Monster’s Ball

There is a word that talks of our attraction to fear. Frisson. To feel a thrilling shiver. Sometimes even our nightmares can be beautiful. The monster Medusa was once the most beautiful woman in the world until she was punished by a goddess and cursed with snakes as hair. But the snake is an ancient symbol of sensuality and wisdom.

Behind the Mask

For its latest print edition, GRAZIA travelled to Venice to honour the annual “Carnevale di Venezia”, a bygone carnival of anonymity. We paid homage to the event’s licentious history with regal lace, cut-outs, capes and corsets. Embellishments, ruffles, leathers and feathers collide in a play on textures for the senses – a renaissance of the festival fare of the past, alongside different types of masks that still feature in modern day revelry; the Columbina (half mask), the Volto (white mask) Medico della Peste (bird-like mask)

Take The Crown

Evoke the unmistakable aura of times past with majestic high jewellery inspired by pharaonic finery and the mysteries of Egypt fit for a modern day queen.

Changing Of The Garde

Rules are for the fearful, for the scions of antiquities. Now is the time for the style heretic, whose faith in a neo-nobility, means patents with tulles, quilting with satins, ensembles of the surreal and pieces both utilitarian and esoteric. For it is they who conjure the theatre of the elaborate in deliberate and fastidious detail. They delight in the schism of splintered opinions but they leave doubt and normale in their dust

Perched atop a mirrored table laden with delicate macarons and ornately decorated confections, British supermodel, actress, and activist Jourdan Dunn coquettishly throws a handful of cake at the camera. A giant clock rests against an antique fireplace, keeping a watchful eye over the proceedings, and a super-sized game of chess is in progress on the chequerboard floor. This can only be GRAZIA’s Mad Hatter’s Tea Party celebrating the colour, joy and surrealism of season by way of the most fanciful creations the fashion world has imagined, and everyone’s invited...
