The editor’s desk
The first fashion show I attended was a David Jones parade. I was bestowed with a front row seat at the end of the runway. Carla Zampatti, the doyenne of Australian design, sashayed in wearing a cream suit that only a person with her poise could pull off. I asked Zampatti, as she took position beside me, if we were in good seats. “Darling,” she said, “if we were in Paris, people would kill us for these seats.” In this edition, we meet the new face of David Jones, Victoria Lee. It’s a role that any model would similarly kill for, and her humble origins mean the opportunity is not lost on her. ●

FIRST PERSON
““I am Euphemia Blackthorne” … and I’m a psychic reader If pressed, I’d describe myself as an intuitive, or
psychic reader, but I don’t like titles. I don’t question my gifts – they just are. What I do is otherworldly, and how do you talk about the great unknown? My parents were old-school and adamant that I needed a “proper” job, so I learnt shorthand and typing and was a legal secretary at a big law firm for a couple of years. They saw me as madly creative, which I thought was odd because I was just me. Then I put myself through fashion school, but I was in fashion for far too long. Innately, I could feel that I was in the wrong place, and, eventually, the universe kicked me out. It was like the tower card in the tarot – there was an almighty bang, and I had a new life. I was shedding old skin that didn’t fit anymore. My parents’ reaction? Well, I’d already been a punk, and they were used to me changing.
When people come to see me, they’re generally intrigued. Often, it’s because they sense that something is little bit out of balance, or they’re fearful – even of their own hopes and dreams. They come for direction, clarity, acceptance and safety. Some customers are hard to crack, but once we get in there it all starts to flow. Some people are quite, “I want to know, but I’m scared,” so they shut themselves off. It’s about making them feel comfortable. I don’t tend to remember things from my sessions with customers. I let it go, because it’s not my journey. It’s lovely though when people come back and say, “Since seeing you, I’ve done this and that, and I’m feeling really good. You’ve helped me through something.” I’m not remotely in it for adulation, but that is satisfying.
As told to

Every morning when I wake up I do a ritual to get myself connected with the four elements and slough off the dreams, but otherwise I don’t have any expectations: every day is different. For instance, a couple of weeks ago, a Buddhist monk came in and we sat down and did a spell together. When it comes to doing readings, there’s an appropriateness of language. I guess that comes from experience and life experience. Customers are putting themselves in a vulnerable position, opening up to a stranger. You have to be sensitive to their circumstances. I had a reading once that still sticks with me, where I was told, “Get prepared because your father’s going to die.” He’s 92. Of course we’re all going to die, but that was completely inappropriate. I guess it made me confront my fears about it, though. ●

COVER STORY A catwalk favourite for one of the world’s biggest fashion houses, Australian supermodel and country girl Victoria Lee returns home for a much coveted role.
W
Victoria’s secret is out
hen 27-year-old model Victoria Lee became the latest face of David Jones, joining the department store for its spring/summer 2018 campaign, there were inevitably comparisons drawn with supermodel Miranda Kerr. The Australian women have plenty in common – both were born and raised in the country and rose to prominence as Victoria’s Secret models, with Lee sharing the lingerie brand’s catwalk with Bella Hadid last year in Shanghai. There’s also a hint of the girl-next-door about them, and cheekbones that could hold up the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Born in Narrandera in the Riverina region of rural NSW, Lee wears her country heart on her sleeve. Her down-to-earth demeanour is what keeps her grounded in a business that is so competitive – especially when you call New York home. Perhaps it’s the fact she never set out to make it as a model that makes her appear less business-like and more in it for the wonderment. Making the move from NSW to New York six years ago wasn’t an easy step for a girl who was always home for family dinners and regularly visited her Nan (who still has Victoria’s childhood artworks hanging in her home). But, when the opportunity to start modelling nine years ago presented itself, Lee was up for the challenge and deferred a university degree in dietetics to try her luck in the Big Apple. “Where I’m from, people usually go straight to university after school or get a job, and nobody really pursues anything creative,” says Lee, who made her David
Jones runway debut for the spring/summer 2018 show in Sydney a few weeks ago. “I was scared to leave my country life to be honest,” she recalls. “I come from a close-knit family who do everything together. I had to put all my eggs in the one basket if I seriously wanted to pursue modelling and that meant going abroad. Everyone would ask me, ‘So what is your Plan B?’ I was like, ‘I am just hoping that Plan A works out’.” Lee, who has a younger brother Alex, never aspired to be a model but was always told as a young teen that she looked like one. When the opportunity came knocking, she initially agreed to do it to raise some pocket money, but it’s become a huge earner now. She’s walked in plenty of Australian Fashion Weeks, done a campaign for Seafolly and made the cover of the Rising Stars issue for Elle Australia. One of her first editorial shoots at Harper’s Bazaar also starred fellow DJs ambassador and model Jessica Gomes.
O
n the day we meet in Woolharra, in Sydney, Lee is thrilled her parents Chris and Jackie have also made the journey to see her. Among the conga line of agents, minders, models and make-up artists buzzing around the large Victorian mansion preparing for various shoots, her country folk look like they’ve just come in from a corner store. They sit in a corner in conversation with another Hadid, Anwar, who is in Australia for his first DJ’s gig. “I haven’t seen my dad in seven months, it’s so exciting to have them here,” she says. “Mum’s time is a little more flexible and can come and see me in Sydney at short

notice, I saw her two weeks ago. She’s been an amazing supporter of mine and very encouraging.” Home for Lee is now in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where she shares an apartment with her art director boyfriend Matt McDonald. “I don’t think my mum would like the idea of losing me to the States forever. I will always call Australia home,” she says. At 175 centimetres, Lee works hard to keep fit. She looks up to supermodels like Elle MacPherson and Megan Gale, and counts Cate Blanchett as style inspiration. “You have to be totally committed to the process,” she says of her figure. “Health and fitness is a lifestyle choice and I make a conscious decision every day to look after myself. I also want to live a long life. I go to the gym and eat well, but I don’t beat myself up if I want pancakes, I just make sure I balance it.” Lee, who says she has never felt shy in front of the camera, knows she owes a lot to being one of the lucky 55 models cast by Victoria’s Secret last year. Only a handful of Australian supermodels can say the same, including Kelly Gale and Bridget Malcolm. “I had a lot of nervous energy to burn in the day leading up to finding out whether I had been cast or not,” she recalls. “I was in the bathroom scrubbing my tiles frantically, trying to distract myself. “I was so engrossed that I missed seeing an email saying they wanted me in the show. If you asked me 10 years ago would I have ever imagined being a model, I would have just laughed. “It’s been a dream come true and I know the sort of doors a show like that can open for a model and I am ever grateful.” ●

FOOD For all his cheekiness the world’s most famous chef, Jamie Oliver, has serious unfinished business. Wo r d s
FRANK GRICE
STEVE RYAN
I
t was in 2005 when chef Jamie Oliver took on a televised project that is still shaping his culinary vision. In Jamie’s School Dinners, the ebullient foodie battled fearsome dinner ladies, outraged students and funding cuts to highlight the dangerous amount of processed food being fed to Britain’s school kids. Except, this wasn’t a British movement. It was global. “I guess I should have predicted it would go viral,” he says. “And perhaps it always should have anyway. It began talking about school dinners and how they were fundamental to our kids’ physical and mental wellbeing in daylight hours, but it enlarged into this bigger conversation about lunches in general and all the hidden nasties present in so much of what we give our kids, whether in school or out of it. “Like most things I take on, they begin as one little idea and soon morph into something I can’t really pull back in,” he laughs. Despite a number of obstacles and a rapidly expanding brief, Jamie’s School Dinners eventually led to a government-instigated overhaul of cafeteria menus across Britain which sought to replace processed and fried foods with healthier homecooked alternatives. Since School Dinners, his net has been cast everwider. Moving beyond British shores, that scope has seen his Food Revolution tackle issues in China, the US, Canada, and here in Australia. In part, it has propelled Oliver, who originally made his mark as the Naked Chef, transform from cheeky celebrity chef to bona fide social campaigner. He has fronted a number of televised movements
Naked ambition undertaking a degree in food nutrition. “What I love about almost every country this has been to is that we may not be speaking the same language or have the same words, but everyone understands [what’s] important,” he says. “You instinctively know what’s right and what’s wrong in a lunch – it’s just common sense. I think we are most closely aligned to Australia and New Zealand and it’s always been a thrill working there. “It’s that mutual respect we have for each other and it’s such a buzz to be able to have similar relationships across the other side of the world.”
“I think we are most closely aligned to Australia and New Zealand and it’s always been a thrill working there. It’s that mutual respect ... ” – such as 2008 series Ministry of Food – and has been part of a host of radical charity initiatives including his own Jamie’s Food Revolution, which states its mission as to “provoke debate and inspire real, meaningful, positive change in the way our children access, consume and understand food”. The desire to encourage children to see the benefits of healthy cooking even led to Oliver – a dyslexic who read his first book aged 38 –
Of course, as Oliver’s personal reputation has risen, so too have his charitable contributions and he is said to be the seventh most generous celebrity in the UK. His work earned him an Honorary Fellowship from the Royal College of General Practitioners and the esteemed TED Prize, which grants the winner US$100,000 ($138,000) to put towards their “wish to change the world”, which he stated in 2013 was
“your help to create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity”. There have been leaps and bounds made in the fight against child obesity, and Oliver’s charities continue to work raising awareness of the more hidden aspects of a global epidemic. However, the chef himself has regularly asserted that the problems he has devoted so much time and money to combating start with how parents educate their children. With the march of technological advancement, Oliver is aware that the issue he is facing is now perhaps more widespread than it was more than a decade ago. “I have a problem with all these kids and iPhones, for example,” he wrote on his blog. “I see it first-hand: you go somewhere and a group of kids will hold up iPhones to take your picture. “They’re looking at me, and I’m looking at about £3000 ($5300) worth of phones thinking: ‘Are these seriously your phones?’ Why do you need this stuff?’ ” ● Starting in this edition, we’ll be regularly featuring recipes from Jamie Oliver.

nspired by the ingredients that kept popping up in the Basilicatan region, I’ve come up with this beautiful salad recipe.

Matera Salad Rocket, mint, apple, crunchy veg, orange & chilli dressing
Serves 4-6 30 minutes 1 clove of garlic 3 oranges 1 teaspoon dried red chilli flakes Red wine vinegar Extra virgin olive oil 100g red cabbage ½ a cucumber 6 small mixed-colour heritage carrots 4 sprigs of fresh mint 1 eating apple 50g wild rocket 200g ball of burrata
■
■
Method ■ Halve the garlic clove and rub the cut sides all over a large serving platter. Top and tail the oranges, trim away the peel, cut into rounds and
arrange on the platter. In a pestle and mortar, bash the chilli flakes with 1 teaspoon of sea salt until fine, then scatter most of it over the orange slices. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons each of red wine vinegar and oil and leave to marinate. Meanwhile, very finely shred the cabbage. Peel the cucumber and halve lengthways, removing the seedy core, then chop into small chunks. Wash the carrots and finely slice lengthways. Pick the mint leaves, slicing or tearing the larger ones. Core the apple and slice into thin wedges, then place it all on the platter with the rocket. Season with salt and black pepper, then gently toss together with your fingertips to dress. Tear open the soft, oozy burrata, place proudly on top of the salad, drizzle with a little more oil, sprinkle over the remaining chilli dust from a height, and serve. Great with a stack of hot toast on the side. ●

rak is a clear, colourless, anise-flavoured spirit with a similar flavour profile to ouzo, pastis, sambucca and raki. It’s found in many Middle-Eastern countries, and now also at Bar Saracen, in the city’s Punch Lane. Ari Vlassopoulos, co-owner of Bar Saracen with chef Joseph Abboud (Rumi, Moor’s Head), is relaxed when it comes to serving drinks. The bar’s humorously annotated cocktail list includes the Sheik Zahid, a delicious, punchy take on a classic Toronto, mixing bourbon, Cynar, bitters and lemon zest over ice, and
Fatima’s Tears, which blends vodka, gin, lime, mint and Strega. “Our thing has always been to get people a drink straightaway,” Vlassopoulos says. “Nothing overcomplicated, just good flavours, big ice, a nice glass. We like to keep it simple. Sometimes we’ll even smile when we serve it.” When it comes to arak, however, there are rules. “No one does shots of arak,” he says firmly. The correct, and best, way of drinking arak is the traditional way. The spirit is first diluted with water – about one-third arak to two-thirds

water – and then poured over ice. This turns it a milky white, sometimes called “the milk of lions”. This diluted form of arak is – surprisingly for those suspicious of anise-flavoured drinks – excellent with food. At Saracen you can team it with excellent green olives stuffed with labne, crunchy torshi pickles, okra crisp-fried and served with lemon and cumin, house-made hummus topped with prawns and octopus served with pickled green peppers. The soft, milky texture of the arak goes particularly well with the acidic pickle flavours. ●

The factors that will determine the spring market The spring market is upon us and there are several key market indicators that will determine how the market fares between now and then. Availability of credit: The current market slowdown has been a manufactured slowdown, driven by a credit squeeze through the retail banks. The respective bank’s willingness (or lack of) to work with home buyers will have a huge impact on the market conditions. Buyer sentiment in terms of enquiry and inspection numbers has remained surprisingly healthy during this downturn. The hesitation of buyers to follow through and make an offer/bid has become a hallmark of the current market. Stock levels: If there is a considerable surge of new listings in spring, the question will be whether there is sufficient buyer demand to absorb the stock. If there is good demand relative to stock through spring, that will be a welcomed signal that the market has stabilised at the current price points. If supply swamps demand, vendors may face the prospect of reducing their price to achieve a sale.
True clearance rates: Not to be confused with the auction clearance rate quoted through the media. The auction clearance rate is a fudged number with agents having a bias for promoting their successes and burying failed campaigns through nonreporting. Most transactions in the market occur by negotiation and buyers are conscious of the performance of listings in their market niche. If buyers see properties selling, it promotes confidence in the overall market. Sentiment: Clearance rates directly impact market sentiment. If buyers feel the market has stabilised, the risk of buying a home that subsequently drops in price diminishes. Market performance is not necessarily a home buyer’s primary motive. If you buy a home that you intend to live in for the next 10 to 20 years, there will be periods where it rises and falls in price. Many prospective buyers are simply looking for definite signs of stability in prices and then they are ready to act. The market may be more resilient than many anticipate.

“I always felt that she deserved the best.” The inspiration behind the philosophy that sets Ryman Healthcare apart.
Brenda says she has noticed a massive change in her Mum Myra since she has been living in Ryman’s Evelyn Page village in Orewa. “She knows everyone, has become really social and tries new things like table tennis. She is in a lovely place, is healthy and enjoying life.”
Care is at the heart of what Ryman do. And it’s got to be good enough for Mum, or Dad! Since Kevin and John established Ryman Healthcare more than 30 years ago, the company has grown to become the largest retirement village operator in New Zealand and a trusted operator in Victoria, Australia. However, Ryman’s core philosophy remains the same. Care is at the heart of what Ryman do. And it’s got to be good enough for Mum, or Dad!
For more information about the Ryman difference visit our website www.rymanhealthcare.com.au or phone Denise on 1800 288 299
12398940-SN38-18
Back in 1983, Kevin Hickman, a former policeman turned private detective, investigated a resthome fire in Christchurch and did not like what he saw. “To me it was crazy, the standards were so poor’’ Kevin recalls. “I thought, what would I want for Mum?” “I’d want a single room, with an attached ensuite. Not a shared ensuite, because that creates enormous problems.’’ And so, Ryman’s philosophy that care has to be ‘’good enough for Mum’’ was born. Kevin teamed up with business partner John Ryder. Ryman – a combination of Ryder and Hickman – Healthcare was registered, and they bought their first property to convert into a resthome in 1984. When Myra started looking at retirement options, Brenda and her family knew it had to be the very best. Myra is a very special Mum, so Brenda needed somewhere she could trust for her to move into.
