Innholdsfortegnelse for August 2018 i Marie Claire Australia

We’ve all experienced it at some point. The guy who cuts you off midway through a sentence; the male co-worker who gets that promotion even though you’re just as qualified; the blokey car dealer who ignores you. The latter happened to me just last month, in fact. Browsing a Sydney showroom with my husband, a friendly salesman approached us. I fired off a volley of questions and he answered politely, but focused entirely on my partner. I felt invisible despite attempts to draw his attention. Afterwards, I couldn’t work out why I was so enraged. What irked me wasn’t his indifference, but the assumption my husband was in charge and therefore my input redundant. Welcome to the world of male privilege, where men are bestowed unearned advantages solely because of…

A BRIDAL AFFAIR Striking a balance between refined and romantic, glamour and grace, Givenchy’s creations have been worn by some of the world’s most breathtaking brides. Markle’s gown was crafted from double-bonded silk cady with a triple silk organza underskirt, but the real star was the five-metre-long veil delicately embroidered with flowers of the Commonwealth. Prince Harry was in awe. “He came straight up to me [at the reception] and said, ‘Oh my God, thank you. She looks absolutely stunning,’” designer Waight Keller told reporters following the royal nuptials. Hubert James Marcel Taffin de Givenchy fell in love with fashion when, as a young boy, he first laid eyes on a collection of Chanel gowns designed by Elsa Schiaparelli. But it wasn’t until he met an ingenue called Audrey Hepburn…

“I feel strengthened by Time’s Up and intrigued to see how things will change … I feel braver in being honest about things” When a poised and graceful Lily James walks the red carpet next month at the premiere of her latest film, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, I’ll be picturing her practising that same strut around the “really dodgy flat” in east London where she lived during her early 20s. She was renting with two guys she went to school with; one was a “phenomenal dancer” who used to put on the actress’ heels and show her how it’s done. “I don’t even know how he squeezed them on,” she laughs, “but he literally taught me this whole routine, which I still kind of do.” James, now 29,…

BONJOURRRRR! HOW ARE YOU, SNABIES?” Zain Karazon trills to her Snapchat followers on a grey morning in Amman, Jordan. She’s just completed her beauty routine: long, caramel hair expertly twisted into waves and fake eyelashes applied, giving her a doll-like appearance. Her outfit is a Yeezy-esque ensemble of black tights, boots and an oversize hooded denim tunic with distressed sleeves, printed with the words, “Where is my mind?” After posting a shot of her coffee, she grabs her two bedazzled iPhones and heads to a cafe, where she’s met by an army of teenage girls who chant her nickname, Zoozoo. “When I was young, I wanted all people to know who I was,” says Karazon, 27. “Now, thanks to social media, I can say one thing and it reaches one…

In the Middle East, Haifaa Al-Mansour is a shining trailblazer for women’s rights. After receiving death threats for her early documentaries, Saudi Arabia’s first female filmmaker has matured into a director of subtlety revealed in her films, Wadjda and the upcoming Mary Shelley. She has also managed to retain her renowned sunny disposition. Her temperament suited the Australian way of life when she moved here with her American diplomat husband, Brad Niemann, more than a decade ago. Living in Sydney’s leafy Mosman, she wrote the first treatment of Wadjda, a heart-warming story of an 11-year-old girl’s desperation to have a bicycle – based on Al-Mansour’s own experience. The landmark film was not only the first full-length feature to be shot in Saudi Arabia, it was the first to be directed…

THE BREADWINNING MUM SAVING FOR A HOUSE DEPOSIT Name: Michelle Occupation: PR business owner Age: 34 Location: Victoria Salary: $150k – $200k (before tax) Monthly pay: Approximately $7500 I work from home in my own PR business, now in its third year. The business covers all the finances for the family because my husband Shaun is not currently working. We have an eight-year-old daughter, Evie. On the side I’m studying psychic development and a lot of my spending goes towards this. I hope to eventually save for a house deposit. We are currently renting a three-bedroom house outside Melbourne. MONDAY I wake up and feed the animals, then make breakfast for the family.

HEAD ON The best thing about the Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones ($399.95, at apple.com.au) isn’t the matt gold finish; it’s the Fast Fuel feature that gives you three hours of easy-listening from a five-minute charge.

MODERN HISTORY Rockstars and rebels have been living in Levi’s for more than a century (see exhibit A: Marilyn Monroe in 1952). And now the story comes full circle: LA label RE/DONE takes preloved jeans by the iconic American brand and reworks them into vintage-cool cuts. “Forever fashion”, literally. ECO CRED Newsflash: denim manufacturing can be rife with toxic chemicals and water waste. These brands are doing their bit to fuse sustainability and style: Bassike (smart water technology), Wynn Hamlyn (locally produced) and MiH Jeans (organic cotton). STRAIGHT AND NARROW If anyone’s got us rethinking our go-to jean cut, it’s Pernille Teisbaek. The Danish style-setter is making a serious case for the resurrection of the sleek and tapered skinny-leg – best paired with a voluminous coat. OUT OF THE BLUE…

THE DEEP SIDE PART To up the glam, take your inspiration from Roland Mouret and Lanvin. “A metal toothcomb is going to be your best friend,” says celebrity stylist Anthony Nader at RAW salon. “Place the point of the comb where the hairline starts and glide the tail along the scalp. It’s the easiest way to get a precise part line.” TRY Lady Jayne Metal Tail Comb, $5.39 METALLIC Last season’s glitter gets an edgy overhaul with sheeny metallic finishes. “Reach for a [product with a] fine reflect, as opposed to chunky glitter,” says Gilbert Soliz, global make-up artist for Marc Jacobs Beauty, who suggests shades of taupe, bronze and gold. “They’re more flattering.” TRY Revlon ColorStay Crème Eye Shadow in Honey, $14.95, available at Priceline Pharmacy GRAPHIC LINER Take…

SHADES OF BEIGE The word beige might make you think “oh…” rather than “oh!”, but this latest Les Beiges collection by Chanel is the opposite of dull. From a complexion-perfecting luminiser to a shadow palette that gives eyes mesmerising depth, your daily make-up routine just got more thrilling. MC LOVES WINTER LIPS From scrubs to gloss, keep your lips in perfect poutable shape this cold season with these new berry-inspired recruits.

MC LOVES GLOSS-MAKERS Rich, yet light and able to moisturise…

1 ACTIVATED CHARCOAL Our newsfeed is overflowing with beauty bloggers brushing their teeth with this fine black powder in the hope it will make their teeth whiter. It also claims to bind to toxins and chemicals in the body when consumed, allowing them to be flushed out so they’re not reabsorbed, while also benefiting digestive cleansing and immune function. Our conclusion: Research into these health benefits is inconclusive and contradictory. While charcoal can whiten teeth, a growing body of dental professionals say its abrasiveness seriously damages teeth enamel. However, it is used as a safe and effective treatment in hospitals to treat poisonings and overdoses due to its natural properties, and it is effective for water filtration, with studies showing it can lessen heavy metals and fluoride. 2 HIMALAYAN SALT…

Fourteen-year-old pupil Olivia Newton-John was not impressed. The vocal coach her mother had booked lessons with was the best in Melbourne, but he was trying to mould her into an opera singer when her passion was pop. Determined to do it her way, she walked out of their sessions in 1962 – and within four years had recorded her first single. “I wouldn’t sing anything I hated. I [had] to like it, or I wouldn’t sing it,” she recounted later. And it paid off. Today, Newton-John has sold more than 100 million records and starred in one of the most successful film musicals of all time, Grease, which is celebrating its 40th birthday this year. Newton-John was born on September 26, 1948 in Cambridge, England, the youngest of three children.…

MARJORIE FERGUSON My mother passed away unexpectedly in September last year. At first, the shock was overwhelming. It was exquisitely sad, but writing about my mother and the inquest into her death [for the book On Mother] enabled me to understand it a little better. When someone dies, you suddenly see them more clearly than you did. My mother lived resolutely in the present – and that’s one of the reasons I admire her most. When she made a decision, she stuck to it and didn’t agonise over it. She grew up in Kenya in a very polite middle-class English family and she went against her parent’s wishes to elope with my father. Then she moved from Africa (which she loved) to Aberdeen in Scotland, where the days are short…

THE LUST LIST 1 BAGS OF STYLE What do you get when you cross the basket bag with some Gucci glamour? These sweet wicker wonders, splashed in the brand’s signature green and red and finished with shiny gold hardware. A little bit ’70s, a whole lotta yes, please. 2 SCI-FI SNEAKERS Never has the word runway made more sense than when Louis Vuitton debuted its Archlight kicks at Paris Fashion Week. With an exaggerated arch and chunky ’90s sole, the aerodynamic design took us back to the future – and nailed the “ugly” sneaker trend. 3 WATCH THIS FACE These days, most of us live with a trusty timekeeper forever in our palms or pockets – but that by no means renders the wristwatch obsolete. Today the timepiece serves as…

Have you ever daydreamt about what it’d be like to ditch the heels, make-up and perpetual judgement of your looks and flip genders to experience the world as a man? To find out how men really talk about women; to understand what all that testosterone really feels like; to see what male privilege is like? The closest most of us get is wearing boyfriend jeans and nicking his Christian Dior Sauvage. But for those who have transitioned, crossing over has given them a unique insight into how both sexes operate. While they’ve always identified as male, they’ve been socialised as women, so they have the remarkable ability to view life from both sides of the coin. We spoke to three trans guys who agreed to report back from the other…

WILLIE MAE THORNTON Blues singer Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton released “Hound Dog” in 1952. That’s a whole four years before Elvis covered the song in 1956 and received all the credit for it. Ain’t nothing but a hound dog … MARGARET KEANE In 1970, Margaret Keane came out as the real artist of the iconic big-eyed children paintings, which her husband Walter had been claiming as his own for years. When a judge challenged them to a paint-off in court, Margaret painted a masterpiece in 53 minutes. M. I. A. When M.I.A.’s ex-boyfriend and former collaborator took credit for “discovering” her at the start of her career, the “Paper Planes” hit-maker set the record straight, saying, “I forged my own path and style and genre. I didn’t want anyone…

1. If I weren’t an actress, I’d be: A teacher. I like the idea of working with kids and being able to help someone express their thoughts and open up. 2. Best career advice I’ve received: To not follow the money, but to follow the education of projects. 3. The three qualities that got me where I am today: I’m very thorough, I enjoy collaborating and I’m curious about people who are different from me. 4. Moment I felt I’d made it: After Zero Dark Thirty, I had this sense of financial stability that I’ve never experienced before in my whole life. 5. Kind of work I’d do for free: Work with animals. 6. Favourite perk of the job: The fashion. It’s wonderful to work with designers to help bring…

LEVI’S LOVE Sometimes you keep coming back to a classic. First made in 1873, vintage Levi’s 501s are the season’s strongest directive, with the cult silhouette still inspiring designers today. Think high in the waist, straight in the leg, well worn and unequivocally cool. STATEMENT FRAY Clean finishes are out, and raw edges in. Taking the recent trend for unkempt hems up a notch, designers are putting their scissors to ripped knees and deliberately dishevelled detailing. Join the fray. COLOUR CRUSH On Wednesdays we wear … pink. But courtesy of coloured denim – spanning from icy shades to coral and salmon – you’ll want to wear it seven days running. SEVENTIES STYLE Do you dare to flare? With just a nod to the hippies of yesteryear, today’s flares are cut…

With high-tech creams and targeted serums on offer, it can be easy to overlook that crucial first step in our skincare routine: cleansing. To keep us at the basin longer (experts suggest we massage our product in for at least two minutes) brands are offering ingredient-rich and decadently sensorial cleansers in a range of different guises. Foams, gels, creams, oils and clays – there’s a feel-good formulation to suit every skin type. But don’t stop at just one. The Korean practice of double cleansing not only achieves deep purification, it makes stocking up a legitimate skin investment.…

EFFORTLESSLY CHIC CHI C The hair is all about “really beautiful lift and effortless flyaways”, says Lauren McCowan, creative director of Cloud Nine. “We’re essentially finishing off [the look] with a dusting of Kela beads … it’s really chic, elegant and effortless.” Try Kela Sephora Shine On Hair Charms, $50 for a set of three FLIRTY & FEMININE While flawless skin was the focus, Macgraw added feminine flashes of colour. “There’s a slight contour but very buffed out and natural with a touch of pink on the cheeks. We’ve also created a Macgraw shade [of lipstick],” says Lara Srokowski, Lancôme national make-up director, who mixed plum and red for the perfect personalised look. Try Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge in Soir (top) and Berry Noir (above), $54 each OUT OF THIS WORLD…

If you suffer from itchy or dry skin, you may find the cooler months can make it worse. Lower humidity can cause dryness, which in turn can irritate skin and cause flaking and itching. But the good news is, dry skin is now manageable! Aveeno is a dermatologist recommended brand, with a product range specifically formulated to manage dry skin by harnessing the natural benefits of colloidal oatmeal, nourishing and replenishing for improved texture and softness. The Skin Relief range is now also available in a gentle coconut scent, which is clinically proven to be as gentle as fragrance-free products. SKIN RELIEF GENTLE SCENT BODY WASH WITH NOURISHING COCONUT Designed for sensitive skin, Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash combines naturally active colloidal oatmeal with rich emollients and gentle cleansers, to…

A white painted floor is surely the stuff of Insta fantasy – good on camera, not so much in real life. Renovating specialist Heidi Daburger says otherwise: “I’ve always painted my floors. Experience makes you confident and committed to your decisions.” She is the zeitgeisty owner and creator of this bohemian dream home in the hippie-cum-hipster town of Bangalow, on the NSW North Coast. Ha’veli House, as she calls it, is named after a type of Arabic mansion, but to Heidi it means “a mini palace”. She describes her style as “pure island: relaxed, calm, white and minimal”, which evolved from the eclectic homes she lived in as a child. Heidi grew up in Melbourne, where she started designing properties and sourcing specialty pieces from overseas. She migrated to her…

“Why would an adult want to spend an entire weekend pretending to be an animal?” It could be a normal Friday night. The DJ’s playing “Get Low” by Lil Jon, the dance floor is pumping and I’m sipping a Corona at the bar. I could be at any club in the Sydney CBD. Except a lion in a tutu just walked in the door, there’s an albino wolf twerking in the corner and a husky just stood on my tail. No, I’m not having a bad trip; I’m at a furry convention on the Gold Coast. Which is much the same thing. When marie claire commissioned me to go undercover at the ninth annual Furry Down Under (FurDU) convention, the biggest furry convention in the country, I was intrigued –…

“This is the most glamorous four days of my life,” coos Laura Harrier, shortly after getting a beauty touch-up on a sunny roof terrace overlooking the French Riviera. The former model is enjoying a whirlwind week at the Cannes Film Festival, where she’s already wowed the red carpet in a peach Louis Vuitton gown for the world premiere of her new movie, Spike Lee’s powerful satire BlacKkKlansman. While Marvel fans know her for playing love interest Liz in the recent Spider-Man: Homecoming, it’s Lee’s prize-winning film that will propel her to stardom. Harrier, 28, plays Patrice, a fiery 1970s activist in a true tale about a black cop, Ron Stallworth (John David Washington), who infiltrates the Ku Klux Klan. “I think it’s very important and a necessary film for right…

PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT Capitol Theatre, Sydney until July 19 It’s raining men, hallelujah. Australia’s most successful homegrown musical, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, is bedazzling Sydney this month with its iconic costumes, dancefloor hits and glitter. So much glitter. A DOLL’S HOUSE, PART 2 Melbourne Theatre Company from August 11 This Broadway smash-hit is a fascinating sequel to Henrik Ibsen’s novel A Doll’s House. In it, Marta Dusseldorp plays Nora Helmer, who handed her husband her keys and left home, slamming the door behind her in 1879.…

THE START I did ballet as a child, but I never really enjoyed being on stage. I loved the costumes and dressing up, just not performing. In high school, I did a costume-making course and realised it combined my love of the theatre with my passion for sewing and craft. Even better, it was behind the scenes! It was the first time I considered costume making an actual job. After school, I studied a diploma of fashion, which taught me the basics of sewing and patternmaking and then I did an advanced diploma of costume making at TAFE. THE HUSTLE While I was studying, I volunteered one day a week at Opera Australia, which gave me some really good contacts in the industry. After graduating, I worked as a freelancer…

When it comes to my hair, I’m pretty low-maintenance. I get a colour and trim every six weeks and after I wash my hair, I tong it into loose waves. I usually get about four days out of my hair before I need to wash it again. I spray Klorane Dry Shampoo [Judd is the brand’s ambassador] on the roots every morning to absorb the oil. I re-tong the front if I need to. My hair actually looks its best about two or three days after my last wash. When I’m off-duty, I simply tie my hair into a topknot or high pony. Easy. I use medical-grade cosmeceutical skincare, The Skincare Company [which Judd is brand ambassador for]. It has lots of active ingredients in a range of serums. My…

If you’ve never been a “yoga person”, then now is the time to challenge that perception. Gone are the days where yoga was just for serious stretch-aholics. Now there are a string of yoga-inspired classes that mix and match a range of disciplines. Nobody knows that better than nutritionist, yoga teacher and author of The Yoga Body Lola Berry. “With so many different styles, it can take a few goes to find the right class for you,” she says. “My advice is to start with a beginner’s class – even if you feel pretty fit. It’s better to start with the basics and build from there.” To help us understand our Bikram from our hot yoga, we asked Berry to explain the new generation of classes: ACRO This is a…
