“HEAD No2 1916” BY NAUM GABO

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THIS ISSUE TALK SUPERHEROES AND SHOOT DISASTERS

There are plenty of things that

can wreak havoc on a fashion

shoot: torrential rain, gale-force

winds, fading light, an MIA model...

Unfortunately for makeup artist

NATASHA SEVERINO, she faced

all this and more for our “Daily Grind” story

(p106). “After having hair and makeup done

at the beginning of the shoot, we weathered

the elements for the first pic. Then we had

to reset – everyone was soaked. But we

had to roll with it and laugh all the way. It was

a challenging shoot, but the job got done.”

ELLE’s acting beauty and fitness

directorSARA McLEANhas never

beenvery mystically minded, but

after exploring the emerging world

of crystals in skincare (“Game Of

Stones”, p148), she may just be coming

around. “One thing I learned is that carrying

a moonstone in your bra helps you harness

your inner goddess and charges your feminine

energy,” she says. “I’ve been doing it for a few

weeks and while I’m not completely convinced,

I do feel a sudden urge to wield a baseball bat

and don a yellow Roberto Cavalli dress. Strange.”

Going on the set ofWonder Woman

to meet Gal Gadot (“Waiting For

Gadot”, p56), Amsterdam-based

Aussie writerELLIE PACKERwas

pleasantly surprised. “She was the

most humble, lovely and genuinely

warm celebrity I’ve ever interviewed,” Packer

says. And the actress is pretty kick-ass, too. “She

said to me, ‘If we all had a bit of Wonder Woman

inside us, the world would be a better place.’ It

wasn’t long after Trump had won the US election,

so I said, ‘Can’t you be the next president?’ And

she replied, ‘I can’t. I’m an immigrant!’”
