Innholdsfortegnelse for November 2017 i Harper's Bazaar Australia

“Richard [Roxburgh] was just hysterical as bingo caller. He wasn’t quite aware of his role in the night until after a few vinos.” 7:00AM I had a quick breakfast at Qualia [resort on Hamilton Island] — poached eggs on salmon with hollandaise and a freshly squeezed watermelon juice, which was delicious. 8:00AM I headed down to the [beachside venue] Outrigger and we just started everything. And I mean everything! There was a wedding there the night before, so it was all hands on deck because we couldn’t do anything earlier. We were putting up the curtains, which I actually made the night before. I was the only seamstress on the island, the only person who could sew, as it’s a dying art. There was an Elna [sewing machine] there, so…

PHILOSOPHY: Fashion is a way of expressing yourself without having to actually speak. STYLE: I would say I dress quite formally a lot of the time, but in an undone way. For example, I love wearing one of my suits worked back with a cool trainer. STAPLE: During the day I’m often in pants, a white shirt and blazer. It’s my work uniform. RESORT 2018 KEY PIECES: Knitwear from our first ever knitwear collection. UP-AND-COMING DESIGNER: Sies Marjan. Their fabrications are beautiful. I also love their atelier in New York. Everything is made in their offices in Midtown. Quite impressive. ACCESSORIES: A new handbag — I am currently tossing up between a yellow tweed Chanel Boy or the pale blue Gucci Sylvie mini chain bag. JEWELLERY: My engagement ring, my…

BLACK & WHITE Graphic stripes and a flurry of texture add depth to Derby Day’s high-contrast dress code. BRIGHTS Lift darker neutral looks with pops of neon, outlandish embellishment and riotous prints. NUDE Neutral accessories with a wink add a playful touch to Stakes Day’s casual atmosphere. METALLIC Delicate headpieces in of-the-moment metallics and shimmering heels transition from Cup to cocktails. PASTEL Jewel-encrusted extras in fresh powder hues provide the ultimate finishing touches to this season’s soft power.…

H &M’s designer collaborations are known for their unpredictability. One year it’s the high glamour of Balmain, the next it’s all about irreverent prints from the Kenzo archive reimagined in intense neon shades. This year the Swedish high street brand has pulled another 180 with the announcement of its collaboration with the wildly romantic London-based designer Erdem Moralıoglu, who is best known for his precious yet unfussy floral and lace pieces. While Erdem perhaps is not a blockbuster name just yet, his thoughtful collection for H&M is made up of beautiful and event-appropriate pieces that women worldwide will want to wear for the party and spring-wedding season. What was on your moodboard for the collection? There were so many images on my moodboard, including photos of my mum and dad…

“Sometimes you want to retreat inwards and not be so outward. That’s where I’m at, this point in life. I just want to be in the moment with my family.” SUPERMODEL, business mogul, billionaire’s wife … you’d assume Miranda Kerr’s Sunday afternoon would be a little less ‘normal’ than everyone else’s. In her perfect feng-shuied Malibu house with its pool and dizzying ocean views, she’d be busy in the kitchen whipping up organic delicacies for her tech-titan husband’s lunch, gliding around dressed in some celestial outfit, makeup-free, her skin luminous. Right? But as the 34-year-old relates last week’s manic schedule over the phone, any preconceived notions of perfection fly out of the window. This new life phase she’s moved into is bliss, but nevertheless bursting at the seams, the…

IF THE RECENT RUNWAYS taught us anything, it’s that natural-looking hair is back in a big way. From slightly tousled to crazy curls, this summer, it’s all about embracing what you were born with. But let’s face it, as laid-back as the trend seems, it’s not a case of get up and go. Even the most lo-fi hairstyles need a little help, whether it’s to boost texture or define your waves. Luckily, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer has you covered. Not only will it tame your mane, but thanks to groundbreaking technology (think intelligent heat control that measures air temperature 20 times a second), your hair won’t suffer from extreme heat damage in the process. The result? Hair that’s chic, shiny and looks healthy. It’s the ultimate triple threat.…

“A client was recently trekking Everest and kept her six products in a cross-body bag because she was paranoid she’d lose them.” LEGEND HAS IT that when a certain award- winning actor with a serious skincare contract (as in multimillion-dollar) left her beauty bag onboard an overnight flight recently, the nosy female cabin crew couldn’t resist taking a peek inside. (Don’t judge. Wouldn’t you want to know the real secret behind her poreless, flawless complexion?) Said rummage revealed numerous black glass bottles and jars, all with their labels painstakingly removed. But one eagle-eyed crew member (an especially radiant one, we might add) recognised the tampered-with packaging straight away. “Rationale,” she whispers to me a few weeks later (courtesy of four glasses of wine, we might add), eyes widening dramatically as…

DIET & FITNESS “I would love to be vegetarian, because of the benefits to the planet, and I’m eating less red meat, but it’s tough.” FAVOURITE CUISINE: Italian and Brazilian. “I grew up on a dairy farm, so I like a good, wholesome meal.” BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS: Chocolate cake. “In Brazil, they eat it for breakfast.” BEAUTY SMOOTHIE: Coconut oil, flaxseed oil, protein powder and chia seeds. “It’s good for your hair and skin.” GO-TO TRAINER: Regular sessions with Justin Gelband at ModelFit in New York. “I’ve been seeing him forever.” GETTING ZEN: Yoga and meditation. “They help me a lot. I keep things simple.” MAKEUP & FRAGRANCE “In my private time, I like to be natural, but on a shoot I want makeup!” ROSY CHEEKS: Benefit Benetint Cheek &…

MY RUNWAY RULES Last season, model mistreatment on the international runways made headline news, so kudos to luxury conglomerates LVMH and Kering, which have drawn up a charter to guarantee the wellbeing of the catwalkers. Underage and underweight is out, with public pledges made to not hire girls under 16 to pose as adult models and ban clothing size 32 (Australian size four). Dedicated psychologists on hand, access to food and drink, strict rules regarding nudity and semi- nudity, and transport home after 8pm are other stipulations that will hopefully mean last season’s dramas aren’t repeated. With social media now giving models a platform from which to whistleblow on bullying and cruelty at work, hopefully other brands will sign the charter and the fashion world becomes a healthier place. What…

VERA BLUE Vera Blue has just finished her fourth Australian tour in two years, with 17 sold-out shows. Her latest album, Perennial, is out now, featuring the singles “Mended”, “Private”, “Hold” and “Settle”, and she is preparing for her Australian summer-festival schedule. verablue.com. ISABELLA MANFREDI The Preatures’ new album, Girlhood, features the title-track single and the standout song “Yanada”, which was co-written with Indigenous Darug songwoman Jacinta Tobin. The band have just completed their Australian tour, will be performing at festivals over the summer and are set to support Foo Fighters. thepreatures.com. STARLEY Starley’s debut single, “Call On Me”, went triple platinum in Australia, hit No. 1 in Sweden and made the top 10 (including streaming) in 30 countries. She will tour the UK with Clean Bandit throughout October and…

“If you present yourself with confidence, you can pull off pretty much anything.”– KATY PERRY singer and Scorpio SCORPIO October 24–November 22  More than most, you know you must make your own luck in life, but Jupiter currently in your sign is raising your good fortune. Jupiter amplifies all it touches so, as it’s alongside love and money planet Venus now, more of both assets may come your way. With Neptune’s help you’re super creative with artistic endeavours and romance. A new moon also in your sign signals a period of self-reinvention. Whoever you want to be, you have your best chance in a decade of making it happen. SAGITTARIUS November 23–December 21  A sense that you have hidden powers is growing within you now that your ruler, Jupiter, is…

Kaila Matthews BAZAAR’s market editor has had a busy month editing the key resort 2018 trends for the pages of “The BAZAAR” and assisting stylist Meg Gray for the shoot “How the Light Gets In” (page 108), which was shot at the Love Cabins in the Blue Mountains near Sydney. “My favourite part of the property was the tiled gecko that looks out over the mountains — not a feature you see every day,” she says. The most comfortable shoes to wear on set are …“sneakers — preferably something to slip in and out of easily. I have my eyes on the Balenciaga Speeds — these would be perfect for set.” The most random thing I’ve ever had to source for a shoot is … “It’s a tie between a…

FANNY PACKS, BUMBAGS … the accessory of choice outside the S/S 2018 shows isn’t chic in name, but the way the 6 style set wore them in New York certainly was. Gucci’s belt bags were by far the most popular and quite literally lived up to their moniker, cinching oversized jackets at the waist, while ’90s styles in camo print or adorned with Supreme logos were worn cross-body. Also much in evidence: Prada’s offerings, which, in defiance of the accessory’s streetwear origins, were worn slung low at the hip over pretty dresses and colourful knits. While it might be hard to shake this humble bag’s daggy ’90s mum associations, its sheer practicality is incredibly alluring. As is its street-style reinvention.…

CHECK IN This eye-catching black-and-white print is perfect for Derby Day, while the lace trim adds a feminine flourish. CLASSIC BEAUTY Keep things simple and elegant with a sleek A-line dress in neutral tones. NEW ROMANTIC Pink hues and fluid shapes make for effortless, feminine glamour. ELEVATE YOUR TRACKSIDE STYLE this spring racing season with BOSS’s latest collection of chic, romantic looks. The sensual edit of muted hues, flowing silhouettes and feminine details is the ultimate go-to for race-day glamour. A black-and-white checked dress — featuring a figure-skimming cut and intricate lace detailing — is perfect for Derby Day, and looks great teamed with a small, sculptural headpiece and bold checked purse. For something more classic, an elegant A-line dress with contrasting sleeves is a versatile option. Channel the season’s…

 KARL LAGERFELD has never made a secret of the fact that the magic of Chanel haute couture wouldn’t be possible without the house’s petites mains. Sometimes their contribution is celebrated in an overt way, such as the time Lagerfeld brought them out of the Chanel ateliers to work on the set of the A/W 2016 haute couture show. And at other times it takes the very lucky wearer of a piece of Chanel couture to fully appreciate the depth of their work, as Georgia Lazzaro recently discovered. “So many aspects struck me, from the weight of all the layers of construction and how that feels so monumental on the body, to the weighted chain hems, the handwritten internal tags denoting the season and style number, to the fact that my…

RULE: Be totally addicated to base. Keep your skin hydrated and uncomplicated, as the more emollients you layer on, the more likely it is that your makeup will slide right off. A simple moisturiser and SPF is all it takes, followed by a multipurpose primer such as Cover FX Blurring Primer [2], $60, which disguises imperfections while giving your skin a base for foundation. Clinique City Block Sheer SPF 25 [4], $40. Guerlain Eye-Stay Primer Smoothing & Long-Wear Eye Primer [1], $44. RULE: Power is powerful. Dewy skin is great in theory, but all too quickly it can turn into a sweaty mess on a warm spring day. This is when a powder can really show its worth, keeping shine at bay via a light dusting around the nose, cheeks,…

MELANIA TRUMP wearing a Jason Wu pinstriped sheath dress to watch the solar eclipse. Michelle Obama at her husband’s 2009 presidential inauguration, wafting about in white chiffon. Style icon Diane Kruger hot on the press campaign trail last May at Cannes Film Festival (where she won the Best Actress award), sporting oversized pinstriped palazzo pants. It’s fair to say the 35-year-old Taiwanese-via-Vancouver-via-New York designer has a long list of famous fans. But for him the career pinnacle has always been perfume … “It has always been a dream of mine to do a fragrance. I’ve done cosmetics, skincare — but a perfume was the ultimate. I’d watch my mother [a bestselling author in Taiwan] get ready in the morning and find her beauty rituals fascinating.” “Jasmine was what I’ve always…

“Recently, in a fit of postpartum hunger, I ordered 10 cartons of Van Leeuwen vegan ice-cream.” 7:00AM On days when I’m not working, I wake up at seven. The first thing I do is change the baby’s diaper. My husband [choreographer Benjamin Millepied] usually makes breakfast for our son, and I’ll join them. I wouldn’t say I’m a morning person. If I didn’t have kids or didn’t have to go to work, I’d probably sleep till noon! But I do work and I do have kids, so I’m up and alert. I’m vegan, so I generally have a very clean diet; I usually have oatmeal or avocado toast in the morning. And Mother’s Milk tea because I’m breastfeeding. Normally I don’t have caffeine, but when I’m working, I’ll drink…

IN LOVE Hand-finished from Pandora Rose, the jeweller’s unique metal blend, this dainty necklace features two heart-shaped padlocks delicately detailed with sparkling stone accents. Wear it solo as a signature piece or layer it with fine chains of differing lengths. Pandora Rose Love Locks charm, $89, and necklace, $65, pandora.net. SWIM STAR Pure Shores 2017/18 is a vibrant swim- and resort wear collection that takes inspiration from all over the world, from deserts to shorelines, flora and fauna, translating to chic athleisure silhouettes. Think radiant prints, head-turning details and colours that beg for the beach. $140, aquablu.com.au. MUST ’DO Goldwell introduces an innovative new in-salon Kerasilk Control De-Frizz Service that tames frizz and beautifies the hair’s natural shape in just one hour. Post-salon, Kerasilk home-care products extend and complement the…

TWENTY-ODD YEARS AGO, when we were young and our kids were small and a romantic weekend à deux in a foreign country required planning worthy of D-Day, my partner, Jonathan, and I booked a modest package holiday from the UK to Lisbon. We found ourselves dining on sardines and vinho verde in a hot, bougainvillea-wreathed courtyard. We’d struck lucky: the 17th-century former Carmelite convent York House turned out to be one of those rare hotels — all the more enigmatic for being so unexpected — that simmer in the memory for years afterwards. When a decade or so later we decided to get married, it seemed the obvious place for a honeymoon. Except that this time around, it was rainy and cold (don’t get married in December in Europe), we…

My longest designer love affair is with Phoebe Philo. No matter where she goes, I follow (and spend). I don’t love crazy prints unless it’s a seasonal favourite; I’m rarely in florals. I always pack La Mer FACE OIL [1] when I travel. I’m often in LEVI’S [5] with a WHITE TEE [2] and Converse. Basic is always best. I love Gucci for STATEMENT SHOES [3]. This MASK [4] hydrates my blonde locks. I really want The Row’s VELVET POUCH [6] in navy — perfect to dress up a blazer and jeans by day, and add a vintage twist to a sexy gown by night. I’m dying to own my first pair of MANOLOS [7]. I like dangerously unbuttoned shirts flashing a LACE BRA [8]. I bought some Sophie Bille…

“I love vintage shopping and casual looks, maybe because I come from Biarritz and it’s a surfi ng way of life.” THE SARTORIAL TROPES of the chic Parisian woman are as well worn as they are loved. After years of dissecting the formula (classic + slightly undone + red lips), could there truly be any more to mine from a low-key, minimalist aesthetic such as this? In studying the style of French blogger Anne-Laure Mais, the answer is a resounding ‘oui’. Based between Paris and London, the Biarritz-born beauty behind the eight-year-old blog Adenorah has a style as refreshing as an Atlantic breeze. The signifiers of La Parisienne are there, of course, in flawless cuts that fall away from the body just so, the seemingly unstudied balance of coquettishness and…

GLAM-LEISURE If the encore of luxe tracksuit pants is anything to go by, no one wants to get out of them — unless it’s to change into a new and even more luxurious pair. The likes of Valentino and Gucci have drawn on hip-hop references for resort, while Monse and Maggie Marilyn’s take is more retro track-and-field. STATEMENT SOCKS Socks with sandals are having a moment thanks to Gucci and para.The bolder the better QUIRKY FLORAL Antique and vintage florals will be a summer fixture thanks to the likes of Ellery, Marni, Roksanda and Gucci. Their appeal is clear — unapologetic nostalgia, whether your bag is the swinging ’60s, antique Indian prints or patchwork homespun florals. THE CARDIGAN The humble cardie reaches hero status this season. It’s all about an…

THE ONE Dare to be different in a floating top turned dress teamed with co-ordinating briefs — perfect for poolside cocktails. AQUA BLU Savannah Goddess dress, $150. TAKE THE PLUNGE A daring neckline is kept chic with long sleeves and grown-up florals. AQUA BLU Flowerbomb Flora one-piece swimsuit, $140. GOOD SPORT Embrace the athleisure trend with an action-ready two-piece. Removable straps mean you can work it your own way. AQUA BLU Flowerbomb T-bar top, $80; Flowerbomb crossover pants, $57. Forget everything you know (and hate) about swimwear. Australian label Aqua Blu is reinventing the summer staple courtesy of eye-catching prints, clever cuts and form-fitting shapes. Feminine yet strong, glamorous yet effortless, it’s swimwear that makes its wearer stand out from the crowd, in the best possible way. “With…

HELENA CHRISTENSEN enters the studio wearing a colourful vintage Mexican folk dress, a pair of Tkees flip-flops and a Hello Kitty basket tote bag. “I just found this website of a woman who travels through Mexico and buys beautiful vintage pieces, and this just came in the mail,” Christensen says of her newly acquired dress. “Can you believe it? How cool is this?” she continues, glowing with childlike excitement — the bright outfit instantly appearing as a perfect projection of her personality. “I always stay a child inside,” says Christensen, 48. “I always stay very curious about life. Sometimes I actually think to myself, ‘Should you not try to grow up soon and be like an actual adult?’ Even my son sometimes says, ‘Mum, can you just reply to me,…

BORA BORA  With the ever-chic Coqui Coqui franchise about to open up a residence on this tiny South Pacific island, we are dreaming about packing our bags and jetting off to this utopia. If its Mexican predecessor is anything to go by, the new digs will call for a fresh tan to complement the whitewashed interiors, and plenty of products to hydrate your salty skin. RAVELLO  Sitting high in the hills above the Amalfi, this quaint Italian town is steeped in a rich cultural history and restrained glamour. Back in 1938, Hollywood star Greta Garbo escaped to a villa here, inspiring Eau d’Italie’s Rosa Greta fragrance, which lives on in her memory. Pair this fragrant trail of Ravello roses with a simple tousle of the hair, a light tinted moisturiser…

IS FAUX TAN STILL A THING? Working in an office building with a majority population of women has its perks, sure. Tampon crises are short-lived, snacks are abundant and the morning lift ride comes with a live synopsis of the previous night’s Bachelor episode. The cons? Come Friday each week, what feels like the entire building is lacquered up with a fresh coat of faux tan. Be it a sneaky lunch-break spray or an overnight treatment, no amount of Aesop Post-Poo Drops can disguise the scent of St. Tropez trailing down the hallways. That distinct aroma is so familiar because the core tanning ingredient, dihydroxyacetone (or DHA), has remained relatively unchanged since it was first created. Jacqueline Burchell, global product development director for St. Tropez, explains: “While improvements in the quality…

“Heat clearly has the potential to negatively impact the skin, and the term ‘thermal ageing’ was coined to reflect that.” – Dr Jacqueline Hill In my body-beautiful-obsessed neighbourhood, rife with boutique studios, there’s one workout everyone’s especially fixated on right now. Heated vinyasa yoga. And I get it. The moving meditation aspect is bliss, the 30-degree-plus temperature adds an extra intensity, and as for my newly chiselled chaturanga arms … sorry, but you just don’t get that kind of shredding from a plain old push-up. Yet something has definitely happened to my skin. And it’s not good. Pigmentation patches. Pronounced jowls. And a crepiness on my forearms and lower legs that, despite regular dunks in vats of shea butter, still looks dry. A sweat-fest, whether it be in a heated…

Driving to meet Samantha Cameron in the English Cotswolds, I try to imagine what an ex-prime minister’s country house is like. Palatial, hi-spec, minimalist? In the end, it turns out to be much more low-key, a quintessentially English cottage, complete with roses climbing the facade, a flourishing vegetable patch and a trampoline in the garden. The armed guards and security cameras that encircle the property are the only clue to the identity of its occupants. Samantha is sitting in the cream-coloured living room, surrounded by piles of magazines and books (including the Enid Blyton parody Five on Brexit Island). Slim and elegant, she is dressed in a navy and maroon mididress from her eight-month-old fashion label, Cefinn, and offers a warm welcome of tea and macarons. In one corner is…
