect Girl—capital P, capital G.” The actress was ambitious and curious, even in her teens. Our “Perfect Girl” was educated at Rosemary Hall in Greenwich, Connecticut, and Wellesley College in Cambridge, Massachusetts—where she studied art history. She shared, in

an interview with Harvard University’s Arts Department (January 2016): “I thought I would do something in the art world—and I don’t mean the brainy one in the museum. I just wanted to be around it. I had a very unspecific fantasy about what it would be like. Here’s the truth: I thought, well, maybe it could be 1913 again in Paris, and all those amazing people all starving to death, I would feed them. It was pretty much about living in my fantasy life . . . I wanted all the heavyweights coming in for a coffee: Diaghilev, Jean Cocteau, all of them. Of course, I was eliminating the fact that they were freezing to death at night, couldn’t get anything to eat, couldn’t sell their paintings.” It was in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that the actress was introduced to her first husband, Robin Hoen (who was a

handsome student at Harvard). The two were married in 1961—but were divorced in 1962. In 1960, she had relocated to New York City, where she became an assistant to Harper’s Bazaar’s Diana Vreeland. The chic brunette was soon embraced in the same scene as the era’s elite—a social swirl that included Salvador Dalí and Gloria Steinem. In 1966, MacGraw was cast in an advertisement for Chanel’s cosmetics. And, with that, she was discovered. She debuted as an actress in Goodbye, Columbus (1969). The feature, which was based on Philip Roth’s contribution to The Paris Review, was a romance about a Radcliffe student

include Rosemary’s Baby (1968) and The Godfather (1972). Evans, who was enamored with MacGraw, said, “Yes.” (The two would both say, “Yes”—or, rather, “I do”—when they married in 1971.) Arthur Hiller was recruited to be the director. But, who would be cast as Oliver Barrett IV—the rich Harvard student who would fall for MacGraw’s poor Radcliffe student (Jennifer Cavilleri)? The era’s leading actors—like Michael Douglas, Jon Voight, and Christopher Walken—auditioned for the role. But, it was Ryan O’Neal who won the role of the blonde Boston Brahmin. Love Story (1970) contributed to the 1970s zeitgeist and it was a financial smash in theaters—but, the cast wasn’t as rewarded as it could’ve (or should’ve) been. It was nominated

(MacGraw) and a Rutgers graduate (Richard Benjamin). MacGraw was awarded the “New Star of the Year—Actress” Golden Globe. (She was also nominated for a BAFTA.) The actress was serious about the search for her second film, because she knew that it would define her career. She was heartened when she read what would become Love Story (1970): a tragic tale about star-crossed (or, social class– crossed) love. MacGraw has emoted, in an interview with Town & Country (August 2016): “When I first read the script, I was deeply affected by it. I thought, ‘Why am I crying?’ It’s so simplistic, and my film tastes are, well, intense, let’s put it that way. So, I read it again, and was equally affected.” MacGraw flew to Los Angeles to discuss the idea with Robert Evans, Paramount Pictures’ studio executive whose films

She also debuted on the famous “International BestDressed List,”an envious achievement all its own. Evans and MacGraw welcomed their first child, Joshua, in 1971. But the union would soon be challenged when MacGraw filmed The Getaway (1972)—where she was introduced to Steve McQueen, the infamous icon who had starred in films like The Thomas Crown Affair (1968). The connection between the two icons was so intense that it was flammable. So, MacGraw ended her relationship with Evans and entered into one with McQueen: the stars were married from 1973 to 1978.

THE BLOOMSBURY 16-22 Great Russell Street / +44 207 347.1000 Developed in the 17th and 18th centuries as a fashionable residential area, Bloomsbury is also steeped in literary tradition. Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, and William Butler Yeats all lived here, and the British Museum remains as the heart of the neighborhood. Boasting some of London’s finest parks and formal squares, Bloomsbury is also home to an impressive assortment of bookstores—from Skoob Books to the London Review Bookshop and everything in between, like Gay’s the Word, the United Kingdom’s first gay bookshop. Whatever your literary leaning, there’s no better place to curl up with a new book than back at The Bloomsbury hotel. Centrally located, The Bloomsbury is an architectural lover’s gem. Sir Edwin Lutyens designed the building, originally conceived as London’s first YWCA. Fully renovated, the hotel houses a library and a cozy reading room, with comfy sofas and a fire, while guest rooms boast modern luxuries. High tea at Dalloway Terrace is not to be missed, but you may never want to leave once you’ve hit Coral Room, the hotel’s buzzing bar with bright glossy walls that give new meaning to its namesake color.

THE KENSINGTON 109-113 Queen’s Gate / +44 207 589.6300 There’s a sense, on being welcomed through the double-framed doors of The Kensington hotel, of stepping back in time to a more genteel age, when good service was second nature. The hotel’s luxurious white stucco façade—a collection of four 19th-century townhouses in this posh part of town, full of stately prewar buildings and embassies—and the Victorian grandeur of its high ceilings, heritage decor, and open fireplaces evoke something of a bygone era. The Kensington is less of a city hotel and more like your own pied-à-terre (albeit with a finely trained staff to meet your every need, from herbal teas delivered to the edge of your freestanding, footed soaking tub at night to ticket arrangements at Royal Albert Hall). Here, London society comes together, whether for afternoon tea in the airy drawing rooms, cocktails in the glamorous K Bar, or dinner in the refined Townhouse restaurant. After a tour of nearby Kensington Palace, the Natural History Museum, or the Victoria and Albert Museum, it’ll feel just like coming home upon your return to The Kensington.

A stone’s throw from the department stores and boutiques of Oxford Street and Mayfair and the independent restaurants and markets of Marylebone High Street, The Marylebone hotel reflects the energy of this charming yet buzzing village within the city. From the polished appeal of the hotel’s restaurant, 108 Brasserie (don’t skip the house-made artisanal gin), to a yoga class in the decked courtyard, or a spin and a dip at the Third Space gym, pool, and spa—the hotel is like a self-contained village of its own.

Bringing Out The Beauty In Everyone by

Brooke Kelly: When did you realize your passion for makeup? Charlotte Tilbury: I discovered makeup and became fascinated by its power when I was 13—it changed my life. I went away to boarding school and I started wearing mascara. Overnight, everyone reacted to me in a very different way; I was instantly more empowered, magnetic, and mesmerizing—I felt enriched with confidence. BK: Who is your biggest inspiration? CT: Inspiration comes to me in many different ways. I have a mix of creatives, visionaries, and rule-breakers that I look to for inspiration. From Helena Rubenstein, Coco Chanel, and Walt Disney to Steve Jobs, Winston Churchill, and Estée Lauder—the list goes on. I also always get inspired by need: “necessity is the mother of all invention” [Plato]. I am always thinking about how to find a solution to problems, from concealing imperfections to re-emitting light to more flattering angles of the face, or sculpting celebrity limbs without going to the gym.

BK: What are the best Charlotte Tilbury products out there right now? CT: Darling, my brand-new Magic Away Liquid Concealer is unlike anything you have seen before! It’s my secret weapon for all skin concerns. I liken it to a magic wand of makeup because it makes your skin wishes come true! It’s as if you’ve completely hidden the appearance of pores, rolled over any contours, smoothed fine lines, etc. There’s also my award-winning Charlotte’s Magic Cream, which instantly floods the face with moisture. From the start of my career, I was known for amazing skin before amazing makeup. I always say you can’t have a beautiful painting without a beautiful canvas. I never apply makeup without it; it gives me the perfect glowing base. BK: What does makeup mean to you? CT: My philosophy is: “Give a woman the right makeup and she can conquer the world!” I really believe makeup can change your life—it has this incredible power to transform and boost every woman’s confidence. I call it the psychology of makeup—if you look good, you feel good, and you exude confidence that the world reacts to in a more positive way. Makeup is every woman’s secret weapon, and my beauty brand gives all women—from 18 to 80—award-winning, easy-to-use, easy-to-choose, easy-to-gift makeup and skincare options that are confidence-boosting. All of my products are years in the making, with the sole aim of making women look and feel like the most beautiful versions of themselves. Because I have grown up in this world, a lot of my products were about bottling celebrity DNA and giving it to women everywhere. I always jest that before a product lands on the shelves of my Beauty Wonderlands it has been tried and tested on 20 celebrity guinea pigs, and they likely have given feedback on my latest innovation before it reaches you. u

Life On The Fly: The Evolution Of Blade b r o o k e k e l ly

Fly Blad e

This spread: Blade offers the option to land directly on your waterfront property in the Hamptons via seaplane; the company recently introduced Montauk Sky, a relaunch of the aviation brand founded in 1942 by Raymond and Schuyler Tilney (above right), two brothers in the U.S. Air Force.

’Tis the season for sharing. Today you can share rides via Uber or Lyft, rent out your home on Airbnb, borrow clothes through Rent the Runway, or use flexible office space with WeWork. And now, for those with a lax wallet, Fly Blade has opened private aviation to the public. Founded in 2014 by Steve Martocci and Blade CEO Rob Wiesenthal, the company debuted as an “Uber for helicopters.” Through a phone app and the click of a button, anyone in need of a chopper could launch a charter flight to a given destination. Blade would then sell the remaining seats in its app and add credits back to your account for future travel. FA L L 2 0 1 8 /

This concept of crowdsourcing private flights has significantly lowered the cost of flying a helicopter. Through this model, you can now hop on a chopper for as little as $195 as compared to the $3,000 it would have cost five years ago. Due to the popularity and vast funding of the company (which raised $38 million this year alone, bringing the total to about $60 million), Blade has now expanded its offerings to include flights via seaplanes, jets, and more, depending on destination and preference. In addition to crowdsourcing flights and its private charter services, Blade also allows for bookings on a seat-by-seat basis to popular destinations, with one of the most coveted being the Hamp-

tons—understandable for those who have experienced the unbearable traffic and long trips on the Long Island Expressway. One-way seats on Blade choppers departing from various locations in Manhattan to the Hamptons (from Quogue to East Hampton) can be booked instantly for $695 to $795. But it’s not only the app’s convenience that has made its flights so desirable; the company has transformed a simple commute into an unforgettable experience that begins immediately upon setting foot into one of its lounges, which are unlike any typical heliport. After arriving at the lounge, the flight check-in process takes a maximum of five minutes to complete. You are then welcomed into a chic sitting area decorated by ’60s-inspired forms of art and a fully stocked open bar with snacks and spirits, with the most requested drink being rosé. The servers dress in uniforms by Bandier and assure your drink is provided in the iconic blade sippy cup for your flight. While you only need to arrive 15 minutes prior to departure, many opt to show up hours before—to hang out, do work, relax, or

Earlier this summer, Blade introduced Montauk Sky, an aviation service between Teterboro and Montauk that honors the no-frills sensibility of the Hamptons surf town. Montauk Sky was originally founded in 1942 by Raymond and Schuyler Tilney, two brothers in the U.S. Air Force, to fly fresh lobster to Manhattan. Soon after, people began hitching rides from Montauk to Manhattan for $5. After a 70-year hiatus, Wiesenthal has relaunched the fabled line, and for just $345 one-way seats, guests are treated to beer, chips, lobster rolls, and laid-back music onboard a Cessna Grand Caravanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a nod to the simpler time in which the brand originated. Outside of the Hamptons services, Blade arranges flights between Manhattan and Nantucket, Miami, and Palm Beach. The company also recently expanded to the West Coast, where it services the Los Angeles area, as well as flights to and from Burning Man, and will continue to conquer new territories in the coming years. u

Despite their signature angst and knack for bending rules, high school and college students alike have always played it cool when it comes to fashion: setting standards and steering outdated trends toward the door. In honor of their tastemaking ways, in the Fall issue of Q we take a stroll through classrooms and dorm rooms, and across campuses of seasons past, looking back at the sometimes comical—though always adventurous—styles sported by young adults throughout the decades. Off the back of World War I, fashion became more accessible to Americans, including teens across the country. It was an era of sartorial risk-taking defined by jazz music and Prohibition. The most daring style was coined the “flapper” look and was marked by silk drop-waist dresses, fringe, headbands, and felt hats. Boys’ fashion was notably dressy. Teens wore smaller versions of their father’s suits. Lapels were rounded, and trousers were pleated and loose-fitting. The 1930s was marked by retailers’ awareness that teens were willing to spend money on fashion. In the spring of 1934, Sears promoted their first-ever “High School Shop.” However, families didn’t have much disposable income, as it was the height of the Great Depression, which lead to the invention of “feed sack” dresses—actual dresses made out of the sacks that held chicken feed. In the mid-1920s, companies purposely started packaging chicken feed in dress-quality fabric, and by the ’30s, many feed sacks came with desirable floral prints. Despite the fact that numerous Americans made their dresses out of reused fabric, it was also the golden era of theater, and teens were inspired by Hollywood starlets

among the likes of Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow, and Marlene Dietrich. Popular trends included dresses that hit above the ankle, knit day suits, and maxi skirts paired with matching sweaters. For men, the 1930s were considerably masculine, in contrast with ultra-feminine women’s style. Because money was tight, retailers offered outfit packages that included a suit, a hat, socks, two dress shirts, a tie, and a pair of shoes for just $25. In 1940, teen boys who graduated high school were often drafted for war. Their adult reality reflected in their fashion; they wore suits. In their teens, boys graduated from knickers to slacks (usually high-waisted and pleated). Their suit jackets were usually double-breasted with wide collars, in blue pinstripes or tan plaid. For women during this era, A-line pleated skirts in solid colors or plaid were popular, but only if they hit below the knee. These could be worn with a tailored jacket or a sweater and button-up blouse with a Peter Pan collar. Tight sweaters (usually in brushed wool or angora) gained massive popularity among Hollywood starlets, dubbed “sweater girls.” To complete the look, girls donned bobby socks and a pair of saddle shoes or loafers.

The reign of the teenager—and teen fashion—didn’t truly begin until the 1950s, when rock and roll flooded radio waves. As Elvis Presley shook his hips across North America, high schoolers expressed their newfound influence and status via their clothing. For girls, poodle skirts were all the rage. According to some sources, the poodle skirt was invented by actress-turned-designer Juli Lynne Charlot, who sewed a felt Christmas tree onto a skirt because she didn’t have anything festive to wear to a Christmas party. Even if some teens weren’t buying into the poodle skirt trend, flared circle skirts paired with pastel-colored sweaters and collared blouses were a common uniform. Boys either gravitated toward a preppy casual look with long-sleeved button-ups and slacks, or a rebellious greaser look with white T-shirts, black leather jackets, and jeans (as immortalized in ’70s hit musical Grease). The 1960s marked a shift of power in the fashion industry. Rather than fashion designers dictating every trend, suddenly younger people had a huge amount of influence over what was or wasn’t in style. Designers started attuning looks to younger generations, giving them a fashion scene all their own. Suddenly London, rather than Paris, had become the center of the fashion world. In 1965, Diana Vreeland, editor-in-chief of Vogue, exclaimed, “London is the most swinging city in the world at the moment.” Writer Piri Halasz coined the phrase “Swinging London” in her April 15, 1966, article in Time magazine; other authors followed suit in using the same term while writing about London in the early part of the 1960s.

The ’60s was the decade of Mod, especially for teens. Though First Lady Jackie Kennedy was a wildly influential figure in fashion who brought shift dresses and pillbox hats to the American home, that style wasn’t as popular with your average high school student. While mothers and young professional reached for Kennedy’s signature style, teens were influenced by music, not politicians. On the heels of the British invasion with bands like the Beatles surging in popularity, London’s influence flooded the United States. The 1960s marked the era of the girl group, the gamine supermodel and the original “It” girls (Jean Shrimpton, Françoise Hardy, Jane Birkin…), all of whom still influence this generation’s Alexa Chungs, et al. The ’60s continue to provide designers of today with endless inspiration, from the enduring Hermès Birkin bag (which some consider a better investment than gold), to Dior’s feminist take on Edie Sedgwick’s Factory Girl style (which popped up in the SS18 collections). Mary Quaint, a fashion designer often viewed as the woman behind the massive Mod movement, is credited with creating the miniskirt—the defining ’60s fashion choice for teen girls.

to offset her gaunt frame, championed this style and the psychedelic, brightly colored patterns that marked the decade. Mod style was also popular among teenage boys—key items included polos, tailored suit jackets, narrow trousers, and Chelsea boots. However, as skirts got shorter, hippie culture took some high-schoolers in the opposite direction, with boys and girls alike rocking long bell-bottom pants, and even longer hair. In the 1970s, teens were still growing their hair out as the sounds of the Bee Gees, David Bowie, and Donna Summer began to radiate through high-school hallways. With disco in full force and Charlie’s Angels keeping audiences glued to their couches, fashion picked up right where hippie culture left it. Hemlines were all over the place in the ’70s. Autumn months called for tartan plaid, turtlenecks, and long hair. Ali MacGraw’s fashionable turn in Love Story secured a place in our hearts for ribbed turtlenecks, plaid skirts, camel coats, and collegiate chic forever. The 1980s saw the rise of pop princesses like Cyndi Lauper and Madonna, both of whom sported styles that teens were eager to steal. With MTV pounding its way into teenage-inhabited living rooms across the country, musicians became the most influential—and accessible—fashion icons. Neon colors were

splashed across every article of clothing, and acid-washed denim was deemed acceptable on both jackets and pants. Shoulder pads also had a mega moment, with preppy high-school aged girls donning oversized blazers with exaggerated shoulders (think 1980s cult film Heathers). By the 1990s, high-schoolers were ready to embrace their teenage angst head-on, diving deep into grunge. Taking their lead from bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam, teens turned to oversized plaid flannels, high-waisted stonewashed jeans, and combat boots, as they tuned in to watch Claire Danes drool over “Jordan Catalano” in My So Called Life. Fashion in the ’90s also saw the flipside of grunge: the preppy redux. Mixing the short skirts and bright colors of mod with the tailored looks of the ’50s, girls rocked tartan kilts, knee socks, and babydoll dresses in true Cher Horowitz style. Prep guys found their sartorial match in the boarding school boys featured in films like School Ties and Scent of a Woman. Now that we are in the 21st century, it’s interesting to look back and see how teen and young-adult fashion has changed over the years—yet has also remained the same. Mod mini skirts are everywhere today, plaid has made a big comeback, ’70s-style sequins are definitely en vogue, assertive shoulders and pops of neon were everywhere throughout the Fall 2018 runways, and “prep” will always manage to figure its way onto high school and college campuses. Of course, the angst and penchant for bending rules remains, as expressed in high-school and college fashion choices throughout the globe (a favorite is still the beloved personalized text tee, with everything from “College,” to “I’m With Me,” to modern emoji faces scrawled across the chest). The script may change, but the message remains the same: confidence, determination, and original spirit. u

Flint’s eponymous label boasts a cult following of household names like Lady Gaga, Kristen Stewart, Heidi Klum, Amal Clooney, and, most notably, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. What attracts both Hollywood and literal royalty to Sarah Flint is perhaps the styles’ everyday wearability and understated-chic aesthetic. And, it doesn’t hurt that the brand is aligned with some powerhouse celebrity backing as well.

direct-to-consumer model. By leaving such doors as Barneys New York, Bloomingdale’s, and Shopbop.com, Flint was able to slash prices by nearly 50 percent ($350 is the average). Cutting out the middle man, the designer offers the best quality—all of her pieces are handmade in centuries-old Italian factories—for an improved value, something she believes consumers even at the highest end are becoming more attuned to. “I wanted to introduce this level of quality and craftsmanship to the next generation,” she explains. “A lot of my top customers—you’ll see them wearing Cucinelli pants, a Chanel bag, and our Emily pump. There’s a lot more transparency now.” So how did this New Yorker break into some of the city’s most elite retailers, walk away from them, and become a favorite of fashion’s biggest influencers, all before the age of 30? We sat down with her to find out.

Ann Loynd Burton: You broke into the shoes industry, a notoriously tough business, at age 24. How did you do it? Sarah Flint: This was what I wanted to do since I could even think about what I wanted to do. I was hyperfocused, ever since I wanted to wear my patent leather tap shoes to school. I was always drawing and sketching as a kid, then I went to FIT in New York for design. I felt there was space for shoes that were not only beautiful but also wearable. Then, I moved to Italy to study manufacturing. I learned about the engineering that goes into shoe design and had a mentor who worked with one of the premier factories outside of Milan. He got me into that factory to start sampling. Getting the manufacturing right is the hard part, and that was a lucky break I had there. It was a lot of hard work… It looks like immediate success now, but there were ups and downs.

ALB: Did you face skepticism as a young designer? SF: Definitely, but more so in Italy than I did here. In New York, the fashion industry is used to young designers, but it was a challenge in the factories in Italy. ALB: What made you pivot to selling direct? SF: I really wanted to offer the best price-to-quality ratio on the market. Selling direct-to-consumer allows you to sell basically at wholesale to the customers. We’re still made in the top factory, but we’re able to offer a better price. That’s allowed me to take some of the margin and put it back into the product— like with added arch support and a new proprietary outsole. ALB: Tell me about your partnership with Cindy Crawford—I hear you have a new collaboration for fall. SF: Cindy has been a longtime customer. She came on around the time of the pivot as an investor and advisor. We’re working on a really cool collaboration that will launch this fall called Sarah Flint x Cindy Crawford: The Jet Set. Cindy is always on the go, so she wanted to have three shoes you could wear from day to night. We did a combat boot with a chunky heel, a day-to-evening heel, and a skimmer flat.

ALB: You seem to align yourself with strong female figures. How do you feel your brand empowers women? SF: The amazing thing about fashion, and shoes in particular, is that when you put on an amazing pair of shoes, it literally affects the way you stand and how you feel about yourself. We’re so focused on fit and wearability because the least empowering thing you can do is put on a pair of uncomfortable shoes and walk into a meeting. When you feel beautiful and comfortable, you feel that much more empowered. My shoes feel feminine in their detailing, and I think there’s a cool tension between the ideas of femininity and power. You can be feminine and powerful. ALB: What do you think makes your shoes such a favorite among celebrities? SF: I do a lot with everyday essentials, and I think what’s cool about our celebrity following is that you see people wearing the shoes in their day-to-day lives—Heidi Klum on the soccer field or Amal Clooney walking into the U.N.—not just on the red carpet. Making a product that people want to live their lives in is so important to me. And it’s cool to see them repeat styles, especially living in such a world of never wearing the same thing twice. That’s a fun part for me. u

Artful Ateliers Ann Loynd burton

As the speed of fashion accelerates each season, one tradition that remains is Paris Couture Week. Collections presented aren’t about trends per se, but instead focus on craftsmanship, design, and new approaches met with age-old techniques. This season’s offerings include intricate embroidery, fine lace, and delicate crochet along with high-volume ruching and chunky shaved furs, both real and faux. We’re going behind the scenes of three standouts—Christian Dior, Valentino, and Fendi—to examine the mood and aesthetic they shared. Different as the designers may be, these three houses all agree on one concept: that couture lives at the intersection of fashion and art.

> Christian Dior Haute Couture This summer, the Musée Rodin in Paris housed a different kind of sculpture for a day. Set among a high-ceilinged gallery of mannequins dressed in white dresses, models walked the runway donning Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Autumn-Winter Haute Couture collection, which “paid tribute to the sacred and timeless place that is the atelier.” By focusing on the avant-garde, Grazia Chiuri likens her couture collection to that of art, as opposed to fashion that must keep up with the speed-of-light ready-to-wear market. It’s no surprise, then, that the line felt utterly timeless, showcasing an array of gowns and suiting with a focus on tailoring with a twist—like a suit jacket with batwing sleeves, or, as the designer puts it: “The real transgression lies in referring to the rules while twisting their syntax.” As always in couture, the devil is in the details. Meticulous appliqués, embroidery, and pleating adorned gowns juxtaposed with a simple bustier. Accessories were equally thoughtful, with refined costume jewelry, veils, and hats that complemented the collection of powdery hues without upstaging them. FA L L 2 0 1 8 /

> Fendi Last year, Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Fendi’s couture show was affectionately referred to as haute fourrure for its annual introduction of fur coats, stoles, and suiting. This year, the brand dropped that moniker to fall (somewhat) in line with the likes of Gucci, Versace, and Michael Kors, who have since vowed to go fur-free. While Fendi still debuted plenty of the real stuff, the offering was a mixed bag of faux and legitimate, though you really wouldn’t be able to discern the difference. One opening coat used frayed chiffon to create a colorful piece that could easily be mistaken for mink. As Fendi puts it, “An opulent guessing game of texture and technique, the collection dances between sublime tradition and new realities in Haute Couture Innovation.” It’s a smart move on the parts of the designer, as the United Kingdom’s Labour Party is working to place restrictions on fur imports. To diversify its offerings, Fendi’s expected collection of coats walked the runway along with an array of gowns, skirts, and jackets noted for their fine crochet, delicate lace, and intricate beading. > Valentino As if out of a dream, designer Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Fall Couture presentation, which closed out the week in Paris this past July, left founder Valentino Garavani literally in tears, if you believe the reports. It’s not a stretch, given the show’s artful execution at the Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild and the collection’s range of inspiration—drawn from 17th-century paintings to Greek mythology and even Ziggy Stardust. Loads of volume (on the ’60s beehive hairstyles as well as the gowns) in vibrant colors were intermixed with softer silhouettes and hues—like a mauve feather gown straight out of a Disney movie—were followed by flamboyant capes and cropped trousers. Intricate patchworks, exquisite brocades, embroidery, and over-the-top ruffles prove each piece warrants a closer look. Exaggerated proportions met with extravagant headwear (read: flower helmets) prove fashion really can be art. Though museum-quality in execution, this collection offers pieces that can be worn to a gala or even a daytime affair, to be sure. A chiffon cape, structured Bermuda shorts, or a lamé jacket, perhaps? We’d wear it on the red carpet. u

Capricorn Dec. 22 to Jan. 19 If long summer days had you feeling a little lazy, get ready for a major energy boost this fall, as Saturn and Pluto come into your sign. This alignment is ripe for new challenges, so sign up for that new trendy workout class you’ve been thinking about. > Angela Lindvall: January 14, 1979

Cancer June 21 to July 22

Aquarius Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Leo July 23 to Aug. 23

Water Bearers just wanna’ have fun! With Mars spending the season in your sign, you’ll be living your best life this fall. But be sure to use some of that positive energy for productive means. Join a charity gala planning committee, perhaps. > Ronald Reagan: February 6, 1911

Need a fresh start? With Uranus in Taurus, Leos will be fueled with ideas for new beginnings. Perhaps it’s time to take a step back from that catty group of friends to forge different relationships in a new social endeavor—sign up for an art class or new gym routine. Charlize Theron: August 7, 1975

Pisces Feb. 19 to Mar. 20 It’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor, Fish. The Harvest Moon enters your sign September 24, which means all your hard work— whether it’s a new workout regime or a project at the office—is about to pay off. But keep at it if you want to continue to reap the rewards. > C. Z. Guest: February 19, 1920

Virgo Aug. 24 to Sept. 22 With your solar season lasting through early fall, Virgos are off to a smooth start. The universe is in your favor, so it’s time to get organized and turn some of those lofty ambitions into concrete plans—whether it’s organizing a trip through Europe or launching a tech start-up. > Blake Lively: August 25, 1987

Aries Mar. 21 to Apr. 19 Does autumn feel like a fresh beginning for you, Ram? Your go-getter attitude will be going strong through the season, and you’ll even get an extra boost from the full moon in your sign on October 24. Now is the time to launch that new venture you’ve been dreaming of. > Clementine Churchill: April 1, 1885

Libra Sept. 23 to Oct. 22 Feeling the heat? Through October 22, your solar season offers an extra dose of charm for Libras, so now is the time to finally make that Bumble profile. Already taken? You might take your relationship to the next level this fall by reaffirming old vows or growing your family. > Brigitte Bardot: September 28, 1934

Taurus Apr. 20 to May 20 Although you may not have an affinity for change, 2018 is the year for Bulls to grab life by the horns. An ongoing retrograde in Uranus means a period of growth and change, so it’s time to learn to roll with the punches. You’ll feel more settled come winter. > Audrey Hepburn: May 4, 1929

Scorpio Oct. 23 to Nov. 21 When the solar season enters your house on October 23, you’ll be feeling extra wise, Scorpio, and friends will flock to you for counsel. Enjoy this turn in the spotlight, but remember to take your own advice and make decisions with conviction and compassion this season. > Grace Kelly: November 12, 1929

Gemini May 21 to June 20

Sagittarius Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Fall has been good to Gems, but be cautious of Mercury’s retrograde beginning in November. With technology and communications going haywire, be extra cautious of how your words—and actions— are interpreted by others. > John F. Kennedy: May 29, 1917

Mid-November, Mercury’s retrograde will hit Sags especially hard, and you might feel a dip in energy. Take the time in early fall to plan ahead for the upcoming holiday season, and then avoid making any big decisions (like a move or career shift) until after the new year. > Frank Sinatra: December 12, 1915

Co n d é N as t; Ge tt y

It’s time to harness that pent-up ambition and look at the big picture, Cancer. The season is full of energy and focus for your sign. Now that summer’s languid days are over, start organizing that new business or charity idea you dreamed up on the beach. > George W. Bush: July 6, 1946
