In little more than a year, Lupita Nyong’o has made the leap from serious student to Oscar-winning actress and head-turning fashion star. Hamish Bowles catches up with Hollywood’s newest golden girl.

Marrakech in May is unseasonably tagine-hot. Hapless tourists are being felled by sunstroke merely from sauntering across the city’s pulsing medina square, which is all but abandoned by the native food and trinket traders, snake-charmers, and storytellers who will throng it in the desert cool of evening.

But in the oasis sanctuary of the Ksar Char-Bagh, all is balmy dolce far niente. A luxe spa hostelry built in imitation of a castle-like fort in the middle of the Palmeraie, it has crenellated towers that hide a private dipping pool and afford views down to a central marbled courtyard modeled on Granada’s Moorish Alhambra, and across the palm groves to the distant Atlas Mountains. Guests are lounging poolside in the shade of an allée of date palms, seemingly oblivious of the Academy Award–winning deity in their midst, who is the focus of the Vogue cover shoot in full fluster around them.

Jewelry has long been a symbol of elegance, luxury, and personal identity, but in recent years, it has taken on a new dimension as an essential part of street fashion. On sidewalks around the world, from Tokyo and Seoul to Paris and New York, accessories once reserved for formal occasions are being reimagined and integrated into casual, everyday looks. Street jewelry fashion is bold, expressive, and ever-changing. It thrives on layering, mixing materials, clashing styles, and above all, reflecting individual flair.

The leather jacket has long been a staple of rebellious fashion and timeless cool. From Marlon Brando to modern streetwear icons, this wardrobe essential has transcended decades and subcultures, proving its staying power in fashion. Dressing stylishly with a leather jacket goes beyond simply throwing it over your shoulders. It’s about how you pair it, how you layer it, and how you let it reflect your personal aesthetic. Whether you prefer a sleek moto cut, a vintage bomber, or a cropped style, the leather jacket is endlessly versatile and adaptable for every wardrobe.


Street style has become one of the most powerful forces in shaping modern fashion, influencing not only runways but retail and real-life wardrobes around the world. At the heart of this sartorial movement lies one key accessory that continues to make bold statements: the handbag. No longer just a functional item, handbags in street style fashion have transformed into icons of personal expression, status symbols, and outfit-defining pieces that can elevate even the simplest look.

When it comes to nailing casual glamour, few do it better than Alessandra Ambrosio. The Brazilian supermodel, known for her beachy waves, sun-kissed glow, and laid-back elegance, has long been a style icon both on and off the runway. One of her signature go-to looks? Short shorts, styled to perfection with a mix of bohemian flair and model-off-duty edge. Whether she’s strolling through the streets of Malibu, heading to a music festival, or running errands in Los Angeles, Alessandra proves that short shorts are a versatile wardrobe staple sexy yet wearable, playful yet elevated.

At Milan Fashion Week Spring 2014, Tezuk presented a collection that effortlessly fused laid-back elegance with youthful energy, perfectly suited for the season’s call for lightness and freedom. Known for its stylish, beach-inspired DNA and playful approach to modern femininity, Tezuk’s Spring 2014 show brought a breath of fresh air to the runway with its relaxed silhouettes, sunny palette, and wearable allure.

In June 2014, Vogue Brazil created an electrifying fusion of fashion, fame, and national pride by featuring supermodel Gisele Bündchen and football superstar Neymar Jr. on its cover. Released to coincide with the 2014 FIFA World Cup, hosted in Brazil, this issue was more than just a fashion spread, it was a cultural moment. The pairing of Gisele and Neymar, two of Brazil’s most globally recognized icons, felt timely, powerful, and entirely deliberate. It celebrated not only their individual achievements in modeling and sports but also what they represented collectively: Brazilian excellence on the world stage.

After completing fashion design studies in Rome, followed by years working as a designer in Barcelona, Scottish born Ann McCreath took a three-month break doing aid work in Kenya. Finding it fascinating, she stayed on for 3 years, before deciding to go back to her profession and do trade instead of aid.

So in 1996 With a desire to help create jobs in rural areas and make unique, high quality products for retail Ann launched her own fashion house under the name “KikoRomeo”, which means “Adam’s apple” in Kiswahili.. Hoping Kenyans would take pride in African-inspired contemporary fashion, and promote their economy through buying locally made fashion, she set about making ethically sound products with inputs from community artisans and women’s groups, which she retailed through her own shop. Since then KikoRomeo has continued to offer ready-made garments, cut to international fashion trends, using African made fabrics, often with handcrafted details.
