Innholdsfortegnelse for March 2019 i Vogue Australia

Moving into my own apartment after years of sharing was a huge relief; no more arguments over whose turn it was to clean the kitchen or nights spent consoling housemates crying hysterically after being dumped. Instead, I’d get home from work, kick off my shoes and revel in the quiet solitude – for a while, at least. After a year of quiet bliss, slight loneliness started to set in on nights spent by myself. Through the walls, I could sometimes hear neighbours watching the same TV shows and wondered: were they also watching alone and fancied company? Despite living in such close proximity, I didn’t even know any of their names – I was hardly in a position to knock on their doors and invite them around. The only time…

HOW TO DO T-SHIRTS AND SHIRTS BY MAYA YEMANA, MODEL It’s not about cost: “The majority of my clothes are hand-me-downs from my mum or second-hand stores. I don’t think you need to spend a lot of money on clothes to have good style.” Search for: ”Comfort and colour. If it’s a T-shirt, I look for something rare. I honestly don’t discriminate; if it catches my eye, it’s a winner. I don’t care if it’s for a guy or girl.” Feel your way: “How I’m feeling that day and the weather mainly influence how I dress. If I go to a casting, they usually have clothes to try on, so it doesn’t affect my get-up.” The added extras: “For a T-shirt I’d say it’s about accessories. Just put on some…

Change is in the air. A new generation of talent is coming through, bringing with it new thoughts, feelings, expectations and values to the doorstep of fashion and the creative industries. This new guard is emerging in the middle of a massive movement of change regarding diversity, equality and sexual identity. They are pursuing creative careers in the age of social media and learning to thrive in what has been coined a culture of comparison. They’re managing critical issues unique to their industries, such as sustainability and mental health. And they’re fighting back, finding a sense of empowerment in their forward-thinking peers. Here, Vogue gathers eight young graduates from the disciplines of art, fashion, media and beyond, to discuss the worries and concerns they feel are unique to their generation…

2019. Spring. Los Angeles. The vast city shrugs off its shawl of wintry cloud banks and reveals itself sparkling clean and briefly magnificent against its backdrop of snow-dusted ranges. Nestled at the base of some of the steepest, gnarliest mountains is a cluster of deceptively plain-looking buildings. Inside one particularly bland, beige, windowless building, in a very large clean white room, a spacecraft is being methodically assembled. The spacecraft, a six-wheeled, one-tonne interplanetary rover, is destined for Mars. This spacecraft must be ready for launch 16 months from now: July 2020. On that date, the rover will hurtle toward Mars, where it will set about unravelling the geological past and searching for signs of ancient life, each day performing a new batch of instructions from a home it will never…

“OUR BOND GREW OVER BEING OBSESSED WITH MAKE-UP AND NOW I DO HER MAKE-UP FOR EVERYTHING” Priscilla Ono is sandwiched between the best and worst aspects of her job. The New York-based make-up artist is navigating the ill effects of a gruelling schedule and a long-haul flight to Sydney, while simultaneously living her dream as personal make-up artist to pop superstar Rihanna and global make-up artist for the singer’s blockbuster make-up line, Fenty Beauty. “Honestly, it’s worth it,” says the perennially upbeat 35-year-old. Here, Ono talks chance meetings, prep parties and why 90s video clips were her education. How did you meet Rihanna? “We actually met seven or eight years ago. I was doing make-up for some of the extras on the S&M music video and she saw me. Then…

In a video that has been viewed 1.2 million times, Lilliana Dee is pretending to apply concealer to the camera. “Dab, dab, dab,” she says in a deliberately slow near-whisper. The 23-year-old digital marketing graduate forms part of a growing community of YouTubers who upload videos that typically involve whispering into an oversized microphone to induce a brain ‘tingle’ otherwise known as an autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR). For anyone who experiences it, ASMR is a shiver-like sensation initiated at the scalp, which may also filter throughout the rest of the body, providing an overall sense of calm. The triggers are either visual (origami, slime, applying make-up or, oddly, folding towels) or auditory (whispering, tapping, gentle scratching). While the trend took hold in grassroots YouTube, and the term ASMR was…

BROADLY SPEAKING Ooh, baby, baby, it’s a wide world. Or at least it is at Gucci, where Alessandro Michele puffs out 80s glamour into arm-enveloping shoulders. Lean all the way in. WILD EYES Try seduction nature’s way, with glittering eyes as iridescent as beetle wings. Flutter by. HER OWN PLATFORM Say it through shoes. The mighty platforms re-enter, like Miu Miu’s pumped-up disco heels ready to spend their time beyond the dancefloor. MINI DRAMA Hedi Slimane’s Celine debut had people talking right from the opening look. Blown-up polka dots on an LBD with elegant couture-sized proportions were unmissable. LIFE’S A BEACH Where to next for the ubiquitous beach bag? Simon Porte Jacquemus took it up an octave with a bag so monolithic it spelt the end of leaving the sand…

LAURA MAY & HANNAH GIBBS, FOUNDERS, NAGNATA Hannah Gibbs, a textile artist and photographer, joined her sibling and creative director Laura May to produce a directional line of active pieces in Nagnata that addressed a bugbear Laura May first had in yoga class. “I didn’t like the tight synthetic activewear on the market,” she says. “I wanted to design garments that offered support but were nonrestrictive.” This meant their yoga to street pieces were built on first hand experience; Gibbs wanted a knit that would allow the wearer to breathe properly. They struck on a superfine seamless fabric developed with the Woolmark company that compresses lightly. An added plus? Their retro, sport-inflected pieces in buoyant colour-blocking are sustainably made from zero-waste organic cotton.…

It’s become almost a cliche to conflate the essence of San Francisco with a kind of tech bro culture, no doubt a result of the city’s proximity to Silicon Valley. Yes, the greater Bay Area is known for incubating some of the most innovative companies whose products we use on a daily basis (Apple, Uber, Google, Netflix, Facebook et al ), but San Francisco is so much more than just the sum of its clever tech parts. Perhaps owing to its counterculture history and youthful energy, there’s a vibrant culture of food, art, design and winemaking that’s just as boundary-breaking and disruptive as any of the apps you might see on your phone. Stereotypes aside, it’s clear the city has been transformed by the flood of tech investment and can-do…

The cream of Australia’s New York-based creatives were united in January to celebrate Elle Macpherson and Simon Baker, who were honoured at the 2019 American Australian Arts Awards. Hosted at Skylight Modern by the American Australian Association, the event, which was presented by NAB in partnership with the Pratt Foundation and Bird in Hand, served to recognise the notable achievements of a number of Australians. Former honoree Laura Brown (editor-in-chief of US InStyle magazine) presented WellCo founder, supermodel and businesswoman Macpherson, who was accompanied by her son Flynn Busson, while Hugh Jackman presented fellow actor and new director Simon Baker this year’s awards for their contribution to the arts. Victoria’s Secret model Shanina Shaik emceed the event and presented the Rising Star award to young Australian actor and singer Zoy…

EMMA KATE BOYD “I’d just flown in from New York, so the first jet lag move was a dip in the ocean … I didn’t care how cold it was!” says model Emma Kate Boyd of her first fashion shoot for Vogue Australia, photographed in Currarong, New South Wales – see page 182. Working with wildlife such as a kangaroo, kookaburras and a snake was a fun experience for the Kiwi beauty – “the baby roo Bella was a charmer” – and the job ended up being one of her favourites. “I had a great team to work with and I felt like I was on a getaway with friends – animals included!” JOE BRENNAN Sydney-based photographer Joe Brennan, who captured a group of young creatives for ‘The graduates’, from…

SHEER TALENT In the spirit of the new generation of check and its offshoots, bring levity into the equation. An airy sheer lightens the mood. PATCH PERFECT The discordant clash of lines lends a haphazard feel to a statement piece. A sweeping skirt gives it room to show off. IN THE FRAME The rustic charm of a blouse in country check frames the face and finds its place in the urban environment if accessorised just so. Try shrunken glasses and tough jewellery. PRETTY PERFECT A summery madras taps into the print’s less serious side. Kitsch with a kick is trending right now, so tune into ultra-feminine vibes in bubblegum pink. WINNING SUIT Checks and tartan have made it through the decades, so return to the era getting airplay right now:…

Attempting to determine what defines a particular epoch while it’s still underway is generally regarded to be a fool’s errand, but in the case of the chaotic Noughties could just be possible. As we wind up the decade in 2019, labels, boxes and prescriptive classifications seem passé right now, and so a talent like Charli XCX, whose work fits neatly nowhere, might just perfectly echo her own times. Sitting in the band room in Sydney’s Lansdowne Hotel in black Balenciaga knife boots, tailored black shorts and a white shirt and blazer, the LA-based musician is recalling how she found her unique selling point right between two of those proverbial and maligned boxes. “I realised my strength, and not to sound cocky, is to really straddle both pop and the world…

It has informed my approach to jewellery design, seeing each piece that I design as a wearable work of art.” 2. “The work of the great Maya Angelou. Her elegance, grace and passion have taught me to create from the heart.” 3. “My Finn Juhl NV 53 Love seat, designed in 1953.” 4. “Dakar, Senegal. A city full of inspiration that arouses all your senses.” 5. “The beauty of Henning Koppel’s 1017 tea service designed for Georg Jensen in 1952. The sculptural organic forms are simply breathtaking.” 6. “The Mercy bangle is one of my favourite pieces in the collection [designed by Rabun for Georg Jensen]. I…

ON FINDING THE PERFECT MATCH … When you’re choosing your foundation, you want it to match your body, not your face, because your face is always going to be lighter. BEST MAKE-UP HACK … Take a spoolie brush, wet it with water and run it across a clear glycerine bar of soap, then brush it on your brows. It dries and it makes them stay perfectly still. STAY PROTECTED … Sunscreen is a must – Rihanna is really great about applying sunscreen.…

It’s in the early years of Song for the Mute (SFTM) and the label’s co-founders, Melvin Tanaya and Lyna Ty, are in a small town near Nagoya in Japan. “We discovered that there’s this really old, traditional Japanese fabric industry that has almost been forgotten,” says Tanaya. Through a recommendation, they visit for the first time a fabric artisan whose only other clients are Yohji Yamamoto and Comme des Garçons – he has created archives of the fabrics he’s made for them. The artisan, like many others in Japan, are particular about who they work with and specialise in only one material – one artisan might do wool, another gabardine. Being Tanaya and Ty’s first visit, the artisan pulls out of a folder six types of fabric he has created…

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH Be sure to spend a leisurely morning exploring the heritage sights of the Ferry Building marketplace, the California-certified farmers’ market specialising in local produce and artisanal goods. From there, head south to Dogpatch, one of the oldest neighbourhoods in San Francisco. Located just 15 minutes downtown via tram, the former industrial suburb has enjoyed a recent resurgence. Craft-beer fans should schedule a stop at Triple Voodoo Brewery for a taste testing. FOOD FIGHT The city has no shortage of Michelin-starred restaurants, but for a truly cult foodie experience, direct your map towards the Mission district. Avital (avitaltours.com) offers four-course walking tours of the area, dropping in at places such as Mexican fusion joint West of Pecos, cheese (and beer) sampling bar Mission Cheese, organic vegan Mexican joint Gracias…

Cartier certainly knows how to paint the town red, hosting one of the parties of 2018, which featured a surprise appearance by pop star Rita Ora. Ora’s performance was the highlight of the evening, which began with Sydney’s Anzac Bridge illuminated Cartier red for the Cartier Precious Garage party, themed ‘When the Ordinary Becomes Precious’. Ora’s set of killer tunes left guests – including Elizabeth Debicki, Bella Heathcote, Georgia Fowler, Jessica Gomes, Madeleine Madden, Pip Edwards, Deborah Symond O’Neil and Heidi Middleton – dancing into the balmy December night. The new Juste un Clou slim variations and new Écrou de Cartier collections where scattered (and secured) around the venue so we could all take a look. The Shipyard under the Anzac Bridge was transformed into the Cartier Precious Garage, bringing…

It’s been a year since Emma Watson guest-edited our groundbreaking March 2018 issue and helped us shine a spotlight on sustainable, ‘thoughtful’ fashion. A champion of sustainability and human rights, the British actor and activist brought her passions and inspirations to our pages, sharing her favourite ethical fashion labels, highlighting human rights and feminist issues, exploring her love of literature, and more. Fittingly, it was from this issue that Vogue appointed its first sustainability editor at large, Clare Press, who since then has kept us at the forefront of ethical fashion. So what positive changes have occurred over the past 12 months? More fashion labels have banned fur, are using new materials made from reused and repurposed products and are aiming for net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Consumer…

Charli XCX’s pick of next-gen designers from her native country. 1 MIMI WADE British-American Mimi Wade’s creations are known for their subversive-meets-sweet feel (swinging decidedly heavily toward the former). Fans include Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey and Princess Nokia. 2 MOLLY GODDARD Five years in, Molly Goddard has had a recent extra boost to her profile via that pink dress in Killing Eve. She’s expanded on her signature tulle of late with neat daywear separates to win more fans. 3 CLAIRE BARROW Experimental with a punk-ish DIY mien, Claire Barrow’s pieces read more like art, a discipline she works in just as much as fashion. Think bustier dresses, hoodies and bodysuits etched with her unique drawings. 4 ASHLEY WILLIAMS Joyously eclectic, Ashley Williams has developed from a ‘one-to-watch’ to an…

“Our woman is independent, intelligent and self-assured. She is worldly, discerning and understands design and quality” How has New York City changed your design aesthetic since you both arrived there? Josh Goot: “I’m not sure New York has changed our aesthetic. I think it’s more about growing up, discovering yourself and what you believe in, and working differently within the industry. I suppose New York encourages this kind of evolution – it grants a lot of freedom and opportunity.” What are the essentials when you start to design a new season? Christine Centenera: “We always start with a theme – aiming to define a particular mode of dress that relates to life in the city. We think about the quintessential items within the framework, then we go into textiles –…

Julie Bishop: federal Liberal member for Curtin 2018 was a particularly awful year for many Australian women in politics, including your treatment during the leadership spill. How did you maintain your dignity? “When faced with challenges, I believe you need to draw on your inner reserves – self-belief and backing your judgement. I was able to do that and was therefore comfortable with the decisions I had to make in rather difficult circumstances.” You recently noted Australia’s standing in the world ranking of female parliamentary representation has fallen from 15th in 1997 to 50th. How did it get so dire? “It’s a very adversarial environment. Behaviour that’s tolerated in parliament, especially during Question Time and particularly the personal abuse, would not be tolerated in any other workplace. Yet it appears…

TAKE FLIGHT From top to toe, feathers flooded the runway for spring/summer ’19. Mimic the trend on lids in the brightest peacock hues. BLURRED LINES Take something regular and propel it to extraordinary, as make-up artist Steven Canavan has done with a humble rouge lip. No mirror required. MAKE TRACKS Above, below and in between: liner this season wasn’t all about punchy brights. A muted tone can be just as impactful, as long as it’s painterly and the right amount of off-kilter. LAID BARE If putting in minimum effort means maximum impact, then sign us up. Brush up brows, blot the T-zone and air-dry tresses for a beauty statement that speaks volumes. SHAPE-SHIFTER Geometric brights pop against a white wardrobe. Here, Canavan painted hot fuschia onto lids with a steady…

1. Dr Barbara Sturm Anti-Pollution Drops, $212. Dr Barbara Sturm has a knack for turning something seemingly gimmicky into a skincare revolution (see Kim Kardashian’s vampire facial). Now Sturm is tackling the blue light emitted from our devices with her Anti-Pollution Drops. The jury’s still out on exactly how harmful those rays actually are, but prevention is better than a cure, so we recommend slathering this on each morning. 2. La Prairie Platinum Rare Cellular Life-Lotion, $895. The latest iteration of La Prairie’s Platinum Rare line is in the form of the necessary-sounding Life-Lotion, which works two-fold: first, it helps skin cells function efficiently, before getting to work protecting those newly energised cells from external aggressors. All of that translates to a smoother complexion and plumped-out lines and wrinkles. 3.…

Jan Fran: “I want to start by talking to you about success. You’ve all had pretty major successes. You’ve all come off the back of winning some pretty major awards. I’m curious, what does success actually mean to you?” Angourie: “I think it’s dangerous for me to measure my success by an award, and I try not to do that. And I think for me it’s achieving little successes along the way and being proud of something. If I make a film and I’m proud of that, then I feel like I’ve achieved something, so I feel like I’m successful in making something that I loved and that I’m proud of.” Amy: “I second that. As long as I’m proud of the body of work that I’ve put out, it’s…

NATALIA MONTERO “The fact that I am now representing Colombia in the world of fashion makes me very proud,” says Natalia Montero, who calls the salsa-dancing city of Cali home. Her first memory of fashion was watching her cousin taking modelling classes. “I didn’t like it so much then: what I liked was being in the street running barefoot with the other children,” she says. Fast-forward almost a decade, and Montero was spotted in between waitressing shifts and soon found herself at Paris fashion week, where she walked for Loewe, Chloé and Balenciaga. When she has a rare moment of down time, she writes, paints or watches films. “I love art, so my motto is always: ‘When you feel alone, create.’” JULIA MERKELBACH After being discovered at a Hamburg train…

KATINA LAW, CHAIR & DIRECTOR, DUTJAHN SANDALWOOD OILS Built on the principle of mutual respect, Law and a handful of investors teamed up with Indigenous desert nomads in Western Australia to ensure the long-term viability of sandalwood oil, an ingredient widely used in perfumery.

It was a crisp autumn day when Riccardo Tisci presented his debut collection for Burberry but, seated on rows of plush velvet chairs in a dimly lit, disused mail centre, those of us in the audience might never have known it. In the months leading up to the grand reveal, the industry had been fervently speculating as to how the former artistic director of Givenchy might evolve his gothic romance and Italianate aesthetic to suit a brand that has long revolved around Bloomsbury Group frills and cultural nostalgia – and despite the comfortable furnishings and monogrammed silk scarves draped on each cushion, the darkly industrial set-up seemed more aligned with Tisci’s familiar proclivities than the British bourgeoisie. But then the lights went down and the heavens opened: the curtain covering…

Georg Jensen, together with Vogue Australia, welcomed guests to an intimate dinner hosted at famed Melbourne restaurant Attica.

Aries 21 MARCH – 20 APRIL You’re supercharged now, but also more aware of your own vulnerability, so cut yourself some slack and extend that courtesy to others, as emotions around friendships and romance may be running high. What feels right most likely is right, so trust instinct over intellect. That said, keep a cool head around money. STYLE ICON: Jessica Chastain Taurus 21 APRIL – 21 MAY This month you’re a full-on force of untameable nature. Your entourage could start to include more bohemian types, and love with an unusual or work-related admirer could also arise. Such major changes to your routine might deplete your energy now, so put extra time into taking care of your body’s needs. STYLE ICON: Cate Blanchett Gemini 22 MAY – 21 JUNE If…
