SURROUNDED BY EXTRAORDINARY VINTAGE FINDS, decadently upholstered furniture and her own designs, Marta Ferri is in her element. The Italian designer and her family call this historic Milan apartment home, but it’s the expressive fabrics, the theatrically-painted rooms and the artfully-arranged heirlooms that make it quintessentially hers. What stands out about Marta’s approach to style is her archival knowledge of textiles, and this passion traverses fashion and interiors. In 2014 Marta founded her own couture atelier and recently she designed a womenswear capsule for luxury retailer Matchesfashion. Her garments are romantic, feminine and expertly tailored with a touch of whimsy, but her other creative side revels in working with brands. As a textile consultant for the furniture company Moltenti&C, Marta experiments with colour and fibre combinations to develop innovative, atmospheric…

HELLE MARDAHL IS AN AESTHETIC LINGUIST. Fluent in fashion, furniture design, glass sculpture-making and painting, the Danish artist adopted a creative dialect from a young age while watching her architect father at work, an upbringing Helle says “had a huge influence on my work, my development and approach.” In pursuit of a creative life, Helle graduated from London’s illustrious Central Saint Martins College, an education that allowed her to look at her work “from different perspectives; to work in different fields yet at the same time merge it all together.” Through fashion design, she became obsessed with shape, form, colour and texture and while her work always exudes visual panache, it’s her glass objects that are a true translation of her personality and imagination. It’s been more than a decade…

who lives here? A young family with one child. The couple engaged interior designer Cassie James-Herrick to redesign their penthouse. Cjhstudio.com.au @cjh____________studio WITH ITS WHIPPED CREAM CURVES, sky-high ceilings and beachfront outlook, this penthouse on the Gold Coast embraces the best of its location without the typical panache. The owners, a busy working couple with a young child, wanted a home that felt more like a retreat and after buying this property a few years ago they asked interior designer Cassie James-Herrick to bring their vision to life. Though the design is a “complete juxtaposition to the ostentatious Queensland locale”, Cassie says she happily took inspiration from the 1980s architecture. “The project became a response to the beautiful existing space and the materiality of the original building and its curvaceous…

This month’s interior looks are inspired by three fashion campaigns…

so frenchy, so chic Neutral colours work great in this space as they offer enough texture to activate interest, but not so much that they’re distracting; they’re tactile yet calming,” says real living stylist Lisa Burden. If you want something a little brighter, Lisa suggests trying buttery yellow, soft millennial pink and lilac in muted shades as alternative colours. soft touch Dark tones may be a surprising choice for a bedroom, but Lisa assures us this olive green is soft and pleasing to the eye. “It isn’t harsh and striking, like black, and the texture makes the olive green feel softer. This shade will calm the mind, which is exactly what you need to drift off to sleep at night.” If olive green isn’t for you, try soft blues, sage…

pink princess If you’re looking for a bouquet to celebrate all things love and romance, this is the type of floral artistry to seek out. “The Pink Princess arrangement is made for those who wear their crown with pride and are unapologetic lovers of all things strong, beautiful, bold and feminine,” Ed says. “With its bright red heart, this pretty bouquet is for the true romantics and the brave souls willing to wear their heart on their sleeve.” Flowers fit for a royal affair. KEY FLORALS FOR THIS LOOK Dahlia, rose and sweet pea the dancing lady Should you happen to be shopping for a bouquet to celebrate a happy occasion or delightful friend, The Dancing Lady is a floral display for the sweetheart in your life, the loyal friend…

WE’RE IN THE BUSINESS OF TRENDS. Spotting them, setting them – they’re part of everything we do here at real living. Lately I’ve been noticing a new one: the anti-trend. That is, designers are throwing the rule book out the window and decorating with whatever takes their fancy. Matching and clashing. Old and new. Light and dark. Colour and neutrals. The point of this anti-trend is to be fearless in your choices, no matter what others think. Isn’t it exciting? The work of British design duo Campbell-Rey is a prime example. Turn to p98 to discover why they follow their hearts instead of the rules. Closer to home, this issue we tour three gorgeous Aussie abodes along the east coast, from Queensland to Victoria. The houses, and one fabulous apartment,…

BIG SHOULDER PADS AND BIGGER PERMS. High-waist jeans and high intensity jazzercise. If the last decade was spent achieving balance, the eighties were all about living large, and one of the biggest names in fashion and beauty was Oribe (it’s pronounced ‘OR-bay’). Born Oribe Canales, the legendary hairstylist was professionally known only by his first name, putting him in the same rareified league as the supermodels he befriended and worked with including Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell. A self-described dreamer, Oribe moved to New York in his teens to pursue acting, but his destiny took a turn when the influential hairdresser Garren hired him as an assistant. Oribe’s glamorous style helped define the larger than life hairdos of the 1980s and ’90s. He opened salons in Miami Beach…

THE DECISION TO OPEN A PHYSICAL SPACE when retailers are decamping to digital seems quietly revolutionary, but Australian fashion label Albus Lumen has never followed the status quo. In June this year, founder and creative director Marina Afonina launched Société, her first Albus Lumen store, and it’s every bit as pure, timeless and self-assured as her womenswear designs. “I’ve always wanted to have a space and when the location found us it was meant to be,” Marina says of the Bondi address. “I want people to feel as though they are entering an Albus Lumen monastery. A space where they can be educated on the brand or immerse themselves in a one-on-one relaxed luxury experience.” Indeed, Sociéte is the antipode of traditional retail. The store is by appointment only, which…

who lives here? Cushla McFadden, the director of design firm Tom Mark Henry, with her husband Brendan, their son August and Maxie the cattle dog. Tommarkhenry.studio | @tommarkhenry_ CREATING OTHER PEOPLE’S HOMES is easy for Cushla McFadden, co-director of award-winning interior design studio Tom Mark Henry. But when it came to the design and renovation of her own Victorian terrace in Sydney’s inner suburbs, pinpointing the exact look she was after took a little more time. Just as well, because after purchasing the property in 2017 and planning to renovate it immediately, it took nine months of council approvals, four months of design work and a six month build for Cushla’s vision to come to fruition – but it was absolutely worth the wait. The couple moved into the home…
