Innholdsfortegnelse for October 2016 i Girlfriend Australia

i knew from a reeeally early age I wanted to work in the fashion industry – according to my parents I was straight out the womb making magazines. Before I got this gig at Girlfriend I worked as a fashion editor and spent my days hanging out on shoots, interviewing cool chicks across the globe and writing about why furry shoes were saaah on trend. And the question I still get asked now when people find out what I do – like every single time – is if it’s ‘like that movie’ (they’re of course referring to The Devil Wears Prada). So hey, here’s the truth about what’s legit in the farshun biz and what’s just lol. STRAIGHT UP MYTHICAL 1. You get to shop from the fashion cupboard. You…

1920s COCO CHANEL Yep, we’re talking about the Chanel, because let’s be real – there was no-one quite like her. Even almost a century later the French designer’s chic cred remains, with Lily Collins, Karlie Kloss and Kristen Stewart fans of her brand’s timeless designs. Coco’s motto, “Fashion passes, only style remains” still rings true, and her trademark outfit of a black dress, ballet flats and pearls is still a staple in every fashion girl’s closet. 1950s AUDREY HEPBURN Who could forget the iconic image from Breakfast at Tiffany’s of Audrey totally owning that Givenchy black dress, pearls, diamond tiara and elegant updo? Loved by millions for her pixie-like features and infectious energy, the screen legend remains a source of inspiration for art, music and fashion today. MARILYN MONROE Probably…

WALL ART YOU WILL NEED: * Canvas frame * Painter’s tape * Paint * Paint brush 1 Work out a design on your canvas frame and tape it off with painter’s tape. 2 Paint within the tape (you’ll need to do 2 or 3 coats). 3 Once the paint has dried, slowly peel off the tape.

every week I receive a bunch of emails asking how I got my job in the fashion industry. I could go on for days about how my amazing journey started, but because I have a limited amount of space (and because I don’t want to bore you!) here’s a quick rundown. Like most girls born in the ’80s, I loved Barbies and the Spice Girls. I used to style my Barbies and borrow my Mum’s Nikon camera to do mini photo shoots (then of course I’d make her pay to develop the film). I’d then put together different photo albums and create mini magazines of all my shoots. I was probably nine at the time. By age 10 I was dressing like Baby Spice. I found a group of girls…

“BEING PART OF A YOUNG BUSINESS IS REALLY COOL BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH ROOM TO GROW.” When I first started uni I took a job at my local pizza shop (Crust) answering phones and managing takeaway orders. The degree I was working towards was in media, PR and advertising, but I also enjoyed doing something totally different after class. Manning the phones soon turned into delivery driving, and within a year I was lucky enough to secure a really cool management role within the drive team. My responsibilities included looking after every order and working out who was going to deliver what. Travelling was always something I wanted to do too, and my job helped a LOTwith saving up for some pretty cool trips in my uni holidays! America and…

ALL QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED BY DR MICHAEL CARR-GREGG, GF’S ADOLESCENT PSYCHOLOGIST. WHEN YOUR PAL’S CRUSHIN’ ON YOU Yep, this sitch is so common it happens on just about every TV show ever… Name shame My parents divorced and Dad proposed to his new partner, but she’s horrible. I don’t want to share a last name with Dad and his new fiancée, do I need his signature to change my name? Mum is supporting me, but I’m worried both parents need to sign the form. Stuck It’s almost always challenging when young people are confronted with a new partner in a parent’s life. Many step-families are based on a loss of some description and it takes time to work through your grief. Talking to a counsellor might help. If after the…

WE CHAT DREAM DATES, GUILTY PLEASURES AND CELEB CRUSHES WITH TV’S BIGGEST REGULATION HOTTIE. HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INTO ACTING? I discovered acting in high school, but I’ve been on stage doing music since I was quite young. I was in school plays and theatre productions which fed my passion. YOU’VE JUST FINISHED UP WITH HOME AND AWAY, WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU? Taking some time off and getting back into music. I was also cast in the Dance Academy movie so I’ve been shooting for that recently. ANY CRAZY FAN EXPERIENCES? A few, haha! I had…

Seventeen-year-old Michaela is passionate about life. She’s in her final year of high school, was raised on a farm, advocates against sexual violence, and dyes her brown locks an amazing shade of red. Oh, and she identifies queer (although she says most people understand it as bisexual). If you met Michaela, you’d never imagine her being worried about, well, anything! But she’s the first to admit she was scared about telling people the truth about her sexuality. “Most of us are,” she says. “But I figured that being afraid of the word ‘gay’ would only further perpetuate the stigma around it. And I wasn’t ashamed of who I was – in fact, I was the happiest I had ever been!” Scenario #1 Your friends don’t understand Your BFFs will hopefully…

3 CELEBS WHO WERE BULLIED Beth Mota said ‘laters, haters’ and is now the queen of the internet [praise hands emoji].

WHAT’S YOUR FAVE FASHION LOOK ON A GIRL? Something nice and classy, maybe a little elegant. Jaxon Anything low-maintenance and casual. Sam Goth girls. Patrick The natural beachy look is always my favourite. Josh ARE THERE ANY FASHION TRENDS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND? Those really, really shortshorts.Jaxon Not sold on the Canadian tuxedo tbh (that’s double denim for those of you playing along at home). Sam There was the man bun trend that was everywhere for a while. Didn’t get the appeal with that one. Patrick I’m not sure if it’s a trend or not, but contouring still has me so confused… Josh WOULD YOU EVER NOT DATE A GIRL BECAUSE OF THE WAY SHE DRESSES? Yes. I know it’s horrible, but I really like a girl who dresses tastefully. Jaxon…

makeup is fun. So much so that I could very easily dedicate four pages of the mag to it (exhibit A – the last four pages). Coveting catwalk trends, lurking in the depths of YouTube beauty tutorials and double tapping on EVERYTHING under the hashtag #topshelfie is basically my Saturday night, and I rarely leave the house without my makeup bag (which is my handbag, plus wallet, phone and Opal card). Oh yeah, and then there’s skincare… Flashback to a few years ago, and I saw looking after my skin as this annoying thing that I had to do. Cleanse. Tone. Moisturise. Are we there yet? And by there, I mean a flawless, model-worthy complexion. Sometimes I didn’t take my makeup off before bed, and other days I’d skip the…

Your debut album Internal drops this month – are you excited? Yeah! We’ve been writing for ages and compiling a bunch of songs, not specifically with an album in mind, but then we played them back and they actually worked well together. They each sounded completely different, but together it sounded right. You guys have played at a bunch of music festivals recently – which one was your fave? Groovin The Moo was great. It’s such a good vibe, it’s really music-focused and it’s always so much fun backstage. All the bands usually become best friends after the tour! Splendour in the Grass is a lot of fun too, but they’re all good in their own way. Is it surreal looking back at how far you guys have come in…

do you ever wake up and go to get dressed in the morning and think to yourself, “What vibe do I wanna go for today? Goth? ’90s? Boho-chic?” only to try on a million different combos and end up with half your closet on the floor while you blankly stare at the pile in confusion as to what to wear? No? Well I do. I feel like picking what to wear each day is kind of like a fun costume party for life, where you can pretty much be your own made-up character. For example, if I’ve been listening to a bit too much YG or Drake that week and start thinking I’m a badass, I might go for a pair of Nikes and accessorise with one of my many,…

THE SITCH: Your closet is so full that clothes have begun migrating to an ever-growing pile on the bedroom floor – time to sell unwanted threads and make some $$$! THE SOLUTION: Besides the usual suspects (like eBay, Esty and Facebook buy/sell/swap groups), there’s a bunch of new apps which act like a community marketplace and make selling your preloved outfits super easy. Just snap a pic, upload it to the app, and wait for someone in your local area to purchase. Too easy! THE APPS: • Carousell • SnapSell • Wallapop • Depop THE SITCH: The biggest party of the year is on this weekend, but you’ve got NOTHING to wear – and even if did order something, it wouldn’t arrive until next week! THE SOLUTION: If you live…

ALYSHA, 16 IF I WASN’T MODELLING, I WOULD BE… working at a veterinary clinic as a nurse, or at a zoo. I’M INSPIRED BY… Samantha Harris and Candice Swanepoel. I’D DESCRIBE MY STYLE AS… Boho, kind of ’80s fashion. I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT… my family and my pets. I MAINTAIN GREAT SELF-ESTEEM BY… not comparing myself to others, as we all have positives and negatives in our lives. PARIS, 17 I DREAM OF BEING A MODEL BECAUSE… the opportunities provided through modelling are endless… there’s so much you can accomplish. AND IF I WASN’T MODELLING, I WOULD BE… focusing on my music and acting. I’M INSPIRED BY… hardworking, motivated and dedicated people who put everything into their craft. I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT… music, it’s a creative outlet for me. I…

“MY ADVICE WOULD BE TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND GO GET IT!” “For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to be an actress – when I first saw the Harry Potter movies I was all like, “I wanna do that!” I literally forced my parents to enrol me in my first acting class when I was only eight years old! Growing up in New Zealand, I was a part of my local youth theatre. We’d put on seriously elaborate musical productions where everyone in the cast was young like me! We’d rehearse after school and I’d try to fit in study between scenes. Because we were all in the same boat we’d help each other out backstage – someone would always be asking, ‘How do I graph…

… might lie in how quickly you forgive others. In a new study, participants who were more forgiving perceived hills to be five degrees less steep, and were able to jump an average of seven centimetres higher than those less merciful. Scientists put this down to the fact that just like carrying a heavy backpack, resentment has the capacity to psychologically AND physically increase a person’s sense of burden. So next time you clash with someone, try to let it slide – it might literally up your athletic game!…

And not been able to explain why? Turns out the feels aren’t just in our heads after all. Research shows humans can actually experience physical changes based on how we’re feeling. Warm and fuzzy emotions like love and happiness have been shown to increase our heart rates so much they legit consume our entire being. Crying is our body’s way of regulating these overwhelming thoughts in an effort to calm ourselves down, so we can process these positive situations better. Pretty good reason to pass the tissues, don’t you think?…

The iconic: Lash + Line Our lashes have been batting around this guy for years and they are NOT about to stop. It might have something to do with the fact he’s a multi-purpose prod – a mascara AND eyeliner – which saves us about two minutes of getting ready time and 50 grams in our makeup bags. He’s pretty damn good at hugging the lash line, and lasts all day. ModelCo Lash + Line Superlash Mascara and Liquid Eyeliner, $24 FRUITY BEAUTY It’s nearly summer (sort of), so along with prepping our tans (so much exfoliation), we’re stocking up on prods that smell like the beach/lying in a hammock/being fanned by a palm leaf. Yep, we’re totally judging creams, spritzes and masks by their scents. Soz not soz. 1.…
