As the unlikely starof cult dystopian drama The Handmaid’s Tale, I could think of no better ELLE woman to front an issue that seriously questions what lies ahead. While the environment, conservation and climate change are always top of our agenda, our annual sustainability issue takes a deep dive into the issues facing us, not tomorrow, but today. Because when it comes to the fate of our planet, the future is now. As we were wrapping up this issue, the media was covering a new report by Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration, a climate think-tank based in Melbourne, which predicts the end of human civilisation as we know it as early…4 min

FIRST LOOKTHE NEXT FRONTIER“DESIGNERS are rethinking the FUTURE of FASHION by USING technology” IN A WORLD of Instagram over-saturation, it takes some kind of special sauce for a designer to break through the noise. Special, like, Daniel Lee special – whose debut show as creative director at Bottega Veneta was arguably the most anticipated of the entire AW19 season. A Phoebe Philo-era Céline alum, Lee was tasked with awaking a “sleeping giant” (his words), bringing the Italian leather-goods house right into 2019. And modernise he did – not just with his sure-to-sell-out quilted cloud pumps and deconstructed cut-outs, but with the innovative way he created the garments, from laser-cut skirts to neoprene coats.
