It’s a question I’ve been asked several times in relation to my career as a journalist:what would you tell your younger self? Each time I’m asked I’m never tempted to cut-and-paste the same answer, because my response changes, as life is continuously changing and I never stop learning along the way. Last month, Women’s Agenda asked me this question and this time I wrote:“Hard work is what it will take. There are no short cuts and there won’t be a clear career path, so be prepared to take what seems like several detours. Listen and learn while on those detours because expanding your skill set is not going to hold you back, it will open more doors. Advice will come your way,which you can take onboard or dismiss. Trust your…

6:30AM I live in both NewYork and Los Angeles, so it depends on where I am, but I wake up between 6:30 and 8. I’ve slept only six hours a night since my sixties. We require less sleep, I’ve read. If I’m off travelling and outside diving or trekking all day, I try to sleep more. Your body needs rejuvenation. I usually wake up without an alarm. I have this weird thing I’ve developed: I almost always know what time it is, night or day. I like it. It makes me feel connected with life. 7:30AM After I brush my teeth and comb my hair, I take a weather check to see what the day’s life can be. Also for dressing. Then I do a speed makeup, six to nine…

“I was doing my preview interview backstage and they just asked me to do it — I thought they were taking the piss,” Jo Ellison recalls with a laugh, warming up a perfectly clipped British accent. “They” is Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, and “it” is walking in their A/W 2017 catwalk show. “I was like,‘Ah, no,’ and they just didn’t take me seriously. Before I knew what I was doing, I was sitting in a makeup chair. ” Understandably reluctant — Ellison normally spends her time at the shows reporting from the side of the runway, as opposed to on it — the Financial Times fashion editor was chosen as part of a line-up that included English aristocrats and celebrity progeny considered ‘friends’ of the brand. Don’t be fooled,…

Great outdoors The likes of Alessandro Michele at Gucci and Jonathan Anderson at Loewe looked to outdoor pursuits such as hiking and gardening to inspire their latest offerings. That means cosy knitwear in English moss greens, Queen Elizabeth-worthy headscarfs and American plaids — all perfect for tramping up hill and down dale. DRESS OF THE SEASON It’s high-necked and nipped at the waist, with just the right amount of volume in the sleeve. A little bit ’70s;a lot versatile. GRANDMA FLORALS These are your nanna’s florals and they’ve been made fresh again by the likes of CHRISTOPHER KANE, who clashed them with spacey silhouettes, and StuartVevers at COACH 1941, who incorporated them into oversized puffer jackets for his youthful customer. Velvet The luxurious fabric was made up into everything from…

It’s scary how a tiny pocket of fat under the chin can zap a woman’s confidence, but a new injection promises to remedy that. BAZAAR fashion director NAOMI SMITH plays guinea pig in a bid to no longer see double “What she’s injecting is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a molecule that occurs naturally in the body and disrupts and dissolves fat-cell membranes. ” I like to think I’m relatively comfortable and level-headed when it comes to how I look, despite working in an image-driven job in which I’m surrounded by models on a daily basis. But one thing I’ve always been self-conscious about is my jawline. I have a normal BMI and although my weight fluctuates a little — like any woman’s — I’ve had this excess…

“Like modern monks — but with Wi-Fi and wheelie suitcases — we go on retreat where we meditate, eat simply, go to bed early and reflect on where we are and where we have to go.” CHURCHES USED TO BE IMPORTANT. It’s hard to understate just how central they were a mere generation ago, particularly if, like my people, you lived in a country town. They were where you made friends, socialised, met your partner, networked for jobs and got assistance when times got tough. If you were poor you could get food, clothes and money; young couples went there for marriage counselling;refugees came for English language lessons. You were born into a church, educated by them and buried in them. You kept the cycle going by bringing your children…

Jo Strettell “Emily is adorable, loving, confident, super friendly, sweet and enthusiastic, which, if even possible, shows her insane beauty even more,” says the makeup artist who created Ms Ratajkowski’s look for our cover. “The look for this shoot was natural, bare and glowing, so I focused on tanning her a little, then adding a sun-kissed glow with cream bronzers and shimmers. And no mascara. ” The three products I always take on set with me are … “Kevyn Aucoin’s The Celestial Skin Liquid Lighting — it boosts the skin with shaping light; Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow — I have the whole range of shades to create any mood, applied as a powder, then intensified by adding water and applied as liner or block colour; and my L’Oréal Voluminous mascara. The…

“To this day, I feel awkward saying I’M AN AUTHOR. I’m constantly anxious someone is going to call me out for not being good enough.” WHENI WAS29, I started to write something that later became my first novel. It began as the voice of a single character sitting next to her husband, who was in a coma. I would sit in cafes, nursing a large flat white, and write without any clear notion of where I was going with it. The thing I remember most clearly about this time is the sense of utter fraudulence. I didn’t have a book deal in place and I was writing into a vacuum, taking a gamble that someone, somewhere, might be interested. It seemed grotesquely arrogant. Although I had spent several years earning…

Classic trenches, parkas, zip-throughs … the street style at this year’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia was a low-key affair. But don’t for a second think it was pedestrian. Instead, showgoers elevated their looks with statement accessories. Think: Net-a-Porter’s Lisa Aiken, who styled a Joseph trench skirt with checked Altuzarra mules; and designer Kym Ellery, who wore a navy skirt and bomber jacket with her own take on the go-go boot. Likewise, model Montana Cox opted for head-to-toe beige, but her laced-up accessories added a sporty edge to the otherwise understated look.…

“The imperfection is the beauty … You feel that there is a story behind it. ” “A BAG KEEPS ALL YOUR SECRETS,” Silvia Venturini Fendi says. “If you open the bag of a woman,you can tell so much. ”As intrigued as I might be, I’m not quite game enough to ask what’s inside hers. In fact, I don’t remember seeing a bag at all during our interview in Sydney’s Park Hyatt, which is ironic given Fendi, who has been the creative director for accessories of the house that bears her family name since 1994 (she’s also across menswear and childrenswear), is the force behind Fendi’s greatest bag hits, including the Peekaboo, the 2Jours and, most famously, the Baguette. The designer flew into Sydney to celebrate the launch of the brand’s…

“I have two glass ceilings to break — being a woman and also being a black woman. Overcoming those obstacles has made me stronger. ” “MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON WHAT YOU WANT, NOT WHAT YOU’RE SCARED OF. ”– NATASHA LIU BORDIZZO 20 Madeleine Madden actor, 20 “I see myself as a vessel for stories, and with my career I have the opportunity to live different lives, see different worlds and jump back and forth in time. I just finished my last day of shooting for Picnic at Hanging Rock; I think this adaptation will really resonate because we dived deeper into the story of these women. In the film they are these ethereal girls, but we show how women were being suppressed and objectified at the time, and that’s something…

“THE FIRST DAY ON SET [with Sofia Coppola] was like being among family. I was like, ‘You guys all know each other?’ and they were like, ‘We have worked with Sofia from the beginning.’” COURTNEY EATION is living the Hollywood dream. The 21-year-old is scoring big movie parts after her breakout role in Mad Max: Fury Road, fits modelling jobs between movie projects, has a hot musician/actor boyfriend and right now is starring in a new short film created by Oscar-winning writer and director Sofia Coppola. The irony is Eaton wasn’t even dreaming of Hollywood back in Bunbury,Western Australia, where she grew up. “When I got cast in Max Max I was 16, turning 17, and I was following the path of modelling. Honestly, I had no idea…

“When I speak about Gabrielle, I’m speaking about something more intimate she had with herself. Who she was at the core.”– OLIVIER POLGE AMONG THE NUGGETS OF TRUTH, there’s also a hefty dose of mystery associated with the rags-to-riches story of Coco Chanel. Probably due to the countless films, biographies and even picture books she inspired. Talk about page-turning stuff. Daddy’s disappearing act. Orphanage upbringing. A fashion genius intent on creating her own fortune. The femme fatale with a weakness for incorrigible womanisers. You couldn’t script this plot-twister if you tried. Even the name Coco seems straight out of a Disney film. Just as one of her flawlessly constructed jackets would be pieced together, taken apart and restitched, it was a nickname she embraced professionally somewhat reluctantly from about the…

EYE EYE Supersitious? Fendi’s menacing monster eyes are the ultimate protection talisman on the slopes if you’re freaked out by kamikaze snowboarders. Either that or a non-subtle means of signalling your displeasure at chairlift queue-jumpers. Try Fendi’s super-cosy ski jacket, $3190, net-a-porter.com net-a-porter. com. FRESH PERSPECTIVE A little sweat never hurt anyone, but when we’re on the treadmill, we like to keep our phone, cash, keys and cards dry and safely stashed away in Neo-Preen’s chic perspiration-proof Eclipse Mini clutch, $59, neo-preen.com. ADD TO CART Odd, isn’t it? Scientists can build an artificial pancreas, yet none can yet lay claim to inventing an awesome sports bra. (Priorities, people.) They’re either clunky to do up, have rock-solid cups or flatten you like a pancake. Enter lululemon’s Enlite Bra, $99. It’s engineered…

 It’s always interesting when someone has to explain what they do for a living twice … and you still can’t quite put your finger on what it is they do day to day. Slouched on her baby-soft tan leather bespoke banquette in her newly renovated dining room, sharing a plate of salted caramel peanut butter cookies, Claire Fabb explains — again — what she does. She’s used to it. It’s like that when you merge digital influence with corporate consulting and add a dose of design. Her hugely successful business, Style by Yellow Button, is a booming online entity with its fingers in many pies, and I want to know how she created it. “The things that surround you and how they make you feel — that’s what a home…

SUMMER TRACEY WITHERS discovers why Aspen is becoming the jet set’s favourite new warm-weather getaway ARIAH WINTERS IN ASPEN. Drew Barrymore does summer. I’m chasing the hedonist chill that pulls a festival crowd of foodies, counter-culture libertines, free thinkers and high-end drinkers to a ski town in summer. I want the Aspen nobody really tells you about. I’ve set up at the historic luxe Hotel Jerome, legendary haunt of artists and writers including Hunter S. Thompson, and, yes, I’m going gonzo. It’s said 3000 private jets jostle for parking over the three days of foodie Coachella, the Aspen Food &Wine Classic. Still, the tycoons are incognito at the Cochon Heritage Fire cook-out at Snowmass Village. In summer, the dress code is strictly stealth wealth: Mara Hoffman resort, fringed Chloé…

My style is always evolving, but my most consistent look is minimalist and modern. WIDE-LEGGED PANTS [1] are always flattering. Although I wear a lot of black and white [2, 14], I also like EMBROIDERY [9] and EMBELLISHMENTS [5,6]. Earrings are my SIGNATURE STATEMENT [3]. This JACKET [4] represents coolness and rebellion, and I can wear it with anything. Karen Walker makes my FAVOURITE SUNGLASSES [7]. I love a LONG SILHOUETTE [8]. My shoes often add an element of SURPRISE [10] to an understated outfit. I love the literary references chosen for this FRAGRANCE [11]. This bag is like a TREASURE CHEST [12] that can carry all my secrets. ORIBE SHAMPOO [13] keeps the yellow tones at bay. SCULPTURAL JEWELLERY[15] completes my look.…

“In order to ‘LEAN IN’ at work, women should correspondingly ‘LEAN BACK’ at home.” I am at home at 10am because the front-door lock fell off. The locksmith, booked by my other half before he headed off to work, is set to come in the time slot between 9am and eternity. While I’m consigned to daytime domesticity, I might as well pop the washing on, scrub some mud off a teenager’s rugby boot and try to get the long-delayed electrician in. Now, where were we with the emails I would have dashed off in the first half hour in the office? None of this would happen to Tiffany Dufu, a prominent American feminist, who is the author of a compelling book, Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less. Women,…

The designer, whose brand is the epitome of good taste and practicality (just ask her No. 1 fan, Miroslava Duma) grew up on a sheep farm in Uruguay, so she was always going to be a strong candidate for the International Woolmark Prize. Now, after winning the womenswear category, announced in Paris in January, Hearst releases her eponymous collection at David Jones this month. And it’s a goodie. BAZAAR caught up with her and found out that what she doesn’t know about wool probably isn’t worth knowing. HARPER’S BAZAAR: What did you learn about wool from your time on a Uruguayan sheep farm? GABRIELA HEARST: There are merino growers on both sides of my family. My maternal family was one of the first to bring merino to Uruguay. One of…

Is it just us, or is everybody launching their own online label? Be it a swimwear collection or — one we see a lot — a beauty line, brands no longer need mountains of seed money to see an idea materialise. It’s simply a case of finding a minimalist website template, launching a pretty Instagram account and generating a waiting list before you’ve sold a single product. It’s the democratisation of business. New York-based Emily Weiss is the poster child of this new generation of digital-savvy brands. After establishing her famous beauty blog, Into The Gloss, she launched Glossier in 2014, an edit of skincare and makeup products — and she’s since grown it into a multimillion-dollar company. She designs all of her products knowing that her customers will share…

1. HYALURONIC ACID REMEDIES DEHYDRATION. FALSE: “Not on its own, anyway,” Petroni says. “While it is fantastic and can hold 1000 times its own weight in water, when applied topically, each molecule tends to sit on the surface, so you really need to top it with an oil or moisturiser that’ll lock it in. ” 2. MOISTURISERS CAN’T HYDRATE BECAUSE THEY’RE TOO THICK TO PENETRATE THE SKIN. FALSE: “A moisturiser will definitely help with hydration because it helps to lock in the existing water in the skin. The heavier the moisturiser, the better it will work. ” Try Sisley Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream, $230. 3. WATER-BASED CREAMS HYDRATE YOUR SKIN. FALSE:“A lot of those water-based moisturisers evaporate off the skin before the end of the day,…

DANA STEPHENSEN, BALLET DANCER Staying strong is crucial for this 32-year-old soloist with The Australian Ballet — her body is her career. But when Stephensen was in her early twenties, frequent bouts of tonsillitis, multiple digestive issues, hormonal disturbances, fainting, lethargy, depression and weight gain made dancing six days a week virtually impossible. Later diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune thyroid condition, she understands her health is even more of a priority now. DAY ON A PLATE: “I drink warm water with lemon then eat breakfast, usually rice porridge with flaxseed, tahini and coconut oil or toast with protein. My almond- or rice milk latte is essential. Lunch at 3pm between rehearsals and performance is my biggest meal. On a good day it’s brown rice, salmon or chicken and steamed…
