17 HRS AGO - The singer on pouting like Lauren Bacall, DIY hairdos, gardening in nightwear and discovering the joys of colourThis was taken in 1981 or 1982, right at the beginning of my career. All my clothes at that time were secondhand – a hangover from being at art college. The top that I wore in the Kids in America video was from Oxfam, and so was this. These are the same boots that I wore in that video, too.I was a big fan of Lauren Bacall – I really loved that she didn’t smile for the camera. When I first started having my photograph taken, lots of male photographers would say: “Come on Kim, give us a smile!” and it used to drive me insane. So I would just think about Bacall and pout furiously, as I am doing in this photograph. I looked thoroughly miserable most of the time, whereas I was having the time of my life. Continue reading...

3 DAYS AGO - The fact that we are all at home gives you time to try something new… like a shot of colour round one eyeDespite minimal face time with the world at large, I still put my face on. Not because I am a beauty editor but because consistency in an unpredictable climate is my coping mechanism. If you can’t be bothered to go the whole hog, consider a minimalist look that is one step beyond the no-makeup mantra. A shot of colour around one eye (as at Jamie Wei Huang SS20) is fun, audacious and, yes, a little edgy but, fundamentally, takes no effort at all. Perhaps in the weeks to come, you’ll find the drive to colour the other one in.1. Chanel Le Liner De Chanel £28, chanel.com 2. Mac Eyeshadow in Steamy £15, maccosmetics.co.uk 3.

3 DAYS AGO - Net-a-Porter reaches customers in 170 countries. But you probably haven’t heard of its global buyer Elizabeth von der Goltz. Here, she talks about nurturing brands, appearing on Netflix and why she will always ‘innately love fashion’If the familiar list of the most influential fashion figures is beginning to sound predictable – sorry Anna, sorry Beyoncé – meet someone who wields no less influence but is not (yet) a household name: Elizabeth von der Goltz.As the global buying director for Net-a-Porter, the world’s largest multibrand luxury retailer, von der Goltz is to fashion what a conductor is to the orchestra: everyone looks to her to see what’s coming next. Her role is to scout, source and nurture brands and designers (from established to emerging, in everything from lingerie to sportswear); cut deals in order sell their designs; and to do everything she can to support the brand and its sales. That’s the basic outline. In reality, her job is a task of titanic proportions. Collapse

3 DAYS AGO - Cool memorabilia, subcultural signifier – and now big business... Why the vintage T-shirt now gets top billingIn the new, rebooted TV version of High Fidelity, Nick Hornby’s Rob, previously played by John Cusack, is a queer woman of colour played by Zoë Kravitz. The nerdish, music snobbery of the original novel prevails; alongside jokes about Creed and soliloquies about getting rid of Michael Jackson’s entire oeuvre, vintage music T-shirts are a battleground.A Cheap Trick tee gets ridiculed, a Miseducation of Lauryn Hill one becomes shorthand for Rob’s co-worker’s tastes and ambitions, and an accidentally destroyed vintage Joy Division T-shirt becomes a metaphor for a toxic relationship. Rob herself mixes achingly cool girl grams (cardigans, DM boots, Matrix jackets) with Wu Tang Clan and Beastie Boys (License to III era) tops. Why those bands? “They’re both awesome and represent going your own way whether it’s deemed cool or not,” says the show’s costume designer Sarah Laux. Collapse
