Innholdsfortegnelse for June 2018 i Vogue Australia

Rebel Wilson is indeed fearless. She’s gone where few celebrities have dared to go. She has challenged the Australian tabloid press, taking weeks out of her work schedule in the US to appear in Australian courts to do so – and won. She is charming, just as funny in person as she is on screen, and continues to delight audiences as a phenomenally successful comic writer and newly minted film producer with an eye for detail (as you will read in Alison Veness’s story from page 124). We are very proud of Rebel’s first Vogue Australia cover. Make sure you watch the hysterical accompanying video (go to Vogue.com.au or our YouTube channel). Speaking of empowered women, this month we host the third annual Vogue Codes summit aimed at encouraging more…

BRYCE SCARLETT A favourite of It girls Gigi Hadid, Margot Robbie and Lily Aldridge, hairstylist Bryce Scarlett is definitely one in-demand man. Working on Rebel Wilson’s hair for this issue’s cover shoot, Scarlett described his experience with the actress as “comfortable and enjoyable”. “Rebel is so kind and easy to be around,” he says, adding that he let her hair do the talking with just a little help from a wind machine. “We were really focusing on Rebel’s natural beauty, so we left her hair with very easy natural texture, then added in a bit of wind for movement.” SOPHIA LI Videographer Sophia Li worked closely with Rebel Wilson for our cover video, getting to know the actress as she tried on couture pieces and worked her magic in front…

My first piece of proper jewellery was a pair of pearl studs my mother gave me for my 15th birthday,” model Hannah Motler confides as I clip Chanel Tahitian pearls on to her lobes for a Vogue shoot. “I’ll always treasure them.” Pearls have that effect. Wearing them for the first time has been a rite of passage for generations. The Queen is often seen in a three-strand pearl necklace, which was her first serious piece of jewellery, given to her by her grandfather. As Hannah will discover, pearls act as a touchstone, linking you to your family and youth. The other unique characteristic of a pearl is its opalescent sheen, which has the effect of lifting a face, arguably even more than make-up. However, that assumes you have the…

“AS HUMANS, WE NEED TO LOOK AFTER ONE ANOTHER … THIS PROJECT RESONATES” It is easy to imagine that domestic violence and homelessness happen to ‘other people’, but for many that’s not true. According to an Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report released in February this year, one in six Australian women has experienced physical and/or sexual violence by a partner, and fleeing domestic violence is the leading cause of homelessness for women with children. While that’s not been Lisa Dempsey’s personal experience, the co-founder of Australian label Jac + Jack understands how it can happen. “I myself have been in a vulnerable position before. I left home at a very young age, way too young,” she says. “I’ve also had friends who were successful in their careers then…

We know her from #evachenpose – the updates from Instagram’s miniature conference room on her Instagram account – and from the videos of her children playing with the app’s filters. Eva Chen’s reputation and influence exceeds the realms of traditional media. As director of fashion partnerships at Instagram, Chen has been instrumental in guiding the best of fashion’s insiders to produce their most authentic imagery and videos for the social media platform, a continuation from her earlier career working at fashion and beauty magazines. Chen visits Australia this June to speak at Vogue Codes. ZARA WONG: “You started your career working at magazines such as Elle and Teen Vogue, and then you were editor-in-chief at Lucky. Did you ever think you would be working at a technology company like Instagram?”…

SKIN DEEP Much of our daily beauty routine places emphasis on skincare, but it’s time to officially start pouring as much time, energy and know-how into your hair. Serums, masks and sun protection are all musts for maintaining your hair’s health as UV rays, styling and pollution all make an impact. “A UV protector is absolutely key, especially in Australia, where our UV levels are among the harshest in the world, burning the skin and dehydrating our poor locks!” says Anthony Nader of Raw Salon, before adding that it’s imperative to use year-round sun protection on your strands. Nader also suggests applying oils overnight and using this time to not only repair your hair but also style it. “Pop a treatment on and by all means give your mane a…

“I wasn’t striving to capture the Normandy countryside as it stands today, but rather the promise of a stroll through the tall grass … fragrance makes you travel” In 1913, armed with a modest sum of cash borrowed from her then boyfriend, a young Gabrielle Chanel opened an eponymous store in the French seaside town of Deauville. It’s where she brought her signature sense of ease and practical comfort (think sailor stripes, borrowed-from-the-boys jersey fabrics and décolletage-exposing blouses in place of stuffy corsets) to well-to-do Parisians on coastal weekenders. So disruptive and radical was her approach that despite Chanel shuttering the store on rue Gontaut-Biron 12 years later, the picturesque town and the storied house still have a mutual affection. Inspired by this narrative, the brand’s in-house perfumer Olivier Polge…

It is 3.30am on a Friday and my parents have woken me up. Without a second’s hesitation – there is no iPhone alarm to snooze – I bail myself out of bed to get dressed and brush my teeth. I’m 10 years old, feeling nauseous from the early hour, and a van is coming to take us to the airport, which is a 45-minute drive through the dark streets. I am a jangling mass of excitement. We have family round-the-world tickets for a six-week trip of a lifetime, a time that is as without end for a 10-year-old as it is for a working adult, and we are to catch a plane to our first port of call in a schedule that includes England, France, New York and on to…

Gemini 22 MAY – 21 JUNE You’re in your eloquent element now, gathering hot gossip and essential information, although your career could stall as you get distracted by pleasure, and spending could get out of control too. More witty than usual, others could fall under your spell, so if you’re not in for the long-term, make your intentions clear. STYLE ICON: Nicole Kidman Cancer 22 JUNE – 22 JULY Expect an avalanche of confidence now. Your ideas are on the money and you may even feel so positive that a work or love partner could feel that you’re throwing shade their way. Involve them in your plans, but take the kudos where it’s due. A past love or neglected talent could also resurface this month. STYLE ICON: Joan Smalls Leo…

For former model Jenny Brunt, finding herself on a Vogue set was nothing new. As the cover star of our December 1993 issue, Brunt knows her way around a Vogue shoot better than most. But earlier this year, 24 years after she graced our cover, she returned to join the team behind the lens. As part of stylist Elizabeth Stewart’s team, Brunt was on set for June cover star Rebel Wilson’s Sydney photo shoot, even appearing in a video with the actress giving her modelling tips: to smoulder or not to smoulder? (The video can be seen on Vogue.com.au.) For her 1993 cover, Brunt was photographed by 90s fashion favourite Paul Lange in a Donna Karan top and pants-suit, and, interestingly, didn’t appear inside the magazine, a common practice for…

CHECK THIS What maketh a true modern classic? The term is bandied around enough, but our era of fashion can be defined by this: bare bones that say timeless and a surprise twist that catches the eye. PRETTY YOUNG SWING Coats should never be a plain afterthought. Take this example: short and neat, a swing coat that has its soul in the 60s is a piece that can hold its own, never mind what’s underneath. BOX STEPS Proportions are set to hover at XL to XXL levels for the time being, so swing a new take in spliced-together prints of the same family. Checks nod to the coat’s typical iterations, but two different kinds feel original when purposefully clashed together. HUE IMPACT The classics are already lined up in the…

“I am quite particular; I don’t like things to be too conventional. I like it whimsical and I’m often inspired more by interior prints” In the world of Emilia Wickstead, the women are elegant and worldly, heading to work, perhaps, in one of her wool crepe sheaths in dusty pink, saffron or cream; going out for evening cocktails in a toffee-toned, bell-sleeved silk blouse; or attending garden parties in floral-printed dresses with portrait necklines updated with ruched waists and offbeat hues. And what would these women wear on holiday? Well, now that you ask … the New Zealand-born, London-based designer has just the thing. “I used this one line: ‘Once upon a time, a place in the sun’ as a sort of moving inscription within the collection. It’s a kind…

You wouldn’t know it to watch her on stage at the Sydney Opera House, in her pale pink pointe shoes, tights and tutu, but ballerina Alice Topp has a tattoo of a tiny bluebird on her right foot. Many years ago, a fracture in that foot resulted in her losing her contract with Royal New Zealand Ballet, a loss that led to a series of hurdles she fought hard to overcome. Overcome them she did, ultimately landing a coveted position at the Australian Ballet, where she has enjoyed a successful 11-year career dancing in Australia and abroad in productions by some of the world’s most respected choreographers. The bluebird travels with her, a constant reminder that the cracks in our past make us stronger and shape who we become. It…

Karl Lagerfeld might have said that he wasn’t breaking his rule of not looking back to the past by staging Chanel’s Métiers d’Art collection in his birthplace of Hamburg, but he hadn’t fooled many. Summoning 1,420 power clientele as well as media, buyers and the cream of the German creative scene – actresses and film directors alike – to the soaring, gleaming, brand-spanking new Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg’s concert hall, there really was no more authentic venue for the creative director. The Métiers d’Art travelling roadshow, which presents the house’s pre-fall collection and the fine craftsmanship of the French ateliers the house engages to painstakingly produce its confections – Lesage for embroidery, Lemarié for feathers, Desrues for buttons, Causse for gloves, and so on, has been circling closer to (Karl’s) home of…

Lucy Folk is driving from Melbourne to visit her sister in Bellingen, and the phone reception is left wanting. The Australian designer’s eclectic, unique aesthetic has flowered into a cult jewellery line, and an even more cult clothing line of robes and jumpsuits. Colour and a surprising, idiosyncratic twist – say, wearing a baseball cap with a dress – define Folk’s personal style. Black is not an option, I venture. “I wear it all the time!” she responds brightly. “Head-to-toe black? Really?” Affirmative, Folk confirms. The mistake soon becomes apparent: she misheard ‘black’ as ‘flax’, the fibre used in linen, a mainstay in her clothing line. “Not wearing black had become a conscious decision,” she tells me, referencing the adage of black being the unofficial fashion colour of her home…

“Whatever has been done is good but this is a new journey. I prefer very much the future. The past brings you back to the past” MODERN SOLE THE NEW RULES WHEN IT COMES TO ACCESSORIES? BREAK FREE OF THEM ENTIRELY, SAYS MORELLI, WHO ENVISAGES HIS HUE-SATURATED SHOES AND BAGS WORN BY WOMEN OF ALL AGES. “I DON’T THINK IT’S RELEVANT TODAY TO SPEAK IN FASHION ABOUT AGE. I MEAN, EVERY WOMAN CAN BE BEAUTIFUL; ANY AGE, ANY SIZE. PEOPLE ARE EVOLVED NOW, THE WORLD IS GLOBAL AND MORE MATURE WOMEN HAVE THE SAME TASTE AS A 30-YEAR-OLD, OR A WOMAN IN HER 20S. I THINK IT’S MORE A QUESTION OF SENSIBILITY.” The ritual of taking up the mantle from a label’s founder in fashion is often approached with monastic…

“WE THOUGHT: ‘WOW, WE ARE REALLY TALKING ABOUT PORNOGRAPHY IN PUBLIC’” Yes to screaming,” Laurie Anderson writes in an email after our phone call drops out (more on the screaming later). Technology is a bitch. We are talking on the eve of her inaugural artist in residence shows at the newly rebranded Home of the Arts (HOTA) on the Gold Coast, where she will be performing over four days this month. Every single part of Anderson’s residency will be unique. The American artist, and wife of the late Lou Reed, is quite incredible; an unstoppable powerhouse of ongoing ideas and passion, all syncopated to create the richness of her multimedia work. She is provocative: rip it apart, look at things anew, believe, play, chew it up, spit it out, entertain.…

Chop chop We’re calling it: the bob is the most evolutionary style of the past few decades. Right now it’s asymmetric, blunt and poker-straight. Turn up the volume Feel like taking it back to the 90s with a voluminous blowout? No problem. Bring it into 2018 via a hint of frizz that whispers of lived-in glamour. Oil slick If there’s a style that says understated, modern, cool and rebellious all at once, it’s this one. Drench strands in gel (or water) and simply comb from root to tip. Geometry lesson With billowy silhouettes infiltrating our wardrobes, it’s only natural that our beauty regimen follows suit. Keep volume at the base for maximum impact. Wave rider If your mane sports natural swing, then this style is a no-brainer. For the rest…

Whatever your thoughts on over-sharing on social media, there’s one universal truth we can’t refute, particularly when it comes to our beauty regimen: every product, tool and technique is laid bare for the world to see. As a result, there are few remaining beauty taboos. If we’re enduring it, chances are we’re talking about it. But there’s one exception to the rule, a very real phenomenon that’s omitted from the conversation – hair loss. It may be unsexy, but it’s happening. “Fifty per cent of all men and women are affected by hair thinning and/or hair loss at some point in their lives,” says Gina Thomas, educational director for Wella and Coty Professional Beauty. And the causes are plentiful: stress; hormones; pregnancy (during and after); genetics; diet (calorie-restricted or low-carb…
