Innholdsfortegnelse for January 2021 i Marie Claire Australia

Crack open the champers: finally, there’s something to celebrate. Summer’s here, COVID’s calmer (in many places), borders are opening, Trump’s been cancelled, and we’re counting down to a very special Christmas reunited with family and friends. Better still, we can soon kick 2020 to the kerb and focus on fresh beginnings, new horizons, a clean slate, and all the other optimistic idioms associated with a new year. For some, 2020’s been a time to rethink, rejuvenate and reinvent; for others, it’s been a long, hard slog tinged with tragedy. Wherever you sit, I think we can agree when the clock strikes midnight on December 31, everyone will exhale a sigh of relief. Which is why we’ve abandoned our tradition of dedicating this issue to reflecting on the year that was.…

From the outset, the Pasha de Cartier was a nonconformist. It was designed for the connoisseur who thought outside the circle, defined instead by its square filigree railtrack within the slick round dial. Pierce Brosnan wore the shiny status symbol on screen in the’80s; American musician Sammy Davis Jr was famously said to be buried in an 18-carat gold version gifted to him by Frank Sinatra; and Diana, Princess of Wales, always an early fashion adopter, carried off the masculine watch with such flair that the French luxury house decided to deem it a unisex design. Now, a new set of stars are discovering the piece’s allure. In a campaign shot by New York-based photographer Craig McDean, five cool kids wear the icon with the same insouciance as their forebears…

I’m tidying up my desk,” says Lucinda Chambers, when we speak over the phone. “My desk has never been so tidy. In fact, my desk has never been tidy at all!” she adds with a laugh. While most home workers acquiesced to sweatpants and their favourite T-shirt long ago, it would take more than COVID-19 to compromise Chambers’ legendary style. Today, the British style icon and former magazine fashion director is dressed in a pair of “really old” cream Arket trousers, an & Other Stories tee and gold earrings by Colville, the label she launched with two friends in 2018. The brand was a foray into design for Chambers, and led to her latest project: designing a capsule collection for Weekend Max Mara. It came about after a chance meeting…

What happens when a celebrity swaps her Jil Sander for a jumpsuit? Nicole Mowbray investigates how white-collar criminals arrange special treatment with the help of personal ‘prison preppers’ From British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell to movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, and from former Donald Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen to TV star Felicity Huffman, a notable figure comes face to face with a possible jail sentence nearly every month. As the adage argues, we are all equal in the eyes of the law. But how true is that, really? Do the super-rich serve time in the same way regular people do, and can money make any difference to the day-to-day in prison? It’s a question currently being pondered by lawyers in America. Maxwell is on remand in the Metropolitan Detention Center…

As I sat bare-arsed on an armchair that was not my own on Sunday afternoon, wishing that the room was chillier so that my boobs would perk up a bit, I had time to think about my relationship with my body. It was hard to think about anything else because, three feet away, the British artist Hester Finch was furiously sketching my nude form in vivid pastels. Whenever she looked away from me and concentrated on the sketch on her easel, I would surreptitiously tweak my nipples–they’re much more laidback than I am–to attention. I met Finch last December, when by chance I was seated next to her at a Christmas dinner party for an online platform that works directly with a growing roster of hand-picked artists. Art isn’t my…

Miiesha (pronounced My-ee-sha) is a Pitjantjatjara/Torres Strait Islander woman who grew up in a remote community in Woorabinda, Queensland. It was only last year that she uploaded her first single, Black Privilege, to triple Unearthed, but since then, she’s released her debut album, Nyaaringu, toured with Thelma Plum and been nominated for five ARIA awards. With a voice of pure velvet singing lyrics that relay the Australian First Nations experience, this is an artist of preternatural talent. Our advice? Get in on the ground floor.…

UNDER COVER Give stressed-out skin a breather with tinted skincare. For calming hydration and a veil of colour, Chanel’s essence foundation wakes up and hydrates skin with a duo of vanilla extracts, leaving a soft-focus glow and long-wear coverage for those 9-to-9 days.

THE DRESS This season’s pleats are less demure, more dazzling. Vibrant, floaty folds promise to put you in the holiday mood. THE BANGLES Turn up the glamour with sculptural, statement bracelets. Think geometric wrist candy stacked artfully up the arm. THE BAGS Can’t choose between your micro and maxi totes? Carry them all. Double- and triple-bagging is the runway accessories trend du jour. THE PANTS Try a timeless tailored trouser in sunshine yellow: chic and polished, but with a generous side of fun. THE SKIRT A bright, body-skimming midiskirt speaks of modern resortwear. Pair with clashing patterns for a luxe finish.…

When I was a teenager in the 1980s, the bum everyone gunned for was, essentially, the Invisi-bum. Anything bigger than two boiled eggs in your back pocket was seen as something to despair over–every aerobics video showed some woman with a flammably dry perm wielding the kind of micro-bum you could fit in a cup. And then: the Kardashians. We could spend the rest of our lives analysing the exact societal pros and cons of the Kardashians becoming the most influential women on earth–is spending 18 seasons of a reality TV show crying into gigantic salads good or bad for women?–but one thing we can absolutely credit them for is the rise of the Big Bum Empire. When it comes to fashionable female body types, things can change so quickly.…

Jodie Comer, with her armfuls of best actress awards, pages of critical acclaim and her place on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list, still calls her childhood bedroom home. It was in this house in England’s Liverpool that Comer covered her walls in indie-pop band posters and ticket stubs from local gigs, listened to Bruce Springsteen with her dad and watched Judge Judy with her mum. These days, a “tacky” plastic chandelier lamp is the last remnant of her childhood interior design taste: tasteful paisley wallpaper has replaced the Blu-tacked teenage memories, and her 2019 Bafta award now takes pride of place. With a rich Liverpudlian laugh, the 27-year-old actor tells the story of her parents–Donna, a transport worker, and Jimmy, a sports massage therapist–nicknaming the Bafta Billy and taking it…

Breathe out… HOW TO MAKE 2021 AMAZING Let’s start with the best news: in 2021, you are no longer going to be suffering under the frankly unreasonable pressure you have borne for the past few years. You have been through the mill, perhaps especially at work, but really in all parts of your life. And now? That pressure is off. Make 2021 a great year by seeking out people you love and enjoying their company. Make time for your friends. Your social circle can really widen this year. It really is a year to breathe out. YOUR NEW MANTRA I love and accept myself, and I am a magnet for amazing people. LOVE IN 2021 Guess what? You are quite simply going to be easier to love this year! You…

EUPHORIA This series proved one of the most controversial of 2019, with its casual MDMA use and the episode that saw more than 30 penises flash across the screen. The show will return for two special episodes meant to bridge the gap between the first and second season, the latter of which has been delayed indefinitely. The first ep is reportedly set to follow Rue (Emmy-winner Zendaya) as she celebrates Christmas. Watch it on Binge from December 7. WE ARE WHO WE ARE Luca Guadagnino made a star of Timothée Chalamet in Call Me By Your Name. Now, the director is turning to TV for the first time with We Are Who We Are. Set in Italy, it follows two American teens living with their parents on a military base.…

Women have long been under-represented in art galleries across the globe. Right now, 51 per cent of the world’s visual artists are women, yet they make up less than a quarter of the artists exhibited in public museums*. The National Gallery of Australia has acknowledged that only 25 per cent of its Australian art collection and 33 per cent of its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art collection is by women artists. In a display of change and solidarity, the gallery has curated a two-part exhibition of 400 works of art by women, called Know My Name: Australian Women Artists 1900 to Now. It aims to challenge the idea that modern and contemporary Australian art is male-dominated, that just because you’ve never heard of these women doesn’t mean they’re not…

KEY PIECE The PRINTED SHIRT A bold and breezy blouse really will take you from the beach to the bar.…

Perhaps it goes without saying, but we will: Winter in Paris is magical. Snow blankets the cobbled streets and Gothic architecture in a white veil. As if that wasn’t charming enough, the whole city literally twinkles with fairy lights. So it’s no wonder Chanel chose it to be the setting of a new N°5 campaign, with a muse almost as iconic as the fragrance itself: Marion Cotillard. “Returning to a French actress meant returning to a subconscious image of French femininity dear to the spirit of the house,” says Thomas du Pré de Saint Maur, Chanel’s head of global creative resources. Cotillard’s star power is undeniable. Her portrayal of Édith Piaf in Olivier Dahan’s film La Vie en Rose was so powerful she became the first French woman in nearly…

GET EVEN The trick to a natural-looking tan is smooth, freshly exfoliated skin. Buff away rough skin around your hands, elbows, knees and feet with an oil-free scrub to prevent dry patches from absorbing excess colour. Follow with a tan eraser to lift any existing colour and finish with a lightweight lotion. FEEL YOUR WAY For novices, tanning mousse offers quick-drying colour with a built-in bronzer that guides you to an even finish. Once you’ve gained confidence, Tan-Luxe founder Marc Elrick suggests trying a clear formula, which is easier to formulate without that scent and even less likely to streak. GEAR UP Just as you use tools to give your foundation a flawless finish, your tan can also benefit: work a tanning mitt or brush across your skin in circular…

MY NUMBER ONE BEAUTY TIP is to amplify what you naturally have and be confident. To me, you can really tell when a woman feels beautiful because of her confidence. I DON’T HAVE A BEAUTY ICON, but my sisters [and Striiike business partners, makeup artist Jenn and brow artist Kristie] come pretty close… along with anyone who ages gracefully. MY SKIN IS SENSITIVE so I keep my AM routine minimal and clean. I love a gentle cleanser, antioxidant serum and then essence as a light moisturiser. I also get facials and extractions to keep the gunk out of my skin. AS I GET OLDER, I like a cleanlooking face with a bit of Kosas concealer, tinted moisturiser, a cream blush and my favourite Armani mascara. I DO VERY LITTLE TO…

It’s 1995, and in London’s Serpentine Gallery a performance piece titled “The Maybe” is taking place. Curious visitors surround a glass box to see a woman. She’s wearing dark jeans and a light-blue shirt, her red hair is splayed on her white pillow, and her glasses have been placed beside her. The subtle rise and fall of her chest is the only indicator she’s asleep rather than dead, as the pallor of her skin might suggest. There is a magnetic allure to this woman in the glass box. For a week, thousands of visitors will snake through the gardens that surround the impressive 1930s building. They’re undeterred by a heavy downpour as they wait patiently for their chance to watch the art-house actor named Tilda Swinton lie completely still. Fast…

HOLIDAY STYLE: ZEN ESCAPE Be at one with nature in lush colours and rich prints.…

The original Chanel jacket was revolutionary. Crafted from tweed – a fabric usually reserved for men – and structured yet supple, it offered women freedom to move. More than 65 years later, the design remains as relevant as ever, re-imagined this season in dazzling hot pink. Fitting, really, given the hue has been dubbed the colour of women’s political protest in 2020. Viva la revolution!…

NICOLE BENTLEY Milk Beach, Sydney I feel so much warmth when I stare at this image. Moments like this are what life is all about. [Model] Rosie Tupper is a dear friend and we wanted to photograph her with daughter Mozes when she was lovely and chubby, so we planned a picnic in the New Year of 2018. It captures everything summer means to me: soaking in the sunshine, being with people we love, enjoying nature and having our feet grounded in the sand. EUGENE TAN Wylie’s Baths, Sydney Our ocean pools across Sydney remind me of a European summer, where finding a spot on a rock or concrete next to the sea is the number one priority. This image depicts summer to me, through the colours and the energy–Aussies…

“MY TOURING OUTFITS ARE LIKE A COSTUME. I’M BEING MYSELF, BUT AMPLIFIED” ISABELLA (IZZI) MANFREDI MUSICIAN “When you perform with Harry Styles, you’ve got to step it up in the fashion stakes,” deadpans izzi Manfredi. The frontwoman of indie-rock band The Preatures bought this three-piece Christian Dior look–leather playsuit, crisp shirt and stiletto cowboy boots–to support the megastar on his 2018 Australian tour. “I had a lot of outfits but I wanted something really special,” she recalls. “And it was: I felt sexy, safe and supported. When I got on stage I could roll around and throw my legs over my head if I needed to.” Following the shows with Styles–who Manfredi describes as “an absolute gentleman” and “consummate performer”–the playsuit braved 45 gigs on a regional tour, during which…

GIRL OF THE MOMENT Margaret QUALLEY Meet the latest Hollywood offspring to make her mark Margaret Qualley moves differently, and it’s paying off. She cut shapes as a model in the pages of Vanity Fair and on the runway for Chanel, then contorted and contracted in the viral Spike Jonze-directed Kenzo World perfume ad. Now, as an actor, she brings a certain poise to her roles. All are remnants of her original ambition of being a ballerina. “[As a dancer] I wanted to be perfect,” she tells marie claire. “I’ve discovered that with acting, the mistakes are the beautiful part–they are what’s exciting.” Qualley has quickly ascended Hollywood’s ranks, having already nabbed an Emmy nomination for her role in the mini-series Fosse/Verdon, and starred opposite heavyweights Brad Pitt and Leonardo…

1. HER NAME ISN’T ACTUALLY OLIVIA Her full name is Sarah Caroline Olivia Colman (nee Sinclair). Opting to use your middle name professionally is common among celebrities. Meghan Markle, for instance, was named Rachel, and Reese Witherspoon was named Laura Jeanne (yes, really). 2. SHE WORKED AS A CLEANER AFTER DROPPING OUT OF COLLEGE The Oscar winner was studying to be a primary school teacher when she quit and took up odd-jobs to survive. “I left the college, but stayed in the town,” she has said. “I worked as a cleaner… and that’s when I realised I didn’t want to be anything other than an actor.” 3. SHE ONCE BATTLED WIKIPEDIA When Colman discovered Wikipedia had aged her by eight years, she contacted the website using an alias–“I didn’t want…

ALI KITINAS, 18 Founder of Freedom Scrub and One Two Many marie claire: You were Australia’s youngest CEO. Tell us about founding your first business at 11. Ali Kitinas: My first business was called OTS Marketing, and it was a small social media agency. Being young and growing up on social media, I had a lot of my mum’s business colleagues asking me, “Can you help me with Instagram? I have no idea how to use it!” So I thought why not turn it into a business and help startups that don’t have a lot of money and can’t hire a bigger agency? mc: Then at 16 you became the founder and CEO of Freedom Scrub. What was your inspiration for the business? AK: Founding Freedom Scrub was a serendipitous…

BLUSHING BEAUTY The secret to glowing summer skin might not be the hard-hitting actives you’ve been slathering on, but rather comforting formulas that nourish skin throughout the day. From antioxidant-packed serums to plant-powered mists, keeping skin calm and well-hydrated creates a radiant canvas for barely there makeup, and keeps your barrier healthy and calm.…

Everyone knows by now that sexy bedhead has nothing to do with how well you slept, and effortless kinks are rarely that. The good news is that product formulators, colourists and hair stylists have been hard at work figuring out ways to take the sweat equity out of good hair days and ensure that our harshest season doesn’t get the better of your’do. According to Hollywood hair stylist and Hask ambassador Linda Flowers, get your daily haircare routine right and you’ll need fewer products and less hands-on styling, “because resilient hair has better style memory,” she says. This summer, we’re seeking wash-and-go cuts, easy-to-nail styles and blindingly glossy locks without trying (not much to ask). In our quest, we hit up the experts for their best lazy-girl hair hacks. We’re…

Spend a night in great accommodation and, if you’re interiors obsessed, you’ll need to capture every detail on the hotel-issued stationery. Ideas are everywhere, titillating the grey cells into an inspired state. Note how the rooms flow, and how there is a place for everything. The boutique-ier stays will utilise the minutia to connect you to your location. Cups of tea mean committing the loose leaf supplier and ceramicist to memory.

“I LIKE TO THINK I’VE INHERITED MY MOTHER’S ENERGY AND OPTIMISM”–Ronni Kahn SYLVIA HELLMANN Everyone loved my mother, Sylvia. She was energetic, always positive and very down-to-earth. I grew up in South Africa, and my mother was a marvellous cook; she would make sugar biscuits, apricot chicken and asparagus pies. When my dad was in a car accident–a head-on collision that broke every bone in his body–my mum started selling cakes to pay the bills. She would bake 250 cakes a week, with two Mixmasters and one big oven. Our house forever smelt like vanilla essence. What is amazing is that I never remember seeing my mother in despair or suffering during that difficult time after my father’s accident. I only remember her warmth, her smile, her beautiful energy and…
