I am lucky to be able to say that I continue to be surrounded by people who know far more than me in their specific trade and I couldn’t do without them. From my team of hair and makeup artists, to photographers, videographers, assistants, marketing, web and social media managers, beauty editor, writers, sub editor and editorial coordinators, it takes a huge team to produce the world-class imagery that I am proud to output.

Some people may have thought I was crazy to start a luxury fashion magazine in a time when other established magazines were downsizing, but I just knew that it was something I had to do and that I could make it work.

I am over the moon to report that our advertising sales are up, our established clients are sticking with us and we are welcoming new clients all the time.

Like most industries, we have evolved and we combine a strong digital and social media element to complement our publication and I credit this with at least some of our burgeoning success.

Throughout my career – OK, life – I may have been accused of putting the cart before the horse. I have this natural ability to jump straight into the deep end.

This book is named The Fashion Issue and in it we speak to Akira Isogawa about his life, career and how he came into the world of fashion. Among others, we also hear from Paul Vasileff, creative director of Paolo Sebastian, about why he still maintains his regional roots, when he could very well be living and working in Rome or Paris.

When I believe in something enough, I am going to make that belief a reality.

They are both inspiring reads and Paul’s words struck a particular chord with me when he said “there’s no place like home,” a feeling that resonates with why I returned to Newcastle.

I guess in hindsight, it all started way back when I was working as a junior stylist in North America. I was having the time of my life, living and working in what I then believed, was the most exciting place on earth.

We were absolutely delighted when the beautiful Tegan Martin took our call from the jungles of South Africa, having just finished her time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.

My career path was becoming clearer by the day and I was rubbing shoulders with some of the industry’s hottest creatives. I badly wanted to make a name for myself and to excel as a stylist – much to my parents’ dismay, as I’d turned my back on a career as a psychologist to pursue a much riskier path.

We had been dying to speak to her and ask if she would be our next cover. Tegan is a true shining star and we couldn’t have been happier when she agreed to be our muse for Book Three.

It was during this time that I was offered an opportunity as a costume designer for a feature film. I had worked in film but never a feature. I accepted without hesitation.

It was only that night that I began to doubt myself: I’d never done this before, what did I know?

Not to be disheartened, I surrounded myself with people who knew much, much more than I did, and very quickly – and without letting anything on – I learnt from the best. My first admission into the world of film was a wholehearted success and led me on to much bigger and better things.

I’m not saying all of this to blow my own trumpet, but in order to share two pieces of advice I received and carried with me throughout my career: one, surround yourself with passionate, driven people and two: if you are going to do something, do it well or not at all.

24 | Façon | Book 3

So, before I sign off for another book – and to get back to my initial point – I would like to admit that yes, the cart probably was in front of the horse in some respect when we first started out, but that headstrong beast is now well and truly out in front and she is on the very brink of take off.

I hope you enjoy Book Three. I took creative risks and I sense people may either love it or hate it, but that’s what I believe fashion and the arts is all about. Creating a conversation.

Talk more and take those risks: who knows where you may end up.

BY R O N B AY

This year marks the anniversary of one of fashion’s most revered couture labels.

Spanning 70 years and seven creative directors, the House of Dior has revolutionised modern culture and fashion.

If there has ever been a name that so encapsulates elegance and femininity, it is Christian Dior.

In celebration of the 70th anniversary, we take a look at the defining moments in Dior’s history and the creative directors who exemplified its beauty and style.

Special thanks to Dior.

Viva La Revolución C hrist i an Dior

1947 – 1957 It was post-war 1947 and the great fashion houses had begun to slowly emerge from a time of tragedy. France and its people were still suffering from the effects of rationing and unspeakable loss. Yet slowly, an injection of life and hope was beginning to return to the greatest of European cities and a little known fashion illustrator by the name of Christian Dior was about to turn the city on its fashionable head.

In 1946, Christian Dior was to open his couture fashion house at a townhouse at Avenue Montaigne, now home to a number of couture fashion houses including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Fendi, Valentino, Ralph Lauren and, of course, Dior. In February 1947, Dior showcased his first collection to fashion’s most influential elitists.

The Paris show was to be an overwhelming success and within days, the name Christian Dior had become a resounding force in fashion from Sydney to New York. It was said that Dior – who was recovering from financial ruin at the time – had revolutionised fashion.

Mr Dior was now world famous.

The House of Dior quickly expanded into fragrance, with the release of “Miss Dior” – which is still adored the world over – and was the first couture house to include accessories in its collection.

Worn by the likes of the great 1940s actresses – Marlene Dietrich, Rita Hayworth and Ava Gardner – the House of Dior truly encapsulated Dior’s vision of avant-garde elegance, which is still reflected in today’s modern collection 70 years on.

A Star on the Rise Yv e s Sa i nt La ur e nt

1958 – 1960 With the tragic and untimely passing of Christian Dior in 1957, his legacy was handed over to a young designer whose star was on the rise.

Yves Saint Laurent – Dior’s first and only assistant – was to become the House of Dior’s second creative director.

His tenure at Dior was met with both success and downfall. His final spring/summer collection was an unheralded fall from grace, with Paris’ rich aristocracy calling the collection “beatnik” and not suitable for Dior’s high-society clientele.

In 1960, his time at Dior came to an unexpected end when he was called upon for national service, after completing just six collections with the House.

Saint Laurent was again met with disappointment on his return, when he found that his position had been replaced. Yet with a fortuitous twist, it was through the House of Dior’s then hefty compensation payment that he was to create his own namesake label, Yves Saint Laurent.

Royal Standard Marc B o han

1961 – 1989 Bohan’s time at the House of Dior marked the longest reign under one creative director and placed Dior as a firm favourite among the royal set.

His collection was a return to the classical elegance that was originally associated with the house.

As the titled aristocracy enjoyed a gilded life on the beaches of St Tropez, or were spotted discreetly sunbathing as guests aboard the yachts of those who may have lacked breeding but made up for it in wealth, the House of Dior’s clientele was as prestigious as the brand itself.

Bohan was charged with the design of both Princess Grace and Princess Caroline’s bridal collection, along with that of Silvia Sommerlath, who was to wed King Carl Eustal of Sweden.

It was with the support of Princess Grace that Dior opened its first Baby Dior boutique, which carries on today as a fashionable addition to the House.

Ciao, Paris G i anfranco Fer r e

1989 – 1996 The late ’80s brought about a new direction to the House of Dior with the introduction of Gianfranco Ferre, who, controversially at the time, was Dior’s first creative director not of French descent.

Ferre was to take inspiration from his previous architectural training, telling Esquire magazine in 1988 that the design of a dress, furniture, a house, a room, a street and a city were all of the same process. ‟As an architect, I learned to think and express myself on flat forms, on paper, and to imagine the contour of the lines of a design,” he said.

It was perhaps out of this mentality that one of Dior’s most iconic pieces to date, the Lady Dior bag, was born.

Launched in September 2005, Lady Dior was gifted to the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and was immediately adopted by the style icon, who ordered the charming accessory in every colour.

Images courtesy Dior

Photographed the world over, Lady Dior soon became one of the most sought-after accessories by women across the globe. In 1996, in homage to the Princess, the bag was officially named, Lady Dior, with her blessing.

Since then, some of the world's most beautiful women have been named the ‘face of’ Lady Dior, including Carla Bruni, Diane Kruger, Monica Bellucci and today Marion Cotillard.

It was well-regarded that Ferre was ‘the architect of fashion’ and his reign as Dior’s fourth creative director was met with applause.

Fall from Grace J o hn Ga l l i a no

1997 – 2011 Galliano was instrumental in sexualising fashion and incited scandal not just in his designs but also in his own social life. His was the beginning of an era where designers almost overshadowed their respective couture house and Galliano’s personality was perhaps bigger than many of the celebrities who wore his collections.

A post-modernist, Galliano’s work was that of a true creative genius, who referenced bygone eras to create a wholly new idea of fashion and how it was to be worn. Most famous for his outrageous designs and thought-provoking, scandalous advertising campaigns, the Galliano era was most certainly a very different time to that seen before in the classically elegant, feminine designs.

Sadly, Galliano’s time at Dior may forever be marked by his own demise and public downfall when he was suspended by the house in 2011 for his anti-Semitic remarks, with Dior’s chairman and CEO, Sidney Toledano, denouncing his statements.

“We unequivocally condemn the statements made by John Galliano, which are a total contradiction to the long-standing core values of Christian Dior.”

A Return to Romance Ra f Si m o ns

2012 – 2015 Raf Simons's tenure at Christian Dior saw a revitalisation of the classic Dior silhouettes with a resurgence of the A-line, the H-line and the Bar Jacket. It could be said that Simons brought about a sense of calm in what had been a rather tremulous few years. It was thought by some that the House of Dior had ever so slightly lost its sense of just who the “Dior woman” was, with Simons revealing in an interview to UK Vogue: “The Chanel woman? I don’t need to see, I smell her from around the corner, but I don’t recognize the Dior woman, I want to work on that fast.”

As 2015 drew to a close, it was time for Raf Simons to take his final bow before handing over the reins to Dior’s soon-to-be most famous woman yet.

32 | Façon | Book 3

Simons’ reign saw a return to greatness – or at least positive public relations – for the House, with a 60 per cent rise in sales from 2011. It was also a time of increased celebrity power, with notable ambassadors and red carpet appearances from A listers such as Rihanna, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Watson and Dakota Johnson (Pictured).

Dior’s First Lady Maria Grazia Chiuri

2016 – current As Dior enjoys its 70th anniversary it also has much to celebrate in the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri.

The new “Dior woman” is uniquely hers while still paying tribute to the creative directors who have come before her. Chiuri’s latest collection is modern and fresh, yet subtly influenced by the House of Dior’s elegant lineage.

With a young daughter herself, Chiuri is perhaps the most relatable creative director for the contemporary woman and her collections have received the admiration and respect of fashion’s most powerful players.

The brand, it seems, has now come full circle and after all these years, is still revolutionising fashion.

TEGAN MARTIN

PUSHING BACK BOUNDARIES: THE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND WORDS: AMY LOVAT She could have been forgiven for tapping her heels together three times and whispering, there’s no place like home, but like most challenges she has faced, Tegan Martin simply put on her trademark smile and lifted her A-game.

Since being crowned Miss Universe Australia in 2014, Tegan has been no stranger to pushing her limits and placing herself outside her comfort zone.

She has appeared on our television screens firstly on Celebrity Apprentice and most recently on I’m a Celebrity… Get me Out of Here!, where she rubbed shoulders with new-found friends, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Lisa Curry.

Both appearances have given viewers the opportunity to get to know another side of Tegan and have provided an excellent medium to throw off the ‘pageant’ and ‘beauty queen’ labels that don’t do justice to the woman behind the beach babe looks.

Tegan is a true example of not judging a book by its cover.

She is a model, TV star and brand ambassador with a down-to-earth energy that befits her coastal roots. However, it is perhaps her most recent project as mentor to adolescent girls that is her most important role to date, and she was happy to take time out of her busy schedule to talk to us about her take on social media in today’s society, her new style direction, and the about-to-be launched program, Universal Confidence.

After time spent in the South African jungle away from constant phone calls, and no mindless hours spent scrolling other people’s feeds, Tegan has emerged with a fresh perspective on the importance of living life in the moment.

With celebrities and influencers almost expected to showcase their every move, the drain can at times be understandably full on, something that Tegan admits to realising while digitally detoxing during her time in the jungle.

“Nat, Lisa and I talked a lot in the jungle about the need to be present,” she says. “It’s hard to not be addicted to your phone.

“I don’t find it healthy to constantly document my life, because it means you’re never fully present.

“The internet and social media play a huge role in our happiness and it was liberating to not have my phone with me in the jungle.”

While in the jungle, Tegan’s passion for educating young girls was also further fuelled, and she and fellow Miss Universe contestant Nia Sanchez are soon to launch their new program, Universal Confidence: a series of workshops for adolescent girls on health, body image, self-defence and using social media as a positive influence.

It was during Tegan’s time at the Miss Universe finals that she met Miss USA Nia Sanchez, and the two began workshopping ideas on how they could turn their crazy pageant experience into a force for social good.

Nia, a black belt in taekwondo since the age of 12, was passionate that selfdefence should be taught in schools, and Tegan had spoken at a few programs for adolescent girls.

“Out of everything that came from competing in Miss Universe – the radio media, TV interviews, brand ambassador gigs and photo shoots – speaking to young girls was the most fulfilling and inspiring experience for both of us,” says Tegan.

Over a long breakfast, the pair came up with a way to reach the hundreds of girls who reached out to them daily through email and social media, asking for tips on confidence, health and how to defend against bullying.

Tegan is also studying a health coaching course and hopes to soon complete her nutrition degree, both of which will be invaluable content for the workshops.

“My most important message is health from the inside out. When I was in my late teens, I was smashed by the pressure of what I thought I should look like,” says Tegan. “I was taking fat burner tablets, comparing myself to photoshopped images, and my lack of health knowledge meant that I ended up with chronic fatigue and the longterm health problems were disastrous.”

Along with a full schedule of events, media appearances and exciting brand collaborations – she’s remaining hush-hush on that for the present – Tegan’s style continues to evolve as we see a more sophisticated, highfashion look emerge.

She considers herself lucky to work with some of Australia’s most talented designers, including Jason Grech, Mariam Seddiq and Aje, and she is fast becoming one to watch on fashion’s ‘best dressed’ society circuit.

“I’m moving away from the bright pageant look into more high-end monochromatic, which is much more my style now,” she says.

As her star continues to rise, we sense that Tegan is now more focused than ever; it is clear she has a story to tell and there is a captivated audience who want to know the many layers behind that mega-watt smile.

T o n i M a t i c e v s k i Toni Maticevski

W

ith exquisite attention to detail and an instinctive natural eye for cut, texture, finish and silhouette, it is no surprise Toni Maticevski has become an icon of Australian fashion.

Beginning his designing career working for Donna Karan in New York after graduating fashion design with honours at RMIT, Toni went on to hone and distinguish his skills, enabling a balance between art and fashion in his work. In 2002, he won the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival ‘New Designer Award’ and soon after, presented his collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Sydney. From here, Toni Maticevski was a highlight on the runway in Australia, and when, in 2006, Toni was invited to present his collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, it was a pivotal moment in his career. This catapulted Toni into an even greater spotlight, becoming a quick favourite of stylists and celebrities alike. With a strong sense of imagination and a devil-may-care attitude, Toni continues to create timeless pieces and cement his position at the forefront of global fashion.

How would you sum up your label’s style?

Unexpected modern elegance with a sinister twist.

How would you describe your latest collection?

I think it’s taken on a more rebellious attitude. There’s a natural exploration that meets a distressed romance with a delicate collision of the past and its learnings onto a richer considered future.

Where do you seek inspiration?

I don’t necessarily seek inspiration. I am not inspired by a single perspective for any collection, rather I have ideas that are resting and that find their place in their time. I think this way the collections don’t have a date or a moment and they can traverse through time with other seasons.

What has been the greatest influence on your career?

I would have to say my customer. She is always considered

images courtesy of

Toni Maticevski

in every part of what I do. I love their passion and excitement and their ability to see my ideas and form their own considered options. To me, this is more inspiring than anything. Who doesn’t want to see a woman feeling like she has her armour protecting and supporting her, and part of that is what I create.

Who has had an enduring impact or influence on your work? Do you have a ‘muse’?

I don’t have a muse. Again, I would have to say that I pay attention to my customer and the women I know who wear my designs. They really educate and inform me on so many levels. I get to experiment and they let me. I find there has been a natural connect in how we both develop and explore ideas together, and how attitude and style tastes change along the journey.

What is your philosophy when it comes to fashion?

I think personally it is one of themed beautiful crafts and art forms in that one gets to wear it and bring life to it. I think that sometimes the focus is directed to other things that are about position/ hierarchy/ money / power and influence and sometimes the fashion is the ugly sister added on to a system that is about a machine. But honestly, I think for me it’s about being imaginative and having that imagination inspire others.

What is your definition of beauty?

It’s like that feeling when you have the sun kiss your skin on an early morning glow. It’s a feeling you get from a person, from an object. The appearance is purely and totally a personal one.

What do you predict will be trending this season?

I have no idea. I don’t pay attention to trends. They’re boring and made up by people who have no imagination.

How do you think Australian fashion is viewed on the world stage?

I don’t believe that successful Australian designers are receiving recognition because they are from Australia. I think it’s all about how relevant their collections are in the overall fashion landscape and not because of where they are from. I think that people would be surprised to see so many successful Australian brands that are in the market place as opposed to the media space.

There’s a bit of disconnect there.

What is your favourite fashion ‘must-have’?

For me personally, it’s a great coat. It’s one of those items that, if cut well, can really lift any look.

A k i r a Akira Isogawa

W

hen Akira Isogawa landed in Sydney in 1986, his maiden voyage across the Pacific, the first thing he noticed was the sky.

“The beautiful blue sky and not many people, that was my first impression,” he remembers.

Having left Japan, working holiday visa in hand, Akira immediately felt that Sydney – and Australia in general – was a place of opportunity, the likes of which he would never have had in his conservative hometown of Kyoto.

The Japanese native stepped off the plane that day with a background in social welfare and a burgeoning interest in fashion but never did he imagine that he’d one day launch an eponymous fashion label that would see him become one of the most iconic designers on Australian shores.

Despite originally pursuing a different career path, Akira admits to having an innate interest in fashion and clothing from early on, and it was a lack of variety that led him to start making his own clothes.

“From a consumer point of view, I used to buy a lot of clothes for myself and one of the reasons I became interested in making garments back in the ’80s was there not being much choice in what you could get,” he says.

“It was limited; that’s why I thought I might make garments for myself.”

It all began at the kitchen table. He bought a small domestic sewing machine and attended a TAFE course, which taught

him the basics. However, Akira views the skills he learnt and his aptitude for creative design as two very different things.

“For anyone who is serious about being involved in the fashion industry, it’s essential to learn those basics,” he says, “but I use that knowledge and those skills as a tool and not to dictate a creative direction.”

With his newfound passion for sewing, Akira realised if he were to make a living out of design, he’d need to start making clothes for the market that demanded them most – women.

“Back then (in the ’80s) it was only women who invested money and time on dressing,” he says. “I like to think that my designs are for all women, an ageless muse.”

The Akira woman isn’t so much about a particular look or a certain body shape – these are constructs that the designer finds limiting – instead, being an Akira woman is a state of mind, indiscriminate of physical attributes.

“Confidence,” he states. “I like to think that my designs are confident, with a strong sense of direction.”

The influences of the East are evident in Akira’s designs, though he manages to balance the homage to his heritage with wearability, creating an aesthetic that transcends borders.

“It’s a fine balance you have to find,” he says. “It’s important to not just chase the trends, but at the same time we have to sell clothes. You need to establish your own handwriting, your own signature style, and you need to satisfy your soul, really.”

Akira is something of a chameleon when it comes to the design

Inspiration on the other hand, is something Akira finds everywhere he looks: “Often I find it when I have a conversation, or through seeing an exhibition, maybe entertainment, maybe a movie. I think it depends on how open you are. For inspiration to come into your realm, into your world, you’ve gotta welcome it.”

For someone whose designs are so vibrant and colourful, Akira’s own sense of style is more subdued, with the designer favouring a darker palette, but there’s a perfectly good reason for his subtlety.

“I feel I’m more focused on dressing others,” he says. “My purpose is to make sure that creativity comes through in a form of fashion for others, so what I wear becomes a kind of uniform.”

Though he is known for his wearable style, Akira admits to enjoying the freedom that costume design allows, something he experienced whilst working on the costumes for the Australian Ballet’s production of Romeo and Juliet. He likens the process to designing couture: “Having a large budget and not having to think about production means you’re not restricted by saleability or price point.”

His designs are heavily exhibited both here and internationally, and it’s clear that Akira Isogawa’s handiwork has come to be

Since his arrival in 1986, Akira has spent more years living in the land Down Under than he ever did in Japan, and his awardwinning status is testament to the way our nation has warmly embraced this expatriate. In fact, he was publicly recognised soon after launching his label.

“I was awarded Designer of the Year along with a Women’s Designer of the Year award,” Akira says. “All I really felt was thankful to the country, Australia, for accepting me. I wasn’t born here, my family are still based in Japan but people do accept me and it was amazing to learn that attitude, the sense of acceptance.”

It’s clear that Australia is home for Akira Isogawa. His humble nature, his dedication to clothing women in confidence and his contribution to fashion have ensured great success for the designer here, whilst his undeniable talent has cemented his icon status. He may have admired the country’s beauty all those years ago when he stepped on to the tarmac, but all things considered, he has made the place more beautiful and our blue skies are happy to have him.

L

ike most children of the ’90s, Paul Vasileff grew up on a diet of Disney and fairy tales, and while many of us look back fondly upon our childhood favourites, Paul has carried these nostalgic stories into the future, where they continue to infiltrate his life and his work.

Simon Cecere

He is a storyteller, yes, but unlike Disney, he tells his tales not on the silver screen, but through the threads, fabrics and silhouettes of his couture designs.

If his name doesn’t ring any bells, perhaps it’s because the designer is better known as Paolo Sebastian. At just 26 years old, this South Australian native has accomplished more in the fashion world than many twice his age could hope to achieve.

Paul’s education began early – he first dabbled in the craft at his nonna’s feet, a talented seamstress who viewed sewing as an art form and helped him design his first dress at age 11. As a teenager, he took sewing, drafting and pattern-making lessons once a week after school, while also interning with a local tailor, and in 2007 he launched Paolo Sebastian.

The memory of his first show is one of his most cherished: “I was 17, I had no professional knowledge and no contacts in the industry but putting on that show was so much fun and I learnt so much from it.

“Having all my friends and family around helping me, knowing they were behind me, was such a nice feeling.”

His artillery of practical knowledge came in handy at 19, when he learnt he’d been accepted into a scholarship program at Milan’s

prestigious Istituto Europeo di Design, an award he’d applied for at his parents’ suggestion and had forgotten about until he received the call.

It was a moment that would change his life forever: 19 years old, having never lived away from home and yet here he was, packing up his life to live in a foreign country for a year.

“At 19, you’re away for a week and you think you’ve missed out on everything!” he laughs. “It was really daunting and I hated it for the first three months.”

With his Italian/Bulgarian heritage, it wasn’t long before Paul began to pick up the language and the more he got to know the city, the more settled he felt.

“That’s when things really started happening,” he says. “I met Giorgio Armani – a true gentleman. He was so humble and really took the time to sit with me and look through my portfolio. I attended the Versace fashion show, went to Naomi Campbell’s 25year anniversary with Dolce & Gabbana – all of these incredible things started to happen and made me feel more at home.”

Aside from the celebrity perks, the course itself was invaluable according to Paul, and the calibre of experts at the school gave him access to some of the industry’s most celebrated talent.

“There’s a real focus on design theory and fashion history,” he says. “My patternmaking teacher was a patternmaker for Dolce & Gabbana, my knitwear teacher was a knitwear designer for Prada. They were incredible people to learn from and without this opportunity, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Since his first show, Paul and his label have come a long way.

Today, a Paolo Sebastian runway is something of a theatrical experience. His recent showing of his Wildflowers Collection at the 2016 Adelaide Fashion Festival saw the creation of a real life meadow, complete with grass grown in the mountains, and dandelions and hay infused with flower essences to have the room smelling like a warm summer’s day.

The same year, Paul was also enlisted by Australian Vogue to design a custom corsetry piece for the June issue’s Kim Kardashian West spread: “Whether you like her or not, she’s got such an influence in the industry and beyond that, and it was such a huge honour to be dressing her and working with Vogue.”

He also recently showed one of his collections in Paris; a surreal and magical experience. “I had dreamed of it my whole life and to see it come to fruition… it was like watching a movie of it happening to someone else,” he says.

While it’s one thing to be heralded in the fashion industry, to be recognised on a broader platform is a whole new world, one in

48 | Façon | Book 3

which Paul found himself centre stage when he was awarded the 2017 Young Australian of the Year Award. He is the first fashion designer to be a recipient in the history of the award and is still shocked to have been chosen: “It is a huge honour and it’s great for the industry. People are starting to see there is value and talent here.”

He is also pleased that Australia is beginning to take fashion and its role in society more seriously.

“Fashion shapes the way we live and it’s a real reflection of who we are as a country and as a society,” he says. “Gabrielle Chanel changed women’s fashion by introducing pants for women and that has changed how women live their lives. Fashion is telling of an era and it has the ability to transform people.”

His love for storytelling extends into his designs, and he finds inspiration in a myriad places.

“Generally when I’m working with a collection, there’s always something that triggers and sets it off and I know when I have

that moment it’s going to set the scene for the theme of the collection,” he says.

client and put it into the dress and it becomes so much more than just a dress.”

“I was on holiday in Bulgaria when I had the idea for the Snow Maiden collection. I came across some art work and started researching Slavic fairy tales and decided to adapt that. The garments kind of told the story. Those moments, I don’t know when they’ll come or why but I’m grateful when they do.”

Choosing to remain in South Australia, Paul credits some of his success to the digital age.

For his custom designs, Paul’s clients become his muse and he has developed a real talent for entwining their stories meaningfully into his designs. A recent example is a dress he created for a friend’s wedding: “Her grandmother had passed away just before the big day and she wanted to walk down the aisle to Moon River, her favourite song,” he says.

Unsure if she’d be able to complete the walk without breaking down, Paul suggested an alternative: “I decided to have the lyrics of the song embroidered into the train of her dress, so that her grandmother was with her on the day. That’s what I love about the couture process, you can take little things like that from the

“It doesn’t matter where you are in the world,” he says. “As long as you have WIFI, you’re accessible; the internet is an amazing and powerful way to reach people.”

Yet with all of his international acclaim, this young designer has had every opportunity to relocate to a more glamorous location, but he hasn’t been lured. His reason?

“I have so much support here and the state has done and given so much to me, I feel it would be a disservice to turn around and leave,” he says. “My time in Milan really was an amazing experience, but I had no one to share it with.”

With his love of nostalgia and fairy tales already established, we can’t help but hear a sentiment from The Wizard of Oz echoed in Paul’s words. After all, ‘there’s no place like home’.

It is both Adrian’s childhood nickname and an acronym for our creative union – ‘Adrian Joins Edwina’.

How would you sum up your label’s style?

Aje is an Australian fashion house dedicated to raw beauty, tough femininity and effortless cool.

What is the inspiration behind your latest collection?

We drew inspiration for our AW17 collection – “La Danse Gitane” (The Gypsy Dance) – from a trip we took last year to a magical region in the south of France, Camargue. It is a region very rich in Spanish and French gypsy culture and we were completely captivated by the uniqueness of the landscape and the depth and contrast of the region’s traditions.

Who has had an enduring impact or influence on your work? Do you have a ‘muse’?

There are many designers, artists and people whose work I admire but I am becoming more inspired and enthralled by those humans who are able to balance an extraordinary work life with an extraordinary life. It is a beautiful thing to be consumed by your craft, but it can also be an escape. I think it takes great strength and courage to live and breathe your craft and to live and breathe life… not to make your craft your life.

What is your philosophy when it comes to fashion?

Fashion is forever changing and now more than ever, the boundaries of fashion are completely blurred. I work in fashion, however, I am a lover of style.

What is your definition of beauty?

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

What has been a career highlight for you?

There have been many career highlights. It has indeed been a rollercoaster of a journey and is constantly full of surprises but the greatest pride I have on a daily basis derives from the amazing family we have created and the daily progression of our brand.

What do you predict will be trending this season?

I think never has there been a time more so than now where everything is trending. It is a very exciting time in fashion – it really feels like a revolution is taking place. There’s an amazing energy in the air.

aliver was established in 2009 by designer Roni Cross. Worn by the likes of IT girl Hailey Baldwin and the world’s most fashionable tot, North West, Kaliver is a label that should be hanging in every fashionable wardrobe. In 2016 Kaliver was announced a winner at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Project NextGen and since then has continued to develop beautiful collections that truly represent its ethos: Distinctly Feminine; Absolutely Empowering.

How would you describe your latest collection?

Our latest collection pulls on the strings of wearablefashion. I pulled rouge back to be wearable, to be the garment you can’t live without. Rouge is intended to be layered over one-another. I also focused on silhouettes, and steered away from printed fabrics. I brought this collection back to the true Kaliver roots; the simplicity of beautiful fabrics, focusing on construction, quality, design lines, and silhouette.

Where do you seek inspiration?

My inspiration manifests differently at different times of the year. It could come from a feeling, event, person, or object. This collection was based on concrete and gemstones, I also have a secret muse for this collection, and I pulled a boho vibe from them.

What do you predict will be trending this season?

Tailored oversized coats, military influenced designs, and grunge streetwear.

he Jean Bas label is one synonymous with style and sophistication, and not surprisingly, the same can be said of the designer herself, Jean Bas. Remarkably, it was after a personal tragedy in her childhood that Jean Bas, the couturier, was born. She established her self-titled label in 1981 and quickly became renowned for her tailored aesthetic and exquisite textiles. Now Jean Bas creates one-off masterpieces for her clients that will journey with them throughout the milestones of their lives. Her clothes could go anywhere in the world and remain chic, stylish and beautiful.

How would you sum up your label’s style?

Architecture for the body.

How would you describe your latest collection?

In the ‘80s and ‘90s I designed collections, now I produce a stream of creations. They don’t have seasons. The clients have no region. My creations are constantly roaming the globe, through all seasons, at any given time. They flow and merge together; it’s as if I write another chapter of my narrative.

What is the inspiration behind your latest collection?

Each creation is inspired by collaboration with my clients.

Style and dressing is a process of self-discovery and joy.

Where do you seek inspiration?

Inspiration comes from unexpected places. I work to pay attention to the world around me, to stay awake, listen and learn.

What has been the greatest influence on your career?

As a very young girl I lost my home to a devastating house fire.

The local community donated clothing to our family. I learnt to remodel these pieces on an old Singer sewing machine kindly gifted to me by a neighbour. It seems God often wraps his gifts to us in problems.

Who has had an enduring impact or influence on your work? Do you have a muse?

Madeleine Vionnet is the mother of all bias cutting. Her ability to create something astonishing from so little has always influenced the ways in which I solve design problems. Her humanity has been an inspiration to me.

What is your philosophy when it comes to fashion?

Fashion is a verb. It’s something one does. I am always doing.

What is your definition of beauty?

Beauty is about the unusual, the unique, but sometimes it’s about the ordinary that I am seeing in a new and particular way.

People become more beautiful with the passing of years as the soul reveals the light within: the inner joy and contentment that radiates through to the observer, whomever that may be.

Who have you collaborated with creatively?

I have collaborated with many throughout my career. My work family: textile designers, tailors, graphic artists, manufacturers throughout Europe and Asia, filmmakers, painters and musicians. When you’re building something that needs to rise up from the ground, a sculpture that can be experienced from all sides, collaboration brings an intensity of focus that generates possibility.

What has been a career highlight for you?

One night in 1991, I stood in front of the ‘New Seasons’ window of David Jones on Elizabeth Street. The windows faced out onto Sydney’s CBD and people came to the city just to visit them. As a design student I would tell myself, ‘I’m going to be in those windows one day’. And there it was, my spring collection. The mosaic of colours sat amongst the iconic David Jones floral displays. It was the ’90s version of going ‘viral’. In the Australian fashion industry, you earned that window. It was a tipping point for me. An acknowledgment: the best fashion retailer in the land had found a space for my label in their front window.

What do you predict will be trending this season?

There’s a shift in this idea of ‘trending’. People are seeking authenticity. They want to know how things are made and where; they’re seeking a story. I have best friends in my wardrobe and we’ve travelled the world together. It’s the journeys that the clothes will go on that help make meaning of our choices.

How do you think Australian fashion is viewed on the world stage?

National boundaries are currently undergoing a transformation.

The way we move, travel and understand one another is changing. The global stage demands uniqueness and is more concerned with where clothes are made and less concerned with where a designer is born. Design well, and the world will pay attention. I don’t think it’s a national status, I believe it’s a personal influence.

What is your favourite fashion ‘must-have’?

When it comes to the body, there’s nothing I love more than structure. A jacket and a classic well-cut trouser (hat and gloves optional).

Our work is drawn from a shared source, coloured with spice and nostalgia. We’re inspired by the textures and landscapes of our memories and everyday experiences – from food, family, childhood, travel and cinema. We dream of long train journeys and imagine languid afternoons in dappled sunlight under an old fig tree, or at home with a record playing with shadows deep into the evening. We tell our tales by recollecting and conjuring each garment like a moment, or an everyday scene – like Waiting for Jack; like Stuck in Ueno; like We’re All Mad Here; like Irreversible. We also draw inspiration from the sea and the bush, immersing ourselves in the natural landscape as much as we can.

Perched high above the city lights, they were lost in a world of poetic thoughts.

Buckles are front and centre in accessories, the bigger, the better, with animal print, badges and Swarovski crystals embellishing handbags and footwear.

Here are some of the NEWEST FRAGRANCES to hit our shores this winter.

professionals and part owners Sally and Sarah are keen to emphasize Coco’s evidence based practices and progressive holistic approach.

“We test every product and treatment before offering it to our clients. We need to know and understand the outcomes and we only offer the very best on the market. All of our clients have the reassurance of being seen by a registered nurse and the potential for a medical review of any worrying skin problems if necessary, prior to treatment,” says Sally.

Sally and Sarah use their knowledge of skincare products and brands to also advise individual clients on how to tailor their daily routine, but both agree that there is one very simple and low-cost product everyone should use: sunscreen.

Throughout the year the fresh-faced pair also use a combination of different treatments to boost their naturally beautiful complexions, complement their product use and combat sun damage and fine lines.

“We are both very much about enhancing our skin’s natural appearance and all of Coco’s well trained team are experts at delivering the treatments to achieve a very subtle look.

“What are you going to do with your life, son?”

It was the age-old question that opened John Whitaker’s eyes to a whole new world.

“I’m going to work with diamonds, Dad,” was John’s reply.

As a fourth-generation jeweller, going into the family business and following in his father’s footsteps was a logical choice for a boy who had grown up in the industry.

However, John admits that initially, this was the last thing on his mind. In fact, if there was one thing John knew he wasn’t going to do, it was to become a jeweller.

“I was often dragged into the family store on weekends when I would much rather be at the beach,” he recalls.

Evidently, life had other plans for John and about the age of 21, he packed his bags and moved to Santa Monica for nine months to attend the prestigious training college, Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

During John’s time in the US, he attended workshops and trade shows, mixing with some of the top jewellery designers in the world and seeing gems worth millions.

“I was 22 years old and this was a whole new world,” he says. “A mega world of jewellery that was a million miles from Newcastle.”

It was during this time that John developed a lifelong love for design and working with gemstones.

On his return to Newcastle he learnt everything he could about the industry, managing the stores and staff in the family business before taking over the reins in 2006.

Now at the helm, John could drive the business forward, with his passion for designing custom pieces front and centre in his mind.

“Like most industries and businesses, we needed to find a way to stay relevant,” John says. “In 2008 the GFC hit and a lot of our established clientele stopped buying high-end pieces.”

It was during this time that John decided to embrace change and was one of the first adopters of computeranimated design (CAD), which allowed him to combine his creativity with state-of-the-art technology.

Many of his peers questioned if he was taking the business in the right direction, but it allowed John to translate his designs into a 3D model and by doing so, he was able to create timeless pieces that were completely unique to each and every customer.

In terms of inspiration, John says he finds this in his clients, and in the stones he works with.

“Often the stone provides the inspiration and the ‘story’ and I just bring together the elements to create something different and new,” he says.

John also believes in making the experience as memorable as possible for his clients and he spends a lot of time listening to their ideas and working with them to create and design an heirloom piece that will carry its story throughout time.

“I always focus on design and every design has a unique story,” he says. “The story starts with the stone and it is a privilege to be a part of the process.”

Jo Wilson and Sharyn Pavey

A

step into the unknown is a journey that many entrepreneurs can relate to. Taking that step with one’s close friend gives success an even sweeter taste. In 2012, Jo Wilson and Sharyn Pavey created the accessories brand Willow & Zac: a range of individual, statement handbags. In a relatively short period of time the label has become a name associated with quality and good taste, with their collections coveted by a national and international market.

How would you sum up your label’s style?

Willow & Zac is all about practical shapes with a design edge. Our shapes tend to rely on clean lines and minimal hardware. The edge comes from the leathers we use – metallic, embossed suedes and leathers, colour blocking, or combinations of different leathers.

How would you describe your latest collection?

Our current range features croc-embossed suedes, metallic and floral leathers, and a strong monochromatic theme. We have also incorporated a nod to the (Chloeled) ’70s boho trend with tassel and suede detailing.

Grover using MAC Cosmetics

Where do you seek inspiration?

We spend a lot of time talking to our customers, and to women in general, about their lifestyles and the way they use their handbags. In the end, we design for, and are inspired by, our customers.

What has been the greatest influence on your career?

Ah, is it Hong Kong, is it wine, is it friendship? One night in Hong Kong (there may have been wine involved), our friendship grew into a business partnership. Coming from vastly different career backgrounds – Jo from fashion retail, and Sharyn from public service – we are that typical “creative versus rational” partnership. We are both involved in every aspect of the business, from design to the “back end”, and there is a definite synergy that comes from our differences. Without our friendship, there would be no business, and we are definitely bigger than the sum of our parts. So, the biggest influence on Willow & Zac? Friendship.

What is your favourite fashion ‘must-have’?

Is that a trick question? A fabulous statement handbag should be every woman’s must-have!

Whether it’s in a floor-length gown, or a ’70s-inspired suit, velvet is one of the hottest trends coming off the A/W17 runways.

The material of the year has been seen across Paris, New York and London fashion weeks, with the soft-to-touch fabric exuding luxury in any form. Not only does velvet throw off a slight shimmer as you move, it also creates an elegant barrier between yourself and those cold winter elements.

The House of Dior has heavily incorporated velvet into its latest collection, focusing on a simple black colour palette, with one crimson red dress as an exception, although its main feature would be a black velvet version of the infamous Dior Bar Jacket.

kept it chic and simple, yet still impeccably stylish.

In a completely new and inventive use of vinyl, Raf Simons’ first collection for Calvin Klein saw the use of clear vinyl over other fabrics, creating a whole new trend for the upcoming months. The collection saw trench coats in bold prints and colours, and long skirts with details of feathers covered in clear vinyl. Raf also opted to include the traditional black vinyl with a full-length jumpsuit.

BALLY

BURBERRY

CALVIN KLEIN

by DYLAN GREIG

TREND REPORT When you think of tartan and high fashion, most would almost immediately think of Alexander McQueen due to the fact it has been one of his signatures, however, this season tartan has been prominent in the collections of Burberry, Bally, Calvin Klein and Hermes, just to name a few, in new, exciting ways.

Breaking from traditional tartan, designers have created jackets, pants, dresses and more in a wide variety of tartans, utilising different colours and checks in order to reinvent the classic trend. Whether you decide to

keep it classic or step outside the box, there is certainly enough new variations to give anyone some Scottish flair.

Becoming a ma jor hit from the 16/17 shows last year, tartan has held its own amongst the latest trends for 17/18. Bally brought us a variety of tartan across its collection, while Mela Purdie and Trelise Cooper have gone bold and bright. If you want to keep things classic, you can’t go past an iconic Burberry scarf as a staple piece in your autumn/ winter wardrobe.
