TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, when I scored my first magazine beauty editor job, the beauty world was a very different place. The wellness/athleisure boom hadn’t happened yet, hence a woman’s workout wardrobe was limited to grey marle. There was no Instagram; to become a famous makeup artist and score a lucrative cosmetics contract, you actually needed years of experience under your belt. The founders of some of today’s biggest beauty brands — Kylie Jenner and Emily Weiss of Glossier — either hadn’t been born or had just started school. And no one talked much about diversity or inclusivity in beauty, because no matter how vocal women were, without the communities we have been able to create through social media, those concerns largely weren’t being heard. What a shift. Now in 2019,…

BEAUTY Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream is always in my bag and I love the SK-II Facial Treatment Oil. I sometimes mix the two. I have pretty SENSITIVE SKIN, so I stick to products that I know I won’t react to. I swear by David Mallett for my hair; his shampoo and masks are lovely. I had an INCREDIBLE TREATMENT recently at Amara Wellness Centre in Melbourne, an EndermoTherapie massage for lymphatic drainage — it was really invigorating. I also LOVE FACIALS. Luckily I have some friends who are incredible facialists, including Anastasia Achilleos in London. A treatment with her is divine. Every day I use my own products from WESTMAN ATELIER. I formulated them to be more than just makeup; they have serious SKINCARE BENEFITS.They can help with issues…

MY ENTIRE LIFE, I have felt as if I’m under a microscope. For as long as I can remember, people have always felt it has been their right to comment openly about my appearance — and that imposes an enormous amount of pressure. It has been constant, from when I was tiny, right up to now, with the many online trolls a career in commentary seems to attract. From a young age, I absorbed the message that I was never elegant enough, thin enough or feminine enough. I resented being put into dresses and then told I couldn’t sit certain ways because it wasn’t “ladylike”. I loathed having long hair and having to sit still while it was combed for knots or pulled back into braids and ponytails. My first…

EDWINA and I felt so connected to the landscapes we grew up in on the Sunshine Coast [in Queensland], and felt there needed to be a brand that bridged coastal and urban style,” says Adrian Norris, one half of fashion duo Aje.. The brand is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year in style, with the best friends invited to open Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia in May. “To inaugurate the second decade of Aje. by opening fashion week makes us so proud,” co-founder Edwina Forrest says. Forrest and Norris credit the voluminous ‘Isabelli’ blouse with sky-rocketing Aje. into the Australian fashion consciousness back in 2015. “The Isabelli was featured in a dozen top-tier magazines in Australia and internationally when it launched,” Norris recalls. “It’s a piece that perfectly embodies the style…

DELETE AT LEAST ONE APP FROM YOUR PHONE: Uber, UberEats, Deliveroo, Afterpay, Zip Pay, Tipple … they’re handy, but they add up. Whatever your app of choice, grab a copy of your purchase history (it’s all online) and if you’re shocked about how much you’re spending, delete that app. FOLLOW A 5:2 MONEY DIET You’ve heard of the 5:2 intermittent fasting diet, where you eat normally for five days but only eat 500-600 calories on the other two days. The 5:2 money diet is similar, but opposite. Try not to indulge in any discretionary spending Monday to Friday — that means no coffees, bottled water, takeaways and so on — and on the weekends resume spending as usual. DON’T HIDE BEHIND THE CPW The cost-per-wear formula is an easy answer…

‘GILESDEACON_ STARTED FOLLOWING YOU.’ In 2019, the modern fairytale opens not with ‘Once upon a time’, but with the approval of an influential personality on Instagram. It’s not a stretch to call Tomo Koizumi’s past six months a fashion fantasy come true. Few have burst onto the scene with as much pomp and circumstance (and Instagram coverage) as the Japanese designer did after his breakout New York fashion week show in February, where his rainbow-hued explosions of tulle and taffeta debuted to a global audience. But let’s backtrack a little. It was the designer Giles Deacon who set off the chain reaction that led Koizumi to fashion week. After discovering him on Instagram, the British couturier raved about Koizumi to his friend the mega stylist Katie Grand, the fairy godmother…

I WANT TO BE HER, MOMMY!” shouts an elated little girl standing in a cluster of kids who have gathered spontaneously in Forsyth Park in Savannah, Georgia. With heads craned towards the sky, they are gobsmacked, rooted in place as if they’ve spotted a bona fide superhero. And in a way they have. On the crisp but sunny Saturday morning of her BAZAAR cover shoot, Alicia Vikander is literally floating on air, pirouetting with balletic grace in a Louis Vuitton gown 15 metres above the mossy green. The Swedish actor seems preternaturally at ease and visibly in control, often calling the shots — politely — to the stunt co-ordinators and photography crew from midair. Remaining nonplussed in the face of extreme bodily risk is all in a day’s work for…

CARA DELEVINGNE is pacing the floor of the penthouse suite of Paris’s Le Bristol hotel, understandably perturbed. Her sister Poppy has just FaceTimed to inform her that their security team is questioning the identity of an uninvited house guest who has materialised in the Hollywood Hills home the girls co-own. The 26-year-old model’s trademark bold brows rise and fall at an alarming rate. “I didn’t invite anyone to stay!” she assures her sister. “It could be a stalker. Who is in my house?” Delevingne drifts off to a corner to continue the conversation in private, then hands her phone to an assistant, who promises to take care of the situation. “Sorry about that!” she apologises to me, pulling herself together. Game face on, she snaps herself back to business. It’s…

I AM AN AUTUMNAL BEING. Spring bustin’ out all over does nothing for me. Come the balmy days of summer, I can be found fantasising about velvet and cashmere, willing not an Indian summer, but that first crisp catch within the air and the falling of leaves. For autumn brings the scent of bonfires: the cosy domestic hearth, the soothing smoulder of burning leaves and the heady rush of cordite. All fragrance started in smoke, as the name suggests: per fumum meaning ‘through smoke’, an offering of incense shooting straight to the gods. When we veil ourselves in smoky vapours, we engage with perfume’s very essence, as something immanent, sublime. Perfumers deploy myriad sleight-of-hand techniques to create smokiness, using resins such as labdanum and opoponax, and the potent, earthy fixative…

THE FASHION INDUSTRY might not flash them all that much, but that doesn’t mean we care any less about our teeth. In fact, recent research suggests we’re actually spending more than we ever have on improving them. Globally, the cosmetic dental industry is predicted to reach an estimated market value of $39 billion by 2024. The once clearly defined line between dental procedures and beauty treatments has also become blurred, with a growing amount of cosmetic procedures on offer for the sole purpose of enhancing and showcasing a knock-out smile. So why the sudden fixation? As with most modern phenomena, the answer is likely tied to your smartphone. If you can cast your mind back to a time before Instagram, or even the pixelated JPEGs of MySpace, having a good…

I’m sitting in Carol Crawford’s whitewashed Sydney studio, where light gushes in through large, low windows, dappled by the trees that line the street outside. It shines fondly on the sculptures — both finished and nearly-there — she has displayed carefully around the room. As we walk through the space, she considers each piece, reverently talking about its meaning and the origins of the stone. “I do what the stone tells me,” she says humbly. “I’m very good at interpreting what it wants to do. I’m sort of a stone psychologist. That can be your headline!” A shelf to one side is lined with stones in various stages of shaping, sanding blocks, and pots and bottles filled with unidentified mixtures. In the corner, a picture of Georgia O’Keeffe is tacked…

On the surface, Aldous Harding appears to be the kind of musician who doesn’t reveal too much. Her singular strain of gothic-folk music is complex and layered, poetic to the point of being cryptic, and her performances can feel enigmatic at least, haunting at most. Her ex-boyfriend the musician Marlon Williams spoke in interviews of their separation, but from Harding there was purposeful silence. While her 2017 sophomore record, Party, wasn’t a breakup album per se, it was created in the wake of a trajectory-altering relationship. That is to say that if you listen closely, it’s all there for the taking. She isn’t afraid of her feelings, whether laying them out in lyrical gut-punches or something a little more relenting. Her new album, Designer, falls into the latter category, perhaps…

‘LIFE IS SHORT. Buy the shoes!’ reads a cushion resting on the bed of the British accessory designer Sophia Webster. It’s just one of the many playful touches in her east London house that reflects her mission to put the fun back into luxury fashion. Paper lanterns shaped like ice-creams hang from the trees in the garden and a half-eaten chocolate cake made to resemble a Disney princess in a frothy yellow ballgown bears witness to her daughter Bibi Blossom’s third birthday party the day before. Webster is wearing a cat-print jumper that reaches down to her knees (she’s a dainty 155 centimetres tall) and bright pink fluffy slippers, while Bibi is clearly still in a party mood as she runs around in a bright-pink flamingo onesie. Yet there is…

Gucci Westman The celebrity makeup artist gives Alicia Vikander her golden glow for our cover shoot on page 94. “I don’t believe in this over-the-top Instagram look. For my clients, I like to make skin look like skin,” Westman says. She also shares the key beauty and fashion pieces she’s eyeing on page 34. My introduction to wellness was … “growing up with vegetarian parents. I was very aware of what I ate in terms of ingredients and chemicals. I’ve applied this awareness to using beauty products, too.” My favourite beauty product is … “my Vital Skin Foundation Stick. In the past couple of years I developed rosacea, so I wanted a foundation with effective ingredients and professional-tier quality. Thus I selfishly created one that is exactly that.” Celeste Liddle…

MET MANIA Ahead of fashion’s favourite event, the BAZAAR team looks back on the best (and most outrageous) Met Gala looks.

On June 12, 1977, the doors to Victoria’s Secret opened for business. You may remember the story of its humble beginnings from the soliloquy delivered by Justin Timberlake’s character in The Social Network: a man can’t go shopping for lingerie for his wife without feeling like a bit of a perve, so decides to create a new kind of store, an inviting space where men could buy titillating underthings free from judgement. “I was faced with racks of terry-cloth robes and ugly floral-print nylon nightgowns,” that man, Roy Raymond, told Newsweek in 1981. “I always had the feeling the department store saleswomen thought I was an unwelcome intruder.” It’s unlikely he knew it at the time, but Raymond had orchestrated a drastic shift in the way women consume lingerie. Victoria’s…

To understand Jane Hertzmark Hudis, all you need to do is take a peek inside her fridge. In the glow of her Sub-Zero sit rows of Saratoga Spring Water (labels facing forward), racks of champagne, Ladurée macarons, and neatly stacked Iittala glass cubes filled with fresh-cut fruit, all arranged like a De Stijl painting. The onetime art history student is all about aesthetics — her home is bursting with modern art — but she’s equally obsessed with rigour. “I’m very disciplined,” she says, smiling. She has to be: the self-described brand-builder runs Estée Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Aerin, Darphin, Aveda, La Mer, Bumble and bumble and Origins. Here’s how she gets it done. AM ROUTINE “When I was a baby, my parents couldn’t get me to sleep — I didn’t want…

ELISE PIOCH BALZAC works from a maison de maître (master’s house) built in 1890 in the heart of the village of Murviel-Lès-Béziers in the South of France. Renowned for its wineries fromageries and bucolic life, the pretty medieval village is now also home to Balzac’s luxury candle business, Maison Balzac. Together with her husband, Pablo Chappelli, and daughter, Loulou, the French-born businesswoman relocated from Sydney to France in 2018. “We lived in Australia for 14 years, but it was becoming harder and harder to live away from our families,” she says. Balzac spent two painstaking years searching for a property that would allow her to be closer to her parents in nearby Béziers and Chappelli’s family in Kent, England, before deciding on Murviel-Lès-Béziers. “We were looking for an unrestored house…

WHO WAS A PERSON WHO HAD A BIG INFLUENCE ON YOU? The great Renaissance art historian Bernard Berenson, whom I met when I was 18. He created the terms “life-enhancing” and “life-diminishing” to describe people. It’s so true — people are either one or the other. WHICH PERSON ALIVE TODAY DO YOU MOST ADMIRE? Myself. WHY? I think I’ve gotten through an awful lot completely alone. WHICH PHOTOGRAPHER BEST CAPTURES WHO YOU ARE? The pictures Bert Stern took of me are sensational — he was the best for me, and for Marilyn Monroe. WHY? For their sense of laughter and freedom. WHO IS THE SEXIEST MAN YOU’VE EVER KNOWN? David Somerset, the late Duke of Beaufort. The sexiest and most elegant. DID YOU HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH HIM? None of…

Fragrance “I’m a proper perfume girl.” THE SCENT OF LOVE: “Jo Malone London Red Roses. I’ve never met a person who doesn’t love the way it smells.” LOVE LESSON: “My children have taught me everything [about love]. When you’re up at 3am with a child who’s throwing up and you’re seeing double, you realise, This is what love is. When it comes to men, the buck stops pretty quickly for me, but with my kids, it’s unconditional.” Makeup & hair “I never want to feel like I’m morphing into a different version of myself.” FOUNDATION: By Terry Sheer-Expert Liquid Foundation. EYELINER: Tom Ford Eye Kohl Intense. “I smudge it so it’s not an obvious line.” MASCARA: “M.A.C., the double-wanded one.” LIPSTICK: Pat McGrath Labs in Elson and Elson 2. “Pat…

Jasson came into my life as a dear friend. He and his beautiful wife, Mia — who my husband had met through the arts community — came to stay at our home in Byron Bay and I fell in love with them both instantly. They exude a special energy, which, once felt, is completely contagious. I reached out to Jas when my daughter, DeeDee, was born in 2016. As a new mum, I felt like I experienced a bit of an identity crisis, which a lot of mums can probably relate to. All of a sudden I’d gone from high-flying professional and independent woman to … mum. And although being a mother is the most important role in the world, sometimes it can feel as though you’re alone. We chatted…

Skin THE TRIED AND TRUE ROUTINE of cleanse, tone and moisturise no longer satisfies a generation obsessed with self-care. We change our products and routines at a faster rate than our skin-cell turnover and invest in an army of serums, lotions, masks and essences in an effort to reach complexion nirvana. But without the dermatological know-how, fashionable ingredients and conflicting information can leave us in the dark about what our skin really requires. Beauty brands are now catering to this need, powering up their products with the latest technology to offer a personalised approach to skincare. Last year, Neutrogena entered the digital customisation space with the introduction of Skin360, a user-friendly skin-scanning device. Connecting the tool to a smartphone enables the magnifying camera to analyse your skin health, then the…

UNLESS YOU ARE Julia Roberts, there’s an understanding in the vast fashion circle — encompassing celebrities, models, designers, editors, stylists et al. — that smiling is gauche. You could be having the time of your life at a party, but should a camera appear, it’s decorous to stare at the lens with stone-faced disinterest, or if you’re feeling generous, a smirk. Toothy grins are reserved for infomercial hosts flogging steam mops. Smiling is anything but high-fashion — something for shopping centre parades, not Parisian runways. “There are millions of people all around the world, myself included, who feel a very real sense of dread when someone pulls out their phone camera and directs their subjects to ‘Smile!’” It has long been thought that a fake smile could be distinguished by…

INVENTED LIVES When a young illustrator flees Soviet Leningrad for Australia in the mid-’80s, she’s befriended by an older couple and their son. She quickly becomes entangled in their family, discovering each has an inner life she couldn’t have anticipated. Andrea Goldsmith (Scribe), $33. SPRING While very much rooted in present-day Britain, this instalment of Ali Smith’s seasonal quartet is absurdist and transcendental, and Smith covers life, death, art and the human condition in a way that’s drawn comparisons to Charles Dickens. Ali Smith (Hamish Hamilton), $30. FRANKISSSTEIN This is Frankenstein reimagined for 2019. The tale touches on the omnipresence of AI, as well as sex-bots and cryogenics. It’s far from Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, but compelling all the same. Jeanette Winterson (Jonathan Cape), $28, out May 21.…

Of all the first-world problems that come with the tough gig of reviewing luxury cars for a living, saying goodbye is the hardest. It can be emotionally traumatic to return a vehicle after it’s been yours for a few days, not to mention the questioning and disappointment that comes from your offspring: “Where’s Mum’s new big grey car gone?” (Sorry, Bambino, you’re not going to like the answer.) For the purpose of this review, I shall refer to the 2019 Maserati Levante as “My Maserati”. It only feels right. The reason Maserati’s first SUV is so appealing and so damn enjoyable to drive is that you don’t actually feel like you’re driving an SUV at all. It’s when I pack accoutrements into every available inch of space that it becomes…

“I think it’s always good to take on things that at first seem bigger than you. Then you just try to surmount them.”– CATE BLANCHETT actor and Taurean TAURUS (April 21–May 21) After much pondering and some major emotional healing, you’re ready to start afresh with love now. This could seal the deal with a long-term love or put you in the driver’s seat if you’re searching for a soul-mate. Mars puts a passionate slant on connecting, and conversations that click could be the clue that romance is back on the menu, so keep things vocal and local. You’re more inventive with investments this month, too, so put schemes into action now while you’re a cosmic money magnet. GEMINI (May 22–June 21) Too much pressure? If you’ve been…

SWEDISH BEAUTY Alicia Vikander burst onto the world’s radar with her Oscar-winning turn in 2016’s The Danish Girl — creating an iconic red-carpet style moment with her puff-of-cream custom Louis Vuitton gown in the process. Aside from her ethereal beauty and formidable acting talent (she’s played everything from a robot in Ex Machina to feminist Vera Brittain to a reprisal of Angelina Jolie’s role as Lara Croft in Tomb Raider), Vikander is a trained ballerina, speaks six languages and runs her own film production company, Vikarious Productions. She leads a notoriously private home life with husband Michael Fassbender, but when she does hit the red carpet, Vikander is likely to opt for a structured gown by LV, a brand for which she’s been an ambassador since 2015. “[Nicolas Ghesquière’s clothes]…

WHAT’S IN A LOGO? In 2019, a lot. Three or four years ago, at the height of fashion’s minimalist mania, it was considered somewhat naff to be seen in something obviously branded — a hangover from the Paris Hilton/Von Dutch era. Now, logomania is back in full force: laden with irony and unequivocally chic again. Logo T-shirts staged a major comeback in 2018, and the Fendi Baguette and Dior Saddle bags — ’90s staples covered in unabashed insignia — became the new must-have arm candy. Saint Laurent, despite the name change, brandished its ‘YSL’ monogram, selling stockings with diamante versions stitched to the ankles. Balenciaga’s knife-point mules were covered in ‘B’s, and shrunken jumpers had the brand name splashed across the front. Even masters of restraint Valentino created silk-twill play-suits…

MY GREATEST FEAR is being retired, wearing a shapeless polyester outfit and drinking cask wine — all because I haven’t saved enough to afford the lifestyle to which I’m accustomed. This isn’t a baseless fear: the lack of money women have in retirement is a big issue. Living in poverty is a very real prospect for millions of women aged 55 and older. Research by Australia’s Superannuation Industry (ASFA) shows just 18 per cent of women aged between 55 and 59 have saved more than $200,000 for their retirement (although 37 per cent of men have managed it). There are a number of reasons women face an uphill battle: we’re time-poor and often juggling work, families and ageing parents, more likely to run a single-parent household after a divorce, typically…

ON WORK & WELLBEING “Try a digital detox — this can be anything from reading a book for an hour before bed to spending a weekend away from your device in order to reduce stress levels.” DR TARA SWART, neuroscientist and leadership coach “In our age of overload, my number-one hack is to treat your diary like your body. You wouldn’t let anything be put into your body without permission, and the same goes for your calendar — you have to own it.” JULIA HOBSBAWM, writer and speaker “If you prioritise one activity in your life, it should be sleep. Just one night with fewer than six or seven hours is the equivalent to drinking two glasses of red wine: your learning ability, creativity, communication, decision-making and memory all suffer.”…

Arnsdorf HONOURABLE MENTION FOR SUSTAINABILITY Jade Sarita Arnott’s classic-with-a-twist designs were a hit among Melbourne’s fashion crowd from the moment Arnsdorf launched in 2006, but it wasn’t until Arnott relaunched in 2017 (after a five-year hiatus) that the rest of the fashion world really took notice. “We decided to throw out the rule book of how a brand should operate,” she says. This included creating all pieces in-house, offering bespoke alterations for garments and sticking to limited seasonal drops, rather than huge bi-annual collections. They also instigated a strict ‘no sales’ rule. “I feel that slashing prices at the end of each season devalues the materials and the craftsmanship,” Arnott explains. “We want someone to buy a pair of our suit trousers, then come back three seasons later and buy…

LASH TACTICS Layers of mascara create a sexy, smudgy lived-in look, but brushed-up brows and a hit of highlighter at the inner corners of the eye ensure the look feels considered. Try Maybelline New York The Falsies Volum’ Express Mascara, $20. COOL BLUE Swap predictable carbon-hued shadow for navy — the blue tone will actually make eyes look wider and brighter by counteracting any redness. Multitasking at its finest. Try Clinique All About Shadow Quads in Smoke and Mirrors, $63. RED ALERT Structured power shoulders demand a commanding beauty look that can hold its own. Double down on bold crimson with a matt lip and shiny nail — the juxtaposition in finishes keeps the shade interesting. Try By Terry Lip-Expert Matte Liquid Lipstick in My Red, $52, and O.P.I Infinite…

Makeup & fragrance “I always have a red lipstick in my handbag in case I have to go to a meeting — I slap it on for a bit of French-girl chic. Charlotte Tilbury’s is my go-to.” EVERYDAY FACE: “You won’t find me in makeup on my days off, but if I’m going out to dinner I’ll do my brows with an Hourglass pencil, a bit of Marc Jacobs mascara, some Nude by Nature powder and Tom Ford bronzer.” LIP CARE: “Dior Addict Lip Glow is my favourite for everyday wear. I also love the Dior Addict Lip Sugar Scrub to keep my lips soft and smooth.” NAIL COLOUR: “I usually go for Don’t Burst My Bubble from O.P.I. It’s a nudey-pink and it goes with every outfit I wear.”…

The story opens with a German scientist, Augustinus Bader, director and professor of applied stem cell biology and cell technology at the University of Leipzig, who is on a mission to heal children who have suffered serious burns. In 2008 he develops a landmark cure, a hydrogel that repairs traumatic wounds by recruiting the body’s own dormant stem cells, thus eliminating the need for skin grafts. The good doctor holds more than 200 patents, but faces one big obstacle: a lack of funds to on his research properly. The solution? A luxury skin cream using similar technology but marketed to women willing to pay $400 a bottle for its wound-healing (and wrinkle-smoothing) benefits. Even that finely woven tale barely explains how Bader’s eponymous miracle cream (a modern-day La Mer story…

“There has been so much innovation with facial oils, the results and sophistication are remarkable.” If ever there was a modern-day magic potion, a fountain of youth, quality-vitamin-A-ripe retinol (and retinoids) would be it. With more than 25 years of medical research supporting its impressive cell-renewing, skin-smoothing, DNA-repairing abilities, retinol has solidified its place as all-star MVP, enjoying a starring role in thousands of products from sheet masks to luxurious eye creams. “It’s referred to by many as the gold standard in anti-ageing cosmeceuticals,” says Melbourne plastic surgeon Dr Chris Moss. “Retinol can really combat and help prevent so many skin concerns and it delivers real improvements at both a cellular and molecular level.” Yet the beauty industry suffers from magpie syndrome: always on the hunt for the next shiny…
