We couldn’t think of a more fitting group

of women to rein in the season and lure us from our sun-soaked spell.From our cover model, Joan Smalls,

pgs. 1-15, to our One-to-Watch, French

actress and former model, Rebecca

Dayan, pg. 19, they’ve transported us

to the land of cashmere milk and honey.

Cozy sweaters, fall-ready tall boots, and

the perfect jacket have reinvigorated our love for this time of year.

Explore our Moroccan trend, pg. 17, and

conjure a Modern Marrakesh with jewel

tones and intricate embellishments. Read one northern California

native’s account of her annual

outerwear shopping tradition, Fall & The

Perfect Jacket, pg. 34, find yours, and see how uncannily you relate to

extreme beauty with Sasha Luss modeling Autumn Daze.

We welcome you to our August Catalog, a

mixture of exquisite and inspiring imag-ery, styling ideas, inside

information, and above all, the fall fash-

ion we’re most excited to wear, featuring the creative spirits and great beauties we idolize.

Admiring summer in her final hours,

we miss her already.

“John Holt, Daft punk, Blood orange, Johnny osbourne—i have too many songs in my head,” says DJ

alexandra Richards, as she lists off names of musicians she’s digging these days. She hesitates for a moment, and then

adds, “this one is kind of funny, but i have also been listening to a lot of Kelis and that song she did with andre 3000.”

She pauses to laugh for a moment. that song happens to be called ‘Millionaire.’

Though she might be part of a millionaire family (her dad is Keith Richards), she doesn’t act like it. She is polite, refreshingly laid back and about as normal as one can be if they grew up on tour with The Rolling Stones. Here, we

chat with her about her Moroccan-inspired FP shoot, teaching Dad about the music business today, and more.

MODERN marrakech

In Morocco, there is magic to be found around every corner. From the rugs in Fez to the handmade caftans in Tangier to the cerulean blue tiles in Chefchaouen, the country is bursting

with beauty. Everywhere you look, artisans are busy weaving, looming, painting…creating.

This season, slip into Moroccan inspired prints that will take you on a journey to the far off land. Dream of camel riding through the desert and teatime near the ocean. Think of an afternoon winding through the medina, searching for vintage treasures. Stop to have chicken tagine and enjoy the delectable smell of fresh bread baking in the communal ovens.

Make the fantasy a reality. The handcrafted details of these pieces strike a balance with the modern silhouettes of today. So, if you find yourself doing more subway riding than souk roaming, you’ll still look as cool as The Stones rocking the Casbah.

what instruments do you pl ay? I played the violin growing up, but not anymore. I gravitate towards string instruments. I picked up ukulele when I was 20, then graduated to guitar because I thought that would be helpful, but I was totally wrong. My dad teaches me a lot of the blues chords.

your dad has been a big help with your musical education, but i bet you have also taught him a few things about the music business and djing these days Yes. He is so shocked by the whole business. I don’t want to say he doesn’t like what I do, but it’s taken the house band out of the picture. I just tell him that as a DJ, it’s a great way to promote music. I’ve just been giving him a taste of my own view of the music world.

what’s next for you? I’ve been DJing here in NYC for eight years, plus I still always have modeling and I’m a contributing editor for Town & Country. I studied jewelry in college and have been designing things here and there, so once I get the ball rolling, I might start something with that.

Interviewed by Kristin Tice Studeman

what free people piece from the shoot did you love most? This super soft, long, leather, purple jacket. It’s perfect to throw over jeans and a T-shirt. It seems like it would be great for those chilly nights in the summer or fall.

your shoot was moroccan-inspired. have you been there a lot?I actually haven’t been to Morocco. That is one place I have been dying to go to. One of my best friends just moved to Marrakech, so when I have some down time, I am going.

you need to go! i imagine your dad has some pret t y great stories from morocco. any good ones that you can recall? There are all these beautiful pictures of my father there in his 20s. He used to go there a lot when he was younger and he would stay for weeks at a time to rehearse and soak up the sun and the sea. My family’s home in Connecticut is very Moroccan-inspired and over the years, I have picked that up, too. My apartment is very new Moroccan.

it must have been pret t y cool to tour with all the rest of the stones kids. what are your favorite memories from traveling the world together? It was definitely not your typical way to be raised, living on tour and studying with six of your best friends and a tutor. We grew up a lot faster than most kids and caused a lot of trouble, but we all turned out OK. I remember going to Argen-tina and being like 9 years old and the crowd knew every lyric to every song (even though it was a different language for them). It was such an impressive thing.

you are really into natural beaut y products.what are some of your favorites? Anything with rose water, and I also love lots of oils (for my face and hair). Mainly, I just try to drink a lot of water.

your first feature-length movie, h, is set to debut at the venice film festival. what was the filming experience like? It’s my first real leading role—very exciting. We were filming in upstate New York and I had to run around in the snow with a pregnant belly for most of it (I don’t know why they always make me pregnant in movies). In that sense, it was physically quite demanding, but I like challenges.

aside from the debut of h, what do you have coming up? I just finished a series with watercolors that will be published in L’Officiel Hommes. I am also working on a small exhibition to show in the south of France during the Photography Festival. I mainly do portraits and shots of hands and faces.

FP Me Stylists show off their favorite pieces from the new line of FP Collection

shoes and accessories for fall. Visit freepeople.com/fpme for more style inspiration.

one to watch

Aformer model and fashion design assistant, actress Rebecca Dayan has the kind of perfectly unfussy look we all dream of achieving. We caught up with

the rising star in between her travels to the south of France (where she originally hails from) to hear more about that ever-elusive French style, her debut in a lead role and more.

everyone wants to know the art of mastering the french girl cool. what is your secret?[Laughs]. I don’t know, I’m sorry! Sometimes, I am just in jeans and T-shirts, and then other times, I go full-on ‘60s or ‘70s style. It really depends on my mood. you are just naturally chic...Maybe it’s just watching my grandmother and my mom when I was a kid. It’s like cooking. People asked me how I learned to cook and I didn’t. I just watched when other people were doing it. They are very similar. It’s just about putting things together well.

come fall, what are you most excited to wear?Cashmere sweaters.

“The first album was about loss and heartache,” says Natalie Bergman, who makes up one half of the musical act, Wild Belle, along with her older brother Elliot. “The new one [album] is really about finding love and talking about how I don’t ever want to lose it because it feels so good.”

It’s late May, and Bergman and her brother have been hard at work on their forthcoming sophomore album. If she’s feeling any pressure to follow up on the band’s hugely successful first studio effort in 2013, Isles (a mix of rocksteady, reggae, soul and African sounds), she doesn’t show it. “We’ve come a long way from the first record,” she says. We caught up with the Wild Belle frontwoman to hear more about her musical and style evolution,

relocating to Chicago, and her dream gig. fallACCESSORY

of WILD BELLE

NaTalIe bergmaN

you are a former brooklynite, but have recently returned to your hometown of chicago. do you find it to be a more inspiring pl ace for music? I am in Chicago because I am trying to finish my second record and I thought it would be more of a calm, peaceful place with fewer distractions. My family is here, and it’s a creative place for me to work. Also, I fell in love with a dude in Chicago, so... what can you tell us about the second album? We just got back from Nashville (where we did some work with Patrick Carney of The Black Keys), then we went to Jamaica for a week and did some music there, and then we are off to Toronto in a few days to finish up the record. It’s a little darker than Isles. I think the record has a little more of a spooky vibe than the first one.

what is one of the best (or worst) parts about working with your brother? We see eye-to-eye on lots of things and I feel like we share the same vocabulary. I think it’s because we grew up listening to the same records and saw the same things. It’s really a special thing to get to work with your sibling.

what is one of your most memorable musical experiences from growing up? My mom used to encourage me to do open mics when I was really young. I just remember when I was about 9 years old, I sang this Lucinda Williams song in a talent show and wore a leopard cowboy hat. Everyone in my school was like, ‘This girl is the coolest thing ever.’ That was like my debut into Chicago.

it sounds like you have always had a fl air for fashion. how has your st yle evolved since officially l aunching your musical career? I have always been conscious of style and presentation, it goes hand-in-hand with my music. I just know what I like—vintage guitars, cool blouses that look groovy, pants (because I think they are more powerful than dresses), art that looks like a child made it, stuff from flea markets, etc. I have been recycling clothes from my mom’s closet from the ‘70s for years.

what has been one of the greatest experiences in your wild belle career so far? We played a show last week in Alabama and it was so magical. We got to play this gorgeous festival right on the beach and afterwards, our whole band went swim-ming. We saw like 30 or 40 dolphins right off shore and Elliot and I took kayaks and paddled right out to them. I was like, “I have the best job in the world.”

dream gig? Bonnaroo would be really fun, for sure.

Here’s what she had to say:

report

This season, bohemian takes a turn for the modern. Statement metallic pieces are paired back to natural hair and makeup, with fresh, bare

skin acting as a clean slate for the fall months ahead. Metal headpieces lend a futuristic gypsy vibe, while easy updos allow the ears and neck to shine. Adorn one ear with a statement earring or cuff, or accentuate the collarbone with a bold choker. Less is more.

It was 2008 and I was living with my then-boyfriend in Los Angeles, sharing a ‘20s style duplex with hardwood floors and jalousie windows that leaked cold air during California winters. He was—and is—a photographer.

We met on the set of a shoot I didn’t want to show up for on account of extreme sleep deprivation and general laziness. I

remember the point when he reached over and pushed my chin towards the light in a certain way and I could tell, right then and there, that this was the person for me, at least for a time. No matter the duration, you meet people for reasons, and his

was to push me towards another chapter of my life, which was out of a career modeling and into writing.

At that point, I had been a model for four years, the catalyst of which was a conversation with a music manager on an airplane

between New York and Los Angeles. I was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and doing calculus homework for a class I was

barely passing when I told him I wanted to do A&R. “Don’t get on a sinking ship,” he told me, with wry post-Napster

malaise, and then suggested I talk to his friend, an agent in Los Angeles.

And so, just like that, I started. I traveled, sat in makeup

chairs, walked in runway shows, met weird people, met amaz-ing people. In the beginning, it was great, but soon enough the

novelty begins to wear off, like gold rings rubbing down to brass cores. You find yourself having the same conversations about what agency pays on time, who was dating who, what

juice cleanse was someone was on. The constant sinusoidal flux of acceptance and rejection inherent to booking jobs begins

to wear on you, too. You get a bit older, and more confident in who you are as a person. You want to start being you, not just someone’s vision of you… however beautiful that vision might

be. You want your own voice.

Ergo, writing.

Everything started will a blog—three-hundred-word anecdotal essays about getting sick on airplanes, having my wallet stolen, road trips in old mini vans. I was doing it for

myself, mainly, until people began responding to the work, like someone had opened up my journal and deemed it

passable for publishing. I kept going, even after the boyfriend who told me to write every day and I broke up. Especially after we broke up. I packed up my things and moved to New York. That’s when everything changed, like the world had expanded

and I was placed in its center and handed a pen. I found an apartment in Brooklyn with trees outside all the windows and white paint on the walls. I could ride my bike

down to a pier along the East River and watch ancient Polish fishermen drinking beers out of paper bags while they caught nothing. And I wrote about all of it—wrote about the

boys and the heartbreak and the seasons changing. I wrote and wrote and wrote until finally people starting hiring me to write

for them. I wrote so much I didn’t need to model anymore. I wrote until I became a writer.

“whaT i ESpEciaLLY LOvE TO FiND iS aN uNExpEcTED DETaiL”

make a statement with a bold print or a bright pop of color.

What I especially love to find is an unexpected detail, whether it’s a 70s print lining on the in-side, or studwork on a classic leather jacket. It’s those little details that set you apart from every other black-jacket-clad woman on the subway.

I firmly believe you can tell a lot about someone from their outerwear. So, I leave you with this question: What are you going to tell the world about yourself this season?

Growing up in northern California, there was never much of a need for a heavy-duty winter coat. In the coldest months of the year, temperatures rarely dipped below the 40s, but that never stopped me from wanting the perfect coat.

With great fondness, I remember back-to-school shopping with my mom every summer in late July. Nevermind that it was the height of the summer heat, and nearly 90 degrees outside—the latest fall fashions had just hit the stores and I had to be there the day they put out those jackets. My mom would pick me up from swim practice, I would be wearing shorts, sandals, and a tank top, and toting my notes on the latest trends and jacket styles I thought I might want. Oh, the irony of shopping for fall/winter in your shorts.

That was a ritual that started as early as 8 years old, and it’s one I still carry on as an adult today (unfor-tunately, my mother doesn’t typically join me on these outings, and I’m not coming from swim practice).

Acquiring a new piece of outerwear has come to be a symbol of change. In the early days, it meant new teachers, new friends, and new extracurricular activi-ties were just around the corner. As silly as it might sound, I can recall school years and the memories that surrounded them by coats. There was a cherry red swing coat, a classic, double-breasted navy peacoat, a cropped leather bomber I just had to have, a camel-colored trench, and the list goes on and on. You get the picture, I won’t bore you with the memories associated with them.

Even if the first day of school wasn’t nearly cold enough to warrant a jacket, I would still bring one. It completed the look I had in mind and I wasn’t going without it, no matter how silly it might have looked to my peers. It meant it was time to buckle down for school and summer was over. In retrospect, it was like a placebo of sorts. There was nothing to it but fabric, but it helped change my mental state from fun and summer to hard working, student mode.

These days, I have a newfound appreciation for the perfect winter coat after surviving several of New York City’s harshest, coldest winters in history. More so than ever before, a new jacket is a symbol of the changing seasons. I like to invest in a new coat so it feels like the darkness of the winter prior isn’t carrying over to the next one. It must be both stylish (since your coat is of-ten the only part of your outfit that the world sees every day for months on end), and highly functional. After 2014’s epic Polar Vortex, I have never felt more grateful for jackets made of extra cuddly fabrics like shearling, soft leather, and fur. The first day of New York Fashion Week is my new version of back-to-school. Talk about pressure—with swarms of photographers lining the entrance to the shows, you had better look your best. This season, when it comes to coats and jackets, there are so many trends to love, I’m finding it hard to nar-row down my picks. Already on my wish list are cozy, knit sweater jackets (they were all over the runways at the Fall 2014 shows), biker jackets, anything with an oversized, menswear-inspired shape, and pieces that
