Innholdsfortegnelse for July 2018 i Vogue Australia

Given the modelling and celebrity power force she has become, it is funny to think that when we published Gigi Hadid’s first Vogue Australia cover in June 2015, we felt the need to describe her as a ‘social supermodel’. She is a serious success and wears the layers of the season’s exaggerated knits and coats in the most appealing way. If you are a huge Gigi fan, we have also printed a limited-edition special one-off cover (above), available for purchase only online and sure to become a collector’s item. Go to Vogue.com.au for details. This month, we also feature the beautiful Australian actress Yvonne Strahovski, who has been captivating audiences as the captivating Mrs Waterford in The Handmaid’s Tale. In May, Yvonne was in Melbourne to shoot Angel of Mine,…

When Calvin Klein sent an acid-yellow faux-fur coat, wrapped in transparent vinyl, down the runway as part of its autumn/winter ’17/’18 collection, there was a certain amount of Raf Simons wit (oh, how Americans love to wrap everyday things in plastic!), but there was something else at play. More than just a show centrepiece, it showcased fake fur in a new way. The quality, Raf Simon’s right-hand-man Pieter Mulier explained, was of utmost importance, with the vinyl handstitched onto the lush pile beneath. “It’s couture,” he told the New York Times of the care given to wrap and protect the entirely acrylic fur beneath. Are we to make of it, then, that faux fur has become precious, prized in the way real fur once was? When blue-chip names like Gucci,…

Their names are Roberta, Paola, and Sandra. They are here not in person, but in wardrobe form – tailored sleeves, sharp shoulders, patent shoes, a belt – in the archive warehouse of Italian label MaxMara on the cusp of city Reggio Emilia’s historical centre in northern Italy. “When she passed away she donated to me two coats,” says Laura Lusuardi, MaxMara’s fashion director, gesturing at a collection of cream tailoring and mixed prints, from Chanel to Zandra Rhodes and Ossie Clark. “This is her personal wardrobe; she only bought MaxMara,” she continues about another. “She auctioned her clothing in Milan, but it was too quick. I couldn’t keep up so I didn’t buy anything, but I had fun,” she remembers as she moves between the racks, drawing back black curtains…

I come from a long line of technically minded female leaders. My great-grandmother was the first woman to drive a car from Sydney to Melbourne, my grandmother was one of Australia’s few female doctors back in the 1940s, and my mum is a botanist and climate scientist. Science was part of growing up. It wouldn’t be uncommon for us to go on a beach holiday with canisters of liquid nitrogen in the back of the car, or suddenly pull over at roadside cuttings to take rock samples driving on a highway. They weren’t just family holidays – they were field trips. I always felt strongly encouraged to pursue science and technology, something I now know is rare. It was then positively rebellious that I chose not to. I had an…

Type ‘new season beauty’ into the Google search bar and chances are you’ll be met with something you like. Something that feels like you. Because whether it’s a splash of glitter, bold holographic lips, feathery brows, a frizzed-out mane or deliberately bare skin, beauty has pivoted into uncharted territory without a road map or a care in the world. While it may be one of the most overworked words in the fashion and beauty industry today, ‘disruption’ also happens to be the most fitting for the mood sweeping the beauty industry right now. Think fierce founders, innovative formulas, creative thinking and, yes, even Rihanna. Welcome to beauty in 2018.…

VIOLETTE, ESTÉE LAUDER GLOBAL BEAUTY DIRECTOR The French-born make-up artist has infused a laissez-faire aesthetic into the heritage beauty house with her effortless approach to beauty and her penchant for red lips. LUCIA PICA, CHANEL GLOBAL CREATIVE MAKE-UP AND COLOUR DIRECTOR Pica’s affection for red tones and bold colour palettes has injected a decidedly modern edge to the Chanel offering since she took the helm in 2015 as a relatively under-the-radar artist. LISA ELDRIDGE, LANCÔME GLOBAL CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND MAKE-UP Widely respected within the industry and beyond for her celebrity and editorial portfolio as well as her approachable make-up commentary via YouTube, Eldridge was one of the first of a new guard of creative directors.…

Shoulders, legs, midriff, arms, neck, back, boobs and … brains. Just like accessories, fashion’s erogenous zones change with the seasons. But the latest must-have can’t be bought or borrowed. You can’t buy a cheap knock-off on the high street, either. In fact, it may take even longer to attain than a Birkin bag (waitlist: approximately six years). Welcome to the designer brain. While slow fashion is hot, slow thinking is not. And a beautiful mind has become the most covetable accessory of them all. It’s a trend that has been building steadily. Christopher Kane caught our attention in 2013 by embroidering colourful MRI scans on silk organza tops and dresses. The same year, Oscar-winning actor George Clooney fell in love with a brilliant human rights lawyer called Amal Alamuddin. And…

Those cargo pants of spring/summer ’02 Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière were a turning point. For the women of 15 years ago, they marked the before and after in her wardrobe. It was the 10th anniversary of the Gulf War that inspired the French designer to release the Desert Storm-themed staple, but the novelty factor came in the styling: the cargo was not to be worn like a trooper in Iraq but instead with stiletto heels and the skimpiest patchwork top. Black Hawk Down , the Ridley Scott film, premiered the same month the Balenciaga collection hit the stores, sending a clear message: the look was in the Zeitgeist and it was there to stay. Two seasons later, the cargo sparked record sales for Gap and to this day, it remains…

It was a golden night in May when Kylie Minogue celebrated her 50th birthday with a star-studded party at London’s Chiltern Firehouse. Gold is the 50th anniversary symbol, and the theme was embraced with plentiful golden balloons, the birthday girl’s shimmery dress, and a golden line-up of Minogue’s famous friends from Australia and abroad. Guests included her former Neighbours alumni Jason Donovan, Guy Pearce and Natalie Imbruglia, plus Minogue’s former Stock Aitken Waterman label-mate Rick Astley, who serenaded her with a mash-up of hits before Kylie took to the stage to sing songs including Love At First Sight. Other guests included authors Kathy Lette and Salman Rushdie, actor Joel Edgerton, Vogue Australia’s Christine Centenera, Jake Spears from the Scissor Sisters, Graham Norton, David Walliams and Chrissie Hynde. Minogue also debuted…

Leo 23 JULY – 23 AUGUST You could feel a little mixed up this month. Double-check everything you do, say, Insta or text, and be sure to check your travel plans to avoid delays. A close work or love partnership could benefit from renegotiation now, and the clarity this brings spills over into a sense of freedom that hits you where you live. STYLE ICON: Meghan Markle Virgo 24 AUGUST – 22 SEPTEMBER What you thought you wanted might turn out to be something else you hadn’t even considered this month. Launch plans anyway, as it’s your best time to start something new, but get as much information as you can. How you nurture yourself also needs a fresh approach, but romance or flying solo all feels easy now. STYLE…

GIAMPAOLO SGURA As one of the most photographed women in the world, it comes as no surprise that Gigi Hadid is a complete pro in front the camera. For our cover shoot, photographer Giampaolo Sgura says the eldest Hadid sister was a dream to work with. “Gigi defied my expectations … obviously I knew she was a top girl at the top of her game, and I was also so impressed with how professional and easy she was,” he says of working with her. “We photographed her in the most natural way to highlight her real beauty. No make-up, no hair, no fancy lighting … just Gigi the woman and her personality.” LUCA CANTIELLO & MARIANNA MILANA Assisting the Vogue team on set when they travelled to MaxMara’s headquarters in…

DOTTED ALL OVER First rule: don’t err with a careful approach. Treating leopard as a neutral is the way to harnessing the print’s powerful visual effect, so wear it in recognisable tailored shapes – and wait for the compliments to roll in. LADY IS FIERCE The contrast between the tidy silhouette of a skirt suit and the print’s wild associations makes for an alluring tension. ANIMAL MAGNETISM This time it’s not all about looking back with nostalgia, and instead pushing on in supersized accessories that pump up otherwise minimalist silhouettes. SKIN DEEP Early adopters hear this: stockinged feet in second-skin spots will set you apart, and that’s exactly what to strive for this season. SEEING SPOTS Leopard has long been the go-to pattern of the ingénue. A hint peeking out…

VOGUE CODES Leila Janah is, for the briefest of moments, back in her head office in San Francisco’s Mission district. Brief, because having just returned from a rare four-day holiday in Bali, she’s about to head to Hong Kong for work before making a trip to Europe. “Jet lag is a kind of norm for me, sadly. I’m good with it, but I don’t really have a choice, and with two companies and a book …” she trails off, with a shrug. Right now she is fitting in a take-away lunch during our interview, for which she apologises profusely, but such is the day-to-day of a serial social impact entrepreneur. “I don’t love travelling as much for work, but I love achieving our mission and it requires that, so it’s…

EMILY WEISS, GLOSSIER If millennials had a beauty poster girl, it would most certainly be Emily Weiss. The 33-year-old founder and CEO of Glossier has amassed a modern-day beauty tribe whose members’ opinions inform the latest launches of her pink-packaged offerings, which include second-skin tints, no-fuss skincare and, most recently, fragrance. CHARLOTTE TILBURY Before creating her namesake line in 2013, the ever-charming Tilbury was on speed dial for celebrities like Kate Moss (who is also a close friend) and Gisele Bündchen ahead of a red carpet appearances. Many of the products in her line, including Magic Cream and Eyes to Mesmerise, have garnered cult status, thanks to their expert textures and brilliant colour pay-off. TIFFANY MASTERSON, DRUNK ELEPHANT A relative newcomer, Drunk Elephant is the brainchild of Tiffany Masterson. The…

A way from New York, Gigi Hadid is looking out of the window at her mother’s farm. It is mid-May, and after a busy winter and spring – personally and professionally – there’s change afoot. “It’s so nice to see everything green again after the winter,” says Hadid over the phone. There’s mint and lavender planted, and vegetables which Hadid’s mother, Yolanda, started growing last year. “Onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and red capsicums – a lot of things I regularly cook with.” They are waiting for apples, which are due in autumn. Although she was too busy for the planting, Hadid assures me she’ll be back for the harvest. “For sure. Being in nature defines me a lot.” For all those bright lights and glittery Versace dresses (Hadid wore a Versace…

Serena Joy Waterford may be a fictional character – and a cold-hearted, brutal, vengeful one at that – but so believable is Australian actress Yvonne Strahovski in portraying her and her infertile state in The Handmaid’s Tale that when Strahovski tells me she’s pregnant, it’s hard not to shout “Praise be!” The breakout star of the Hulu original series is delighting in discussing her hitherto closely guarded secret, giving her first interview to Vogue Australia since announcing on Instagram in mid-May that she and her husband, actor Tim Loden, were expecting their first child. “I’ve been dying to talk about it,” Strahovski enthuses, before confiding the concerns she had for her unborn baby during the recent shooting of season two of The Handmaid’s Tale, given the unrelenting sadism and seething…

Gigi Hadid was only just starting to catch the eye of the international fashion scene when she covered our June 2015 issue. Not yet a household name, and definitely not the force of nature she is at present, the then 20-year-old model was on her way to big things. Fast-forward three years and Hadid is perhaps the biggest name in the fashion world. But even in 2015, the model wasn’t immune to the allure of Instagram fame. Speaking to Vogue’s Zara Wong (who also interviewed her for this issue’s cover), Hadid was aware of her social pull, revealing that being a role model was one of her top priorities: “I feel like being true to the people who follow you is being a good role model, because they are following…

I am moving into this Cristal Carrington era of my life, definitely!” proclaims Nathalie Kelley, referring to the character she played on the revamped Dynasty television series. She’s dressed for Vogue in a head-to-toe Versace look of jacket, skirt, blouse and leggings and a red Gucci pantsuit (her favourite look), an outfit that has the exuberance of the original Dynasty of the 1980s, but with the irreverence of the new series. Because, yes, on the show, there’s Cristal’s nemesis Fallon (Elizabeth Gillies) wearing Alexander McQueen and a lot of Gucci, or Kelley herself wearing buzzy brands like Galvan, Annie Costello Brown, Johanna Ortiz, Attico and Magda Butrym. “If you had told me there would be so many years of rejection and heartbreak, I may have thought twice about it” “Being…

The trick to getting to the heart of a woman’s style is rarely to ask her outright to describe it; fashion’s most admired are often stumped when asked to define their own sensibilities. Yasmin Sewell is perhaps a little different, being one who has long attracted street style photographer’s lenses across nearly two decades working as a buyer and consultant, and has been asked to talk about it on more than one occasion. Add to that her current role as Farfetch’s vice-president of style and creative, and she has had to learn to nail things quickly for twice-yearly trips to fashion week, meaning a whittling of her style down to key tropes has been a must. “It is really fun for me, as it’s a time when I get to…

If we were handing out awards for MVP of winter, it would have to go to fashion: huggable cashmere and voluptuous layers are forgiving. The same can’t be said of our skin. The cold front brings with it a host of concerns, such as dehydration, irritation and redness, that are unmistakably etched across our complexions. Before you prematurely bid farewell to glowing skin, adopt a few simple swap-outs, super-charged treatments and souped-up products that will see you through the dry spell. Slough away summer “There is a misconception that you should avoid exfoliating in winter, when in fact the skin needs it to remove dry dead cells,” says Sydney-based facialist Jocelyn Petroni. But it’s important to keep in mind that exfoliating isn’t a one-step process: it’s just as important to…

FENTY BEAUTY When pop star Rihanna launched Fenty Beauty last year, she single-handedly ignited a much-needed conversation around diversity, particularly when it comes to foundation. The collection included 40 shades, with many selling out in Sephora within hours of the launch. COVERGIRL What do 70-year-old Maye Musk, Katy Perry, teenager James Charles and motorbike superstar Shelina Moreda all have in common? They’re all CoverGirl ambassadors and their appointments mark a turning point for beauty brands to engage spokepersons who represent a diverse range of ages, races, sexualities and interests. LANCÔME Lancôme was quick to assert that, when it comes to foundation, a spectrum consisting only of light, medium and dark is an outdated philosophy. Like Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty, last year’s launch of Teint Idole Ultra Wear featured 40 customisable shades…

A holographic lip gloss topped with a pink Karl Lagerfeld bobble-head applicator, or an eyeshadow palette in the silhouette of Choupette, Lagerfeld’s famous pet cat, are probably both items you didn’t think you would ever need. But that’s exactly what Shelley Sullivan, founder and CEO of beauty brand ModelCo, has built an entire career on. “Creating something women want before they know they want it is a philosophy we use every day,” says the 44-year-old. For Sullivan, that manifested in a first-to-market heated eyelash curler, which she launched in 2002 and which became an immediate sell-out. The curler was closely followed by a nifty aerosol self-tan – revolutionary in the early naughts, when finger-paint-effect tangerine faux tans ruled. A can of ModelCo’s ground-breaking Tan Airbrush in a Can now sells…

It was a bright December morning in Edinburgh and Leeanne Hundleby was enjoying a day off from Strathberry, the small Scottish bag brand she runs with her husband, Guy. Then the phone rang. “You’d better come in,” said Guy, calling from the office. “We think Meghan’s wearing one of our bags.” It was their A$870 midi-tote tricolour in green, and Meghan was, of course, the newly engaged royal-to-be out on her first public engagement with Prince Harry. What followed was a fashion frenzy. The brand, which sells directly to customers on its website, experienced a 5,000 per cent sales bump. Eleven minutes after Markle stepped out with the bag, it had sold out. “It was the craziest day we’ve ever had,” says Hundleby. Each time stocks were replenished, the bags…

In celebration of its 20th anniversary, GQ Australia held its inaugural GQ Ball, and what a positively chic night it was. Presented by Penfolds Max’s and held at The Ormond Collective in Melbourne, the gala was hosted by The Project’s Hamish MacDonald, who welcomed game-changing Australian men, including Earth Hour founder and CEO of Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef Andy Ridley, Olympic gold medallist Mack Horton, designer Lukas Vincent and entrepreneur Jack Delosa to the stage to chat about what it means to be a successful, productive gentleman in the current social climate. Guests at the GQ Ball – which was supported by Harrolds, BMW and Paco Rabanne – included actress Teresa Palmer and her husband Mark Webber, model and activist Jarrod Scott, Olympic snowboarder Scotty James, actor Jackson…
