hree beauties with uniquely Australian sensibilities and
backgrounds – Margot Robbie, Adut Akech and Charlee
Fraser – headline this September issue.
Margot is captured by photographer Mario Sorrenti and
styled by her friend, fashion director Christine Centenera, on
four collectable covers that are as diverse in personality as her characters
are on screen. Quentin Tarantino, who directed her in the blockbuster
filmOnce Upon a Time in ... Hollywood, alongside Brad Pitt and Leonardo
DiCaprio, sat down with the actress forVog ueto discuss her meteoric
rise to fame and quiz her about how she got there and where she came
from – see page 188. Margot’s mum, Sarie Kessler, highlights her
tenacity and individuality, which Sarie says was obvious from the
beginning, in a touching conversation with her daughter, from page
- What’s clear from both interviews is that Margot’s personality is
infectious, and always has been, and her down-to-earth attitude shines
through. Her dreams were hatched in sunny Queensland, which might
also best describe her natural disposition, but her determination to
succeed is a national trait. Yes, there’s also been the odd sprinkling
of luck along the way, but then again she hails from the lucky country.
Creative director Jillian Davison envisioned Adut in elfin ears in
a dark, romantic fashion fairytale. Up-and-coming Irish photographer
Andrew Nuding photographed Adut on one of her regular trips home to
visit her family. Adut’s story is well known to readers ofVog ue. She is the
Sudanese-born supermodel who arrived in Australia at the age of eight
with her large family via a Kenyan refugee camp. As the guest editor
of our sister publication BritishVog uethis month, Meghan, Duchess of
Sussex included her on the cover as a “force for change”. And as I write,
Adut is back in Adelaide in the new home she recently bought forT
