Generous annual-leave allowances, money to splash, our splendid-isolation factor … there are so many reasons travel is built into the Australian psyche. I personally subscribe to the idea that your next holiday has to be booked the day you return from your last trip — a coping strategy I can personally attest works wonders. I’m not alone, because it seems the vacation vibe is also very much front of mind for designers this season. Pro surfers, beach babes, chic holidaymakers — they’ve all seeped into fashion’s collective consciousness for spring/summer 2019: a style ethos that transports us to a happier place, even if our daily reality is actually traffic jams, deadlines and endless Amex statements. So please think of our escape-themed January/February issue as a portal to whisk you away…

The name Gisele conjures a distinct image of supermodel glamour: sun-kissed complexion; long bronzed limbs; ocean-tousled hair. At 38, the mother of two is as in demand as ever, but tends to stay off the runway, instead focusing on philanthropic causes she’s passionate about. A quintessential glamazon with a bohemian sensibility, Bündchen is all megawatt glamour on the red carpet, but keeps it earth mother off-duty in white button-downs, jeans and caftan-style wrap dresses. GET GISELE’S BEAUTY LOOK with Tom Ford Beauty. On face: Traceless Perfecting Foundation SPF 15; on cheeks: Bronzing Powder in Gold Dust; on eyes: Eye Kohl Intense in Espresso; Exreme Mascara in Extreme Raven; on brows: Brow Sculptor in Chestnut; on lips: Lip Color in Misbehaved.

Let us slip quietly into a scene. It’s golden hour on a spring afternoon and a small procession of people are bushwalking towards the sunset. The scent of eucalyptus and warm earth accompanies them along the well-worn track. There’s a sense of ceremony here, but easy conversation, too. Laughs burst through the hum of cicadas. The walkers reach a clearing — the kind of beauty spot where one comes to think — and, as twilight deepens, settle on bohemian rugs that are stretched across the grass, gin-and-tonics in hand. Fairy lights twinkle in the trees. A videographer tracks children playing. There are speeches — tear-jerkers and jokes — and then the live band begins. It could be a wedding reception, really — except for the casket over there, illuminated by…

TAFE Fashion Design Studio alumna Anna Hoang’s quick ascent to fashion stardom with her label, Anna Quan, started in the most unlikely of places. “I based it on my then boyfriend’s business shirt,” she says of the ‘Anne’, the white button-down with statement cuffs, navy piping and monogrammed initials that became a fashion sensation when it launched in 2015. “I wanted to make something for a woman that was a little out of the ordinary, a little borrowed-from-the-boys — but that still had a feminine touch.” The shirt quickly emerged as a favourite among the style set, becoming a fixture both on the Instagram grids of influencers including Amanda Shadforth of Oracle Fox and Sara Crampton of Harper & Harley and in the street style at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia…

WHEN MEGHAN MARKLE’S wedding gown was finally revealed on the steps of St George’s Chapel in May this year, it was astonishing not only for its sculptural grace and elegant beauty, but also for the fact that its designer had kept the world’s most talked-about dress a secret. Clare Waight Keller, who had been appointed the first female artistic director of Givenchy the previous year, told no one about the commission. Instead, she herself did all eight fittings for the dress in private with the Duchess of Sussex; and while the seamstresses of Givenchy’s haute couture atelier in Paris devoted hundreds of hours to making the bateau-necked silk-cady gown and its exquisitely embroidered long train, none of them (nor indeed anyone at the company) knew the identity of the bride…

CHARLIZE THERON The actor and face of Dior J’adore fragrances always makes time for skincare and exercise Wellness & Diet  I m lucky I ve never been a couch potato.” EXERCISE ETHOS: “I’m always calculating my activity. If I haven’t been moving a lot, I can’t eat a lot. Or maybe it’s a cheat day. But I’m honest with myself.” DAILY DIET: “Plant-based raw foods.” CURRENT OBSESSION: “I’ve fallen in love with Pilates.

Conversations with NICK CAVE: An Evening of Talk and Music at Sydney Opera House was inspired by the intimacy Cave has experienced with his audiences. Here, he deconstructs the traditional concert format and instead performs songs solo at the piano interspersed with a live Q&A. Be prepared for an evening of unfiltered and uncensored talk with one of Australia’s most iconic musicians. (January 8–9; sydneyoperahouse.com.)

On a brutally hot summer morning, the Serbian artist Marina Abramovic is sitting in the cool of her suite at The Dorchester hotel in London, eating porridge. Next to a glass of water are 13 pills and, on the table, a collection of invitations fanned out before her: Elton John’s Argento Ball, the opening party at Masterpiece art fair … An assistant busies himself, advising on the timings of the day. She is in London on a flying visit from New York, as she is being honoured by the British Friends of the Art Museums of Israel and the auction house Dorotheum at its prestigious annual gala lunch. Later, when we leave the hotel together, the celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck asks for a selfie, and as we cross the road…

It’s the night that stops Australia’s philanthropic community, with 28 breathtaking custom-stitched gowns floating down the runway on Australia’s top models at Sydney’s gorgeous Ivy Ballroom. In its fourth year, the BAZAAR in Bloom gala, runway show and auction is still dedicated to raising much-needed funds for The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation, and the hospital’s department deemed most in need this year is the perinatal mental health unit. The money raised will boost essential mental health services at The Royal, providing for a psychologist to help new and expectant mothers make a full recovery from depression and clinical anxiety, ensuring accessibility to everyone, regardless of their economic status. BAZAAR in Bloom is a cause close to many hearts in Australia’s fashion set and was supported by a wave of…

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 20) JANUARY: A shift in your outlook is inescapable with an eclipse in your sign. Uranus shakes up long-held beliefs and Venus gets you ready to take a leap of faith with love. You’re ready. FEBRUARY: You’re compelled to take a walk on the wild side with a rebellious new moon in your finance zone. YEAR AHEAD: It’s an optimistic year with Jupiter as your guide. Relationships are a big part of your destiny and before 2019 ends, you could be happier than you’ve been in a decade. “I’ve always been very stubborn, had a very clear will of what I want to do.” – NOOMI RAPACEActor & Capricornian “There are no regrets in life, just lessons.” – JENNIFER ANISTONActor & Aquarian AQUARIUS (January 21–February…

NINO MUÑOZ To feature a model such as Gisele Bündchen requires a fashion photographer such as Nino Muñoz — both in the upper echelons of their industry. They have known each other for more than 20 years and, for him, photographing her never gets old: “What separates her from the rest is she is always present and gives one-hundred per cent of herself to the process,” he says. On page 92, he travels to Venice, Los Angeles, for our Gisele cover shoot. I am inspired by … “working with a team who know their craft. I love being involved with the hair, makeup and styling. It should always feel collaborative.” The best locations for photography are … “Being born in Chile, I’m always drawn to South America. The beach will…

“My most worn piece is probably my black leather jacket, because it just always looks good.” MY STYLE … is versatile and eclectic. I like being many women at the same time. I FEEL LIKE MY STYLE AND MY MUSIC GO HAND IN HAND. They’re two big parts of who I am as an individual, so they complement each other. I’M INSPIRED by people, other music, my mood swings and my emotions. I LOVE Jacquemus and Saint Laurent. Their collections are what I’m looking for in a dream look. RESORT 2019 I’m coveting the new Burberry trenches by [Riccardo] Tisci. MY MOST WORN PIECE is probably my black leather jacket, because it just always looks good. BLACK AND CAMEL are probably my favourite colours for jackets and coats. I go…

There’s something about putting on a Cecilie Bahnsen dress, with its poufy, inflated sleeves and behemoth A-line swing, that renders one’s mood instantly lifted.You see, it’s very difficult to be sour in a flutter of frills and even harder not to be tickled (figuratively and otherwise) by the delicious tactility of her fabrics — realised so blissfully big. So often these days, in a sea of mum jeans, streetwear and sensible fabrics,it’s a pleasant change to feel pretty — girly, even — in peplums, full skirts, flouncy sleeves and cascading separates: the sartorial equivalent of a scoop of lavender ice-cream. Sweet, yes, but cool and slightly curious. It’s a quirky-cool aesthetic that has drawn fans ranging from pop superstar Ariana Grande to major stockists such as Dover Street Market, Net-a-Porter…

SUSIE CAVE’S SECOND ACT THE TRANSITION FROM MUSE AND MODEL to legitimate fashion designer can be a tricky path to navigate. More often than not, the resulting work can come across as hackneyed. Susie Cave is an extraordinary exception. An inspiration to the likes of Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin, and the wife of the musician Nick Cave, she has always met real sartorial needs in ingenious ways, whether by transforming her friends’ flared trousers into drainpipes at the tender age of 12 or dyeing her own clothes for test shoots when she was modelling. Her brand, The Vampire’s Wife (named after the title of an unpublished novel written by her husband), was born out of creative necessity. “Every time I went out with Nick, I never knew what to…

INDULGING in spa-like practices dates back to classical times, with Greek and Roman public baths proof enough that civilisation was built upon a heavy dose of self-care. Today we have the best of it all: centuries of lo-fi rituals married with high-tech know-how. These global spa destinations — all brand-spanking new — showcase how far we’ve come, yet answer to our innate desire for a bit of pampering. EUPHORIA RETREAT Greece The Peloponnese, a collection of cities on Greece’s much-mythologised southern peninsula, is home to the original Olympic Games, world-famous Kalamata olives and, as of this past July, the country’s first wellbeing destination spa. I resist the urge to exclaim, “This is Sparta!” as we drive through the ancient city, located just five kilometres from Euphoria. Forget Hellenic blues and…

LOUIS VUITTON’S master perfumer, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, tells his story about growing up in the aromatic fields of Grasse, France, through his fragrances. And like any great storyteller, he has more to say — this time through four scented candles, $290 each, sure to add an aroma of luxury to any space. Inspired by the orange flowers that line the shores of the Greek isles, AERIN AEGEA BLOSSOM eau de parfum spray, $180 (on counter February 3), is a citrus-sandalwood blend that’s an homage to the aromatic, exhilarating experience that is sailing the fragrance’s namesake waters. A weightless, pigmented formula packed with certified organic baobab oil from Zimbabwe, creamy mango butter and healing argan oil makes CHANTECAILLE Lip Veil, $70 (pictured, from top, in Oleander and Baobab), a tiny luxury.…

STELLA JEAN Haitian-Italian designer Stella Jean has a cult following among the famously discerning street-style set and cemented her status as one of the strongest new talents at Milan fashion week with her S/S 2019 collection. The designer collaborated with artisans in the Republic of Benin in West Africa to create pieces including folksy day dresses, ruffled wrap skirts and graphic printed shirts, all made with organic cotton. AREA For S/S 2019, all eyes were on Area, the NYC-based label named after the city’s famous ’80s clubbing haunt. The brand’s signature embellished tassels — which inject a retro-glam edge to trousers, minidresses, box clutches and the heels of slingbacks — have become so well known that they inspired an Instagram scandal during New York fashion week when Diet Prada accused…

IT TAKES ONE hell of an imagination to look upon the paintings of Renaissance-era aristocrats that hang in Florence’s Uffizi Gallery and wonder what kind of sunglasses those Medici-financed It girls would have worn if there had been such a thing as designer eyewear in the 16th century. But that was exactly the question that popped into the brilliantly bonkers mind of London-based fashion photographer John-Paul Pietrus when he was on sabbatical in the Tuscan capital a few years ago. “I needed a break from the fashion world, and as I was always interested in the high jewellery I photographed on my shoots, I thought it would be cool to enrol in a jewellery-making course at the Metallo Nobile jewellery school,” says the 47-year-old Filipino-American, whose two-decade-long career has seen…

THE OPRAH INTERVIEW Ahead of her new movie, Ben is Back, JULIA ROBERTS opens up to her longtime friend OPRAH WINFREY about the challenges of life in the public eye, the truth about her 16-year marriage to cinematographer Danny Moder and why she finally joined Instagram (but doesn’t let strangers comment) OPRAH WINFREY: Hi, Julia Roberts. JULIA ROBERTS: Hi, Oprah. OW: [For this Harper’s BAZAAR shoot] you decided you were going to do something daring because you’re afraid of heights. That’s what I heard. Is that correct? JR: I am afraid of heights. It’s funny, because I’ve always been afraid of heights, and then when this came up I thought, Am I still afraid of heights? Because I never put myself in that position, so how do I even know?…

SKINCARE COMPANIES routinely claim their products can give us firmer skin, fewer wrinkles, a dewy complexion. But today’s sophisticated consumers are looking for more from skincare than merely an improvement in appearance. According to a new study by market research firm Mintel, more than a third of us now shop for creams that claim to de-stress or boost our mood, lifting our spirits as well as plumping our skin. Yet can confidence and calm truly be offered by a skincare routine? Certainly, the reverse is true. A study in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology suggests that acne could be linked to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, and psychologists are increasingly using cognitive behavioural therapy to treat skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis, which are both associated with…

TRILLION. It’s a value so large, it’s seemingly impossible to comprehend. One million million? Ten to the twelfth power? Even put other ways, it’s still mind-boggling. But it’s the number (12 zeros, for the record) of microbes in your gut at this very moment, working away in a delicate balance to keep nearly every other bodily function humming along harmoniously. “The gut is home to an ecosystem composed of trillions of microbes including yeasts, fungi, bacteria and viruses that, along with their genes, collectively referred to as the microbiome, influence so many body processes, from the digestion of food to our mood and mental health. It is also responsible for weight management, bowel regularity, skin health and so much more,” explains Chiza Westcarr, nutritionist and wellness coach at Sydney’s All…

As an independent-minded woman, I have always kept my maiden name for professional purposes “There are evocative literary reflections and musical echoes wherever you go in Newport.” — but on a recent trip to New England with my husband, I was intrigued to see what difference it might make to travel using my surname by marriage, which is Astor. For in Newport, Rhode Island, my husband’s formidable ancestors were famed for their social prominence and ownership of several magnificent mansions overlooking the ocean. Most powerful of all (at least in her eyes) was Caroline Astor — or rather,‘the Mrs Astor’, as she preferred to be known — who married into the dynasty in 1853 and became the Queen of New York society. Her reign coincided with the Gilded Age of…
