At PACO RABANNE, Julien Dossena takes apart our modern de nition of glamour. Independent minded DRIES VAN NOTEN lets women de ne it for themselves. Around the globe, CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN’s shoes are a byword for the high life; erstwhile muse to Helmut Newton VIOLETA SANCHEZ has lived it. NIGERIA’S FILM INDUSTRY is more than a neat portmanteau. The fantasy worlds devised by artist RACHEL MACLEAN critique reality. What’s so glamorous about glamour, anyway? A question only RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE can truly answer.

Moving in slow motion

Houseboat on the Nile. Dita Von Teese on the phone. A million pairs of shoes sold a year. If anyone knows glamour, it’s Christian Louboutin.

Revamp

Before Phoebe Philo arrived at Céline, glamour was a thing far removed from the everyday lives of most women. Then she decided to give the mundane an upgrade and nothing was the same.

The invisible man

The life of a fashion designer. It’s all parties, stress and breakdowns, isn’t it? Not if you ask Dries Van Noten.
