When women come together, magic happens. This well-known adage was proved with punch a year ago this month when the #MeToo movement engulfed the world. It laid bare one clear, powerful message: when women collectively speak out, they can change the world. And if those voices belong to the high-profile – accomplished women who have seemingly perfect lives yet harbour deep secrets – the impact can be seismic. Because of a few brave celebrities, millions of others felt confident to tell their own stories, and let out a united sigh of relief knowing they weren’t alone and shouldn’t feel ashamed, stigmatised or suffer in silence. With this in mind, we decided it was time to smash the stigma surrounding Australia’s most common mental-health issue by asking well-known women to share…

JESINTA FRANKLIN, 27, model and TV host “I first experienced anxiety when I won Miss Universe Australia [in 2010] and it was just so overwhelming. There were days where it was really hard for me to even go outside because I felt like everyone was looking at me. A few years ago, I was lying in bed and I felt like I couldn’t breathe and that my chest was caving in. I went to the doctors because I thought I had a heart problem and it was actually anxiety. My anxiety is a physical thing: my heart rate goes through the roof and my hands get clammy. “My husband [Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin] can sense when I’m anxious and helps me through it. He has been through his own battles with…

As I walk into my children’s school, I take a deep breath. As usual, I am surrounded by beachy, breezy mums in their tank tops, activewear and spaghetti-strap dresses. And for once, I’m dressed the same – specifically in a new singlet top with a flowing skirt. Subconsciously, I hold the children’s schoolbags in front of my upper arms before realising this is: a) not exactly hiding anything and b) a surefire way to litter the car park with upended lunchboxes and pencil cases. Deep breaths. I need to walk my youngest to his preschool room, and I’m in a slight panic as I realise I can’t turn back. One, because the kids need to get to their classrooms and two, because marie claire have asked me to go a…

Before Tove Styrke walks onstage she channels her inner pop diva, drawing inspiration from the Japanese cartoon TV series Cowboy Bebop, old-school Madonna looks and Britney Spears music videos from the 2000s. “I want to feel like the superhero version of myself onstage,” says Styrke, 25, who gets into character with lipstick and glitter. “Doing my make-up has become a ritual. I spend an hour painting my face and transforming into who I need to be onstage.” Styrke, who grew up in a small country town with her musician father and ballet teacher mum, perfected her pre-gig routine when she supported both Lorde and Katy Perry on tour. “I had no idea what to expect of [Perry’s] tour because it was the biggest thing I’ve ever done. I didn’t even…

Retinol, retinoids … vitamin A can be a confusing ingredient to get your head around. But in terms of real benefits, this skin ingredient is a star player. In fact, it is the only ingredient clinically proven to create real skin change. “Retinol helps improve overall texture and tone,” says Dr Dendy Engelman, Elizabeth Arden consulting dermatologist based in New York. Happy to tackle a range of skin issues such as radiance, pore size, skin elasticity, unevenness, lines and wrinkles, vitamin A performs skincare wizardry when warding off the typical signs of ageing. Experts say vitamin A is appropriate for all adult skin (though they advise putting it aside during pregnancy), but it is particularly valuable for those aged over 30 – when collagen production starts to wane. “Retinol helps…

MADELINE COWE, FORMER MISS WORLD AUSTRALIA TAKING THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE Former Miss World Australia and ZYRTEC® ambassador, Madeline Cowe, has lived with hayfever allergies for most of her life and she admits it has impacted her work and social life. This September she’s taking the ultimate challenge, wearing this bespoke, living dress created by floral artist Jasmine Christie and featuring 1,200 high-pollen-count flowers to the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival. If you suffer from hayfever, you already know that the physical symptoms can wreak havoc on your daily life, affecting the way you look and feel. These symptoms are known as Allergy Face, a term that describes the visible signs of hayfever such as watery eyes, a red nose and puffiness. Keep them at bay with ZYRTEC®, a rapid acting and…

So, which arm will it be?” asks a nurse, smiling. I’m sitting in a soft clinic chair surrounded by signs about hygiene and piles of magazines. I offer my left arm for sacrifice, and she decides on a faint, barely-there blue vein – I wouldn’t make a good drug addict – and guides in a small needle. I wait for a sharp pain (it doesn’t eventuate) as I watch the chilled liquid, hanging from a bag, drip slowly down a long clear tube until it disappears into the cannula now firmly taped to my arm. I can feel it work its way around my body: I feel a chill, then heaviness on my chest, making me more aware of my breathing. This is normal, apparently. The liquid drips so slowly…

Uluwatu is the community perched above Bali’s Impossibles surf break, and has only one downside: having to take the stairs to the beach. Not so at Anantara Resort, which has an elevator. This gem is full of surprises, from the pool-side canapés to the huge rooms. On the food front, the wagyu at Sono Teppanyaki is sublime, as is 360’s tuna sambal, while Sea Fire Salt (pictured) is magnificent for catching the sunset. Visit anantara.com.…

FUSION RESORT With the river on one side and beach on the other, this resort is a rejuvenation epicentre. They have a breakfast “anywhere anytime” concept here, which is a welcome change from the usual international buffet (not that there’s anything wrong with that). The highlight, though, is an all-inclusive spa program. Think unlimited massages, facials and manicures offset by the odd yoga class at no extra cost. From $340 a night, fusionresorts.com. It’s 5pm on a Tuesday, cocktail time on Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s ‘Pearl Island’. The afternoon sun is slumping towards the horizon as it warms my daybed’s canvas. The palm trees overhead – all silhouettes and sunlight – beg to be photographed but I’m too blissfully catatonic to reach for my phone. I’m gazing across pool upon pool…

Trailblazing artist Marina Abramoviì has built a career of controversy. Now, her latest statement is sparking political divide in Italy and incensing the far-right for its pro-immigrant message. Abramoviì has come under fire for creating a poster promoting Italy’s Barcolana regatta, one of the world’s largest sailing events. Of the work featuring the artist wielding a flag with the slogan “we’re all in the same boat”, Trieste deputy mayor Paolo Polidori says it is counterintuitive to his party’s decision to close ports against refugee rescue ships. “[It is] unacceptable to make political propaganda out of an event that belongs to the entire city,” Polidori said. Yet efforts to censor the poster were refused, with Barcolana president Mitja Gialuz commenting “everyone will give their own interpretation of the content”. UK Sew…

Anxiety is generally caused by a combination of several factors, some of which can include personality, mental health conditions, ongoing stressful events, physical health problems and substance use. There are different types of anxiety, but the most common forms are generalised anxiety disorder (where a person feels anxious most days and for prolonged periods of time), social anxiety, specific phobias (such as travelling on a plane) and panic disorder (recurrent panic attacks). There’s a range of strategies to try to manage anxiety, but if this is proving difficult you should seek advice from a health professional who can offer specialised support and treatment. Five strategies to try if you’re FEELING ANXIOUS 1 Slow breathing. When you are anxious, your breathing becomes faster and shallower. Try deliberately slowing down your breathing.…

It’s a trope as old as time. Boy dumps girl. Girl drowns her sorrows in a bottle of shiraz, washed down with a tub of cookie-dough ice-cream. She blubbers her way through Bridget Jones’s Diary, only emerging from the sea of tissues to text her ex, “Diid you ever even lovee me?” Girl passes out. The next night, she does it all again. Mercedes Fernandez, 25, was not that girl. Following the breakdown of her three-year relationship, she escaped to a luxury estate on the Malibu coastline. She did yoga and meditation, grazed on organic quinoa and kombucha, talked about her feelings and worked with experts to analyse her relationship patterns. After three days, she felt refreshed, revived and ready to face the world. Fernandez’s sun-kissed sojourn is emblematic of…

I HAVE BEEN A GREAT ADMIRER OF GIVENCHY FOR SO MANY YEARS. It has always been my favourite brand, and I’ve always felt I could really be myself wearing their clothes. It seemed like a perfect partnership. MY VISION OF THE GIVENCHY WOMAN IS a woman who is confident, intelligent, classic, but also someone who pushes boundaries and marches to the beat of her own drum. [To me] being self-possessed and compassionate makes a woman beautiful. I THINK SCENT HAS GREAT POWER. Certain fragrances can evoke all sorts of memories and feelings. The fact that the original L’Interdit was Audrey Hepburn’s perfume fascinates me. It felt very special to be asked to be part of bringing the fragrance back to life. FOR ME, THE FRAGRANCE FEELS QUITE ROOTED IN SOMETHING…

A recent study found that 59 per cent of Australians felt tired and lacking in energy when they were suffering from hay fever, and a further 24 per cent said they missed outdoor events because of the associated sniffles. We say, don’t let hay fever ruin your social life! Here are five ways to combat the dreaded “allergy face”. MAKE A CUP OF TEA There’s nothing nicer than a cuppa, especially if it can help you fight this affliction. So brew up one of the following teas: peppermint tea is thought to relieve sinus congestion, while green tea is said to block the production of histamine and assist the immune system. For something sweeter, try ginger tea with some honey. This combination can be used to loosen phlegm and help…

Blame it on the Titanic; cruise ships have long had an image problem. If you believe the hype, they are a playground for newlyweds, the overfed and the nearly dead, a constant cycle of buffets and bad magic shows. But the tides are turning. Today, millennials and gen Xers account for more than half of all Australian passengers taking to the seas, and cruise companies are responding with world-class dining, international DJs and unabashed luxury. Coupled with the convenience of having to unpack only once, it’s no wonder boating holidays are becoming the travel trend du jour. FLOATING SANCTUARIES What’s better than a five-star hotel with dazzling design and royal service? All of that at sea. In 2020, The Ritz-Carlton will set sail in the form of a luxury liner…

It was a rockstar’s welcome. In the Denver arena, 15,000 screaming fans greeted the woman who strode onto the stage. For all appearances, it was the confident entrance of a seasoned public figure, from the megawatt grin to the perfect teal dress. But when Michelle Obama took to the podium that evening at the Democratic National Convention in 2008, it was after two bruising years on her husband’s campaign trail for the presidency. She knew that if Barack clinched his party’s nomination, and then the White House, it would be the culmination of a lifetime of defying expectations for both of them. But if there was one thing the then 44-year-old lawyer and mother knew about, it was facing challenges head on – and winning. The South Side of Chicago…

1 PASTEL Rosy nude splashes the season’s most alluring accessories, but the look is far from saccharine. Think ballet slippers adorned with razor-sharp spikes for a gritty-in-pink finish. 2 MONOCHROME “I have said that black has it all. White too,” Coco Chanel once mused. “Their beauty is absolute.” Today the classic combination lives on, best realised with a hint of ritz and glitz reminiscent of the roaring ’20s. STYLE TIP Plain black puts a refined spin on the triangular neckerchief. STYLE TIP Add playful accessories to dial down the drama. 3 BRIGHTS Raid the Pantone colour chart for eye-popping hues, then incorporate ruffles, ribbons and rosettes that sing of balmy summer nights. 4 METALLICS Iridescent silver, top-to-toe sequins and liquid gold – the season’s most dazzling trend ensures you’ll hit…

When I hear stories of parents and children separated and held in inhumane detention centres because of the Trump administration’s cruel “zero tolerance” immigration policy, I think of my mother. Many of the families torn apart come from El Salvador, my mother’s birth country, the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America. My mother was born in San Salvador, the country’s capital, in 1939. When she was about five, my grandfather was briefly arrested for speaking out against the opposing political party and he left El Salvador for the United States to build a new life in Los Angeles. My grandmother, mother and her brother joined him there in 1948. But like many children who come to this land as strangers, she quickly learnt to speak English and…

3.6 MILLION PEOPLE IN AUSTRALIA HAVE SUFFERED FROM A SHORTAGE OF FOOD IN THE PAST YEAR (27% OF THOSE PEOPLE WERE CHILDREN) 65,000 PEOPLE ARE TURNED AWAY FROM FOOD CHARITIES EVERY MONTH BECAUSE OF FOOD SHORTAGES 1IN 5 CHILDREN HAVE GONE HUNGRY IN THE PAST YEAR Angela Hammond will never forget the day she was forced to go to her daughter Chelsea’s school and tell the teachers that she couldn’t afford to buy her little girl’s lunch. “I was bawling my eyes out,” she says of that awful day in mid-2017. “I was so embarrassed. It’s one thing going to your friends for help, but to have to go to the school … I just felt like, ‘How did I get here?’” When Angela, 37, was still married, the idea…

SABINA, 9, INDIA Standing on the roof of one of the shacks in the slum where she lives with her parents and brother in Delhi, Sabina imagines a world filled with colour and beauty. “I am always wearing the second-hand clothes of my family,” she says. “I dream of beautiful dresses that would make me look like a movie star and I would be able to shine and dance through the slum.“ DJARIDA, 8, MEXICO “When I grow up, I want to be a veterinarian,” says Djarida, who loves all animals – especially dogs. She lives in Chiapas, a disadvantaged part of Mexico where restrictions are often placed on females in the family. “Many girls are required to help at home, but I’m happy going to school every day,” she…

THE HUSBAND’S SECRET Arguably an even better read than Big Little Lies, Moriarty’s breakout novel, The Husband’s Secret, follows what happens when a happily married woman finds a letter written by her husband, which is only to be opened in the event of his death.

Architect Andy Martin is doing the London thing. A surf-loving boy from Sydney, he hung up his board in the late ’80s to splash around in bigger ponds. After arriving in London in 1989, he then spent time in Japan and Paris, where he experienced his first taste of success working alongside fellow Australian architect Marc Newson on the landmark Mayfair restaurant Coast for top restaurateur Oliver Peyton. Back in London, Andy opened AMA (Andy Martin Architecture) in 1999, which forged its reputation creating killer restaurant interiors – Chotto Matte in Soho, The Admiralty in Somerset House and Isola in Knightsbridge, to namedrop a few. On the residential front, he designed the home of Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher. So, yes, London suits him. Still, when designing a home to share…

“MY NANNA IS A FIGHTER AND SHE HAS ALWAYS ENCOURAGED ME TO STAY STRONG” VALERIE WARD My nanna Valerie has been through extraordinary hardship. She grew up dealing with the aftermath of the Depression, her father was at war, her baby brother drowned when she was a kid and she has battled cancer twice. She is a fighter and I find her strength so inspiring. I don’t know whether it’s through osmosis or direct learning from my nanna, but I have a set of balls. I’m tough like her. She has always encouraged me to stay strong and be grateful even when things are hard. She’s in her 70s now and she just keeps soldiering on, which can drive everyone in the family a bit crazy because she doesn’t know…
