The hallowed house of Chanel is renowned for its ability to reinvent and repurpose. Former design maestro Karl Lagerfeld was celebrated for his influential recalibrations of some of Chanel’s greatest original hits. And now, with so many instantly recognisable house codes to choose from, it’s no surprise that artistic director Virginie Viard is often most inspired by, well, Chanel. Case in point: last October’s spring/summer collection was an ode to some of the label’s most distinct offerings, circa 1990s – from the pastel tweeds to the iconic chain belts and even the simple white swimsuits with black trim. One of the standouts from the show was a new accessory that nodded to some of the house’s most familiar signatures. The Chanel 22 bag – an oversized leather carryall – boasts…

ARGENTINA CUTTING CLASS The start of a new school year is usually marked by the smell of freshly polished shoes, lastminute panic and questionable haircuts. But when the Covid-19 pandemic caused countrywide school closures across Argentina, 12-year-old Antonella Bordon refused to cut her locks until in-person classes resumed. According to a UNICEF report, about 10.5 million students in Argentina alone experienced disruptions to their education. A lack of access to the internet, technology and parents equipped to provide homeschooling meant the lockdowns further disrupted an education system already suffering from structural problems and economic disparity. “When I finally go back to school they will know I’m a different person. I feel like a different person,” says Antonella of her protest. After more than a year of letting her hair down,…

Sitting inside her caravan home in a holiday park in Ballina, New South Wales, single mum Lauren looks at her daughter and beams. Three-year-old Freya is watching the children’s television series Gabby’s Dollhouse on her mum’s laptop, a rare treat for a girl who has no television, and she’s soaking up every minute. The pair have been living in the borrowed caravan since the recent flooding of Lismore saw water slosh over the balcony of their second-storey apartment, nearly drowning them. The caravan holds a bed, a little couch with a table for meals, a bar fridge that can hold up to two days’ worth of food and a microwave. It’s small, says Lauren, but it’s a home. Among the many drawbacks of their new accommodation are the nights’ coldness,…

Since February this year, PJ Masten’s Facebook inbox has been filled with death threats. “ ‘You’re a piece of shit. You’re a liar. You’re a fuck this and fuck that,’ ” she says, repeating some of the messages she’s received. Masten is no stranger to public attacks. In 2014, she alleged she had once been drugged and raped by Bill Cosby – a claim later echoed by dozens of women. But speaking out against the late nude-magazine founder Hugh Hefner has roused far more vitriol, Masten says. Not only for tarring the reputation of a beloved public figure, but for breaking ranks with a tightknit community: Playboy itself. “It’s all from Bunnies,” says Masten, referring to the waitresses whose uniforms at the once-famous Playboy Clubs paid homage to the company’s…

GIRLS OF THE MOMENT Maisie Williams What the 25-year-old Game of Thrones actor did next After playing out her teenage years as Arya Stark in the hit series Game of Thrones, you’d forgive Maisie Williams for wanting an early retirement. But Williams has made a glorious return to the screen: riding her bike through the suburban streets of England while completely topless. No, this wasn’t a classic case of child actor rebellion, but a scene from her latest project, Pistol. “I felt very comfortable and turned a lot of heads,” says Williams, who plays punk icon Jordan (aka Pamela Rooke) in Danny Boyle’s retelling of the pioneers behind the Sex Pistols. “I could tell that other people didn’t know where to look, which made me smile. [I felt] very empowered.” Transitioning…

SEE MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL As Baz Luhrmann’s original film turns 21, the stage adaptation of Moulin Rouge! heads to Sydney’s Capitol Theatre. While remaining true to the storyline and delivering one hell of a rendition of “Lady Marmalade”, along with other nostalgic hits, this is the closest you’ll get to a night out in Paris without the 24-hour flight. Opens May 28; ticketmaster.com.au. LISTEN HARRY STYLES, HARRY’S HOUSE The man of the moment kicked off a new era with last month’s hit, “As It Was”. Boasting two number-one albums, sold out world tours and a growing film career, it’s clear that Styles has eclipsed his former One Direction bandmates and forged a perhaps even more successful career as a solo artist. Available to download, stream and buy from May…

We have all been schooled on the health benefits of ingesting probiotics. But probiotics can deliver benefits when applied directly on the skin, too, including that wish-list topper: a beautiful glowing complexion. More and more, scientists are discovering the importance of a perfectly balanced microbiome, which is the ecosystem of tiny bacteria living on our skin. In a world obsessed with germs, bacteria might sound like a bad word. But gone are the days when we wanted to get skin so clean it squeaked. Now the aim is to keep our unique micro-organisms flourishing. And one of the best ways to tick this off the to-do list is with a topical dose of probiotics. It is a key learning that luxe skincare brand Lancôme knows well. Its star serum, Advanced…

SHARE, BABY I’m all for the guys getting in on covetable beauty products. Plus, sharing with your man saves on precious bathroom space (and luggage weight, now we can travel again). This yummy unisex perfume from Australian brand SŚaint features naturally derived botanicals (think bergamot, cardamom and myrrh oils) making its richly woody amber notes all the more seductive. SOFT AS Feeling rough around the edges? Get to work with these glycolic pads by Peter Thomas Roth. With super doses of glycolic acid (20 per cent) and 1.5 per cent time-release retinol, these daily pads give dull skin a boost in brightness, as well as greater smoothness and a more even finish. I’m using a single pad on the backs of arms, knees and (er) butt for softer skin. LUXE…

Anyone who has ever doubted the gravity of fashion hasn’t met Camilla Freeman-Topper, a woman determined to wield her trendsetting style for good. “Fashion has the power to drive change,” says the creative director and co-founder of Camilla and Marc. “It’s a conversation starter on the street and around the dinner table, a means of expression, enabling all walks of life to take part.” She says this to me from her home in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, where she is making a literal fashion statement in relaxed-yet-polished emerald pants and a limited-edition Camilla and Marc “Ovaries. Talk About Them” T-shirt. Our chat takes place in the lead up to the brand’s third annual ovarian cancer fundraising campaign. So far, the proceeds have amassed $544,000, with the goal to get…

Back in early 2000, I attended the packed media launch of the Sydney Olympics as a young reporter. The room was electric with excitement as we waited to hear about the world’s biggest sporting event finally on our shores. Suddenly, the door flung open and in swept the impeccably glamorous publicity chief, an army of assistants streaming in her wake. She proceeded to calm, charm and command the crowd, regaling us with spectacular tales of what lay ahead. Her name was Glen-Marie Frost, Australia’s then-queen of public relations and jewel of Sydney’s sparkling social scene. She lived in a Bellevue Hill mansion, had a Rolodex of powerful friends and managed her own thriving global PR company. Glen-Marie made a huge impression on me back then, and I remember thinking I’d…

Heralded as one of the most important artists of the last century, jewellery designer Jean Schlumberger rose to fame through his long partnership with Tiffany & Co., which began in 1956. Renowned for his stunning originality, nature-inspired designs and use of bold gemstones, “Schlum” also revitalised the intricate 19th-century art of paillonné enamelling, creating visionary bracelets adored by many A-listers of the day. In fact, America’s First Lady in the early ’60s, Jacqueline Kennedy, wore hers so often the press nicknamed them “Jackie bracelets” and it stuck. Schlumberger’s signature arm candy remains iconic today. His enduring legacy is best summed up by legendary fashion editor Diana Vreeland, who quipped, “a Schlumberger lights up a whole room!”…

One year after Australian women including Grace Tame, Chanel Contos and Brittany Higgins started a national conversation on sexual assault, voters are weighing up a change in government. It’s a powerful reminder that it is everyday people who ultimately decide the fate of our nation. And sometimes they even start conversations that cannot be contained and quashed by politicians. One year after Australian It’s easy to be disappointed, disillusioned and disengaged from politics. But it would also be a mistake. Change won’t arrive if women don’t stand up to have their say. Hard-fought reforms in Australia – including changes to allow the importation of the abortion drug RU486 – only came about because women across the party divide plotted together. If it had been left to the blokes, it may…

She was the Dolly cover girl everyone wanted to be. Golden-skinned and sparkly eyed, Alison Brahe was as well known as Elle Macpherson – but somehow more relatable. Looking back, it was clearly her smile. Wide, natural and occasionally cheeky, it made you believe that if you couldn’t actually be her, you could at least be her friend. But what no-one knew – even those she loved most – was that behind the relaxed summer-girl image, she was grappling with a horrific secret, one that she is only now ready to share. What happened occurred nearly 35 years ago, a few years before she married the nation’s most eligible bachelor, television host Cameron Daddo (in December 1991). It was before children, before moving to America and becoming the teacher’s assistant…

It was the skirt of the season. If you could call it a skirt. Pleated, dangerously low-slung and precariously truncated within millimetres of impropriety, that viral Miu Miu miniskirt requires about as much introduction as the coverage it offers: little to none. Debuting on Miu Miu’s spring/summer 2022 catwalk in Paris last October, the micro lengths of said skirt and its pseudo-collegiate, ab-baring, cable-knit, crop-top combo sent showgoers into a frenzy. The smartphone camera tap heard around the Palais d’Iéna show space was soon heard around the world, multiplying into double taps that echoed throughout the channels of social media. Editorials soon followed and the skirt was seen on actors Nicole Kidman, Emma Corrin and Zendaya, models Paloma Elsesser, Lara Stone and Emily Ratajkowski, rapper Saweetie and activist Maxim Magnus, defying…

Claire Rosinkranz Born to a musician father and with an opera singer grandmother, this Californian singer has music running through her veins. She’s best known for her lo-fi sound, including her song “Backyard Boy”, which went viral on TikTok. Hoodzy Winner of Triple J’s Unearthed competition in 2019, this Aussie rap artist describes herself as “young, female, gay, brown skin and chasing the same dream even if the odds are against me”. Don’t miss her perform her hit song “Showtime” at the Northern Broadwalk at the Sydney Opera House in June.

“SINCE 2020 WE’VE DIVERTED MORE THAN 4.5 MILLION TEXTILES FROM LANDFILL”– Tina Elias THE PASSION PROJECT TINA ELIAS, FOUNDER OF UPPAREL “When I was at home looking after our nine-month-old baby, my husband Michael was working at one of the big four banks. He would wear these fun, quirky socks to work that were a huge conversation starter. I was bored at home, so I decided to launch a sock brand. We had tens of thousands of subscribers, and delivered to more than 70 countries. Michael eventually left his bank job to work with me full-time. One day he was clearing out his sock drawer and said, ‘Where should I put these?’ We realised that you can’t send second-hand socks to charity because they’re worn and you [shouldn’t] put them…

STANDOUT CURLS To celebrate Beatrys’ and Sadie’s natural curls, “we really worked with the natural texture of their hair,” says Sheree Knobel, leading colourist and ambassador for Redken. She allowed the hair to dry naturally, then enlisteded a small-barrelled tong. “It helped to get those beautiful ringlets and make the curls look full,” she said. Product isn’t strictly necessary for this look, but Knobel addedded shine spray at the end. PIECEY TEXTURE “You want to lift and elevate the hair at the roots without curling the hair,” advises Gorgievski. To give hair grit and substance, she used a diffuser to blow-dry in Redken Fashion Waves 07 texturising spray. Then for the fringe, she worked in a few layers of dry texture spray (her choice was Redken’s new Pillow Proof), to…

There is something so harmonious about the sound of buzzing bees outdoors on a warm day. It plays into that innate sense that everything is OK with the world. Responsible for the pollination of countless fruits, flowers and seeds, bees are the linchpin for the survival of billions of living things on the planet. In fact, they are so fundamental to the circle of life, they have been given their own World Bee Day. Celebrated across the globe on May 20, this seems the perfect moment to pay respect to the insect that gives us so much in terms of life, colour, fragrance, taste and, yes, many of the botanical ingredients in our favourite beauty products. World Bee Day also serves another purpose: to highlight the dire issues facing bees…

GABRIELLE KEOGH My mum was a high school teacher. She taught literature and English history and she was really great at her job. Although I didn’t go to her school, as her son I still benefited from her talents. When I would write my essays and struggled to find the right words, Mum would dictate such clear, powerful, beautiful sentences. They were absolute gold. I definitely inherited a love of language and having that emotional response to music and books from her. During my career she has helped me write and come up with some of the most important and best lines in my songs. Months before I wrote my song ‘Fire and the Flood’, Mum had an idea. She said, “Everything is fine when your head is resting next…

Picture a cosy chalet in the French Alps. There’s a roaring fire, boardgames and hot beverages. The family inside is convivial, and woven as closely as the plaid blankets draped over them. Now, what are they wearing? This is the question Longchamp artistic director Sophie Delafontaine asked while designing Longchamp’s autumn/winter 2022-23 collection. If the family in her scenario is anything like her own, the answer – in a broader sense – is Longchamp. Her grandfather Jean Cassegrain launched the label in 1948. Today, her elder brother – also named Jean Cassegrain – is the CEO, her younger bother Olivier Cassegrain is the director of boutiques in the United States and Delafontaine, of course, holds the creative reins. Under her watch, the label’s people are sporty, chic and more sophisticated…

“When I started acting, I wanted to do action movies, but those roles were always for men” Elsa Pataky’s voice is crackling and muffled down the phone. The Spanish native has driven her car to an area near her home in Byron Bay, where she’s able to get a tiny shred of phone reception for our interview. It’s no easy feat thanks to the power outages and general service disruption caused by the devastating floods and punishing rainfall around the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales earlier this year. “Hopefully it will stop soon, because I don’t think people can take much more,” says the model and actor, who moved to the area in 2014 with her husband, action star Chris Hemsworth, daughter India, now 10, and twin boys…

We are living in a very different world from the one that existed pre-pandemic. And much of it is good. One defining shift is that we are more focused on healthy glowing skin rather than unattainable youth – skin that looks lit-from-within on Zoom or IRL. More good news: we are seeking skin tech and beauty experts more than ever before too. But we don’t (or can’t) always visit a bricks-and-mortar store or clinic, so virtual innovation is picking up the slack (Lancôme opened a virtual flagship store last year, complete with real-time skin analysis), while take-home tech and cutting-edge formulas are giving us real results. Welcome to the future. INCLUSIVE BEAUTY The beauty world is being democratised thanks to new and niche brands reframing traditional concepts and offering up…

“Beauty comes in many forms. Working hard to achieve your goals can be a thing of beauty” I WOULD SAY I’M VERY RESILIENT and this has helped me throughout my career. I have always seen Dior as a brand that strives for excellence. I have grown up having high standards for myself, so I think we share similar goals in that sense. There is also an emphasis on joy and happiness at Dior. I try to have fun with most things I do, so for me it’s a great fit. I FIND SUN AND SLEEP THE BEST FOR MY SKIN AND GENERAL WELLNESS.

THERE’S A UNIQUE TEXTURE OF POWDER DUSTING THE MOUNTAIN THAT’S KNOWN AS “CHAMPAGNE SNOW” DESTINATION STEAMBOAT, Colorado At Steamboat Ski Resort, there is a unique texture of powder dusting the mountain known as “champagne snow”. The low water content – at just six per cent – makes the snow effervescent and fluffy, laying the foundations for grand cru ski conditions. With a gondola ferrying skiers and snowboarders from the base to mid-mountain, 18 lifts and 165 trails, there are endless adventures to be had. Lodgings include luxurious ski-in, ski-out homes with fireplaces and hot tubs, such as Ski Trail Lodge, or try the homes at One Steamboat Place. There are also simpler accommodations for those more focused on the action. At the base of the mountain, the Steamboat Mountain Village…

Like the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster, Judy Garland’s life was punctuated by dizzying highs and brutal blows. At 13, she signed a coveted contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) films. Then her father died. At 16, she won a juvenile Oscar for roles that included Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. But behind the scenes, film executives called her “little hunchback” due to her height (150cm), criticised her weight and forced her on a diet of amphetamine-based weight-loss pills and barbiturates to control sleep. At 19, she married composer David Rose in a flurry of young love, only to divorce him three years later after she was pushed to get an abortion. For Garland, every win came at a cost. Every moment of joy was marred by an undercurrent of darkness.…
