WOMEN'S SPRING ISSUE 2013

The spring women's fashion issue of T marks the unveiling of a redesigned magazine, from its features to its logo. Emphasizing elegance and simplicity, the issue begins with a profile of the 79-year-old style icon Lee Radziwill, photographed in her Paris apartment, and moves onto another Parisian paragon of style, the designer Azzedine Alaïa, whose perfectly simple clothing is among fashion’s most celebrated. Also in the issue is a peek into the working lives of the duo behind the label Proenza Schouler, who are at their most creative at their Berkshires farmhouse; a profile of the PPR head François-Henri Pinault; and an introduction to Jonathan Anderson, a front-runner in a talented pack of new British designers. Additional highlights from the magazine include the best accessories of the season, an unexpectedly sophisticated retreat in Mexico and one of the chicest houses in London.
