NOTICES

“It’s inspiring when an

artist breaks the mould,” says

Alec Maxwell of Kloss Films,

and Vogue’s digital creative

director-at-large, of Lizzo.

Maxwell’s hybrid portraits of

the star – part stills (page 234),

part film – will be released on

Vogue.co.uk later this month.

Actor Olivia

Williams had

little reason to

suspect that

an intolerance

to the sugar in

chocolates and

champagne could

signal a rare

form of cancer.

In her Viewpoint,

on page 139, she

writes of her

shock diagnosis,

and the battle

to survive it.

Where does

Zing Tsjeng –

who, on page 234,

interviews Lizzo,

this year’s breakout

musician – like

to listen to the pop

star’s rousing hits?

“On my walk to

work,” says Tsjeng,

executive editor of

Vice UK. “Nothing

wakes me up

quicker, or cheers

me up faster, than

the opening lines

of ‘Good As Hell’.”

Sali Hughes writes of fragrance

and feminism on page 154.

Her go-to feminist scent?

“Estée Lauder Youth Dew.”

Mrs Lauder smashed a bottle of

it in a store that refused to sell

products made by a woman.

“Customers asked what the

lovely smell was,” says Hughes.

In an essay on page 136,

David Sedaris imagines a

future without retailers

on every high street. Is

there a shop the American

humorist couldn’t live

without? “Dover Street

Market,” he says. “The

staff are so friendly.”

For this month’s cover

story, on page 172, journalist

and activist Paris Lees

(below, on left) met Emma

Watson at The Savoy for an

afternoon of revelations about

fame and feminism. “She

genuinely cares about using

her platform and success to

help lift up other people,” says

Lees of the Little Women actor.

Meanwhile,

Alasdair

McLellan took

to the wilds

of London’s

Bushy Park to

photograph

Emma Watson

(above left)

in looks as

striking

as they are

sustainable.

Author of Why I’m No Longer

Talking to White People About Race,

Reni Eddo-Lodge writes a recent

history of representation in culture,

on page 123. Her top pick? Fairview

at the Young Vic, she says.

“Its perspective-shifting theme is

what I based my piece on.”
