The new issue of Elle will hit newsstands a day early: on Wednesday, September 20, a date that coincides with the start of Milan Fashion Week and which the weekly Hearst Italia celebrates with a special Fashion Issue. An issue that does not go unnoticed right from the cover: dedicated to Constance Jablonski, who talks about herself in an exclusive interview: we learn that the French super top model (but from a Polish family) dreamed of becoming a cosmetic surgeon, and ended up conquering the catwalks and covers of everything world, becoming a testimony, including for Estée Lauder. She is the main character of the first of three shoots, telling the story of future autumn-winter fashion in 50 seasonal looks. Another exclusive interview worth reading is with Charlize Theron, where the actress talks about her family and her relationship with fashion, with a special focus on a project she collaborated on for Breitling. Even more interesting is her commitment to her ethical vision of fashion: “I was born in South Africa, and the topic of resource exploitation is close to my heart. The luxury supply chain must be managed with integrity to leave hope for new generations.”
This sentiment is echoed by Adriana Di Lello, Elle’s deputy fashion director, who signs off the issue’s editorial with a provocative reflection on the environmental impact of fashion shows: “It makes sense to have thousands of people from five continents flying on planes. , drive blue cars, sleep in hotel rooms, consume water and food, produce waste, in short, pollute the environment in more than significant quantities? (…) can’t you find a little creativity to send ethical spam emails online? One of the few good things about the pandemic has been the forced digital testing (…). Can’t we realize this harbinger of new creativity and leave live performances aside? Also update the sector a little. If not for us, then for new generations.”
Other features of the new Elle include the return of an unforgettable brand from the swinging Milan of the 70s and 80s: Fiorucci, a visit to Christian Louboutin’s new dream boutique hotel in Portugal and a focus on one of the trends of the moment: The “over” trend: the macro oversized coat size, huge pockets and a kilometer hem.
