So the world has just worked out that something that resonates with 50 per cent of the population can make just as much bank as things made for the other 50 per cent. Shocker. This common sense fact that should have surprised absolutely no-one, because maths, means we’re living through a time pundits have labelled as ‘the Year of Girl (Economic) Power’, or ‘the Year of the Female Dollar’ - like women haven’t for much of modern history influenced most household spending anyway, even if we weren’t in a position to always earn it. The shift that’s making economists feel like it’s suddenly raining bedazzled cash money now, though, is not only that we have record numbers of women in the workforce spending our hard-earned wherever the hell we feel…

LILLE BY THEA ANAMARA PERKINS “I shared this work because it conveys a sense of hope and optimism, and prompts us to think about what kind of future we’re creating for young people. It’s a painting of my sister, and I think that expresses how the stakes are real for us and our own as First Nations people. We are in great need of change and a Yes vote will give us a strong start.” Thea Anamara Perkins is an Arrente and Kalkadoon artist whose practice incorporates portraiture and landscape to question representations of First Nations peoples arid Country. With a delicate hand, Thea answers heavy questions about what it means to be Indigenous in contemporary Australia, and how Aboriginal people can and should be portrayed. HEART MURMURS BY MICHELLE…

Is there some sort of secret soeiety of very smart young women where you all get together and roundtable the ways you’re going to change the world? HANNAH FERGUSON: Yeah, we’ve all met before. CHANEL CONTOS: We actually do have a matriarchy. There’s definitely matriarchy group chats and Zooms that go round. JUSTINE: Who else is in this - I don’t wanna use the word, but - squad?

TOGETHER WITH PANDORA In 1953, Marilyn Monroe swanned down a staircase wrapped in pink taffeta, transformed into Lorelei Lee, with glittering strands of diamonds draped at her throat and wrists. She sang the words that would cement the place of diamonds in cultural lore: “Square-cut or pear-shaped, these rocks don’t lose their shape Diamonds are a girl’s best friend!” What Monroe didn’t have time to cover in that iconic appearance, though, was that best friendships evolve over time, and the diamond jewellery industry has changed considerably over the past few years. These days, lab-grown diamonds have grown to be as desirable as their naturally mined counterparts - an idea that would have been surprising just a few years ago, when lab-grown was often mistaken for products like cubic zirconia, which…

What is French style? It’s a question that’s been posed time and time again: in magazine features, TikTok videos and Instagram feeds, all trying to pinpoint that je ne sais quoi - and break it down into accessible terms so that those of us living outside Gallic borders might benefit. It was also the question that Nicolas Ghesquière asked himself when creating Louis Vuitton’s autumn 2023 collection. The historically minded might attribute French style to Marie Antoinette, whose influence in the late 18th century was widespread across Europe. In modern terms the obsession with French style began with Coco Chanel’s unencumbered take, the loose silhouettes and pearl strands, and the soignée sensibility that emerged alongside Christian Dior’s New Look at the end of the 1940s. Today it’s more centred around…

COURTNEE CREWS Founder of Ruth Polish GETTING READY is fun and sort of therapeutic for me. If I’m feeling anxious, I’ll have a baby glass of wine to wind down.

Also, the Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush. I’m a blush addict, and this formula is perfection - one of these is always in my bag.…

TOGETHER WITH BY TERRY Every once in a while, a product comes along that revolutionises beauty forever. In 1992, Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Éclat did just that - a highlighting and brightening corrector housed within a sleek pen-and-brush dispensary that quickly became a cult classic. Behind the innovation was medical student-turnedmakeup artist Terry de Gunzburg, whom the French couturier himself had appointed to lead YSL Beauty in the early '90s. “It took me three years to launch Touche Éclat and it proved there’s no reward without risk,” says de Gunzburg. “One of the biggest risks I took in my career turned out to be one of the most rewarding and life-altering moments to date.” In 1998, de Gunzburg took another leap and launched her own beauty line: BY TERRY. Renowned…

If TikTok is to be believed, achieving a healthy gut should be as simple as storing food correctly, adding yoghurt to your breakfast bowl and maybe whipping up that viral “internal shower’ drink. In reality, gut health is a complex and highly individualised topic, something social media rarely navigates successfully. According to Aubrey Levitt, a researcher and leading international expert on the microbiome, gut health is much more nuanced than we think: “A healthy gut is comprised of friendly bacteria (probiotics) and is fed fibre (prebiotics) that creates health-promoting byproducts (postbiotics) which impact our gut and immune system. The bacteria in our gut communicate with almost every key system within the body.” A quick refresher: the human body is made up of more than 90 per cent bacteria, and the…

1 The packet is in a foreign language English is so howdoyousay... common? 2 Must have featured in a pivotal piece of pop culture In the case of Bonilla, this was during a scene in the Oscar-winning Korean thriller Parasite (a cameo that resulted in a 150 per cent surge in online sales). 3 Costs more than $25 The above will set you back around $45 for a 500g tin. Chump change, really. 4 Should be feted by influences and those in the know Bonus points if they post on social media with the product inconspicuously placed on a shelf in the corner of the frame. 5 The packaging can be re-used as chic storage Bobby pins, loose change, old lip balms - it doesn’t matter what’s in there, as long as the label is…

InLifestyle You’ll know when you reach Sun Ranch, because a nine-by-fivemetre sign scrawled in Pulp Fiction font looms large overhead. You could be driving into a Quentin Tarantino crime scene, but then again, step into the lobby and the moody colour and curiosities feel more like a Wes Anderson dream sequence. Broad-brimmed hats hang on panelled timber walls, reminiscent of a ranch deep in the Californian desert, yet look outside and pink galahs and wallabies dot the landscape. It would all feel a little bit eerie if it weren’t so, well, fun. “We wanted to be a bit tongue in cheek,” says hotelier Julia Ashwood, who co-founded the property with a collective of friends from the creative and hospitality industries. “Let’s push the unexpected nature of this, you know?” Since…

We don’t like to admit it, but here in Australia, the personal car signals status and success, even to those who are lukewarm on the industry. According to a recent study by CarSales, 43 per cent of Australian Gen Zs don’t care about ownership as much as ear access, yet 41 per cent also said that not owning a car as an adult was a sign of ‘struggle and financial instability’. Shady, no? Cars are part of our cultural fabric: they represent freedom and are integral to the great Australian dream. But in 2023, Australia, the world and the personal ear as we’ve known it are all changing. Aside from the challenges new technologies present, consider also the rising cost of literally everything; how the climate crisis is informing personal…

Aries FIRE STARTER This spring will be all about remembering that you’re your own person, Aries. The North Node has just moved into your sign, giving you a big appetite for adventure and self-exploration. You might be feeling the urge to do your own thing, go your own way and take up space unapologetically. A full moon in Aries on September 29 will only amplify the need for independence. However, you may be challenged to find that independence while also maintaining connection to your nearest and dearest. Union and separation may not be as contradictory as you think. The Libra solar eclipse on October 15 will continue this focus on your partnerships and collaborations, shifting the terrain of these relationships in ways that release old patterns of self-denial. Instead of…

LOCK IT DOWN Tiffany & Co.’s Tiffany Lock collection is slated to become the modern-day equivalent of the nostalgic Heart and Key or Return to Tiffany collection (basically, the new It bangle, and a mainstay on every birthday or graduation wish list). With a campaign fronted by Florence Pugh, Rosé from BlackPink, Jimin of BTS and Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram, each genderless piece - including earrings, rings and pendants - locks into place like a real padlock. A little bit punk, a whole lot chic. Scandi-core We’ll always have Paris, but the coolest week on the fashion calendar now belongs to Copenhagen.

Menu Entrée Nerves, apprehension and curiosity, served raw and deconstructed Main A cassoulet of confrontation and defence; sharp and acidic with a fiery kick Dessert A bittersweet finale of self-reflection and full-bodied emotion “Before we do this, I’ll need you to sign something,” says Kate. We’ve been friends for more than to years, and we have never had a conversation that begins this way. “Like an NDA?” I ask. “More like a contract. That whatever I say cannot be used against me.” I agree. And then Kate tells me, with my permission actually, at my behest - all the things I do that annoy her, make her sad or upset, or generally make her eyes roll. She tells me things she has never shared before. It’s the Dinner of Truth,…

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour will be studied for generations to come. Yes, she’s a pop star who’ filling stadiums with her sparkle-tinged stage spectaculars, but she’ also dominating the news cycle, tightening her rare monocultural hold and elevating economics. Call it the swift Lifit or Swifitnomics - on the 52-date US leg of her tour, she packed out hotels and restaurants, set new public transport records, boosted local businesses and got name-checked by the Federal Reserve. So what will happen when Swifitbrings Eras to Australia in February? Adele Labine-Romain, the tourism sector lead at Deloitte, predicts the tour will spur $346 million in local expenditure (including $126 million on concert tickets). “here seems to be no cost-of-living crisis when it comes to fans’appetite for the tour,”she says. Here, we’e crunched…

Twenty-two million people live in the Mumbai metropolitan area. It’s the most densely populated city in India, known as the City of Dreams and home to British-Indian actor Alia Bhatt, who you probably won’t find walking down the street. Because with more than three times the population of Mumbai following her on Instagram alone (79.4 million), she’s one of the most recognisable faces in Indian film and wouldn’t exactly have a peaceful time. So when Bhatt visits cities like New York - with less than half as many people - the thing she looks forward to most is simply walking through the park with her daughter. “We can’t really do that in India,” Bhatt says, speaking front NYC where she’s holidaying with her husband, fellow actor Ranbir Kapoor, and their…

Halfway through InStyle’s shoot with The lmpired Unemployed, there’s a nervous energy on set. To set. To mark the group’s move from our phone screens to TV screens, they’re embodying fomous television character, and for the next shot they’ll channel bronzed Baywatch hunks. But it’s the middle of winter and they’re lacking fluorescent Californian tans, so our stylists and creative director are tasked with slathering bronzer on their bare torsos. Giggling and side eyes ensue. We could be back at high school for how flustered a group of grown women have become in the presence of these boys. But such is the effect that Jack Steele, Matt Ford and their friends have on people, and it speaks, in part, to why a ragtag bunch of boys from the South Coast…

O f the five senses, smell has the closest thing to the full power of the past. Smell really is transporting. Seeing, hearing touching tasting are just not as powerful as smelling if you want yowr whole being to go back for a second to something... It’s a neat way to reminisce. So said Andy Warhol - and the artist would know. Over his lifetime, he was committed to collecting perfumes, switching up his fragrance every few months and cataloguing the scents by era. In effect, he was creating an olfactory time capsule - one he regularly used to revisit his own past. Scent memory and nostalgia have a storied history. Since Marcel Proust wrote about the sudden rush of feelings he experienced upon biting into a tea-soaked madeleine in…

While the term supermodel is technically reserved for the Big Six of the 1990s, Bella Hadid is this era’s closest thing - a super model, without question. She’s fronted campaigns for everyone from Louis Vuitton to Fendi, was named one of Time’s most influential people of 2023, and was recently announced as a Charlotte Tilbury ambassador. When it comes to beauty and wellness, she’s all about speedy transformations - the power of a swipe of lipstick or stick of incense to change her mood. And, amid her battle with Lyme disease, self-care is also paramount. Being around my horses after a long day brings me the kind of peaee that few things do. Anything in nature makes me return back to myself and balance. I like to put my feet…

InWellness It’s a Sunday morning in my regional hometown back in ... let’s call it 2002, and I’m blearily stomping up and down on a purple plastic platform. Up and down, up and down; my head hurts thanks to last night’s pub crawl. Step, knee, step, side-kick. Repeat. Around the world. Pony. Now ... cha-cha! My hands are doing spirit fingers and my legs are on autopilot, but above Tina Turner’s “Nutbush City Limits” I can hear my instructor, Mindy, doing her best to motivate the class. “Anyone have a big night last night? Time to sweat oft those wines, ladies! C’mon, and now ... jump!” She’s smiling, and I self- consciously giggle along but instantly regret that third (or was it fourth?) Midori lemonade. In Mindy’s defence, these kinds…

InLifestyle When anthropologists look back on the dinner tables of 2023, they’ll see a random and heady assortment. Half-eaten packets of Pringles, pretzels and peri-peri popcorn. Pickles wrapped in prosciutto and fat strawberries dipped in burrata. Two-minute noodles tossed with salty capers and sweet pickled ginger. Peanut butter on everything. Rat snacks, hype snacks and lazy dinners will come to define this era’s day on a plate, and it might be indicative of more than just our attitudes toward food. Snacking has become such a pillar of modern life that in the US it’s a $282 billion industry. It is, by definition, the grazing, picking and nibbling that happens between ‘real’ meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner - but these days they’re increasingly used to replace them altogether, and we’re…

A DIFFERENT SIDE OF VENICE VENISSA It’s the Italian tourist magnet synonymous with winding canals, dashing gondoliers, dazzling masked balls ... and eye-watering prices. The more peaceful and purse-pleasing way to visit La Serenissima? Stay at Venissa, a wine resort-cum-oasis set in a historic walled vineyard on Mazzorbo Island, a 50-minute boat ride from the main city. Owned by a family of winemakers, the property boasts five minimalist guestrooms with exposed beam ceilings and antique furnishings (up to 25 square metres in size, palatial by Venetian standards), overlooking the lapping lagoon or adjoining vineyard and vegie garden. While you’re there, dine at the intimate inhouse Mfchelin-starred restaurant run by Francesco Brutto (named Italy’s best young chef in 2016 and 2017), stock up on prosecco and Italian wine - make sure…

1 SONG FOR THE MUTE The Australian brand’s pieces are forward-thinking but grounded in what we all want to wear: think ragged hems on schoolgirl skirts; long coats tied with rope; a crinkled dress made for living, working and breathing deeply in. 2 ST. AGNI St. Agni breaks the mould of a Byron Bay brand. You’ll find no nouveau-boho here - it all about sharp, clean lines juxtaposed with the occasional moment of textural intrigue. Design duo Lara and Matt Fells have been nurturing a love of ‘90s minimalism lately, and it been welcomed with open arms across the fashion-sphere- even Kendall Jenner is a fan of the brand's pared-back basics and wore two of its pieces to Coachella earliear this year. 3 HOUSE OF DAGMAR Calling all quiet luxury aspirants: Tik…

Meanwhile, Weekend Max Mara has specialised in elevated, off-duty essentials since the ’80s, and now taps cool creatives to collaborate on its Signature Collections. THE AESTHETIC: It-Brit with a side of Italian luxury. THE INSPIRATION: A 1982 magazine shoot photographed by Bruce Weber and styled by Grace Coddington was at the centre of Phelan’s mood board. “I fell in love with the pictures when I was 16, and they’re as fresh to me today as they were back then,” she says. KEY PIECES: A flared trouser suit to make you feel to per cent cooler. The crispest white shirt. A voluminous puffer splashed…

Four white girls, blonde with blue eyes (the kind you see in TikToks about ‘Seandi Girl 2.0’ style) dressed simply in floral tunics (the kind you see in Instagram carousels about how to channel ‘Cottagecore’) sit entwined on a bed, smiling serenely at us. Shot on a film camera, they’re teenagers - no, girls, who stare with the knowledge of being seen - no, looked at. These girls and their perfectly straight hair, their porcelain skin and their knowing gazes will be familiar to anyone who spent nights avoiding sleep by trawling the depths of Tumblr for a sign of the person they should be, and following the blogs of people like Tavi Gevinson in the hopes that they’d one day feel sure of themselves. The Virgin Suicides wasn’t just…

MIDNIGHT FEASTING Dining into the small hours of the night is no longer reserved for sleepovers or booze fuelled McDonald’s runs. Buzzy bars and restaurants are serving top nosh around the clock: at Sydney’s re opened Big Poppa’s, order hand cut pasta and gourmet cheeses until 3am; Brisbane’s Greaser does American diner fare for night owls; and France Soir, Melbourne’s most storied Parisian bistro, plates up duck a l’orange until the clock strikes 12. The greasy kebab has never looked less appealing. Smells like luxury Hotel represent the life we wish we lived, so it’s no surprise we want to continue the experience beyond check-out - and an uptick in shoppable hotel fragrances will help you do just chat. Cogui Coqui in Mexico (above) epitomises the trend - part chic…

InBeauty If the biggest beauty investment of your teens was accumulating more Chi Chi Eye Magic Instant Eye Shadow than there were Under 18s dances to wear it to, then you’ll remember the cultural chokehold fake tan had in the noughties. The holy trinity of the era - Paris Hilton, LiLo and the cast of Laguna Beach - all rocked an on-trend orange glow, and being pale was akin to destitution on the social currency scale. My own attempts to bronze with the best of them fell spectacularly short, and still glow somewhere deep in the Meta servers. Nearly two decades later, tanning has again reached mass saturation. Miu Miu, Versace and Fendi campaigns feature synthetically bronzed models, celebrity spray tan artist James Harknett says he’s getting 200 requests a…

Standing in front of a wall of skincare, contemplating which product’s going to fix what ails you, you’d be forgiven for feeling a little overwhelmed. Beauty innovations have moved at breakneck speed for the past few decades, fuelled by constantly improving technology as well as consumer understanding and expectations. We’re entering a nexus of skincare — we’ve got all the gear, but we might have lost the idea. Because newer, harder, faster and stronger isn’t always better, and, as it turns out, we’ve already known for cons much of the most important beauty wisdom. Cutting-edge skincare innovator Dr Dennis Gross, for example, introduced a generation to the benefits of high-tech, at-home LED, but the brand’s latest launch - the Pro Facial Steamer - is inspired by a much lower-fi protocol…

BOOZE-FREE BASH With sobriety rising, more modern couples are saying “I don’t” to the open bar (check out #DryWedding for evidence). But can you throw a sober, or sober-curious, reception that’s still high on vibes? “We think it’s best to strike a thoughtful, inclusive balance between dry and traditional alcohol options,” says Caroline Au, design executive at JCAU Events, an award-winning Melbourne events company and production agency. She suggests offering a range of non-alcoholic beverages - thilk zero-alcohol beers, virgin cocktails, kombucha, soda, sparkling, and handcrafted, creative mocktails that look like the real thilg. Fruit is the new floral centrepiece. “Lemons, grapes and melons are becoming popular to mix with flowers; they cut down the cost and can be donated after,” says Sarah Cowley of studio Haven and Sarah. @bynyejewels…
