Everyone’s talking about...

Nadia Lee Cohen

Apologies to Julia Fox and Kanye West, but the best-

dressed guest on the front row at Paris couture was Nadia

Lee Cohen. The 30-year-old model, photographer and

director showed up at the Schiaparelli show last month in

gold Willy Wonka-style glasses and finger caps (left) — no

wonder, then, that she is becoming the fashion world’s

favourite muse. As well as being cast in a Schiaparelli

campaign, Cohen has modelled for Rihanna’s Savage x

Fenty label, and Emma Corrin, Lizzo and Ariana Grande

are among her nearly half a million Instagram followers. As

a photographer she has shot ad campaigns for Kim

Kardashian’s Skims and directed music videos for A$AP

Rocky and Tyler, the Creator. Now based in LA, Cohen

graduated from London College of Fashion and her work

was included in the NPG’s prestigious Taylor Wessing

portrait prize in 2012, when she was aged just 21. In 2020

she released her first photography book, Women, which

features 100 portraits including Euphoria’s Alexa Demie

and Charli XCX, and in December she published Hello

My Name Is... a series of self-portraits in which she

dresses up as 33 different characters. The first limited-

edition drop of 1,000 copies has already sold out, so get on

the waiting list for the next run — and in the meantime

get lost down a surreal wormhole at @nadialeelee.

Meet the

hostess dress

The designers at New York fashion week were making the

case for the return of the old-school dinner party dress this

season: the mid-length, full-skirted, cinch-waisted style best

accessorised with a martini. Think Jackie O, Betty Draper

and Charlotte York-Goldenblatt rolled into one. Batsheva

Hay even held her show in the famous Upper East Side

restaurant Serendipity3 — loved by Marilyn Monroe and the

like — for a collection devoted to the art of dressing up at

home. “I love a voluminous sleeve, but I have to make sure it

doesn’t droop into my sauces when I’m cooking,” she told

WSJ. Come Dine with Me couture!
