A few years ago, the good folk at the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair (DAAF) Foundation contacted us out of the blue with an idea. Forever searching for ways to promote First Nations artists and designers, they wanted to launch an Indigenous fashion awards to showcase their extraordinary talent. We leapt at the chance to become a media partner, and six months later the National Indigenous Fashion Awards (NIFA) staged its inaugural event amid the start of the pandemic. Fast forward to now, and not only has the NIFA just held its third awards, we’re also witnessing the long-overdue explosion of Indigenous fashion, with First Nations designers starring on runways and in retail outlets across Australia. “The growing visibility of Indigenous fashion in this country has been incredible to see, and…

Refined or rebellious? Polished or punk? Elegant or eclectic? Those are the questions posed by French jeweller Cartier in its new collection, Clash de Cartier. The mash-up of classic and cool sees brilliant-cut diamonds and Tahiti pearls mingle with spiky studs and black onyx beads. Think jagged textures toughening up smooth sculptural shapes. British-American actor Lily Collins, star of Emily in Paris, fronts the campaign. In one look she teams her black nails and blunt fringe with a bold rose-gold necklace; in another, the matching rings and earrings take on a softer meaning when paired with a sophisticated evening gown. The line’s simply striking aesthetic conceals a complexity of design that draws on generations of history and savoir faire. Picot studs, for example, are a recurring feature; their conical shape…

The 22nd day of the second month of 2022 had an air of fortuity about it, but for Jessica Van Nooten it started like any ordinary day. The Melbourne-based chef went to work, came home and did some laundry. She was folding washing when she received a spine-chilling WhatsApp message. “Hello, your baby has been born unexpectedly,” it read. “She’s alive for the moment.” Fifteen-thousand kilometres away in the Black Sea port city of Odessa, Ukraine, Van Nooten’s baby girl had been birthed by a surrogate mother. She’d come into the world 11 weeks early, weighing just 1450 grams. Her arrival marked the end of Van Nooten and her husband’s seven-year struggle to have a baby, but the start of another tumultuous journey. “Kevin [Middleton] and I got together 20…

“IN THAT MOMENT IT FELT LIKE WE WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD” The tradition started in 2013. I’d met – and fallen in love with – Alex “Chumpy” Pullin a couple of months earlier at a friend’s birthday party, and we were spending our first New Year’s Day together as a couple. We trekked up to Barrenjoey Lighthouse, overlooking Palm Beach on Sydney’s northern beaches, with a bottle of champagne, snacks, a picnic blanket and Chumpy’s guitar. We found a flat rock on the edge of the cliff with the most epic views of the coast, and it became “our rock”. I sat behind Chumpy and wrapped my legs around his waist, like a little koala cuddling a eucalyptus tree. Chumpy strummed his guitar and I looked out…

Don’t Worry Darling Off-camera dramas have overshadowed this ensemble cast thriller and the reviews haven’t been kind. You still need to see it for yourself; go for Harry, stay for Florence Pugh and enjoy director Olivia Wilde’s ride. In cinemas now. My Policeman Styles stars alongside Emma Corrin and David Dawson in this poignant story of forbidden love in 1950s Britain. According to critics, there could be an Oscar nomination in Harry’s future. Out November 4 on Prime Video. Love on Tour It might be three years later than expected, but Harry Styles is finally bringing his world tour to Australia next February – and there’s a whole new album of killer songs to make up for it. Tickets available at ticketmaster.com.au.…

Which of your film projects has meant the most to you and why? I was very lucky to be part of Hidden Figures. I understood the influence when it came to representation for young Black girls across the nation who were passionate about STEM. What drew you to the role of Hawkman in the DC superhero film Black Adam? The opportunity for impact. Being able to step into the superhero shoes knowing what it would mean to little kids. Black Adam services that – not just through ethnic representation – but through a cultural conversation. Who were your superheroes (real or fictional) growing up and who are they now? My mum is my number one superhero. She’s been through a lot – she was a marine, so she taught me…

There is nothing better than a traditional facial at the hands of a professional. But even the highly skilled are enlisting tech into their traditional treatments. If you haven’t had a beauty appointment lately, you might be surprised how different things look. Suddenly there is a machine to help solve every issue. Like being onboard the Axium (on the classic Pixar flick WALL-E), there is a tech solution to counteract everything from jowls and a slackened tummy, to tricky skin issues such as acne and rosacea. We round up the latest treatments that have won us over (and made us look just that much better). TIGHTENING & LIFTING MATRIX PDO THREADS WHAT IT IS Very fine PDO threads are inserted into the skin to form a mesh-like pattern, which acts…

Keeping your colour looking its best every day may seem like an unachievable goal, especially when summer hits. But experts say that glossy hair right around the clock is achievable with a mix of TLC, quality at-home products and know-how. DRY AND FRIZZY “If you aren’t giving hair enough hydration, it may start to feel dry or frizzy,” says Jamie Furlan, co-owner of LNDN Hair in Melbourne, Kérastase ambassador and AHFA 2020 Australian Hairdresser of the Year. This is particularly an issue in summer when moving in and out of air-conditioning and spending days at the beach or in the pool. To keep unmanageable hair at bay, enlist hydrating products. TRY Kérastase Chroma Absolu Filler Hair Mask, $69. Dosed with amino acids, this restorer helps restore high shine to medium…

ACID DROP With the silly season around the corner, I am working on skin radiance. This newbie from Charlotte Tilbury is special because it’s acid-free, making it a good choice if your skin is sensitive to too many AHAs and BHAs. It’s dosed with niacinamide (a great skin calmer) as well as peptides to boost skin turnover. Prickly pear works as an acid stand-in, helping boost skin clarity and radiance, and although it exfoliates, it is gentle enough for daily use. JOIN THE A TEAM Vitamin A is the gold standard of anti-ageing, so I use it on my skin at least thrice weekly. Now I want to up my retinol routine with this intensive treatment. Its vitamin A is matched with lactic, salicylic, glycolic and kojic acids to boost…

THE SNEAKER Combine retro cool with luxe logos for perfect kicks, like these from the iconic adidas x Gucci collab. THE SWIMSUIT Allow swimwear to play a starring role beyond the beach as worthy separates substitutes. COLOURED LEATHER Hot-hued leather, whether real or faux, will instantly elevate your look from average to A-list. THE PRINT Fashion favours the bold, especially when opulent prints look more like artworks, case in point: these shorts by Bassike. SILVER JEWELLERY Sun-kissed skin is the perfect canvas for statement pieces in lustrous metallic silver. THE POLKA DOT The forever fresh polka-dot print is a perennial classic, and it’s spot on right now.…

According to fashion folklore, in times of turmoil women turn to jewellery as their armour. It serves as a protective second skin, imbuing the wearer with confidence, strength and inner shine. Few pieces affirm this hypothesis better than the Bvlgari Serpenti, a seductive snake-like design first unveiled in the 1940s. Coiling sinuously around the neck, then down the décolletage and finished with piercing emerald eyes, it quickly became the ultimate power piece. In the early ’60s, it went pre-internet viral when starlet Elizabeth Taylor wrapped a diamond-encrusted Serpenti bracelet around her wrist on the film set of Cleopatra. Now, the collection undergoes a metamorphosis with the Serpenti Viper line. The glamour and dazzle are stripped back to reveal the simple yet sensual curves of six new creations: three bracelets and…

“FRIENDSHIP HAS TAUGHT ME THAT BELONGINGS ARE NO SUBSTITUTE FOR BELONGING” I met my best friend Dom when we were in second grade. I’ve always been a misfit and an oddball. At that time, I was also yet to be diagnosed with autism and ADHD. However, I survived with a sense of humour, which remains part of my armour. Dom (who is also autistic) got up to read a piece of creative writing. It was so brilliantly, absurdly original. And funny. I can still remember being thrown about by the uncontrollable force of my own laughter. Dom’s wildly wacky, unconventional inner world that shone through in his words was something that I felt paralleled my own curvilinear mind. It spoke to me and danced in me on a different level.…

Jen Glantz has been here before. She fires off a reassuring message to the bride to quell any pre-wedding jitters, before pulling back the doors of her wardrobe. Inside hangs an archive of more than 125 bridesmaid gowns that makes Katherine Heigl’s 27 Dresses look like child’s play. Nestled between swathes of silky peach and forest green hues, she retrieves a floor-length teal gown. From the cheesy bridal party rituals to the drunk uncle who refuses to vacate the dance floor, Glantz knows exactly how the day will play out. Although, while the rest of the wedding party spends the next morning nursing hangovers, Glantz is already reeling off details of the past 24 hours over brunch. Glantz is a fake friend. Not the back stabbing, steal-your-boyfriend kind, but a…

If you’re on TikTok, Peach PRC needs no introduction. The Adelaide-born singer has amassed 2 million followers and counting, and her natural flair for humour, combined with her honest and heartfelt confessions about her mental health, have struck a chord with music fans around the world. And it’s those attributes that have made the 25-year-old one of the most promising new talents on the Australian music scene. After she began posting her songs to social media, she was signed by Republic Records. It’s something the singer – born Sharlee Curnow – still can’t quite believe. “I had a vision board with the most ambitious goals – things I never thought were achievable – but I had to shoot for the stars,” she says. In 2021 Peach released her debut single,…

Nineties and noughties trends have had a major resurgence in popularity. What personal fashion moments stand out to you? Well, I don’t want to be all about me, but I’m gonna have to go with my Butterfly era. The “Honey” video in particular, which is interesting because that was the first video where I actually got to have fun and be myself. It was the first one I really enjoyed making. That was 1997, when I was born and from the womb. What is a look you feel is best left in the past? I think there are several but I will say this: I got robbed in terms of the “ripping off the top of the jeans” [look], because everybody did that. I was just like, “I hate these…

I DON’T BUY A LOT OF BEAUTY PRODUCTS. I tend to be monogamous about products, fragrance and skincare. Probably like a lot of women, I fear trying something new, not being certain and investing, and then having things you’re not going to use. The most recently integrated thing into that area of our home is RoC skincare. AS I’VE GOTTEN OLDER, I TEND TO EXPERIMENT LESS. I’m also overwhelmed by massive amounts of routines. I don’t devote a lot of space to product and makeup. I tend to not dabble. I DON’T WEAR A LOT OF MAKEUP. I never wear a base. I have concealer that’s very transparent. It shows skin. I’d rather show my skin, even in the least ideal circumstances, [like] if I have a blemish. I almost always…

Over the past few years, we have all been exposed to the reality of toxins on a whole new level. Invisible to the naked eye yet potentially able to damage our health, they have led many of us to become more aware of microbes, dust, smoke and chemicals in the environment. The issue is, what do we do about them? Traditionally, we have masked (no pun intended) the situation with scent. But adding new fragrances into a room doesn’t necessarily restore air to freshness. So how can we be sure that the air in our personal world is clear of toxins? Worrying incessantly won’t help, but detoxing our environment (and our skin for that matter) with a quick spritz or light of a candle might just do the trick. Enter…

As the pinnacle event on the global design calendar made a triumphant return, design devotees from across the world descended on the streets of Milan in June for its first full-format itinerary in two years. Milan Design Week 2022 also marked the 60th anniversary of its main event, Salone del Mobile, the world’s biggest furniture fair. Among the attendees were two in-house designers from the King design team: Alinta Lim and Mina Bassilious. Attending 24 large-scale halls at Salone del Mobile, not to mention the satellite events all around the city, the designers were first-hand witnesses to the vibe shift. “In terms of mood, I can definitely confirm there was a sense of joy and optimism on the ground during Milan Design Week this year,” says Lim. “There were fewer…

Cascades of lilac wisteria hanging in the air. The citrus-honeyed scent of pink magnolias. Lush hothouse orchids, soft yet sculptural. There’s something magical about flowers in bloom, and for Tiffany & Co.’s latest high jewellery offering, these natural wonders come to life. The new collection is the third and final drop from the Botanica: Blue Book 2022 line (“Blue Book” nods to Tiffany & Co.’s legendary catalogue, which debuted in 1845). The first drop, Spring, was awash with dandelions and thistles, while Summer celebrated Queen Anne’s lace and painted blossom. Now the Fall chapter shines with three new botanical beauties: wisteria, magnolias and orchids. The exquisite array of necklaces, cuffs, brooches and earrings are dripping with gemstones and jewels: vividly hued sapphires and opals, tsavorite, morganite and diamonds. The pieces…

“Fill in my smile lines? Do you know how many good stories are in there? How many good laughs, how many great dinner parties?” Julia Roberts spent the beginning of this year locked down in Queensland. One of Hollywood’s most famous women was in the Whitsundays filming Ticket to Paradise with George Clooney when Covid numbers spiked and the pair had to quarantine. Clooney, who had his family with him, rescued Roberts from loneliness as she became part of their bubble. It sounds like something out of the kind of movie Roberts made her name doing in the ’90s, when she became the first female actor to make more than $US20 million a movie following hit films such as Pretty Woman (1990), My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997) and Notting Hill…

SISTER2 SISTER Christine and Sharon Muscat came from a musical household. Spotted on morning television, they formed duo Sister2Sister (S2S) and released the song “Sister” in 1999 when they were both teenagers. It hit the Top 5 in Australia and Top 20 in the UK, with the pair opening for Britney Spears in America the next year. A few years later, the pair gave up music to become MTV presenters before launching their own Sister2Sister School of Singing in Sydney. The duo recently released their first new music in 22 years, the track “Nothing’s Gonna Bring Us Down Now”, to mark a tour opening for UK boy-band 5ive in November. SHARON MUSCAT We lived through an intense period of time where we’d be standing next to Beyoncé and Destiny’s Child…

MUSIC BOX With hits like “Hero” and “Dreamlover”, it’s no surprise that Carey’s third album, Music Box, released in 1993, is her biggest-selling record. It’s is also one of the most successful albums ever, selling more than 28 million copies worldwide. BUTTERFLY With lead single “Honey”, Carey held the record for the most singles to debut at number one for 23 years, until it was broken by Ariana Grande. This year, Carey celebrated the 25th anniversary of the album that defined her freedom. MERRY CHRISTMAS It’s not Christmas without Mariah. Her 1994 festive hit “All I Want for Christmas is You” pops up at number 1 on the ARIA charts every December.

On her 21st birthday, Princess Elizabeth pledged that her whole life “whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service”. At the time, she couldn’t have imagined just how long her reign would last or that she would be thrust onto the throne in about five years’ time following the premature death of her father, King George VI, at age 56. During her record-breaking run of 70 years and 214 days spent as Queen of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth was served by 15 British prime ministers, overseeing everyone from Winston Churchill to Liz Truss, who she swore in as her final public duty just two days before her death. Throughout the decades, Her Majesty went in and out of public favour – at times she was revered…

DR BROOKE GOLDNER I have an autoimmune condition called lupus, which caused me to have a seizure and fall down a staircase. Afterwards, I went on television [and talked about] the accident [and then] Dr Goldner sent me a message telling me she could cure my lupus. Every doctor had told me that it is incurable, so my first thought was, “Whatever, lady, I don’t believe you.” But Dr Goldner explained that she had managed to cure her own lupus, so I decided to give her program a go. Lupus is a life-threatening illness, yet no-one really knows what it is. In recent years there’s been a bit more of a conversation, especially after [singer, actor] Selena Gomez opened up [in 2015] about being a sufferer, but there’s still a…
