SINCE I WAS A KID I have been passionate about fashion — obsessed with fashion, as my mum loves to tell my daughters. So in 2012, when I became editor of one of the most powerful fashion media brands in the world, it was hard to believe. It was a pinch-me moment. A pinch-me-100-times moment! It was a dream I dared not have, as it seemed so impossible. The moral is: dare to dream. Which brings me to the incredible milestone Harper’s BAZAAR Australia celebrates this month: our 20th anniversary. How do you celebrate such a milestone? Two decades of fabulous fashion moments, pop culture trends, breathtaking photography and radical change. To be in the editor’s chair at this point of BAZAAR’s history is an amazing gift, so when the…

9.00AM On my perfect Saturday, I don’t set an alarm. If I make it to nine, that’s the dream. I can get ready in five minutes, but getting out of bed takes forever. I’ll lie around and check Instagram and listen to music. I really like Stormzy and Skepta, but when I’m starting my day I might go for something a little more chill like Billie Eilish. 9.45AM I’ll shower and put on my favourite Hudson Barbara high-rise jeans, a cropped T-shirt and some Marc Jacobs mascara and highlighter. It’s a rinse-and-go type of situation. 9.50AM I’m passionate about breakfast. I wake up hungry, so I always eat a bagel. My family gets a dozen from this deli called Nate ’n Al every weekend. 10.30AM My parents [Cindy Crawford and…

CATE BLANCHETT ACTOR She’s one of Hollywood’s most acclaimed actors and, thanks to her poised and polished turns on the red carpet, Blanchett has also become a sartorial leader. As a risk taker who dresses with confidence and élan, the Academy Award winner consistently wows in her style choices. Her film premiere outfits have included dramatic Alexander McQueen, ethereal Valentino and, while she was pregnant, richly textured Dries Van Noten. Blanchett also champions home-grown talent: she has a strong relationship with Anna Plunkett (who is also one of BAZAAR’s Best Dressed) and Luke Sales of Romance Was Born, and in 2009 she took one of their crochet dresses for a spin on the red carpet. The media had a field day with the moniker “Cate Blanket”. “If I choose to…

It’s hard to fully appreciate the impact Instagram has had on the fashion industry. Social media may have opened up the highly exclusive world of fashion month to the general public, but it was Instagram that took it one step further, birthing a new generation of fashion celebrities (who now fill front rows and magazine pages) and often dictating post-runway hype. Sometimes it feels as if the Instagram effect is so consuming that designers are creating pieces with ’grammability in mind. As the fashion world’s favourite app, Instagram offers brands intimate access to millions of potential customers, so it was somewhat inevitable that emerging designers would find creative ways to use that access to their advantage. Enter: the rise of the Instagram-Famous Brand. Labels such as Los Angeles-based Cult Gaia,…

“MILLIONAIRE TELLS MILLENNIALS: If You Want a House, Stop Buying Avocado Toast”; “Generation Hopeless: Millennials More Likely to Suffer from Long-Term Unemployment”; and “Why We Blame Millennials for Everything” are just some of the many recent headlines name-checking the most talked-about generation of the past two decades. Depending on whom you ask, those born between the early 1980s and the late ’90s (exact definitions vary), are either a bunch of snowflakes who would prefer to buy avocado on toast on the reg than save for a home, or they’re tech-savvy, resourceful, idealistic types who are just making the best of turbulent economic and political times. Whichever, as their spending power increases, marketers worldwide are desperate to know what makes them tick. Which is easier said than done, because if there’s…

LET’S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT: Iris van Herpen is not a designer who only makes 3-D-printed dresses. “There are so many misconceptions about my work,” says the 33-year-old, throwing her head back in laughter and revealing a face that is as enigmatic as the Renaissance beauties in her favourite Amsterdam hangout the Rijksmuseum. “Even specialist 3-D printing websites — and you’d think they’d know what they’re talking about, right? — say every new collection is 3-D-printed. Three-dimensional printing is only one element. In fact, a lot of the technology and innovation we do is in collaboration with other companies, so it’s all done at their place. My studio here is very much like a fashion atelier.” Indeed, far from looking like a mad scientist’s laboratory, van Herpen’s hub in Amsterdam…

Japanese women have understood the importance of rituals for centuries, as is evidenced in their tradition of balancing the mind and body through Onsen bathing. While we may not have natural spring baths at our disposal, the simple translation for city living is an evening skincare ritual that grounds you in the moment and calms the mind before sleep. Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair collection provides the perfect sacrament with a range of products made to be applied with mindfulness before bed. The first of this now cult range of skincare essentials was Advanced Night Repair, or ANR as it is affectionately known, launched back in 1982. While ANR was groundbreaking in its consistency, fragrance-free formulation and ingredients, it was its inclusion of hyaluronic acid that was truly revolutionary —…

You’re not imagining it: smells change (for better or worse) in the heat and humidity of summer. Notes linger and then evaporate, making for the kind of olfactory taunting that can be either delightful or frustrating. And the opposite is true of winter: timid notes just don’t cut it in the chill as they fail to stick to dry, dehydrated skin. This may help to explain why those citrusy blue-bottled Tom Ford concoctions smell so inviting in the hotter months, while deep amber and woody notes go on a treat mid-year. More and more scents are being aligned with specific seasons, such as these hot (and cold) new releases ...…

THE SCENT Tiffany & Co.’s new fragrance, created by master perfumer Daniela Andrier of Givaudan, showcases the iris, a flower entwined with the design DNA of the house back to the earliest sketches.

“20 YEARS — IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY,” says Karin Upton Baker, Harper’s BAZAAR Australia’s first editor, as she reminisces with the magazine’s first creative director, Eric Matthews, about their debut issue. To be sure, some things haven’t changed at all over the past two decades. Baker still works with Matthews, but at Hermès Australia, where she has been managing director since 2001. Her choice of cover star, Nicole Kidman, has also been a stayer. Twenty years ago, Kidman was filming EyesWide Shut alongside then husband Tom Cruise in London. Today, the actor is fresh off a stellar 2017, winning a Golden Globe for her role as Celeste in Big Little Lies last month, as well as appearing in Jane Campion’s Top of the Lake: China Girl and Sofia Coppola’s The…

TRIP PLANNER It is the standard “New year, new me” posts I am saturated with after a quick Insta scroll on the first day of the new year. Switching the screen off, I make an exquisite brekkie for one, with a cup of tea and the latest issue of BAZAAR. Happy New Year me! Then it hits me: a resounding sense of inspiration and yes! after reading Tracey Withers’s “Going it Alone” [BAZAAR January/ February]. As a newly single woman, heartbroken after the end of a five-year relationship, I’m planning a month of soul searching in South America alone. With my inner sanctum of friends either married, newly engaged or with a bub on the way, I can’t help but feel this might be my last chance to voyage across…

I’ve always felt like I had a voice. I was raised with a very strong moral compass and my mum has always been very much on the side of the underdog. There might be grey areas in life, but when it comes to right and wrong, there is no grey. You know what’s right and you know what’s wrong and if you’re even questioning it, it’s probably wrong. As a young child, I had a great sense of empathy and that made me more aware of the world. I was never told to be quiet. I watched documentaries and the news with my parents. We weren’t shielded from what was happening in the world. It’s often not accurate when people say, “I’m not political. I’m not a feminist.” A lot…

The Roman jeweller is renowned for its bold designs and unique use of coloured gemstones which reflect the vibrancy of Italian culture and style but are also perfectly suited to the contemporary cosmopolitan Australian lifestyle. “Bulgari is more than jewellery; it is about the joy of life,” says Bulgari creative director Lucia Silvestri. “We talk about the essence embedded in our DNA – la dolce vita – but we always make it relevant for today.” Since the 1950s the house has been an innovator in its use of colour and texture, most notably in its audacious combinations of precious and semi-precious gems, and the championing of cabochon gemstones, which have been rounded and polished to perfection. Whether mixing pink tourmalines with aquamarines and emeralds, or rubies with sapphires, the house’s…

From June through to August of last year, you probably fell into one of two camps: enduring the Australian winter while scrolling through an Instagram feed chock-full of friends smugly sipping Aperol spritz in Positano, or you were the smug Aperol-sipper documenting your Euro getaway through a series of filtered snaps. The 2017 European holiday season was all about Italian seaside towns, but it could just as easily have been defined by the fashion. Matteau black one-pieces, straw beach totes, Dolce & Gabbana floral party dresses and Lucy Folk pearl sunglasses chains were as ubiquitous as negronis, gelato and rows of yellow-and-white-striped beach umbrellas. New purchases were shown off through carefully staged shots on Instagram, intended to look as nonchalant as possible. Fast-forward to summer in the southern hemisphere and…

 Parked in the double carport, a snow-white late-model Mazda hatchback and a silver Subaru wagon with two surfboards strapped to its roof-rack suggest nothing out of the ordinary. A few metres away, a kitchen door is flung open to allow the breeze to circulate throughout the 19th-century wooden homestead, Bencluna. Inside, Sarie Kessler stands at the island bench packing away groceries while offering breakfast suggestions to eight-year-old grandson Sebastian. It’s a tick past 9am and the sound of heat — the screaming of cicadas — is already at a crescendo. On the wide wraparound verandah, it’s at least five degrees cooler. A bleary-eyed blonde in a black slip nightie pads out barefoot from one of the bedrooms. “Hi, I’m Margot,” she says. She’s surprisingly delicate in person — alabaster skin,…

Over the past 20 years, the women profiled on the following pages have led the charge in avant-garde design, redefined lifestyle dressing, pioneered sustainable manufacturing and expanded the horizons of e-commerce, all while setting our hearts aflutter with their personal dress sense. Here, they reflect on working harder, smarter and better for the future WITH BARELY CONCEALED GLEE, Stella McCartney trots onto the stage of London’s Royal Albert Hall to receive the first ever Special Recognition Award for Innovation as part of the British Fashion Council’s The Fashion Awards for 2017. “I really ask you that you have another one of these awards next year [so] I can hand it to somebody else,” the designer says, teetering in a pair of impossibly high heels and wearing a moiré off-the-shoulder dress…

“WHAT I LOVE about articles of clothing is the way they provide emotional props, and their trans-formative effect. I’ve experienced a variety of incomes, including none, but even then I went to Oxfam and bought my favourite hotpants for £5. For me, it’s as much about the journey of discovery. I just love clothes. Sometimes I sing that around the house: ‘I love clothes’.” This is the anthem of Alexa Chung, the journalist, TV presenter, global style icon and former model sitting before me, cosy in a British-winter-friendly Etro pullover, vintage jeans and sturdy Chanel boots. Thirty-four-year-old Chung has been setting contemporary style for almost 20 years and is now redefining the future of it. Following her hit collaborations with Tommy Hilfiger, J. Crew’s Madewell, AG Jeans and Brit stalwart…

THE YEAR IS 1998 , Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn” is dominating the charts and I have embarked on a career as a gossip columnist — or in more polite circles, a “social diarist” — for the most prestigious and oldest broadsheet newspaper in the country, The Sydney Morning Herald. My remit: covering all the glittering parties, names and faces, social faux pas, weddings, divorces, births and deaths that make up the great theatre of Australian society, and unearthing a nugget or two of salacious news, along with anything that can fill the paper’s still fledgling website if it is not deemed worthy of hallowed newsprint. Indeed, they were heady times, money was splashed around as freely as the champagne and egos ballooned as the economy boomed. None of us fully realised…

1998 THE BIRTH OF LUXURY SKINCARE When La Prairie launched its Skin Caviar Luxe Cream in 1998, priced $500, it was for many of us the most expensive investment we’d ever made in beauty. Since then, we’ve come to expect our anti-ageing creams to feature a silver-spoon side serve of miracle ingredients — truffles, South Sea pearls, fermented sea-kelp broth, platinum; the more exotic the better. La Mer set up shop locally in 1999, Sisley in 2000, both notching up strong growth year on year and proving that when it comes to status symbols, women are very happy to slather them on their face. 1999 RISE OF THE CELEBRITY MAKEUP ARTIST Once, it was backstage at fashion shows where beauty journalists would get inspiration for an entire season’s worth of…

MONTE MORGAN AND HARVEY MILLER, the two main members of Client Liaison, are simultaneously nostalgic for ’80s Australian music and on the front foot with new technology. Their live performances are legendary, with pyrotechnics, inspired dance moves and special-guest appearances such as Tina Arena’s surprise pop-up at last year’s Splendour in the Grass festival, where she belted out her hit “Sorrento Moon” to the joy of the crowd. Their cumulative theatrics might be a product of their art-school beginnings, but their arrival at the 2017 ARIA Awards in a retro limo billowing smoke has only solidified their reputation as “faux-fi” synth-pop showmen. So where is Australian music going next? We asked the boys … HARPER’S BAZAAR: What’s your take on the influence of technology on music right now? HARVEY MILLER:…

“I decided that whatever I was going to buy and bring home I wanted to be kind of amazing. I just wanted things I adored.” LUCY FOLK has been calling Paris home on and off for nine months, feeling out her new French routine, launching a new clothing collection to support her joyful jewellery range and instantly recognisable sunglasses, and having a stab at mastering the language while she’s at it. It was a move borne of necessity, as launching the collection means time spent on opposite sides of the world. “The travelling back and forth was just killing me,” she says. “I needed to set myself up to just be a bit more grounded, so when I’m in Europe, I’m in Europe and when I’m in Australia, I’m in…

CARINE ROITFELD “I love diversity, and when looking for models I’m always searching for someone who will introduce us to more of what the world has to offer,” says BAZAAR’s global fashion director, who styled a series of fresh faces for her S/S 2018 collections shoot on page 155. “Look 1” plays to Roitfeld’s strengths — she has a knack for championing the next big things in the modelling world. “I’m always looking for an emotion, a new idea of beauty, like Lara Stone, whom I was the first to book. I found her full of emotion. Or Halima [Aden], who represents a new style of beauty and an openness to the world.” In the future I hope … “designers will still have the liberty to create and to make…

The I, Tonya star and Oscar nominee’s awards-season red-carpet marathon is in its advanced stages and Robbie’s look has remained consistent throughout: think a series of nude or black gowns with offbeat feminine details from the likes of Louis Vuitton, Prada and Gucci. Her off-duty style, she says, is as diverse as her choice of acting roles: “I don’t think I have a recognisable personal style — it changes. I love ’90s stuff since doing I, Tonya.” When the actor does get some rare time to herself, she favours Australian brands. “I do all my shopping in Australia,” she says. “When I’m wearing stuff overseas and people ask me what label it is, I say ‘Aussie brands’. I tell you, you can’t find it over there — Zimmermann does have…

“I learnt you must trust that there isn’t a wrong decision, but that you need to listen to your intuition. As your intuition gets stronger, it feels like a muscle that is guiding you.” AS WOMEN, we often try to live up to a ready-made concept of what our lives are, and if for some reason it doesn’t feel like it’s falling into that pattern, you think, Is my career over? Am I screwed? Am I the person I’m meant to be? One day you wake up and realise nobody is going to make it happen for you except yourself. Last year there was a lot of foundation shaking for women around the world, and I underwent many changes too. My 2017 began in London, when I was on the…

What began as a love story between Estelle Arpels — the daughter of a precious stone dealer — and Alfred Van Cleef — the son of a stonecutter — in the late 19th century has become a Maison synonymous with exquisite diamonds and meticulous craftsmanship. To celebrate the company’s 112-year history, Van Cleef & Arpels’ pieces provide an intrinsic link between past, present and future, encapsulating the 1920s fascination with intensely coloured Ancient Egyptian art, the creativity of 1950s beading and the interplay of light from 1970s hammered yellow gold. While the Perlée collection’s Diamond Pendant necklace and earstuds and the Pearls of Gold bracelet and ring variations remain faithful to the Maison’s tradition of beading, it is the Cadenas watch that best embodies its history of jewellery design. The…

IT’S ALWAYS MIDNIGHT SOMEWHERE, AND THE CITY IN DARKNESS IS THE NATURAL HABITAT OF THE CHARACTERS WHO SLINK, STRIDE AND STRUT FROM THE MIND OF ARTIST STELLAR LEUNA. IN THIS EXCLUSIVE PORTFOLIO, THE SYDNEY-BASED ILLUSTRATOR, MUSICIAN AND PRADA COLLABORATOR TILTS HER PEN AND BRUSH TOWARDS THE “NOSTALGIC, DREAMLIKE” CURRENT FASHION MOMENT, DRAWING THE COOLEST LOOKS FROM THE SPRING 2018 COLLECTIONS ON A CAST OF HER MUSES. SHREDDING ONSTAGE, PROPPING UP A LONELY WHISKEY BAR, WALKING IN THE RAIN, TURNING UP ON THE DOORSTEP UNANNOUNCED, LOOKING FABULOUS AND A LITTLE DANGEROUS — THEY COMMAND ATTENTION, IF NOT MODELLING FEES. “IS SHE GOING TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY OR A FUNERAL?” LEUNA PONDERS ABOUT ONE. THE OVERALL STYLE MESSAGE? COLOUR OUTSIDE THE LINES…

IN 1984, BRAND AUSTRALIA was defined by a tourism ad in which Paul Hogan made a fair dinkum promise to “slip an extra shrimp on the barbie” for Americans holidaying Down Under. In 2006, Lara Bingle enticed tourists to our shores by asking “So where the bloody hell are you?”. Since then, we’ve stopped asking and instead have started exporting our lifestyle around the world. And it’s a hit. Not for nothing is avocado on toast now a beloved brunch item from New York to London. Even Starbucks has put a flat white on its menu. At the same time, thanks to the rise of social media channels such as Instagram, travel has become a conspicuous status symbol and the demand for clothes that cater to a social-media-savvy globetrotting lifestyle…

LITTLE MORE THAN 30 YEARS AGO, Ruth and Tom Chapman were running a small clothing store in Wimbledon Village, the posh London suburb more famous for tennis whites than little black dresses. In September 2016, it was announced that their fashion business — which turned over $347 million in revenue in the year to January 31, 2017 — sold to investment bank Apax Partners for a reported $1.3 billion. So what, exactly, has happened since 1987? It’s October 1 and I’m sitting in the lounge of the Hôtel le Bristol in Paris. It’s fashion week, so the room is pretty much a who’s who of the industry. In one quiet corner, Maggie Gyllenhaal is having high tea with her daughter, and a noisy table nearby is overflowing with models waiting…

“Women, so long on the receiving end of age-related prejudice, find themselves at the cutting edge of this zeitgeist shift.” On paper, I am pure millennial: I rent rather than own, am part of the gig economy, drugged for my neuroses, unable to divorce sex from text, constantly Instagramming my avocado fetish, and use the term “heteronormative” to dismiss anything I don’t like. In fact, I am 46: standard-issue Generation X. Two of my closest friends are 89 (Greatest Generation) and 13 (Generation Z). Some of my allies are having babies as they head towards 50, others battling their way through their teens. While once age regulated my existence — school years, life stages, significant milestones — these days it feels as if we are all thrown together in one…
