Miranda Tapsell’s grandmother was born under a tree outside Darwin High School. At that point in time, that plot of land was a meat works. It was while working at the abattoir that Tapsell’s heavily pregnant great-grandmother went into labour. She gave birth to her daughter there and then, under the shade of the tree that still stands today. In June, Tapsell plans to take her baby daughter, Grace, to her ancestral land to introduce her to her extended family, immerse her in their culture, and show her the tree outside Darwin High. The 34-year-old Sydney-based actor grew up in Jabiru in Kakadu National Park, where her mum, Barbara, worked at the local school and her dad, Tony, was the town clerk. It will be something of a homecoming for…

VINTAGE TIP Never skip the menswear section – oversized suiting is all the rage (and great fashion is rarely binary). VINTAGE TIP Fromslipstosilk tops and sheer skirts, use vintage lingerie to soften everyday pieces VINTAGE TIP Long-lasting leather – whether in rock-god biker jackets or sleek separates – is a seconds sure thing. It ages well and stands the test of time. VINTAGE TIP The resale market for luxewear is huge, as the Oroton blazer and Loewe jeans here attest. Designer brands at a fraction of the price, and made to wear forever. VINTAGE TIP Scourtheracks for the bright and colourful – that’s where the big-brand surprises often lurk VINTAGE TIP Denim is a great starting point for those new to the second-hand market. Look out for trusted brands, such…

Perfume is perhaps the most personal decision in the beauty world. Guerlain L’Art & La Matière is a new collection of eight haute parfums, which elevate fragrance to the realm of art, with precise blends of fine raw materials. Take Rose Chérie, a delicate and fresh approach to rose, thanks to notes of raspberry and violet. It smells like love might if it were bottled. Where this collection gets really personal is with the choices at cart. You can select your own embossed plate on the perfume stopper, your own colour cord and seal, and you can have the bottle engraved to make it truly yours. Available exclusively at David Jones.…

The guide to understanding the sustainable values your favourite beauty brands hold. ANIMAL TESTING This means your product has not been tested on any animals. WHAT GOES AROUND While this is the most universal recycling symbol, it may mean that only some, not all, of the packaging is recyclable. TRUST IN ME Ensures the company has reduced its carbon waste in its production of the product. B IS FOR BETTER This is an impressively ethical tick for a beauty brand, as it tells consumers the company has met a superior level of environmental and social standards.…

Ensure your beauty trash becomes another kind of treasure CLEAN UP There’s confusion about how clean containers need to be for recycling, as some places won’t reuse or repurpose anything that hasn’t been rinsed. Play it safe and give everything a decent wash. FOLLOW THE LEADER If you don’t see a recycling symbol on your beauty product, the go to program is TerraCycle. You can sign-up for a free TerraCycle account, download a postage label, and send your empty packaging away to be processed. Or simply drop empty products off (regardless of brand) in stores that have partnered with TerraCycle, including L’Occitane, The Body Shop, David Jones and Mecca. KEEP IT REAL Not everything can be recycled. Small products (under 5cm) often can’t be recycled, including most shampoo caps, lipstick…

ORIBE Widely considered an admirable quality, resilience has now been bottled for the benefit of our hair. Oribe’s new Resilience range is designed to prevent breakage by strengthening strands from the inside with a blend of chia seed, plant-based protein, biofermented bamboo leaf and hyaluronic acid. Shown to also make locks more elastic, the end result is a longer, healthier, fuller mane. BLOOMING LOVELY I’m just going to say it: sometimes bigger really is better. It’s certainly true for this rose-petal steeped, alcoholfree toner. Use it to wipe away any last grime post-cleanse, or (as I do) as a first step to help boost hydration levels. Usually give Mum roses on Mother’s Day? This could be an ideal gift switch this year. LIP LOVE My checklist for a lipstick goes…

CALM IN THE AIR Think pure, white thoughts, and texture and volume too. It seems we’re still feeling the effects of two uncertain years, meaning calm is utterly in fashion. In the 1960s, Balenciaga and Givenchy changed the game, with strong, clean silhouettes replacing ornamental dressing. This sensibility was picked up again in the ’90s. These days, shapely forms and neutrals evoke serenity. At home, stone and linen give this trend soul. FASHION HOUSES PIVOT HOME Not long ago, the prime positions at the Milan, Miami and London design weeks were reserved for B&B Italia, &Tradition and Moooi. Now, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Dior and Gucci are playing in this space. In Miami, Louis Vuitton set the pace, collaborating with the biggest names in design (including Patricia Urquiola, Marcel Wanders and…

From Bondi to Barcelona and Los Angeles’ Venice Beach, a fashionable tribe are emerging from the ocean. Board-rider fit and dressed for comfort, if they see the sunrise it’s a result of rising early, not staying out late. And above all they share a deep connection to nature. As of this month, these are Emporio Armani’s people. With their new Sustainable Selection collection for spring/summer 2022, the chic Italians are wading into surf-brand territory with a capsule of sportswear steeped in surfer-dude touchpoints. Emporio Armani Surfer includes both women’s and men’s collections, with oversized fits, bright colours and psychedelic prints heralding a new, endless summer mood – minus the global warming connotations. In fact, the collection is one of the label’s most sustainable to date. This from a group that…

USA Standing TALL The Smithsonian now houses the largest collection of statues of women ever assembled Take a walking tour through the statues of any major city and you will be hard-pressed to find many women immortalised in bronze or marble. While history was busy paying tribute to the achievements of old white men, the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC has built an army of 120 innovators and scientists. The life-size orange statues that make up the #IfThenSheCan exhibit include Dr Jessica Nicole Esquivel, one of only 150 Black women in the US with a PhD in physics; Dr Monica Rho, of the US Women’s Soccer Team; and Karina Popovich, a college student who engineered more than 82,000 pieces of 3D-printed PPE for healthcare workers in the early days of…

KATE STROUD ARTIST, 35 I was in my home when I realised the severity of what was about to happen. I received a message from a friend saying, “My love, it’s going to come inside your house. Charge your devices, pack a backpack with water, snacks. Sorry to sound scary. I love you.” There was no sleep that night. We walked around in circles not knowing what to do, what to save, saying goodbye to our home, our life as we knew it. The carpet came alive underfoot, pushing our footsteps in waves across the room, tumbling furniture into the brown dark liquid under darkness. Dawn broke slowly. Something was moving just beyond the house, a cow four times my size washed up to our verandah railing. The panic in…

Of all the courses I had to take at the start of my media career more than 20 years ago, one was easily my favourite. It was a course where we were taught to never take ownership of another person’s feelings. “I’m sorry you choose to feel that way,” I repeated after the teacher over and again. If someone chose to feel upset by something I’d said, written or done, well, it was on them. Between you and me, I learnt the spiel but as a committed empath and chronic apologiser I’ve simply never been able to utter it to anyone. SORRY, NOT SORRY THE CHALLENGE Dilvin Yasa fights the urge to apologise I realise there are a slew of studies that show that over-apologisers tend to have lower self-esteem…

If you watched Seaspiracy, you’ll know our oceans are under major threat from human waste and pollution. So invest in brands dedicated to helping save them. BIOSSANCE Many skincare products used to contain squalene, a hydrating ingredient harvested from shark livers. Biossance pioneered a way to produce it from sugarcane. It’s in all their formulas and they sell it to others too, sharing the love and saving millions of sharks each year.

The packaging is used in their Atlantic Kelp & Magnesium body range. ENDOTA We’ve known for a while that the UV filters in sunscreen harm sea life, including on our reefs. So, keep an…

NATURAL MUM The mother who is conscious of her lifestyle footprint or just likes to keep things natural, will fall for clean and beautifully sustainable skin and body care products like these. ROMANTIC MUM What mum doesn’t love a bit of pretty femininity on Mother’s Day? From a floral-scented fragrance to honey-infused haircare, these make for heavenly gifts. ATHLETIC MUM Whether she is working out or running after the kids, this mum is always on the go. Gifts of skin-clarifying body wash, natural deodorant and supplements will keep her looking good on the move. LUXE MUM Instead of a bunch of roses, why not give Mum florals in a face cream or infused into luxurious scents? Or treat her with decadent face and body products, and makeup with that satisfying,…

MY FIRST MEMORY OF BEAUTY is watching my mum put on her makeup to go out and being fascinated by it. The first time I ever wore makeup is when I would draw a cat nose and whiskers on my face in lipstick and, yes, I still do that to this day, usually on my birthday. I LOVE BEING PART OF THE DIOR FAMILY, it is so rooted in tradition and yet always innovating. It feels incredible to be that close to history, but if you look back at even the earliest collection from Mr Dior in 1947 it is so modern and I just feel that every designer who has come to the House of Dior, including Maria Grazia Chiuri, has brought in a lot of freshness. I feel very,…

INTERIOR STYLE Our home has a beach-bohemian vibe, with lots of rattan, linen and a big Moroccaninspired rug. It’s homely and livable. With two toddlers underfoot, everything is affordable and durable, and if something ends up with Texta on it, well, we aren’t devastated. Tigmi Trading rug, $6590.

DORIS DAY I grew up watching Doris. My mum and I were home alone a lot … and she would watch black-and-white movies on weekends in Murgon [Queensland], as there’s not much to do in the bush. I looked at Doris and saw the singing and the dancing and immediately knew that’s what I wanted to do. I’d stand in front of the mirror in my room and repeat what I’d seen her do, while pretending there were millions of people watching me through my mirror. As I got older and began to research her, I realised what an extraordinary woman Doris was. She was holding her own in the male-led golden era of Hollywood. She always stood up for herself and her films were successful. The first time I…

CARTIER From its jaw-dropping gems to the showstopping timepieces, the famed “jeweller of kings” can count generations of royalty and A-listers as devotees of its iconic treasures. BVLGARI For statement pieces with glamorous gemstones in iconic designs, the Italian high jeweller promises a forever piece for everyone. DIOR Visionary designer Christian Dior believed your jewellery is just as important as your clothes, which is why the French house’s famed fine jewellery line is both wearable and timeless. SAINT LAURENT Anthony Vaccarello has mastered the art of designing oversized pieces that can stand alone as sculptural show-stoppers or work in layers with fine chains. Something for everyone. LOUIS VUITTON Aficionados take note: the maison’s evolving LV Volt collection – combining the brand’s initials into lightning bolts and strong graphics – is…

When the Omega Constellation watch was first launched in 1952, it was an instant game changer. The stylish timepiece was the Swiss watchmaker’s first ever mass-produced wristwatch with Swiss-certified chronometer mechanics. With unparalleled precision and a distinct design, the timepiece quickly garnered a huge following. Fast forward 70 years and the Constellation is now one of Omega’s longest-running collections, and it remains one of its most popular. There have been multiple facelifts in between, however, with today’s classic fifth-generation styles finding a new-gen fan base. The most recent makeover has resulted in a more modernised style, boasting elevated, feminine touches and a sleeker feel. This is evident from the thinner Roman numerals to the more slimline hands, the vibrant range of dial colours and – of course – those…

When I was a teenager, I found a 1940s fur coat in an op shop. I had no idea what animal it came from (a dark brown one) – but I knew what kind of animal I felt like when I wore it: a Lesser Spotted Fabulous. With its dramatic big square shoulders it was a little bit Biba, a little bit Sunset Boulevard and a lot rock’n’roll. Also very cosy. It did a great job of keeping me warm at bus stops right through the British winter. I loved that coat and wore it with jeans, boots, sunglasses and big felt hats. I threw it over dresses with heels. It made everything groovy. Then one day I woke up in my bedroom in the family house and the first…

It’s 3am on a Monday when I’m woken by a sharp ping on my phone. “A seller has made you an offer” flashes a notification, as an original Dior Saddle bag I appears on my screen. It’s the kidneyshaped cult purse of the new millennium, a relic of fashion history designed under John Galliano and slung by the likes of Sienna Miller and Carrie Bradshaw in the early aughts. And today, a vintage reseller – Nicolo in Italy, no less – wants to sell me one for $875 (a modern re-issue of the design would set me back $5500). In a Covid-induced fog, where television sends me dizzy and books strain my brain, the Vestiaire Collective shopping app has become my happy place. It’s a digital market for preloved luxury…

Laid up in a hospital bed after suffering serious injuries in a fall, Helen (not her real name) was in agony but could only think about money. After three L operations, it was clear the 68-year-old would have an ongoing disability, and it threatened her working future. Though past retirement age, Helen, a widow who was working in education, was worried that her life savings would not be able to sustain her in the years ahead, or to provide a decent inheritance for her adult children. But a phone call from her financial adviser put her fretting mind to rest. Helen had invested her superannuation with Maliver, a boutique financial services company in Sydney, whose owner seemed to be something of a stock-market savant. Always immaculately groomed and smiling, Melissa…

This actor on the rise refuses to be pigeonholed If there’s one thing you should know about Sadie Sink, it’s that you don’t really know her at all. “There’s a lot more to me than what people think,” the 20-year-old reveals from her family home in New Jersey, USA. “We’re in this weird day and age where you feel like you know celebrities or actors, but you really have no idea who they are.” So who is the elusive star behind Netflix’s hit sci-fi series Stranger Things? Well, she’s a bit of all of us. “I don’t really like leaving the house,” she says. “Right now, I’m rewatching Grey’s Anatomy; it’s taking up a lot of my time.” Capturing the complexities of young female characters is a conscious decision for…

The film has an original take on the female dating perspective; how did the experiences captured in Fresh resonate with you? Daisy Edgar-Jones The film exposed the difficult nature of contemporary dating and how we kind of shop for each other by swiping on an app and hoping that someone is going to be as nice as they seem on their profile. It’s always a gamble – you never know who you’re going to get [and] that was something I liked in the script. [Although] the film takes it to the absolute extreme. Sebastian, two of your most recent roles in both Pam & Tommy and Fresh examine the commodification of the female body. What has been the biggest learning for you in being part of these stories? Sebastian Stan…

Sustainable beautyproduct packaging used to feel like a pipe-dream, especially for luxury formulas. But more and more brands are now responding to consumers’ calls to reduce waste by launching products with the option to refill the original (very nice-looking) container. Not only does this benefit the planet by reducing our personal environmental footprints but, handily, the refill is less expensive than the original product. Win-win. Here are five refillables well worth the investment. 1 L’OCCITANE Almond Shower Oil, $65 Transforms into a nourishing milky formula when it hits damp skin, leaving your body clean and super hydrated. 2 CHANEL N°1 De Chanel Revitalizing Cream, $165 Boasts science-backed, naturally derived red-camellia extract, which leaves skin feeling soft and looking radiant. 3 YVES SAINT LAURENT Pure Shots Night Reboot Serum, $123 This…

MIND THE SPLIT You can usually spot split ends with the naked eye, but another sign the strands are starting to fray is that your hair is tangling more easily. The fix is simple: get a trim every two months, says stylist Ali Holmes of Wild Life SoGo in Sydney’s Surry Hills. And while most stylists will insist there’s no substitute for a snip, there are polymer-packed serums that can fill and mend ends until you can get to the salon.
