WE LOVE
STAR POWER • What makes a ‘superstar designer’ in today’s climate? Is a cult following enough, or do the true superstars come silently from within?
GARDEN OF DREAMS • An honouring of the Maison’s historic harmony with nature, Le Jardin de Chaumet is a High Jewellery collection that is a journey for the senses.
WELCOME HOME.
Cavalry.
UNDER PRESSURE • The world’s largest jewellery purveyors, Pandora, may be rooted in the mountains of historic Chiang Mai, but their minds are planted firmly on the future.
MIGNON
DREAMSCAPES • Swarovski’s Metamorphosis campaign is where magic and transformation collide.
THE YEARS LIE IN WAIT FOR YOU • French Surrealist photographer and painter Dora Maar was so much more than just a muse – she was a revolutionary and an artist in her own right.
READS • Literature that maps the heart of the human experience, illuminating our vulnerability and instincts; authentic, heady and at the fore. These are stories where the real world and the emotional realm feel porous, the borders between becoming subtler and subtler still.
FROM US TO YOU
ACTS OF REPAIR • Multidisciplinary Sydney artist Julia Gutman discusses her historic Archibald Prize win, her haphazard approach to seamstressing, and the layered narratives latent in the textiles we consume.
BODY LANGUAGE • Waangenga Blanco has spent more than a decade touring the world with Bangarra Dance Theatre, but for him, dance has always been about coming home to himself.
TRUE ROMANCE • Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s cult 2001 film Amélie makes a charming case in favour of the dreamers among us; a reminder to push aside preconceived notions of love in order to land at a deeper, unabashed definition of what it means to be a true romantic.
GENEROSITY AND JOIE DE VIVRE • On the joys of gardening, the democratisation of poetry, and what makes the perfect pop song with Martin Newell of Cleaners from Venus.
RECORDS • Music imbued with healing, with heartache, with romanticism and rage – songs that brim with authentic human experiences, sprouting rich new suggestions of what it might mean to look onward and inward.
silver soul
TETHERED • Where object transcends to memento, and routine elevates to ritual. These are the beauty keepsakes that ground the RUSSH team in their self-care, connecting them to special people, places, memories and feelings.
FLOWERS AND REMEDIES • Where Western medicine and traditional First Nations remedies meet; sourcing identity and strengthening familial bonds through the magic of herbal therapies.
Memento
FOLLOWING THE FEELING • Emma Lewisham on circularity, following an idea, and finding authenticity in work and in life.
