NIC CLEARY

Well hello February, how quickly you seem to have come around. Work and school are back, yes, but Melbourne is still buzzing with the excitement of summer. Beyond the al fresco dinners and beachy days, it’s a good time of year to get a bit organised and maybe reflect on some personal goals. One way we’d suggest is by listening to our cover star Kimbra’s new album. A Reckoning explores love and conflict – with her signature soaring vocals and distinctive compositions. Kimbra spoke to us about the album, her time living in Melbourne in the early 2000s – and that Gotye collaboration. ●

Alison Brahe-Daddo is helping guide women through menopause.

Wo r d s

KI M WI L S O N

A

lison Brahe-Daddo was the magazine cover girl every teenager wanted to be in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

One of Australia’s most loved faces, she burst onto the modelling scene at the age of 16, epitomising the freshfaced, glamorous girl-next-door.

She worked with premium brands and regularly graced the covers of top-selling magazines. In 1992, she featured on the cover of Dolly seven times and was voted among the “top most influential women of the century” by Cleo readers.

Brahe married TV star Cameron Daddo and they became the ultimate picture-perfect couple. They headed to LA where Daddo pursued his acting career for nearly 20 years.

Brahe-Daddo worked as a producer and screenwriter, and secured a degree in early childhood education.

Fast-forward 30 years, and she has gone from Dolly and Cleo, where young women learned about puberty and sex, to helping women navigate their way through menopause in her new book Queen Menopause.

“I knew that my audience who remembered me were all going to be going through menopause,” she says.

“If you’re around 35, you’re not going to know who the hell I am. But if you’re creeping up to that 45 to 55-years-old, I’ve been there.

“One lady said, ‘I can’t believe that I went through puberty with you on the cover of a magazine ... and now I’m going through menopause with you and reading all about your menopause experience’.

“When she said that I just thought, ‘Gosh, that’s so lovely.’ ” It’s been a challenging transition for the 52-year-old mother of daughters Lotus, 25, and Bodhi, 15, and son River, 21.

Changing times

“There was no information that I needed as I was going into perimenopause,” she says. “I just found myself in this very lonely experience where I was so surprised at the symptoms I was experiencing.

“The further in that I got with my symptoms, I thought this is the book I need to write. It became clear that this was something that needed to be spoken about and brought out of the shadows.”

Brahe-Daddo has endured many of the symptoms synonymous with menopause, including hot flushes, disrupted sleep, joint aches, increased weight, low libido, depression and anxiety.

For a woman who was once known for her youthful beauty, it was a confronting experience, but not dissimilar to that of many others.

“I think to go from whatever size you are and all of a sudden, you’ve put on four dress sizes and you haven’t changed a thing about your diet or your exercise, it’s like, how did that happen? You try to do more exercise and cut out more things and the weight still gained, so it’s just hard for anyone,” she says.

One of the many benefits of getting through to the “other side”, is that she feels empowered and liberated.

“Everyone I’ve spoken to who’s postmenopausal has said, ‘I’m having the best time of my life’. I feel so free.

Not only are you free from periods, but you’re free from thinking about and caring about certain things that you have in your youth,” she says.

Brahe-Daddo is thrilled to be a “trailblazing” ambassador for Australian fashion brand Yarra Trail, alongside the founder of diversity modelling agency BELLA Management, Chelsea Bonner, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ special representative for Australia, Aminata Conteh-Biger.

“I feel really honoured. It’s about the work that they’re doing and the changes that they’re making. There is still got a long way to go (in the fashion industry), but I do see there’s more inclusivity of women that are older or size or colour or disability.

[It’s] really exciting.” ●

COVER STORY

“Faith is essential to my life ... it’s the life-force, the heartbeat of human connection for me.”

N

ew Zealand-born Grammy-Award-winning singer-songwriter Kimbra is sitting at the Auction Rooms in North Melbourne, on a whirlwind visit from her home in New York, indulging in some people watching.

She’s back in Melbourne – the city that kickstarted her career at the age of 22 – for a quick stop before heading to Tassie for a show at Mona.

“I really came up as a live musician in Fitzroy and played gigs every week,” Kimbra says. “Melbourne was home for seven years and I still feel very connected to it when I return.”

Best known for her chart-topping duet Somebody That I Used to Know with Gotye, which shook the world in 2011, Kimbra is about to release her fourth studio album A Reckoning.

If her worldwide success had a downside, it was the unravelling that came with wondering what

happens next and how to sustain a place in music without a major label deal – which is where she finds herself now.

The 32-year-old unpicks her inner self throughout the new album, tackling issues including her – at times crippling – battles with anxiety.

“I was fascinated with topics of anger and rage when I wrote this album,” Kimbra says.

“Being a woman and not knowing how to deal with big emotions led to me understanding the ups and downs I was going through with my anxiety.”

Songs including Save Me, Foolish Thinking and I Don’t Want to Fight reflect her modus operandi of being kinder to herself. She wants to be less about self-loathing and more about self-soothing.

“I feel intense empathy for things and can’t let it go, which means I hold more inside and it led to some terrible moments with anxiety,” she says.

KEEPING FAITH IN THE MUSIC Kiwi singer Kimbra on her new album and her decade-long career, which started in Melbourne.

“Some of the aggressive songs on this record are my way of getting to the bottom of what was going on for me.

“I wrote about a range of emotions from violence, sexual frustration and surrender as a way of letting go. And to say to myself there is freedom and fun on the other side if you hold on tight.”

Kimbra says that, with Saturn’s return (the astrological phenomenon said to happen around age 29) behind her, she’s learned how to process the highs and the path she’s been on since she went from Melbourne’s underground to global stardom.

Her desire for self-exploration isn’t a reflex that comes with fame. Kimbra insists she’s been like this ever since she was a teenager; she was always reading about religion (she grew up in a Christian faith-based family) and became interested in mystical faith in her 20s.

Wo r d s

JA N E R O C CA ●

“Faith is essential to my life,” she says. “It’s the life-force, the heartbeat of human connection for me. I believe in something beyond myself.”

These days Kimbra prays to her god (not the white man in the sky version, she insists) twice a day, and relies on meditation to calm the soul.

The album A Reckoning is a therapy purge served with fries on the side, leaving you wanting more.

“I learned I can only move through things when I face them and that’s what I have done here,” Kimbra says.

In the noughties, Kimbra lived in Prahran, Windsor and East Melbourne share-houses. She was a regular on the Melbourne music scene, which led to her signing with Warner Bros and moving to LA to make her debut album, Vows.

“As an artist, it’s your dream to be noticed for your work. When I sang with Gotye, it was a strange moment that made us semi-household names,” she says. “Suddenly I had access to working with producers like Timbaland and singer John Legend.

“To be able to get their attention without having to prove yourself was certainly a good feeling, and it isn’t lost on me the opportunities that came my way because of it.”

Kimbra is still good friends with Gotye (the stage name of Australian Wally De Backer, who now lives in Brooklyn). She also counts Daniel Johns as a close friend – she was inspired by his music growing up and he helped out on four tracks on her 2014 album The Golden Echo.

The pandemic saw Kimbra swap the East Village, Manhattan, apartment she lived in for seven years for a rental in Phoenicia in upstate New York.

“I thought I wanted a mountain escape, but turns out I really am a city girl,” she says. She now lives in Manhattan with her boyfriend and their dog, Nadi, which she bought from an Amish community in Philadelphia.

“I grew a deep love for the psychology of dogs and now train my friends’ dogs for free,” she says Kimbra is also hosting a new podcast, Playing with Fire, that takes us where she can’t with her studio albums.

There are deeper conversations about transcendence and finding nirvana with guests from priests to musicians and mystics.

“I think life is made up of few transcendent moments,” Kimbra says. “We can try to replicate them but you can’t force them.

“For me, I feel most transcendent when I am performing and when I see the audience also lose themselves in that moment.” ●

est known for her British TV series What Not to Wear of the early 2000s, in which the style guru wove her magic in women’s wardrobes, Trinny Woodall decided to take the plunge and start her beauty brand Trinny London in her mid-50s, and says her second-career renaissance is paying off.

Her namesake skincare line now complements the make-up, and is packed with active ingredients. Her serums are boosted just short of what you’d get from a doctor’s prescription.

Woodall was in Melbourne last year to promote her retail pop-up at Westfield Doncaster, which is open for just one more month.

Perhaps the key to her success is that Woodall tells it like it is – she imparts speedy beauty hacks that take you from day to night, chants the importance of a skincare routine and why regularity makes all the difference, and is a champion for swapping matt for dewy finishes.

When it comes to Woodall’s own skin, she’s glowing and confident.

Inside her wardrobe, you’ll find sequins and neon prints aplenty – and everything from a Prada bucket hat and a Zara leopard-print dress to a shimmery number or two from The Vampire’s Wife.

She is proof that her followers – affectionately known as Trinny Tribers – will travel far and wide to catch a glimpse of her, and are happy to swipe their credit cards and test her range on the back of their hands.

They savour her every beauty tip and feel good about it, too.

“I love making women feel better; it’s like my drug,” Woodall says from the penthouse suite of the Park Hyatt in Melbourne, where her social media team, make-up artist and PR army swan around the palatial apartment to make sure everything is as smooth as a freshly Botoxed forehead.

“I wanted to create products that worked, and that’s what pushed me to start this business,” she says. “After doing wardrobe makeovers, I observed what women wanted was to look fresher – not younger or older, but to

look like they’d had enough sleep, feel energised and have beautiful skin.

That was my mission to get that right.”

Woodall admits the planets didn’t align when she had her business epiphany.

“It couldn’t have come at a worse time for me as a woman,” she says of launching in 2017. “I was 50-plus, doing less TV work and I was in a house I couldn’t afford.

“It was the wrong time to start, but it was the right time to make a decision. I’m proof that taking a risk pays off.”

Woodall’s make-up faithful love her stackable products – creamy pots with names such as Golden Glow and Miracle Blur.

“People are always interested in how you shift a look using make-up; it’s transformative,” she says. “It’s not about turning someone into Penelope Cruz, but it’s about how can you give a woman her fresh skin back.”

Woodall looks back on her beauty faux pas and forgives her younger self these days.

“I wore No. 7 self-tan mousse when I was 18 and my friend’s parents would ring mine to say, ‘Pack an extra pair of sheets for Trinny.’ I was clearly leaving marks wherever I went,” she says, laughing.

Woodall also admits she wasn’t always comfortable in her own skin when growing up.

“I think my worst time for negative self-talk happened was when I was aged 13 to 30,” she says. “I had bad acne and it superseded everything I could see in the mirror.

“All I could see was lots of spots.

If I was dating, I would make sure the restaurant had down lighting and I would put my make-up on before bed so I looked good when I woke up next to a guy. It was super paranoia.

“When I turned 30, I had laser for the bad acne scars. Then I started my television career and had more confidence.

“It was a slow journey, but I’m the first to admit the most I have liked myself is now that I am in my 50s.” ●

Sullivan+Strumpf

pening a contemporary art gallery in Collingwood made sense for Australian gallerists and business partners Ursula Sullivan and Joanna Strumpf.

The pair met in Sydney in 1996 and opened their first gallery there in 2005, followed by Singapore in 2016.

They managed a portfolio of 25 artists between them, and continue to travel the world on the hunt for the best in contemporary artists, but it’s their connection to Melbourne makers that inspired them to open the space here at the end of last year.

“It felt like a no-brainer for us to do this as we have a lot of great clients in Melbourne already,” Sullivan says.

“Opening a gallery has long been up our sleeves as an option and, after lockdown, we really felt happy to be

The new Sullivan+Strumpf gallery, brought to life by interior designers Flack Studios, features big names including Lindy Lee, Polly Borland, Angela Tiatia, Alex Seton and Darren Sylvester.

It launched with a major solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Tony Albert, off the back of his smash-hit 2021 show, Conversations with Margaret Preston.

New to their art stable is contemporary artist Sam Jinks, who was born in Bendigo and exhibits regularly overseas.

His new work will be on show at their gallery this month.

“We have been representing Sam since 2013 and most of his work is

shown overseas. To bring this one back to his roots is quite significant,” Sullivan says. “His work is completely breathtaking, and no one has seen [it] in Melbourne for many years.”

Sullivan says contemporary art appeals to collectors because it taps into the political times we live in.

“Contemporary as a market has grown dramatically since we started in the ’90s and it’s still growing,” she says. “There is a huge appetite for it and people are drawn to it for the diversity of contemporary art.

“When you look at catalogues for Australian art there’s always the

same five to choose from – Boyd, Nolan, Tucker, Donaldson and Geoffrey Smart.

“Contemporary art offers a great range of voices, from indigenous to diverse groups.

“Contemporary art connects us to the here and now and brings us closer to the moment we’re in.”

The pair have just signed New Zealand-born ceramicist James Lemon, who has been based in Melbourne since 2012 and is known for his sculptural practices.

His works have been collected by the National Gallery of Victoria and JA N E R O C CA

the design stores of the NGV and Heide. Lemon is also one of the artists taking part in Melbourne Now at the NGV’s Ian Potter Centre, which starts in March.

Another Victorian artist on Sullivan+Strumpf’s roster is Yvette Coppersmith, known for her painterly portraits, self-portraits and still-life abstract expression.

Sullivan says the decision to open a gallery on the city fringe was also in part inspired by the news that the new NGV Contemporary art gallery will open in Southbank by 2028.

“When I’m in Collingwood I really feel the buzz in the air,” Sullivan says.

“There is a sense of excitement and it feels like a good match for contemporary art and for us to be there.” ●

EDUCATION There are many ways to help ease the stress as year 12 students face their final school year.

Support squad ISTOCK

or thousands of year 12 students, the new school year is a milestone. It’s the final year of VCE, and that means revision, homework, assignments, more revision and exams. Life might seem hectic and more than a little overwhelming, but there are ways to manage the months ahead.

Education experts say good organisational skills, having a support network to navigate the bumpy moments, focusing on the goals that matter, and making time to do things that nourish mental and physical health are all important.

On a practical level for VCE success, Nizam Abdallah, head of VCE performance at Mentone Grammar, advises his students to prepare revision resources for each subject as early as possible.

“By preparing early, you can determine what strategy or learning method works best for you,” he

“Try not to dwell on the past or worry about the future – focus on the present and factors within your control.” says. “The idea of revision resources is to use them as part of the VCE journey to continually practise answering questions and embed learning – practise really is the key.”

Katrina Brennan, principal of Shelford Girls’ Grammar, says organising books and equipment and a good sleep routine are crucial.

“Get your sleep pattern in order early on and find a way of winding down each night so you wake feeling refreshed each morning,” she says.

“The first month of school is also the time to think about your commitments. Think about what you can manage in terms of part-time jobs, extracurricular activities, study and making time to relax. Work out what you can pull back on during the busiest times of the VCE year.

“Setting and focusing on goals can help when motivation begins to wane. Know where you are headed and what you’re working towards and speak

NIZAM ABDALLAH

to careers advisors about what courses might be available and what interests you for next year.”

Managing stress is important for academic success and emotional wellbeing. A support network that might include mentors, teachers, sports coaches, friends and family is a valuable asset.

“Talking to someone you trust about how you’re feeling can take a weight off your shoulders,” Abdallah says. “Listen to your body and take regular study breaks. Get some fresh air and exercise, spend quality time with friends, family and pets, and sleep and eat well. Try not to dwell on the past or worry about the future – focus on the present and factors within your control.”

Brennan advises year 12 students to be realistic about what can be achieved during the busy year.

“You might have a number of assessments and commitments in a week and you can only do your best within those limitations,” she says. “Sometimes,

you may feel you haven’t done as well as you would have liked, but you need to put that behind you and focus on tomorrow.”

Diane Furusho, deputy principal student wellbeing at Haileybury College, says families play a significant role in supporting year 12 students.

“Don’t trivialise things by saying, ‘It’s only an exam’ or ‘It’s only year 12’. For your teenager, this may be the biggest situation they’ve dealt with. One of the best things you can do ... is to let your child express their frustrations and feelings and just listen,” she says. “You can also remind your child that there will be life beyond VCE. When they are taking a break from studying and homework, ask them what they’re looking forward to when VCE is over. It reminds them that there is an endpoint and that the stress ... won’t last forever.” ●

Wayne Gillespie architecture. Hecker Guthrie interiors. Paul Bangay gardens. A true Toorak triumvirate of designers has joined forces in the creation of this six-bedroom family house, found in a prestigious location metres away from Como House and Como Park, and close to Toorak Village.

The new occupants will not need much of an excuse to stay in. More than 1000 square metres offer up six bedrooms, five bathrooms and plentiful space for everybody to enjoy family time together.

The light-filled downstairs floor plan hosts a home gym that could also serve as a sixth bedroom if required.

Naturally, it overlooks the front garden pond. A double garage, study and open family, meals and living rooms can also be found downstairs, while the separate formal dining room comes with a travertine fireplace.

Upstairs are five bedrooms, four of which have built-in wardrobes and desks. Plenty of consideration has gone into making the main bedroom the sparkling jewel in the upstairs crown of this house: not only does it have private access to the sizeable first-floor terrace – which offers CBD skyline views – but the room also hosts a luxurious en suite, complete with double shower and egg bath.

Out the back, a sculptural pool-spa will get plenty of use and is overlooked by a sizeable covered entertaining terrace.

Back inside the house, myriad fine details, including leather-finished stone benchtops, limestone floors, electric sun blinds and a gas log fire, all affirm that plenty of thought has gone into the detail of this property.

It can all be found behind a high-walled, formal garden,
