Marie Claire Australia

When I started at marie claire last year, I wanted to put actor Gillian Anderson on the cover. Sadly, we’re not friends, and she has no idea who I am (Gillian, call me anytime). So, I started manifesting. Not in a vision board, mantra kind of way. I just kept putting Anderson’s name out to the universe, and crossed my fingers. And then it happened – I saw she was launching a book about sex and all my dreams came true. We had Anderson confirmed for a cover interview plus there was a book coming my way that detailed the erotic fantasies of women from all over the world. As you’ll read in Alexandra English’s interview on page 62, Anderson wants to change the way we talk about sex (baby). She…

Jewellery is more than a simple adornment for Francesca Amfitheatrof. As Louis Vuitton’s artistic director for watches and jewellery, it makes sense that the connection runs much deeper than that. In fact, one of her earliest memories is of a piece of jewellery. “My grandmother had a beautiful gold chain with a large amber pendant, honey-coloured, with a little dragonfly inside,” she tells marie claire. “I used to sit on her knee as a child listening to my grandfather play the piano, watching that pendant swing back and forth. I couldn’t understand how the dragonfly got in there, but I was mesmerised.” It’s just one of the memories she holds dear from a colourful childhood. Born in Tokyo, Amfitheatrof says she’s spent her adult life trying to re-create the adventure of…

When you think of Venus, you might think of Botticelli’s goddess, emerging unadorned from her clam shell. But for 2024, Venus has received a bold new look, courtesy of Swarovski’s spring/summer campaign. Models Karlie Kloss, Irina Shayk and Imaan Hammam are just some of the spectacular talent in front of Steven Meisel’s iconic lens, reimagining the goddess of love dripping in Swarovski’s signature crystal pieces for this oceanic campaign. With the brand’s new collections continuing on a nature-inspired trajectory, you can expect to see more organic, deconstructed shapes and brilliant colours colliding. Founded in 1895, Swarovski earned the moniker of “masters of light” for their innovations in crystal cutting. That design DNA remains embedded in the ultra-modern creations of 2024, which takes the brand to new and contemporary territory. With global…
