Supermodel GISELE
BUNDCHEN is
photographed by
STEVEN MEISEL
for this month’s cover
story, on page 114

I
’ve lost count of the number of times during my years in fashion publishing
when I’ve heard it said models as cover stars are over. To this statement I’ve
only ever had one response: not on my watch. When it comes to the women
who most often and most purely embody fashion’s course – who by sheer
force of personality can distil a moment, an outfit, a mood – I will always
have the utmost adoration and respect for the professionals.
This month, Vogue heralds a “supermodel summer” with an issue fit to
burst with the brightest stars from across the fashion industry. Our leading
light? It had to be the one and only Gisele. To mark her return to British
Vogue’s cover for the first time in seven years, on page 114 the Brazilian
super stars in an epic 22-page photographic story by Steven Meisel, an ode
to the timeless dazzle of hotel glamour, created over two days on location in
New York. Styling Gisele for the shoot, I found myself once again marvelling
at her boundless facility to create extraordinary fashion imagery. Now a
married mother of two, her energy remains off the hook, her sense of the lens,

kitchen of her Manhattan apartment,

now that she’s in her forties, with the
craziness of youth behind her, she’s
never felt better – and it shows.
Next we hopped the Atlantic for
Paris, where, amid the buzz of a
re-enlivened fashion month, we spent
several days photographing the stars of
today’s runways in their natural
habitat, backstage at the shows.
This new generation of one-namers –
Adut, Kaia, Paloma et al – have found
their way into the hearts of fashion fans
by combining extraordinary beauty
with unique senses of style and all the
relatability of 21st-century digital
intimacy. I love how, with these pictures
on page 144, stylists Jack Borkett and
Gabriella Karefa-Johnson leant into the

Fund, is showcased on Lastly, on page 166, we present the finalists of this year’s BFC/Vogue
page 166, along with
the prize’s full shortlist Designer Fashion Fund. Alongside British Fashion Council’s chief executive
Caroline Rush and our fellow judges, I spent an energised and enlightening
day talking through all of the brilliant fashion talents on the final list and the
important and exciting work they are making. After much deliberation, the
2022 winner is Richard Quinn, an extraordinary designer who has spent
the past few years honing his vision and exquisite craft, sense of pattern,
elevated and esoteric ideas about form and beauty, while never losing sight
of his keen flair for the transgressive. He is a fitting winner and an important
creative who we look forward to supporting more in the years ahead.

For this month’s cover story, on page 114,
JACK DAY; PIERGUIDO GRASSANO; EKUA KING; HUGO YANGUELA

editor of Vogue.com Chioma Nnadi headed

over to supermodel Gisele Bündchen’s New York
apartment for lunch à deux. “There’s nothing better
than getting to know someone over a homemade
meal, and making nourishing food for friends
and family seems like a love language for Gisele.
I learnt so much about her that way.”
COMPILED BY RANYECHI UDEMEZUE.

Annie LORD Derek Blasberg

Ahead of the release of her debut book, Notes
on Heartbreak, Vogue’s dating columnist Annie
Lord reflects on the world of modern love, on
page 92. “I feel quite emotional thinking back over
everything I’ve learnt since starting the column
for Vogue.co.uk in 2020. Even if a lot of those
lessons concern how difficult love is now.”
Writer – and recent wedding guest of Brooklyn
Beckham and Nicola Peltz – Derek Blasberg
lets Vogue in on the nuptials, on page 136.
“The only thing I like more than a fashion show
is a wedding. And this weekend had both.”

SUSTAINABILITY

BACK TO NATURE
Earlier this year, Leonardo DiCaprio
announced he’d invested in an eco-friendly
vineyard in France, called Champagne
Telmont, which immediately made me think:
“How perfect for a green garden party.”
But how many have you attended, or hosted,
that haven’t generated large and rather
inelegant sacks full of paper plates, napkins
and plastic cups? Sure, disposable is
convenient – and, yes, much of it has been
or can be recycled – but wouldn’t it be better
to put together a chic gathering that has a
lower impact on the environment? Inspired
by Leo’s new venture, here are a few ideas
that will lighten your party’s carbon footprint.

need to be present in many more events and many more places to
stay relevant and present in our times,” says Arnault, the third eldest
child of LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault.
Indeed, it is a line out of the LVMH playbook, and something
that Arnault has implemented before, as CEO at Rimowa. He
succeeded in driving exponential growth at the luggage brand, and
in making it hip to boot, with a series of collaborations featuring
the likes of Supreme and Off-White’s Virgil Abloh. Innovation is
even more relevant in his new role, he says, given that “being Tiffany,
being American and being the essence and the epitome of modernity”
are precisely all about staying ahead of the (luxury) game.
Brand elevation is another key factor in Tiffany’s new strategy.
While it will continue to produce bestselling silver jewellery, such
as Elsa Peretti’s iconic Open Heart pendant, Arnault wants to
turn up the volume on Tiffany’s legacy of creating high jewellery.
It is no coincidence that the legendary 128-carat Tiffany Diamond,
first unveiled by founder Charles Lewis Tiffany in 1878, was worn
by Beyoncé in last year’s ad campaign. “We wanted to remind
people that we own the best stones, we own the best craftsmanship,
and we have all this in our company,” he says.
That same yellow diamond was also famously worn by Audrey
Hepburn in 1961’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s, in which the actor, playing
Holly Golightly, peers into the jeweller’s Fifth Avenue windows,
morning coffee and pastry in hand. It is that depth and breadth of
Tiffany’s storytelling that Arnault hopes to bring to life in London
with a major exhibition at Chelsea’s Saatchi Gallery. Opening on
10 June, Vision & Virtuosity puts everything from its earliest jewellery
creations to the black dress Hubert de Givenchy designed for the
movie on public display. Arnault says he first realised the effectiveness
of what, tongue-in-cheek, he calls an “IRL” experience, when he

ulia Sarr-Jamois is wrestling with a rack of puffer jackets.
“The puffer situation is a bit out of control,” she admits,
counting out the multicoloured array squished into the
custom-made pippy-oak cupboards that line the hallway
of her south London apartment. “That’s Balenciaga, that’s
Moschino & Palace, Alaïa, Yeezy & Gap… I’ve got at least
17 here. That’s crazy!” She giggles. “Wanna see the bags?”
The 34-year-old fashion director of British Vogue
doesn’t have a style signature. “I like to mix it up, because
I really love fashion,” she says. “Sometimes I want to be
all pared-back and chic in black, then the next day I’ll
wear camo with a fluorescent jumper and a puffer jacket.”
Her skill is in combining unexpected elements – a
utilitarian jumpsuit with a powder-pink blazer and red
snakeskin ankle boots; leather culottes with a vintage
Alaïa cropped leopard-print sweater – to achieve a
streetwise twist on glamour. Nevertheless, there are some
constants in the sensational luxe-casual wardrobe she has
amassed over a 20-year career in fashion, first as a model,
then as a fashion editor for i-D, Wonderland and Vogue
magazines. These include but are not limited to: puffer
jackets, fuzzy coats, hoodies, tailored trousers, jeans, little
black dresses, silk scarves, Phoebe Philo-era Céline, Nike
trainers and Bottega Veneta handbags.
All of them are immaculately housed in her newly
redesigned 1,800 sq ft duplex, on the first floor of a Grade
II-listed Victorian school conversion, in Kennington.
Partly inspired by the old Céline stores she spent hours
shopping in as one of Philo’s best customers, her wardrobes
were the priority during the renovation, which took place
after she purchased the apartment in 2019. “Storage was
really important to me,” she says, laughing, pulling open
a door to reveal a rainbow-hued selection of neatly folded
T-shirts. “When I was designing it, I told the joiner, ‘It
needs to feel like a shop.’ It’s so much easier to get dressed
when it’s laid out like this.”
Equally key was Julia’s desire to create a stripped-back,
light-filled space that would hero her eclectic collection
of 1970s and 1980s design pieces: two De Sede sofas, a
squishy leather Camaleonda sectional ensemble, a dramatic
Feltri chair by Gaetano Pesce for Cassina, an Ettore
Sottsass Memphis-era Diva mirror and a Warren Platner
for Knoll dining table. She’s always been into furniture.
“When I did my first modelling job, aged 14, I nearly spent
all my earnings on a 1960s Garden Egg chair I’d seen in
the window of a vintage shop in Brixton. It looks like an
egg and then you open it and it’s a chair,” she says, still
delighted at the thought. “When I got this place I was so
excited, because I’d wanted all of these pieces for ever.” >

Sarr-Jamois approached the renovations as she would

a fashion shoot. “I made so many moodboards and did
so much research,” she says. Lofts: Living in Space, a late
’90s sourcebook showcasing urban loft conversions, which
she picked up from a bookshop in New York’s East Village,
provided vintage inspiration. A renovation WhatsApp
group, including the models Edie Campbell and Adwoa
Aboah, provided moral support. “Lots of crying over taps
that haven’t arrived,” she jokes. Out went tired lino floors
and faux Victorian fireplaces and in came parquet, a
stainless-steel kitchen (“Quite Prada, no?”), a Noguchi
lantern and red metal Charlotte Perriand wall lights.
Occasionally, she resorted to Instagram polls to help
inform a tricky decision. “I asked my followers whether
I should paint the railings on the new staircase baby blue
or red, to match the wall lights,” she recalls. “Everyone
said blue, so I went with red!”
That perverse sense of playfulness is on display

another in blue aluminium by the up-and-coming

inherited from her Senegalese grandmother. Growing
up in Brixton with her French mother, Gigi, a textile
designer, ceramicist and vintage fashion aficionado, she
describes her childhood home as colourful. “There was
stuff everywhere – like this shelf times 10,” she recalls.
Her upstairs bedroom, by contrast, is a sanctuary,
minimally decorated save for a thick ballet-slipper-pink
carpet. A giant birch-ply bed dominates the room. “It’s

She’s already running out of space. “Bags,” she sighs.
“So many bags.” She shows me the current models on
rotation, which include an Hermès Kelly bought at auction,
a violet rhinestone-studded Prada bag and several pillowy
Bottega Veneta clutches in paintbox-bright colours. “I’m
thinking I can add some more shelving here.” She gestures
at a narrow strip next to the front door. Regardless, she
won’t be renovating anything else anytime soon. “Whenever
I walk in, I’m just so happy to be home,” she says. “And
when I get into bed, I’m like, ‘Yes!’”

I
just want someone to break my heart,” my
friend Emily said to me the other day over
coffee, exhaling like she was trying to push
all the frustration out of her body. “I want
them to take it and rip it out, just so I can
feel something.” I nodded along. We were
both despondent after meeting men we liked
that had amounted to nothing. Again.
I met my guy when he was on a night
out for his birthday. As we spoke, two of his
friends came over, draping themselves on
either side of his shoulders. “He’s a good guy
you know,” one of them said. My guy shooed
them away but he didn’t have to – I liked
knowing he was loved in that way. Before I
knew it, he was pulling me by my hand to
the dance floor, where he spun me under his
arms until my body started to forget itself.
“Morning, wifey,” he texted me the next
day. “I hope you haven’t forgotten about me.”
“Did you call me wifey ’cause you can’t
remember my name?” I replied.
We carried on like that for a while, until
the conversation did what it always does:
splintered out into nothing.
Non-starters like this have characterised
my dating life for years. When I envisaged
writing about love and sex, I thought I’d be
telling everyone about the married professor
I was seeing or screaming on the street at
the insanely hot guy I have an on-again

he’s been texting one of my friends. Instead,
my love life has largely consisted of deleting
and reinstalling the Hinge app so that the
algorithm resets, and kissing my friends
because there’s no one else around.
In spite of the rise of polyamory and the
abundance of sex on our screens (from
Euphoria to Bridgerton, Normal People to Sex
Education), make no mistake: young people
are living through a “sex recession”. According
to a 2021 study, those between the ages of
18 and 23 are having 14 per cent less casual

The TROUBLE with LOVE

sex than young adults 10 years ago. Throw
in a pandemic and is it any surprise the last
two years have seen me on just a handful of
dates or involved in dismal attempts at
on/off “things” with acquaintances?
The main issue, I have found, is that
nothing ever goes anywhere. People flake and
when they’re not flaking, you are. Finding
love feels like trying to hold on to water.
It’s become increasingly clear to me how
much more straightforward it was for my
parents’ generation. They went from dating
to being in a relationship, but now there are
so many stages: the “talking stage”
(interminably long, notoriously hard to get
past), then the “seeing each other” stage until
the Holy Grail, the most elusive, “exclusive”
stage. And if you manage to get there, who’s
to say you won’t catch the “ick” – that sick
feeling where someone you previously found
attractive suddenly makes your skin itch
because they’ve done something (misspell a
word in a text; ask for marmalade in a café)
you find inexplicably, irrevocably repellent.
It’s rare for an exchanged number to turn
into a date. And if it does, no one actually
specifies that it’s one, they say “coffee?” or
“pint?”, so if there’s no romantic connection
you can both resume as before without any
embarrassment. The only downside being
no one ever knows what’s going on.
Although it feels like I’m always the one
on the receiving end, I know that can’t be
true. “What happened to that guy?” Emily
asked in reference to this friend of a friend
I’d been seeing. “Oh, that’s not a thing
anymore,” I told her and then explained how
he’d stayed until 4pm the last time we had
sex and it made me feel suffocated. Emily
looked at the floor, looked back up at me:
“You know you’re just as bad as them, right?”
According to anthropologist Dr Helen
Fisher, author of Why We Love: The Nature
and Chemistry of Romantic Love, the pre-
courtship stage is a lot longer now because
“today’s singles appear to want to know
everything about a potential partner before
they invest their time, money and energy
into initiating a formal commitment”. The
date, she says, used to function as a “look-
see”, whereas now it’s followed by long
periods of friendship or casual sex before a
more official “first date” is organised.
The problem, I think, is that dating apps
have given us too much choice. You have a
date scheduled but umm and ahh about it
because this other guy with a cute smile
holding a Joan Didion book just liked your
profile and maybe he’d be a better match?
These options don’t liberate us, they back us
into a corner. It reminds me of the stress I
get into when different friends invite me out.
Initially, I luxuriate in the options: do I want
to sink back in a cinema chair or throw
tequila shots down my throat? But the more
I think about it, the more monstrous the
decision becomes in my head. Rather than
opting for one, I float between, looking up
my route to the different venues, loading up
the ticket websites. I remain paralysed in this
no man’s land, scrolling on my phone and
ignoring missed calls until the night is over.
My friend Danny thinks I’m being too
negative. According to him, our pickiness
isn’t about app-induced amnesia – it shows
we’re not willing to settle for less than we
deserve. “I asked my mum the secret to a
long marriage the other day,” he began. “She
said it was endurance. I think people our
age have learnt to ask for more than that.”
Maybe he’s right. Perhaps our long
vetting process is more than looking for an
excuse to bail. Perhaps it’s about finding
someone so perfect that meeting them doesn’t
feel like finding something new, but coming
home. And given how difficult the world is,
isn’t that fair? Everything’s too expensive, our
living situations are insecure, the planet is
dying. We want to find the right person to
weather the storm with us and, unlike other
aspects of our lives, love is where we can
afford to be picky.
The problem with wanting more is you
often end up with less. What if that guy at
the club had stuck around? Maybe he’d have
noticed the cute wrinkle I get in between
my eyebrows when I laugh or been impressed
by how much I read. What if I’d asked the
guy from the gig out for a drink? Maybe I
would have appreciated how good his
scrambled eggs are or how loyal he is to his
friends. Yes, he, or I, could still turn out to
be a mistake but maybe, at least, we’d give
ourselves the chance to feel something.

iversity, tolerance and inclusion. Three words
we hear perhaps more than we see, especially
lately. Vogue and BMW’s own Forces for
Change initiative was born in 2020 to
redress this balance, before a tumultuous
two years presented these values as even
more essential. So what of action?
For BMW, incorporating these core
values into its mission as a company has long
been a concern in keeping with its inherent
view toward the future and the global nature
of its business. In celebrating these values, in
2011 it joined forces with the United Nations
Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) to create
The Intercultural Innovation Award. Ten
years on, the award continues to salute those
collaborating to combat division, with the
2021 recipients providing much cause for
optimism. To date, the award has offered
financial support and mentorship to 71
organisations across 116 countries, benefitting
more than five million people. The 10
recipients – selected from more than 1,100
applications – share a financial grant of
$200,000 and are each given a programme
of mentorship support from the UNAOC,
BMW Group and partner Accenture.
The 2021 Intercultural Innovation
Award, held in November at the World Expo
in Dubai, was given to an aptly and brilliantly
diverse group. From Arrival Advisor in
Canada, a service using technology to help
inform and advise newly arrived immigrants,
to Mexico’s Knitting a Better Future, who
created a much-needed route back into
employment for women leaving the prison
system, the award also has a particularly
strong representation of youth-focused work.
At Creative Youth Boot Camp in Nigeria,
young people from more than 200 ethnic
groups come together to explore social issues
through the performing arts.
Initiatives of Change, an organisation
developed in Oxford, with roots in Richmond,
Virginia, created this year’s award-winning
International Trustbuilding Program in 2019.
“Initiatives of Change was really a response
WIN-WIN
Marking its 10TH YEAR, The Intercultural
Innovation Award – a JOINT venture between
BMW and the UNITED NATIONS – has
BECOME a vital CELEBRATION of
difference and EXCHANGE
to increasing fragmentation, polarisation and
division emerging around the world and we
have been involved in trust-building and
reconciliation work for more than 100 years
now,” explains program manager Talia Smith.
“The language we use today is different, of
course, but our approach and essence really
is the same.” It centres on skills and modes
of dialogue for communities to enhance
communication and understanding, both
within themselves and with neighbours.
“Local teams decide on the division of
trust they want to work on and then we work
with them on that, so it’s very locally owned,
developed and managed,” explains Smith of
how the work is facilitated internationally,
on projects ranging from dialogue between
the public and the police in Nigeria to
conversations connecting First World and
non-indigenous groups in Australia. “Having
validation and recognition from the UN and
BMW is massive for us,” she concludes. “It’s
really going to give us a platform to raise
awareness of what we’re doing here.”
The UK has often been recognised by
The Intercultural Innovation Award, with
2016 recipient On Our Radar proving initial
recognition continues with positive
repercussions into an organisation’s future.
“We had the chance to connect with other
fantastic community-centric projects from
around the world,” explains Libby Drew,
founding director of On Our Radar, “sharing
ideas that have helped us to think more
deeply and creatively about the way we work
and the tools we use. We remain in contact
with many of the awardees and some of us
have even gone on to work together.”
That On Our Radar should find itself
part of such a rewarding network is less of
a surprise when we consider the nature of
their business: a brilliantly innovative
approach to community reporting using
people’s own mobile phones to share stories
across various communities. Founded in the
wake of the Arab Spring, On Our Radar
was first put to the test by its initial work
in Sierra Leone, where the 2012 Ebola
outbreak saw participants become part of
the story they were first reporting on.
That vital amplification of on-the-
ground information to a wider audience has
proved a winning formula, which the 2016
win helped grow in scope and ambition. “This
month, for example,” Drew elaborates, “we
are working with a national group of refugees

The bringing together of communities
not only chimes with BMW ’s own
aspirations as a company, but its reality too.
“We are a company operating in about 140
countries, in more than 31 production sites
worldwide, and about 110 nationalities work
at BMW,” explains Ilka Horstmeier,
member of the board of management at
BMW AG, “so intercultural understanding,
mutual respect and striving for a common
goal is very important for us.” As the award
looks to the next decade, there is an
opportunity to consider how we can be
better connected into the future, a thought
shared by Horstmeier: “This is the starting

ith necks that can take them up to 8ft tall, an ostrich
can see a threat coming from miles away. In the garden
of the Executive Mansion in Monrovia, Liberia, Comfort
Ero’s eyes flicker away from the giant birds prancing
around and turn to the man sitting in front of her on a
throne, surrounded by staff.
He is the president of Liberia, Charles Taylor. It’s
2003 and he’s wanted for war crimes and crimes against
humanity, for atrocities committed during the horrors
of the 1991-2002 Sierra Leone civil war, in which he
stands accused of propping up a brutal siege of terror,
supporting rebel groups who killed, raped and maimed,
while forcibly recruiting thousands of child soldiers. He
is unflinching. Referring to himself in the third person,
he addresses her. “You believe the President should go
to the court and face these charges?” Ero looks him in
the eyes. She tells him yes.
As improbable as it may sound, this is all in a day’s
work for the newly appointed CEO and president of the
International Crisis Group, the Brussels-based non-profit
committed to “preventing and resolving deadly conflict”.
Ero, an analyst and advocate for peace in her fifties, has
spent her decades-long career embedded in conflict zones
talking to governments, NGOs, warlords, civilians and
civil society groups, assessing the most fraught and
dangerous of situations so as to recommend ways out of
disaster. It is a job defined by seemingly impossible
choices. Where peace is unrealistic, she suggests ways to
reduce violence and stop it spreading. “The work is very
complicated and nuanced,” she says when we meet >

in a café in London, during a brief return to her home city between
missions. “You’ve got to be able to unravel the dilemmas of each
of the conflict actors and speak to their issues.”
This pursuit of peace has occasionally drawn criticism from
those who prioritise fast justice. Ero told Taylor she believed he
should face the charges levelled against him, but, ever the realist,
agreed with his decision to go into exile in Nigeria, believing that
move would help kick-start the peace process. She was right.
Eventually, in 2012, he was found guilty on 11 counts of war crimes
and crimes against humanity and sentenced to 50 years in prison,
where he remains. “I was very clear in my mind that he would face
his day in court,” she says, with her characteristic gentle firmness,
“even if the path of getting there would twist and turn.”
The work is difficult and dangerous and brings a daunting
degree of responsibility. The organisation she now heads, which
was founded in 1995, monitors more than 70 fragile situations,
while pressing for urgent action. She must find paths to peace at
a time of immense global upheaval. Since taking over in December
2021, she has already attended the Munich Security Conference
and testified before the US Senate on the escalating violence in
Sudan, as well as the EU Political and Security Committee on
countries facing deadly conflict in 2022.
Meanwhile, she’s worried about the brutal fighting in Ethiopia,
the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan and the US-China
rivalry. And she’ll be readying the organisation to deal with
emerging threats such as cyber and climate change. As if that
wasn’t enough, she’s on a mission to make peacebuilding more
inclusive and representative of the people it’s meant to serve.
“There’s a sense that there’s a certain type of person who holds
these positions – and that type of person isn’t like me,” she says.
We’re in Islington, half an hour from where she was born; her parents
had intended to return to Nigeria to raise their family, before the

HOUSE RULES
From London to New York, Rome to Berlin, a visit to any of the
world’s outposts of Soho House once meant luxurious body care
and shampoo on tap, but forgetting that trusty cleanser? Serum?
You were well and truly stuck – that is, until now.
Soho Skin is the chic new 11-piece skincare line from the
members’ club, which guarantees all guests will be well looked after
in the skincare department, wherever they are in the world. “All of
the products in the range restore skin’s cellular energy and build
goodness from the inside out,” explains Aalish Yorke-Long, managing
director of retail at Soho House, who has the data to back it up. Far
from a vanity project – as naysayers might assume – the brand
enlisted the help of Soho House’s discerning guests and members
to understand first what they wanted from their skincare and then
their thoughts on formulations, which were fine-tuned accordingly.
“The skincare market can be overwhelming and there is a real
fatigue among our membership of using overdosed actives that BLOOM TIME
can sometimes be too abrasive for the skin,” she adds. “It was

describes as “a multivitamin and energy shot for your skin”. With
glycogen, pistacia lentiscus gum and the probiotic lactococcus
ferment lysate, each formula works synergistically to strengthen
the microbiome, plump, firm and hydrate.
Available to members and those who just want efficient, science-
backed formulas in their lives, stand-outs from the range also
include the peptide-packed Renewal Serum, £76, and 24/7
Treatment, £72, which employs lactic acid and hyaluronic acid to
gently exfoliate and hydrate respectively. “It’s not always possible
to get eight hours of sleep every night, but Soho Skin is like a
green juice for the skin,” says Sproson. “It’s doing something on
the inside that we know will show on the outside.”

n the kitchen of her Tribeca apartment in downtown New York, one blustery
afternoon in spring, Gisele Bündchen is in full domestic goddess mode: mandolin
slicer in one hand, freshly peeled carrot in the other; her undone beachy waves
falling over a grey cashmere sweater. With its pristine marble countertops,
minimalist oak-panelled floor-to-ceiling cabinets and sweeping views of the
Financial District, she might only spend a few nights each year at her Manhattan
home, but it is immediately clear I have floated into supermodel land.
“What kind of tea can I get you?” she says, flinging open her pantry.
Boxes are fastidiously organised by herb type: fennel, chamomile,
peppermint. Although she hasn’t touched coffee in years, her energy levels
would suggest otherwise. Bündchen is full of beans, speaking non-stop
in delighted exclamation points and positive affirmations, bouncing around
the room like she’s just slammed a double espresso.
Her charming Brazilian-Portuguese accent is at full lilt: “I always say nature’s
our pharmacy. If the kids are sick, I’ll make a fresh ginger tea with lemon and
a whole pot of manuka honey. It’s really the best thing you can drink!” Because
I confess to feeling hormonal, she suggests I try a raspberry-leaf brew. “It’s
really good for PMS,” she insists, then has another thought: “You know what
you need? Dates! They’re full of iron. A friend of mine brought them back from
Qatar for me – so much better than chocolate!”
The nutrition talk figures. Gisele – now 41, certified fashion legend, an era-
shifting super who halted “heroin chic” in its tracks in the late ’90s and then went
on to become the highest-paid model in the world for 15 years in a row – is now
set on a new foray: cookbook author. She’s been working on a collection of
personal home recipes, which promises to provide an intriguing window into
precisely what fuels her famously fit family.
Accordingly, she has invited me over for lunch to sample one of her favourites:
vegetable spring rolls in a gingery cashew-nut sauce. Before we get started on the
main course, I ask her if I can take a peek inside the fridge (who doesn’t want to
know what a supermodel eats when no one is looking?). Its contents are predictably
virtuous: no bottles of bubbly, no leftover pizza. Tubs of hummus and cartons of
coconut milk chill side by side on the top shelf; various packets of organic seeds
(flax, hemp, chia) are lined up in neat rows, alongside a loaf of ancient grain gluten-
free bread. The one item that isn’t entirely in keeping with the theme? A vat of
muscle-building protein powder. “Oh, that’s Tom’s,” says Bündchen, > 124

THE REINS when it

referring, of course, to her husband, Tom Brady, 44, the legendary American
footballer, as she waves the fridge door shut.
The kitchen scene is no midlife pivot. Long before the idea of self-care or
wellness became common currency, Bündchen understood the power of a mind-
body connection. She has always tended to her inner life. It was a lesson hard
won in the early days of her career, when it seemed as if she had the whole fashion
industry at her feet. Inwardly, her world was in chaos.
It was the start of the millennium, post the move from her family’s home in
Horizontina, in southern Brazil, and her runway debut in London for Alexander
McQueen in 1998 (one that famously came after 42 unfruitful go-sees). From
there she rocketed. By the early Noughties she was a mononym, dominating
catwalks, dating Leonardo DiCaprio, and a fixture on every billboard and invite
list across the world: “From the outside, it looked like I had everything and I was
just 22 years old. On the inside, I felt as if I’d hit rock bottom,” says Bündchen,
who had been suffering from crippling anxiety and panic attacks for more than
a year-and-a-half before she reached this breaking point. “I was starting my day
with a mocha Frappuccino with whipped cream and three cigarettes, then drinking
a bottle of wine every night. Imagine what that was doing to my mind…”
On the recommendation of a friend, she sought the help of a naturopath,
who immediately prescribed an all-encompassing detox: no sugar, no grains,
no dairy, no caffeine, no alcohol, no cigarettes. The only things she could
consume were vegetables, nuts and small amounts of lean meat. Suffice to
say, the withdrawal symptoms were intense. “I think those were the worst
migraines I’ve ever had in my life. The doctor, he was French, would call me
Adrenalina,” says Bündchen, a reference to her nervous system gone haywire.
Sticking to such a strict regime was never going to be easy, but, as Bündchen
tells it, the alternative was pretty bleak. “I remember him saying, ‘Well, do
you want to live?’ It was that simple.” Three months later and her debilitating
symptoms had all but disappeared. To this day she wakes up religiously at
5am to meditate and work out.
Recalibrating her eating habits would bring her closer to the food culture
she had known as a young girl growing up in rural Brazil. Before she was
whisked off to Tokyo to pursue a career in modelling at the tender age of
14, Bündchen enjoyed a relatively simple small-town life. Each morning her
bank clerk mother would make breakfast smoothies with avocados plucked
straight from the tree in their backyard and she and her five sisters would
eat rice and beans “at least five times a week”.
She has her “medicine woman” grandmother to thank for her more witchy Faux-fur coat, MICHAEL
sensibilities. “She would say that we only had to look at the sky to find our own KORS COLLECTION.

a tea for everything”. It’s why the supermodel takes a holistic approach
to wellbeing where conventional medicine often falls short. “The
idea that taking one pill can solve my problems has always felt wrong
to me, because that was never my experience,” she explains. “If you
put a Band-Aid on a cut, it doesn’t mean that it will go away.”
And yet sometimes Band-Aids really are a godsend, especially
when mandolin slicers are involved. “Listen, cooking and talking
at the same time, it’s an occupational hazard,” she jokes, peeling
a Mickey Mouse plaster, swiped from the kids’ bathroom cabinet,
over a nick on her finger. Thankfully, the most hazardous parts of
the food prep are now behind us. Finely chopped carrots, apples,
cucumbers and cabbage are stacked in tidy piles, ready to be
wrapped in brown rice paper. The food processor is locked and
loaded with cashew nuts, ginger, garlic and a dash of yuzu juice.
“So this is our sauce. Smell it,” she says. I take a whiff of the nutty,
spicy paste and quickly understand why these spring rolls have
been such a crowd-pleaser. “You know, the idea for the book came
because my friends and family would ask me, ‘How do you make
that? How do you get your kids to eat this?’ You assume people
know, but a lot of people don’t. I love to share things that make
me happy, things to help mums who want to make healthy meals
and healthy desserts for their children.”
Ever since she gave birth to her first child 12 years ago, Bündchen
has made motherhood a top priority. When the family moved to
Tampa, Florida, she set up a homeschool for her son, Benjamin
Rein, and daughter, Vivian Lake, nine, a two-minute bike ride away
from the family’s current residence. Their curriculum is one she
created herself, with the help of her children’s teacher, and includes
cooking and gardening. Right now, tomatoes, kale and broccoli are
all thriving on their vegetable patch and the herb garden is lush
with fresh basil and rosemary bushes. “We grow everything. I mean,
this is their playground. Look at their faces!” she says, pulling up
pictures on her iPhone. “When my husband decided he was going
to play another year, I didn’t want to put them in a school, because
it takes a lot to adapt to a new town. They left all their friends
in Boston – and just look at what the world was going through.
I needed to create a soft landing.”
The star quarterback’s decision to retire – and then famously
unretire – after two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
made headline news earlier this year. In his announcement on
Twitter in March, Brady credited the support of his family. “They
134
make it all possible,” he wrote, alongside a diptych of him on the
field with his teammates and his wife at the stadium with their
two children and his 14-year-old son, Jack, from a previous
relationship. For her part, Bündchen sees the roles they play in
their partnership as complementary. “I don’t think relationships
just happen; it’s never the fairy tale people want to believe it is.
It takes work to be really in sync with someone, especially after
you have kids,” she says. “His focus is on his career, mine is mostly
on the kids. And I’m very grateful that he lets me take the reins
when it comes to our family. He trusts my decisions.”
She continues, “I remember, in the beginning, he wasn’t into
the idea of home birth. He was like, ‘You’re not going to do that,
because you’re going to die.’” Bündchen persuaded Brady to watch
several videos on home birthing before he relented. “I made it
clear that this is my body and I’m going to decide how I give birth.”
She describes the 18 hours of labour with Benjamin Rein as “the
most beautiful experience of my life”.
Over the years, Bündchen has helped to evolve the way her
husband thinks about food, too. According to her, he was far
from an adventurous eater when they first started dating, more
than 15 years ago. “Tom only ate nuts and grapes when I met
him. It was crazy,” she says. “He’s not a person who dives deep,
who researches. I’m very much like that.” SOCIAL DISTANCING RULES WERE FOLLOWED THROUGHOUT THIS PHOTOSHOOT
Before long, I’ve polished off an entire plate of her spring
rolls, each one slathered in her cashew-nut sauce. They’re certainly
much healthier than the takeaway version I’m used to – and tasty
at that. If Bündchen is anything to go by, then I could be just
one plant-based meal away from reversing the ageing process.
“I think I feel better in my forties than I did in my twenties and
not just physically, because we’re all told that life is over at
40 and I feel like I’m just beginning,” she says.
One last cup of raspberry-leaf tea for the road and it’s time
for me to gather my things: Bündchen is heading to a fitting for
her Vogue shoot with Steven Meisel. She slings on a chic cashmere
Maison Margiela coat and a gently distressed denim Chanel
handbag, and follows me to the door. Before I leave, Gisele pushes
a small bundle into my hand. “Here, take these, for dessert,” she
whispers, smiling. “The dates.”
By the time the elevator arrives, I’ve scoffed the lot. She’s right,
the dates are sugary sweet and delicious. Maybe I don’t need that
half-eaten bar of chocolate after all…

 T
he Valentino Haute Couture creation that actor Nicola Peltz wore
to marry Brooklyn Beckham, David and Victoria’s eldest son, and
new chef, wasn’t just a dress. “It was a story,” the bride says, smiling,
when I speak to the newest Mr and Mrs Peltz Beckham a few days
after their starry nuptials in April.
First, there were the mother-daughter trips she made to the
Valentino atelier in Rome for the fittings over the year-long design
process. Then, the moment she slipped into the gown in the bedroom
of her childhood home, in Palm Beach, Florida, where the bride’s
father, Nelson Peltz, hosted their lavish three-day wedding
celebration at his oceanfront compound that became a paparazzi
feeding frenzy (Brooklyn got ready in his in-laws’ bedroom).
Originally, Nicola planned to double down on Valentino’s iconic
embellishment and embroidery for the dress, but when she tried
on the toile version of creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli’s sketches
she fell for the elegance of its simplicity, featuring an open back,
delicate lace veil and an 11ft train. Without Nicola’s knowledge,
her mother, Claudia, had asked the seamstresses to sew in an evil
eye to protect her on her big day. She also instructed them to use
baby-blue thread to discreetly embroider: “Nicola, my heart. You
are me, I am you. All my love, all my life, my beautiful girl, inside
and out. Love, mom.” “I’m happy she showed that to me after the
ceremony,” Nicola says, “because I just burst into tears.”
“The highlight of the whole wedding for me was seeing her for
the first time in that dress,” Brooklyn says. “It was the first time
ever in my life when I felt like I couldn’t catch my breath.”
The couple spent the night before their wedding apart –
“Brooklyn and I are pretty inseparable, so that was dramatic,” she
says – so the next time they saw each other was at their ceremony.
As they read their vows, she dabbed tears away from Brooklyn’s
eyes with her handmade French lace gloves.
Brooklyn Joseph Beckham, 23, met his future wife in an
appropriately millennial way: in the fields of Coachella, the outdoor
California music festival that clogs Instagram feeds every spring.
“We didn’t get along at first,” Nicola, 27, remembers of their initial
interaction, in April 2017. But, eventually, he wooed her and the
couple became engaged on 23 June 2020.
They originally planned for a wedding in the summer of 2021,
then autumn, and eventually settled on 9 April 2022. “When the
world was in lockdown, we went through different variations of
what a wedding would look like,” she begins. “We weren’t sure
if we should do a small one earlier and then a big party. Eventually,
we decided we wanted the big wedding as soon as it was possible
to do it safely. And we’re so happy we did. It was amazing to be
in the presence of so many people we love again.” Brooklyn adds,
“We didn’t realise how much we missed that.”
Five hundred guests – including two Spice Girls, Mel B and
Mel C – descended on the Peltz compound. Nelson Peltz is an
American businessman and founding partner of Trian Fund
Management, an investment firm based in New York. (One of
138
his major investments is in the fast-food chain Wendy’s – more
on that later.) “I grew up here and I have the best memories,”
Nicola says. “It was incredible to be in a place I love with all
the people I love at the same time.”
Were the couple inspired by the elder Beckhams’ infamous 1999
wedding, a lavish affair at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland that
featured David, Victoria and a four-month-old Brooklyn in matching
gilded wedding outfits? They laugh. “Their wedding was incredible
and those pictures are iconic,” Nicola says, “but the wedding we
were most inspired by was Iman and David Bowie’s.” The rock
legend and supermodel were married in 1992 and Nicola’s hair and
make-up were inspired by another ’90s supermodel, Claudia Schiffer.
Wedding fashion was a big topic of conversation. On Friday
evening, I found Victoria at the bar and asked her about her
wedding looks. “David and I are the first ones out on the runway,”
she said, before laughing and correcting herself with, “I mean the
aisle! Well, we are opening the show.” At the wedding, Victoria
wore a long, slinky gown of her own design, which she described
as an evolution of her signature slip dress. The fabric was inspired
by the reflection of the moonlight on the ocean, included
three French laces and was finished off by a feathered trim
she had found on a ’60s vintage dress and repurposed.
Interestingly, Nicola and Brooklyn’s outfits on the first night
would have made the ’90s version of Posh and Becks proud:
matching custom Dior suits designed by their friend Kim Jones.
“We met backstage at a fashion show with my dad,” Brooklyn
explains when asked how he and Jones first met. Nicola adds:
“I didn’t want to wear dresses the entire weekend, and we do love
to match. He offered to make an outfit and we thought how
incredible it would be to make matching Dior suits.” She added
that she loved starting off the weekend in trousers, just in case
anyone wondered who wore the pants in the relationship.
Dior made Brooklyn’s wedding suit too, which was a formal
white tail tuxedo. “I’ve known Brooklyn for a long time and the
discussion for the wedding suits happened when we were together
in New York,” Jones explains. “They were very clear about the idea.”
Brooklyn accessorised with a pocket watch, a gift from his mother-
in-law, which he wore with a diamond chain, designed by LA-based
jeweller Anita Ko, to hold the jacket closed. He also wore a gold
and diamond pinky ring, a wedding gift from Nicola, which she
inscribed with “All my love, all my life” (her father wrote it in her
mother’s ring when they were married).
It turns out the only man in the wedding party who wasn’t in
Dior was Nicola’s father. “He insisted on taking a tuxedo out of
his closet, which Leslie begged him to refit,” Nicola says, referring
to Leslie Fremar, the revered Hollywood stylist who started working
with Nicola on the Transformers: Age of Extinction press tour in
2014 and became like a big sister to her. (Her other clients include
Charlize Theron and Julianne Moore.) “There was literally dust
on the suit. I thought, ‘Maybe that can be my something old.’”
Dad relented and had the suit tailored. As for Nicola’s mother?
“Custom Versace,” she says. “The whole weekend.”
At the reception, Nicola changed into a Versace gown for
dancing. “We were looking at ’90s references and the dress was a
remake of an original Gianni-designed dress,” she says. She relished
slipping on the Versace corset. “I can’t tell you the way Versace
designs corsets, but they’re incredible. I felt sexy and strong.”
At the ceremony, 17-year-old British singer Sekou was
accompanied by a full string orchestra and performed “Songbird”
for Nicola’s walk down the aisle with her father. At the reception,
a jazz quartet and a 12-piece live band provided the soundtrack
through dinner. Lloyiso, an up-and-coming South African singer,
performed Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” for the
couple’s first dance and Bette Midler’s “Wind Beneath My Wings”
for the father-daughter dance. After his performance, > 143

“Seeing her for the first time

in that DRESS,” says
BROOKLYN, “I felt like I couldn’t
catch my BREATH”
he beelined to meet the tennis great Serena Williams, who was
sitting with her sister, Venus. “I’ve never been to anything like this,”
he said, adding it was his first trip to the United States. Serena
laughed and said, “I haven’t either.”
There were jovial moments too, such as when the rabbi
accidentally referred to Brooklyn by his father’s name – twice. And
when a reality TV star didn’t see the water features that surrounded
the wedding aisle and took an unexpected dip up to his knees. But
what’s a wedding without a couple of trips? “The only thing that
Brooklyn cared about was the food,” Nicola recalls, describing a
menu prepared by Thierry Isambert Culinary & Event Design.
Halibut, filet mignon and a vegan osso buco were served. Nicola’s
favourite fruit are dates, so the head table featured centrepieces full
of them. “Brooklyn has a thing about square plates and big forks,”
she says, laughing. “That was the only thing he outlawed.”
But for many guests (myself included), the culinary experience
peaked at the after-party, when a Wendy’s food truck pulled up to
serve cheeseburgers, fries and chicken nuggets. “We didn’t eat at
all until we got to the Wendy’s truck, and then I had three burgers,”
Nicola says. “It was my idea,” adds Brooklyn. “A perfect final touch.”
At 11pm, the circular stage revolved 180 degrees and Marc
Anthony magically appeared for a live set that opened with “I Need
To Know”. Brooklyn invited his mother on stage for a dance and
they were joined by David and their 10-year-old daughter, Harper.
Anthony’s last song was a Latin version of the Eagles’s “Hotel
California”, after which two doors opened on what was the fourth
tent of the night, and inside was a pop-up nightclub overlooking
a moonlit Atlantic Ocean. Victoria’s friend DJ Fat Tony was on the
decks. The couple say they wrapped up their evening around 5am.
“I have to hand it to my mum, who really put this whole thing
together,” Nicola says. She had been filming a TV series, Hulu’s
Immigrant, in LA for the months leading up to the wedding, so
Claudia was in charge until the couple arrived 10 days before to
tie up the loose ends. “Luckily, we have similar taste.”
And what about the speeches? Brooklyn’s brothers, Romeo and
Cruz, served as the best men, and both claimed to be the better
sibling and roasted their eldest brother about his lovey-dovey
Instagram posts with Nicola. Nicola’s brother, Brad Peltz (one of
her seven siblings), was the man of honour and in his speech gave
two pieces of advice: “Rule number one: Happy wife, happy life.
Rule number two: Don’t f**k up rule number one.”
In the father of the bride’s remarks at the wedding reception,
he expressed gratitude for being able to celebrate such a joyous
occasion when there is so much suffering happening in the rest of
the world. He proudly described how Nicola and Brooklyn are
passionate about non-profit work and, in lieu of wedding presents,
had partnered with the humanitarian organisation Care to set up
a donation page to the foundation’s Ukraine fund.
David’s speech was, by his own admission, much longer than
the others and full of sentimental observations and witty one-
liners. He admitted that he had some very suspicious haircuts
throughout his son’s first 24 years – “but never my wife”. He also
asked for forgiveness for dressing Brooklyn in a miniature
cowboy hat at their 1999 wedding (google it). “I’m sure we still
have that hat somewhere,” Brooklyn joked. But it was David’s
advice on how to be a husband that Brooklyn remembers most
from that speech. “He said, ‘The most important thing is to make
each other happy. And treat your Mrs like gold.’”

“Big dresses need big

winner, Richard Quinn, of his

London: part private-client salon,
housing his couture-inflected,
voluminous and floral-festooned
creations; part print-making studio,
where he prints for brands including
Burberry, JW Anderson and Ports
1961. Quinn brings a considered
contemporaneity to eveningwear,
and his strength lies in nurturing a
seven-year-old label with expansive
appeal. “An older, more elegant
lady might wear an opera coat, but
a younger girl in Atlanta would
wear a skintight ruched minidress,”
Quinn says. In 2018, he was
presented with the first Queen
Elizabeth II Award for British Design
by Her Majesty herself. Talent that
begets a spacious studio and also
has royal approval from the palace.

 ELV DENIM
Anna Foster started her zero-
waste denim label in 2018,
upcycling jeans from her kitchen
table. Now, some 5,000 pairs
of salvaged styles sit on shelves
in her Dalston studio, ready to
be spliced and patchworked into
luxuriously crafted wardrobe
staples, such as denim jackets,
jumpsuits and miniskirts. Intent
on reducing the ecological
footprint of one of fashion’s most
polluting materials (it takes on
average up to 10,000 litres of
water to produce a single pair
of jeans, and cotton for denim
production is often grown using
toxic pesticides and fertilisers),
Foster’s vision extends far
beyond east London. She’s
collaborating with scientists
and textile associations on
tools to reduce garment waste.
“We need to create a cohesive
infrastructure for sorting thrown-
away materials,” Foster says.
ELV Denim’s not stopping at its
signature fabric. The brand is
also launching a line of sleek,
upcycled cotton shirts. “I see
waste as a valuable resource.”

the voices of diverse creative
communities from jazz troupes to

vibrate with the sounds of Black
punk rock, dub and reggae,
and Daley’s runways have been
shown in churches and working
men’s clubs. “I always consider
the community the space is

Championing craft alongside
sustainable and small-scale

silk-jacquard weavers in Sudbury

experts in Japan. His signature
bucket hats and beanies are
crafted by his mum’s circle of
crocheters and knitters.

 NEOUS
A sure-fire way to bolster your brand
DNA? Create according to intuition. “I
don’t design to a brief. Neous is really
an extension of myself,” says Sydney-
born former fashion editor Vanissa
Antonious, of her five-year-old accessories
label. There’s an intrinsic organicism to
her designs – pared-back, purist and
sculptural, inspired by Bauhaus and
Barbara Hepworth – which are beloved by
a coterie of “informed but non-conformist”
customers, from Singapore to Stockholm.
Neous’s designs move ergonomically
with the body, so it’s natural the label has
expanded from shoes and handbags into
jewellery. Sentimental heirlooms inspired
the debut. “Separated from my family
during the pandemic, the only connection
I had to Australia was my mum’s
jewellery, which I put on every morning.”

“There’s a real space for

Richard Malone, of the eclectic
realm his brand embodies.
Draping, ruching and twisting
are signifiers of a label that
shirks the commercial churn of
product in favour of textural,
emotive, pattern-cutting and
sustainability-focused “responses
to a wardrobe”. For Wexford-
born Malone, success comes
from fostering a diverse creative
community and localised supply
chains. Turning exhibition

TOVE
“We’re on the same page. There’s an unspoken
understanding,” say Tove co-founders Holly Wright
and Camille Perry of the creative symbiosis that their
2019-founded brand is built upon. The long-term
collaborators – who met when heading up the design
and buying departments at Topshop – are united
on creating timeless yet impactful wardrobe staples,
which “offer quality at an attainable price” and have
a sustainable focus. “We want you to be able to pull
a Tove piece out again and again,” Wright says. The
Ceres dress, crafted in organic cotton, with flowing
pleats and delicate bow details, already feels like a
wardrobe classic. The impact of launching a label not
long before the onset of the pandemic? “It allowed us
to look inward and cultivate the brand,” Perry reflects.
Tove’s future is more expansive: a physical runway
show is on the horizon.

“Seeing them out in the wild is
incredibly exciting,” says Chopova.
The duo create eclectic, intriguingly
ornamented clothing, which pays
close attention to sustainable
manufacturing and artisanal
design. Folkloric forms are fused
with sports silhouettes, referencing
ice hockey, rock climbing and
roller skating. Crafty flourishes
include ruching, lacing and
beaded crochet. “The concept of
handmade is becoming much more
desirable and cool,” Lowena says.

T
here are many reasons to love
the Balearic Islands. There’s
the climate, the sunshine and
the fact that the sea is never far
away, azure blue and inviting, beyond
beaches of powdery sand. This Spanish
archipelago has long welcomed tourists,
but if you venture beyond the popular
resorts, there is an extraordinary diver-
sity of landscapes and experiences to
explore, be it Mallorca’s rugged moun-
tains or Ibiza’s famous nightlife.
There are some truly breathtak-
ing properties hidden away among the
hills, such as the magnificent historic
finca pictured above. Located in a tran-
quil spot on the west coast of Mallorca,
overlooking the sea, it sits on over five
and a half acres of its own land, which
includes a large pool and a tennis court
with Centre Court dimensions. With
its rustic stone façade and wooden
shutters, the property exudes tradi-
tional charm, while inside, everything
feels contemporary and bright, with lots
of white walls and pale stone flooring.
In addition to the main house, there’s
also a guest house with two bedrooms
that’s decorated to the same high
standard. The multiple terraces and
extensive landscaped gardens create
plenty of opportunities to admire the
spectacular views.
This property’s appeal is part of a
wider trend that sees more purchas-

ACHIEVEMENTS
With an £11 billion portfolio across London’s most desirable
postcodes, Rhodium celebrates 10 years as a market leader with
the announcement of its first international project in Athens

I
t is just over 10 years since Dean Main
founded Rhodium, the property advisory
and management company that specialises
in a super-stellar level of bespoke luxury
services to super-prime homes and
prestigious new-build developments in Mayfair,
Belgravia, Westminster, Knightsbridge,
Kensington, Chelsea and Marylebone.
With an £11 billion portfolio across 40 super
prime developments, Rhodium has established
itself as a market leader in a particularly gilded
arena. In terms of properties, we’re talking
Northacre’s No. 1 Palace Street development
opposite Buckingham Palace, Almacantar’s
The Bryanston overlooking Hyde Park, CIT’s
Lancer Square close to Kensington Gardens
and Caudwell’s visionary new Audley Square
residence in Mayfair, at the intersection of the
grand, old Grosvenor, Berkeley and Curzon
Estates, to cite a few. In terms of comprehensive
management services, we’re whispering
superyacht sensibilities.
The name, Rhodium, is inspired by the
rarest of precious metals, also known as one of
the most invisible resources on the planet.
Lustrous yet resistant, it’s a fitting name for a
business built on applying its core values of
high value, discretion, continuity and security
to an understanding of the subtle nuances
required to fulfil the expectations of an ultra
high net worth client base. The portfolio of
London’s most prestigious clients includes
Finchatton, Northacre, CIT, Brockton
Everlast, Almacantar, Ronson Capital Partners
and Caudwell.
To mark Rhodium’s 10-year anniversary,
Main has a milestone announcement: a first
international project – Rhodium will be
working with Foster + Partners on the first,
green high-rise building in Greece. The
200-metre-tall Riviera Tower, to be
constructed as the centrepiece of the
Ellinikon, one of the largest regeneration
projects in Europe envisaged to transform
Athens’s former international airport, will
contain dual-aspect luxury apartments over
50 floors, enjoying unobstructed views of the
coastline for natural light and ventilation.
‘Rhodium has always been associated with
London super prime and we actually turn
away more business than we take on because
of our adherence to very high standards,’ says
Main. ‘There’s only a finite number of
developments that we could manage. In the

past, when we’ve been offered the chance to
go abroad, I’ve declined, but this year, we are
celebrating our first international project – in
Athens, working with Foster + Partners on
granting consent of the tallest skyscraper
in Athens.
‘It is really exciting,’ he continues. As we hit
our 10-year anniversary we are extremely
proud of the companies’ achievements. We
have had to navigate through some significant
challenges and our market-leading status is
testament to our staff and leadership team.
The appointment of this international project
in Athens with Foster + Partners is a direct
influence of the recognition of our ability
in London.’
Back in the capital, other exciting new
launches include The Bryanston, Hyde Park
– a collection of luxury residences located at
the meeting point of Mayfair and Marylebone
and designed by renowned architect Rafael
Viñoly. As the tallest residential building to
overlook the 350-acre Royal Park, The
Bryanston offers residents unparalleled and
uninterrupted views across the open green
space through its curved, oversized windows.
The interiors have taken inspiration from
Mayfair townhouses, with tall ceilings and
doors and generous proportions. Residents
have access to two floors of amenities,
including a sleek 25-metre indoor pool, a
health spa, gym and access to international
personal trainers from MER World.
Main’s team is also involved in ‘an
incredible mixed-use scheme, part of which is
36 units just for rental. We’re starting to see a
new trend of developers building specifically
to rent,’ he says. ‘Despite Covid, Brexit, the
geopolitical situation, stamp duty – people
always want a foothold in London and
want something completely furnished in a
top building.’
London is fast becoming home for the
Hollywood set. ‘With the emergence of
Netflix and Amazon Prime, a lot of films are
now being created in London and we’ve seen
a huge influx of A-list celebrities, directors
and screenwriters coming to work in the
capital. With that, we’re seeing a massive
number of enquiries for brand new properties
befitting the film world.’ Rhodium looks set to
continue its starring role.

D

Island of the Caribbean’ and,
frankly, that’s an understatement.
With 365 rivers (one for every day
of the year), subterranean
volcanoes, waterfalls, hot springs, a boiling
lake and secluded white- and black-sand
beaches, this is a place of marvel, wellness
and adventure. Nestled on its northwest coast
is the 50-acre expanse of Secret Bay, which
itself boasts an unusual mix of rainforest and
three beaches of different shades of sand
topped by dramatic cliffs, as well as two
micro-climates, its own river and a magical
sea cave. Imagine an illustrated map of

luxury offered by this limited collection of
private villas.
Each home is oriented for privacy and to

Secret Bay is a passion project. It took
proprietor Gregor Nassief 17 years to acquire
the first five acres. As a boy, Nassief loved this
rocky nub of unspoilt coastline and used to
free-climb the cliffs. After meeting his wife
Sandra while working in South America, he
introduced her to his special place. They
A D V E R T I S E M E N T F E AT U R E
showed the land to Sandra’s father, a
distinguished architect in Venezuela and his
wedding gift was a drawing of their family
home to be built there. ‘I had to persuade
Sandra to leave her city of nine million
people to come and live in our jungle!’ says
Nassief.
An environmental impact study revealed
traditional construction would be impossible
without disturbing the forestation, so every
villa is built by hand. ‘It truly is a labour of
love,’ says Nassief. ‘But we knew we wanted to
create a special place where people could
connect to nature, to themselves and to the
ones they love.’ Purchase of Secret Bay real
estate is an investment as well as a lifestyle
choice. When you own a villa, you can stay for
a limited time per year with a hassle-free
shared rental stream. Full ownership prices
range from US$1.490m to US$5.5m.
Fractional ownership starts at $208,000 per
share. All investments come with the optional
amenity of second citizenship.

Outlining
current trends
Edward Rook, Head of Knight Frank’s
Country Department
We’ve seen unprecedented demand for country homes over the
past two years and the story at present is one of low stock. Two
years ago, buyers headed well away from London, to rural and
waterfront homes in the South West for example. Now, as we
return to a hybrid work pattern of two or three days a week in
the office, we are seeing renewed interest in the Home Counties.
Overall, there has been an attitudinal change to how we use our
homes. People are more thoughtful about how they want to live
and are investing significantly in their properties to secure their
ideal lifestyle. For prime properties, that means amenities that
were once optional extras – a pool, gym, outbuildings turned
into home offices or guest accommodation – are now deemed
priorities and buyers will pay a premium to have these already
in place.
Stuart Bailey, Head of Prime Sales, London
After five years of a buyer’s market, there are noticeable changes
across prime London, shown by upward price growth this year.
As interest rates and prices start to increase, this is a sensible
time to buy, something many are quickly realising. Sellers
meanwhile, although aware of this change, are unsure whether
to take advantage now or wait for further price increases.
Crucially, we are achieving exceptional prices for the best quality
properties. The pent-up demand from UK buyers has been
largely unleashed but the pent-up demand from international
buyers has not yet happened which is why prime areas with
predominantly apartments, Mayfair and Knightsbridge, are
quieter than areas with townhouses in leafy grounds. This is a
good time to consider the most central areas of Belgravia and
Knightsbridge, areas normally underpinned by international
demand, and buy what others are not currently buying, one
or two bedroom apartments for £850,000 to £2 million.
David Mumby, Head of Prime Lettings
I’ve never worked in a market quite like the current one. The
levels of available property are extraordinarily low and are being
chased by an unusually high number of people, leading to rapid
price corrections. Whereas normally a client could view ten to
twenty rental properties, today it might only be two or three with
the strong likelihood of competitive bidding.
To secure a property, clients must be able to move swiftly, be
the first through the door to view and be ready to transact.
Be flexible on location – focus instead on the property – and
consider incentivising your offer, perhaps by taking a longer
lease or paying sums in advance.
