COVER STORY

KEEPING UP WITH KENDALL

8 LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2015

Kendall Jenner’s extraordinary journey from reality sidekick to seriously successful supermodel

I

t’s not an overstatement to say that Kendall Jenner’s name precedes her: the 19-year-old who is fashion’s latest It Girl has practically grown up in the spotlight.

But the past year has seen the tall, lithe brunette carve out her own path as one of the most in-demand models of the moment.

“This is a career that I’ve always wanted,” she told GQ Magazine. “And I mean, what else would I be doing? I probably would have gone to school to get the degree to go to work, when work was already there.”

From her runway debut on Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2014 runway, to walking the Chanel couture show this summer at the special request of designer Karl Lagerfeld, Kendall’s casting in a dozen key fashion shows, multiple magazine covers and editorials, and one very coveted Givenchy ad campaign are proof positive that her star is rising.

Her 30 million-and-counting Instagram, Twitter and Facebook followers only serve to hammer that point home.

The gorgeous young brunette has also recently been signed by the Estée Lauder brand and will appear in digital, TV and print advertising campaigns and play an active role in creating social media content that will live on Estée Lauder’s channels as well as her own.

Says Kendall, who admits to being a “huge fan” of their concealer, although you can’t imagine what she would need it for: “I’ve grown up with Estée; that was all my mom would use. I remember the old lipstick cases that were gold and mirrored. It’s such a family brand for me because it’s been there my whole life so it is crazy to actually be doing this today.”

Of course the “mom” she is talking about is Kris Jenner, matriarch of reality TV’s juggernaut family the Kardashians. Dad is Bruce Jenner, now Caitlyn Jenner, possibly the most famous transgender female in recent history.

“That’s not about me, so we can move on,” she says when asked about Jenner. She doesn’t allow paparazzi or media into every area of her life. Much of it, it has to be admitted, just not all.

Since the Kardashians arrival on E! in 2007, the family has defied the laws of 15-minute reality TV fame while building a wildly profitable empire.

COVER STORY

Kendall Jenner and Ciara.

Credit: image net.

There’s a book, Kardashian Konfidential; a fragrance, Unbreakable by Khloe and Lamar; skin care and clothing lines, sneakers, swimwear, liquor and lipstick; and even Kardashian Khaos, the first “celebrity destination” store at the Mirage in Las Vegas.

Kendall herself has two nail lacquers from the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolors nail polish, All Kendall-ed up and Kendall on the Katwalk, earning $100,000 for her OPI endorsements.

She didn’t choose this, but it’s all she knows.

Even before the Kardashian reality show, she says her family were always going to premieres and walking down the red carpet.

“I mean my dad was who he is. He’s an Olympic athlete,” she said in the GQ interview.

She also visited the Neverland Ranch.

“I remember going, actually, and as I was leaving, Michael Jackson was coming in. And I was like, ’Oh, my God! That was Michael Jackson!’”

And she remembers videos of herself when she was three or four years old, her mother filming her as she walked out with a handbag saying “I just did my makeup!”

These days that little style princess has her face professionally made up, already appearing in a 13-page fashion feature in the December issue of American Vogue shot by Patrick Demarchelier – a lifetime dream for other models or celebrities.

She’s also strutted the catwalk for uber designer Marc Jacobs’s fall/ winter 2014 show – another bucket list wish.

Surprisingly, given her massive exposure to riches and privileges that few experience, she’s cute about it in a way that shows an innocent charm, not a calculated celebrity.

“I had done Marc Jacobs before and I wasn’t really nervous for that; I was more excited,” she says. “But I was nervous when I got to Paris because I did my first show in heels, and I had a long dress on that I was afraid I would trip over.”

After the Jacobs show, Kendall’s haute couture debut at Chanel quickly followed, as did her first high-profile advertising campaign for Givenchy fall/ winter 2014.

She has since walked for leading designers such as Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana and Fendi, and graced the red carpets of the world’s most fashionable events including the Met Gala, Cannes Film Festival and MTV Video Music Awards.

Born in Los Angeles, California Kendall was raised in a blended family with one younger sister, Kylie Jenner, and eight half-siblings including Kourtney, Kim and Khloe.

She began modeling at age 14 when she was signed by Wilhelmina Models, has appeared in an episode of Hawaii Five-0 and dated One Direction singer/songwriter Harry Styles.

Refreshingly, while her life may be anything but average, she is a typical teenager when it comes to things like crushes or makeup tips.

LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2015

She thinks Angelina Jolie is “ridiculously beautiful” and loves Rihanna. “I feel like she kills it all the time (as a beauty icon),” she says.

Mascara is her favourite beauty product and she always carrying lip balm and moisturiser because she flies all the time and her favourite nail polishes are royal blue and red.

Statuesque, Kendall favours flats not heels, likes skinny jeans not boyfriend jeans and would love to be able to sing like Beyonce.

She even has a “happy place”: “Santorini, where I am surrounded by my family.” Or maybe the $1.4 million two-bedroom, 2.5-bath condominium in Los Angeles she bought last year with her own money.

“I’m super OCD, so everything is clean,” she says.

Catwalks, weekend visits to Kim and Kanye, first class trips between Paris, New York and Los Angeles, hordes of paparazzi and adoring teen fans – Kendall admits her life is “really weird”.

“I understand that it’s not normal,” she says.

But it is normal – for her.

She’s a new breed of celebrity, says Jane Hertzmark Hudis, Global Brand President of Estée Lauder “a modern beauty who represents a whole new generation of women who live, breathe and share beauty, fashion and life 24/7, on their own terms, in a visually compelling way”.

And we can’t take her eyes off her, waiting for the next episode of her unreal life to unfold.

MY STYLE

Simone Bennett-Smith has spent half her life in front of the camera, so it is no surprise that she knows a thing or two about what works in her wardrobe. Sophisticated, sexy with just a twist of quirky, Simone brings her unique sense of eclectic style and creative flair to everything she wears. Multi-talented Simone is also a fashion and interiors stylist, and together with business partner Elke Bell, runs the innovative marketing company Our Empire. Simone says when it comes to fashion, she likes to combines vintage with designer to create looks that are fashion forward yet infinitely wearable.

Diana Freis Sequin Bolero Vintage is the only way to ensure that you will never walk in to a room and find someone else wearing the same outfit! I love this classic Diana Fries bolero for its history, uniqueness and intricate beadwork. Plus it looks amazing with distressed jeans, t-shirt and killer heels. I have so many fashion treasures from my time overseas and regularly charity shop for pieces that still hold their own in this ever changing world of fashion.

See by Chloe Cross Body Bag I literally spend the day running around at work, so instead of lugging my big tote I decant the basic necessities that I’ll need on the go such as lipstick, business cards, phones, and pens into this sweet little bag. I’ve got several colours in this cross body style but my See by Chloe is particularly special as my close girlfriends gave it to me for my 40th birthday.

Patrizia Pepe Necklace I am partial to prints, patterns and a hero accessory! I take exactly the same approach when styling a client’s wardrobe as I do when interior styling a client’s home: get the basic foundation pieces correct and your accessories become the soft furnishings i.e. items and embellishments that embrace current trends yet can be updated seasonally at very little expense.

Lanvin Cap Toe Pumps A demure midi-heel means these Lanvin beauties are not only obscenely comfortable but a timeless classic with their black cap toe and neutral body.

Spring/Summer at David Jones is all about fashion and creativity, inhaling all the exhilarating fumes to come off the powerful compound. The set up held On Seven at David Jones reflected the vibe of Daniel Johns’ recently launched campaign for Shot By Sound. Industrial rigging and LED lights adorned the runway to be graced by ambassadors Jessica Gomes, Montana Cox and Jason Dundas, with supermodel Gigi Hadid perched prettily in the front row. The parade featured 35 new collections and 220 looks, finished with makeup by Shu Uemura, and was closed by JETS showcasing their James Bond-themed swim looks.

This season, we can expect to dazzle in high-sheen textiles as Rachel Gilbert paraded pastel pinks and Bianca Spender opted for baby blue suiting with a plunging neckline, also favoured

by Ginger & Smart. Christopher Esber’s model strutted in a stripe-hot scarf dress, echoed in monochrome at Sabatini. Akira and Easton Pearson flaunted florals, while it was all about love for Romance Was Born. Willow and Zimmerman brought us bloody hues for after five, while Carla Zampatti delivered a shot of electric pink. Scanlan Theodore reiterated their sleek aesthetic, also shown by Manning Cartell in aqua. Label loves the silken printed fabrics used by Josh Goot and Camilla for effortless springtime flair.

BEHIND the BRAND

In under a decade, designer Paul Vasileff has established his label Paolo Sebastian as one of Australia’s leading couturiers. The 25-yearold’s gowns can be found from Kuwait to New York, bestowing exquisite beading, lace and luxury on Giuliana Rancic, Sonia Kruger, Carrie Bickmore and fabulous women alike. Paul gives Label a look into the making of his latest collection, The Nightingale.

Your 2015-16 SS Couture Collection is exquisite to say the least.

What featured on your mood board as you were dreaming up The Nightingale? Thank you so much. The mood board contained a lot of 1920s imagery, and I had a sample of ombré silk fringing. I hand sketched bird motifs, and there was a lot of intricate floral and feather details.

What is the folktale behind the nightingale? There are a few different places that I took inspiration from, in terms of story. In Cinderella she sings ‘Sing, Sweet Nightingale’, and Oscar Wilde and Hans Christian Anderson both wrote stories about nightingales. It was a combination of a few ideas about a beautiful creature singing soulfully in the moonlight.

How did you translate the emotions derived from the folktale into your designs? The folktales all describe a delicate, beautiful figure, and of course, there is often a lot of bird imagery. The feather details and bird embroidery are direct reflections of the symbol of the nightingale. The delicate tulle and sheer fabrics work to create that sense of fragility.

The Nightingale Collection is extremely ornate. Tell us about the craftsmanship and colour-matching involved? In terms of the colour palette, everything needs to work together to complement a distinct mood. With this collection I wanted to show the world what the label is capable of. I sketched all of the nightingale embroideries myself and really focused on pushing our craftsmanship to the next level with silk and beaded fringing, a lace cape and romantic sleeves. To me, that focus on craftsmanship is what couture is all about.

What is your most beloved gown of the collection? My favourite is the first gown, the sheer tulle column gown with nightingale 28 LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2015

embroidery and lilac ombré silk fringe. I really loved designing the intricate embroidery and the fringe detail; it was something really different for me.

Tell us about your label’s relationship with lace designers Sophie Hallette this season? Sophie Hallette regularly make a point of sponsoring and supporting young designers, and we were honoured when a representative of theirs approached us. We were very excited, given that they provide lace for some of the biggest houses in the world. The cape that we created from the beaded lace has received a lot of attention, and we are really proud of it.

Every one of your collections has a detailed back-story. Where do you go for inspiration when a new collection is on the horizon? It really depends on the story, and where the initial spark of inspiration came from. Each collection is different. I tend to look at storybooks, watch old films and sketch my ideas as they come. I will then often look at fabrics and colours and a few pieces will just start to come organically from that. For some of the collections I will also often research historical events or periods of time, as I’m inspired by a particular mood.

Who would you love to see wearing a gown from The Nightingale?

Elle Fanning.

SERUM STOP Serums. Every skincare brand has one, and not many of us know how to use them. With a tiny bottle of powerful potion dedicated to every part of our body, Label sums up the nine serums you need to mend your woes, from face to follicle.

FOR LUSCIOUS LASHES

Shiseido Full Lash Serum produces the best results based on its brush.

The Flocky Tip, much like a lip gloss tip, allows you to target your lash line and deliver the exact amount of serum required for effective lash growth. After skin care in the mornings and evenings, sweep Full Lash Serum over your lash line and brow roots. The active ingredient here is Zizyphus Jujuba Fruit Extract to support your lashes and amino acid Arginine to protect them from damage by hydrating and restoring the cuticle. $50, www.shiseido.com

FOR FRESH EYES

Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Eye Concentrate aims to better your eye’s specific immune system, as the delicate skin is one third of the thickness of other facial areas and will succumb to damage faster. Dryness is a common cause of eye aging due to the lack of sebum and sweat glands in the area, and of course blinking 20,000 times a day will take its toll. Ultimune’s active ingredients smooth the area by restoring the skin, using ImuMoisture ExtractTM, Ultimune ComplexTM, ImuCalm CompundTM and a cotanical compound of Gingko, Perilla and Thyme. $90, www.shiseido.com

FOR PLUMP PERFECTION

Estée Lauder New Dimension Shape + Fill Expert Serum is your new best friend after a long haul flight or naughty late night. Your volume and structure is restored by plumping and smoothing the skin using shaping technology to support your collagen stocks. Hyaluronic acid, filaggrin and lipids provide fullness, while your natural cell turnover is hastened by skin smoothers. Your newly firm skin is a result of a pro-collagen complex for all natural contouring, and your elasticity is boosted by fibronectin proteins. To top it off, this precious bottle is fragranced with cucumber, rose, jasmine, melon and mandarin.

Heaven! $195, www.esteelauder.com.au

FOR SPOT SOLUTIONS

Giorgio Armani Luminessence Dark Spot Corrector Serum has proven results in spot reduction, with 85 per cent of those surveyed recognising pigmentation, wrinkles and pores decreased. Bright Regen technology illuminates the skin after the silken serum penetrates pores for instant softness. Apply morning and night after cleansing and before moisturisation. $180, www.davidjones.com.au

LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2015

FOR EXFOLIATION Clinique Turnaround Revitalizing Serum will kick start your cell turnover to up your exfoliation. Your skin is energised as the serum enhances cell division, maturation and desquamation. In just four weeks, your complexion will appear to be more radiant than ever. $62, www.clinique.com.au

FOR FAST ACTING WRINKLE REPAIR

La Prairie Anti-Aging Rapid Response Booster’s advance anti-wrinkle technology means the depth and length of your wrinkles will diminish in two weeks. By delivering peptides to the cells that are producing collagen and elastin, your complexion will feel like its had a dose of facial fillers. For brighter, smoother skin, apply one to two drops over the face and neck after cleansing and toning, avoiding the eye area. $335, www.laprairie.com.au

FOR TIGHTER PORES

Clarins Pore Minimizing Serum is super lightweight, containing alpine willow herb to unclog pores and purify the skin. Your shine will decrease and you will notice a blur cream effect, with matte skin making an ideal foundation canvas. Your pores will instantly cinch up for a smoother complexion. $48, www.davidjones.com.au

FOR CAPILLARIES

Gernétic Veinulo Special Plus Capillary Concentrate targets capillaries by working to repair and improve their appearance. Vitamin PP and B3 boost your cellular respiration and oxygenation, while vitamin E gives your capillary structure added solidarity. Your antioxidant dose comes from lactobacillus casei, with added hydration properties from amino acids, reinforcing the skin barrier. $129, www.gernetic.com.au

FOR TIRED HAIR

Fuente Anti Aging Wellness Oil promotes voluminous roots and elasticity of the hair shaft. Apply to dry or wet hair and feel the magnetic fields and crystals penetrate the hair with ease. Vitamin C and E hydrate the hair, while antioxidants prevent cell aging. See the hair gloss restored as though you never used a heat styling tool before. $49.95, www.fuente-australia.com

FRAGRANCE

JIMMY CHOO ILLICIT Jimmy Choo have done it again with their brand new fragrance Illicit.

Punchy and provocative but with an underlying sweetness, Illicit is innately feminine. Comforting ginger combines with with feminine rose and sophisticated jasmine then revealing the perfume’s pièce de résistance – a gourmand honey-amber accord, intertwined with a thread of sandalwood to mellow and smooth the sweetness.

SPRING FRAGRANCES

LADY EMBLEM BY MONTBLANC Montblanc’s new delicately feminine and modern fragrance for women is Lady Emblem.

The sake note, which was invented by two perfumers, has the fresh, crystalline zing of the finest rice spirit. There is a slightly metallic hint of litchi and cut grass. The Japanese call this “Nihonshu”. Pink peppercorn is a spicy head note, complementary to pink grapefruit.

To bring out the rose, jasminum sambac from China provides the feeling of real petals and exquisite pomegranate. Velvety sandalwood provides amber tones from the bottom to the top, and crystals of musk gently emerge.

This creates a delicately sensuous base for an exquisite and extraordinary feminine elixir.

LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2015

NARCISO RODRIGUEZ’S FOR HER L’ABSOLU Rich and intense, Narciso Rodriguez’s for her l’absolu is simultaneously raw yet refined and flawlessly feminine.

Absolute of jasmin, a voluptuous floral, transforms the signature heart of musc in an intoxicating composition. Soft amber notes and smooth woody notes of sandalwood and patchouli add a rich depth.

SHALIMAR COLOGNE EAU DE TOILETTE BY GUERLAIN Four centuries ago, in India, Emperor Shah Jahan had the enchanting Gardens of Shalimar built for Princess Mumtaz Mahal and dedicated the Taj Mahal to her as well. This tale sparked the imagination of Jacques Guerlain, who created Shalimar, the first oriental fragrance in history, in 1925. Guerlain Perfumer Thierry Wasser has created a new interpretation of this legendary scent. Citrus notes, fresh flowers and vanilla give this fresh and luminous Cologne a resolutely modern signature.

GIVENCHY’S DAHLIA DIVIN With Alicia Keys as the face of the fragrance, Givenchy’s Dahlia Divin follows the theme and the fantasy of the Dahlia Noir line that was started in 2011. Dahlia Divin’s composition is centered around a Sambac jasmine note on a woody-chypre base. Created by perfumer Francois Demachy, Dahlia Divin opens with scents of Mirabelle plum, leading way to the heart of jasmine and white flowers. The base is woody, made of sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli. Like a Haute Couture gown, this golden fragrance enrobes you in a warm, radiant sensuality.

Falafel for Breakfast Q&A WITH MICHAEL RANTISSI

A new book from Israeli-born chef Michael Rantissi and his partner and ‘balaboosta’ Aussie girl Kristy Frawley opens up a world of Middle Eastern flavours and ingredients for the contemporary home cook.

Grains and greens, generosity, pungency, sweetness, sharing… the unmistakable ingredients, flavours and philosophies of the Middle East. This is food that brings everyone to the table, and won’t let them leave.

Michael Rantissi, chef and owner of Sydney’s uber-cool Kepos Street Kitchen, celebrates Middle Eastern food in his latest offering, Falafel for Breakfast, a collaboration with his partner Kristy Frawley.

Michael grew up in Tel Aviv, watching his mum cook and feasting on the multi-cultural offerings of his neighbourhood. From relatively humble beginnings, he went on to train in Israel, Paris, and New York before arriving in Australia in 2005, landing a position in the fine dining restaurant kitchen at one of the country’s most celebrated restaurants - The Bathers’ Pavilion. From there, Michael continued to climb the culinary ladder with positions at Pink Salt, The 100 Group, and of course, Kepos Street Kitchen.

Kristy’s culinary credentials are also impressive. Her passion for food ignited in her family kitchen and dining in the restaurants of Sydney, honing her hospitality skills in London and Sydney. No slouch behind the stove, Kristy is known as a talented home cook and for the past 16 years she has been the office manager at the iconic Bathers’ Pavilion.

Together they have created an inspiring collection of recipes, opening the door to a greater understanding and appreciation of the Middle East’s hidden treasures --- tahini, baharat, halva, chickpeas, labneh, eggplant, honey, pomegranate, amba, dates, broad beans, pistachios, wild greens, ancient grains.

The recipes go from basics like hummus, aioli and falafel, to Persian eggplant risotto, Cauliflower, cranberry and pearl barley salad; and Harissa-braised lamb with okra. To finish are the pastries, breads and syrup-laden cakes that turn a meal into a feast - Chocolate and pistachio baklava, Date and dukkah brownies, Persian pavlova.

Recipes and images from Falafel for Breakfast, AUD $49.99, by Michael Rantissy and Kristy Frawley, published by Murdoch Books.

LABEL: Share with us your early memories of food growing up in Tel Aviv.

MR: My strongest memory is of street food when I was growing up in Tel Aviv. There are shops there that only sell one item only hummus, or falafel or just chicken kebabs. Mum would send my brothers and me to the baker to buy fresh pita bread or za’atar bread and we would always eat some of the bread on our way home because it was too hard to resist hot, delicious bread straight from the wood fired oven.

LABEL: What are some of the food philosophies and lessons you have learned from watching your mother cooking?

MR: Don’t leave the sink dirty! Use the best quality produce available to you. Make food the centre of your life. Feast everyday as it is your last day. Use a combination of flavours to enhance the meal.

LABEL: What are some of the spices and cooking methods that represent a Middle Eastern dish?

MR: My top three essential elements in Middle Eastern cooking would be olive oil, lemon juice and plenty of fresh herbs. The main spices used in Middle Eastern cooking would be cumin, coriander and saffron; and the main cooking methods would be cooking on charcoal so on a barbeque, wood fire oven roasting and also raw cooking due to the amount of salads and dips that are served.

LABEL: What are your favourite recipes from the book; and why are they special to you?

MR: Falafel – as it is the centre of street food in Tel Aviv and identifying symbol for Kepos Street Kitchen and the name of the book. Cauliflower salad – this dish is one of the most popular dishes at Kepos Street Kitchen so it was a given we would include it in the cookbook. It is very easy to make, delicious and healthy. Persian Pavlova – this cake has all the ingredients that I love – halva, nuts and chocolate. This recipe came about while we were experimenting with gluten free cakes at Kepos Street Kitchen.

LABEL: Name your top three dishes –that you love to cook or eat yourself – from any culture?

MR: I love Thai food – I never attempt to cook it at home so it is my go to take away. I also love a good pizza from a wood fired oven.

And anything that Kristy cooks for me on a Sunday night because I don’t have to cook, specially her roast potatoes.

Thanks to our friends at Murdoch Books, Label Magazine has five copies of Falafel for Breakfast to giveaway.

SERVES 4 750 g (1 lb 10 oz) good-quality coarse minced (ground) lamb 2 teaspoons coriander seeds, toasted and crushed 1 handful coriander (cilantro), leaves finely chopped 3 tablespoons olive oil 5 tablespoons red harissa 1 teaspoon chilli flakes 4 tablespoons aïoli, to serve 4 brioche burger buns, toasted Middle Eastern coleslaw , to serve Put the minced lamb, coriander seeds, chopped coriander, olive oil, 4 tablespoons of the harissa and the chilli flakes in a large bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix to combine.

Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and gently shape into burger patties with your hands. (Don’t overwork the patties as the meat will become tough.) Cook the burgers in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes each side (for medium–rare), or to your taste. You can also cook them using the grill (broiler) or barbecue heated to medium. Combine the aïoli and remaining harissa in a small bowl. To assemble the burgers, toast the cut side of the buns. Place the bun bottoms on plates and add a dollop of the harissa aïoli, a handful of coleslaw and a pattie. Add another handful of coleslaw, another dollop of aïoli and top with the bun lid.

RED HARISSA MAKES ABOUT 1 KG (2 LB 4 OZ) 700 g (1 lb 9 oz) capsicums, roasted, peeled and seeded 6 garlic cloves, peeled 2 large green chillies 2 handfuls coriander (cilantro), leaves and stems washed and coarsely chopped 3 teaspoons mild paprika 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 teaspoons ground coriander 2 teaspoons caster (superfine) sugar 2½ tablespoons red wine vinegar 200 ml (7 fl oz) extra virgin olive oil 46

LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2015

Put the roasted capsicums, garlic, chillies and chopped coriander in a food processor and blend to a paste. Add the paprika, cumin, ground coriander and sugar and blend for a further minute.

AÏOLI MAKES 750 G (1 LB 10 OZ) 5 garlic cloves, peeled 5 egg yolks 1 teaspoon dijon mustard ½ teaspoon sea salt flakes 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar 500 ml (17 fl oz/2 cups) light olive oil Preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F). Put the garlic on a baking tray and cook until lightly golden, about 7–8 minutes (if overcooked it will have a bitter taste). Cool the garlic to room temperature. Mash with a fork. Blend the egg yolks, mustard, salt, vinegar and garlic in a blender or food processor until well combined and smooth, scraping down the side of the bowl. Very slowly, drizzle in the olive oil while the motor is running, until the aïoli is well emulsified and thick.

Sweet, Sweet SPRING T

he delights you will find in the fruit shop this season are not your typical sweet sensations, which makes them all the more interesting to experiment with. Grapefruit, lemon, oranges, artichokes, asparagus, brussel sprouts, fennel, leek, peas, silverbeet, spinach and beetroot are at their peak in nutrition and flavour, but our dessert dynamo is rhubarb. My Rhubarb and Semolina Custard Tart is balanced between the sour rootling and the sweet, smooth custard, with a nice crunch from the shortcrust. Serve at room temperature to 10 greedy guests.

RHUBARB AND SEMOLINA CUSTARD TART • 1 x 435g pack of Carême Vanilla Bean Sweet Shortcrust Pastry • 8 stalks of rhubarb (dry ends removed) • 1 tbsp caster sugar • 2 tbsp raspberry jam Preheat your oven to 180C. Trace the outline of a 28cm tart tin onto baking paper and place on a baking tray. Cut your rhubarb to make an arrangement on the parchment that will eventually go on top of your custard tart. Top with sugar and bake for half an hour, until tender.

Heat jam in a saucepan with a dash of water until it has a syrup consistency, then drizzle over the rhubarb and set aside.

Cut a circle of baking paper large enough to fit the bottom of a 28cm tart tin, place it inside, then line with the pastry sheet, covering the bottom and sides evenly. Refrigerate for an hour, remove from fridge and line the raw pastry with baking paper, proceeding to fill the pastry shell with pie weights.

Blind bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven at 180C, remove weights and bake for a further 10 minutes until golden.

LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2015

SEMOLINA CUSTARD • 180g caster sugar • 690ml milk • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste • 360ml cream • 120g semolina • 190g butter • 2 eggs Combine sugar, milk, cream and butter in a saucepan on medium heat, stirring continuously. Once butter has melted, add the vanilla bean paste and bring to a simmer.

Pour in semolina in a slow stream, whisking continuously until the mixture forms a porridge consistency. Remove from heat for 15 minutes and whisk in the eggs, one at a time.

Pour the custard into the tart shell and bake for 20 minutes on 180C until golden.

Cool to room temperature, then transfer your rhubarb art work on top of your golden custard.

ITALIAN MERINGUE • 2 egg whites • 100g caster sugar • 1 pinch cream of tartar Combine the sugar with a dash of water in a saucepan on high heat, using a sugar thermometer to track the temperature to 115C. Whisk the egg whites and cream of tartar in a stand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, slowly adding the sugar syrup once it reaches 125C. Continue mixing on medium speed for 10 minutes, slowing the mixer to low speed until you are ready to pipe the meringue onto your creation.

Fill a large disposable piping bag with the meringue mixture and squeeze to create a meringue mountain in the centre of your tart. Use a blow torch to brown the exterior of your meringue and serve.

The supermodel and business woman has now joined the likes of Dannii Minogue, Zac Posen and Collette Dinnigan as one of the ‘Designers for Target’, launching an exclusive range of homewares, available in select stores across Australia.

Designing homewares is something Megan says she has wanted to explore for many years. With designs inspired by some of the world’s most stunning cities, the collection combines sophisticated and luxurious styling with exceptional quality and attention to detail.

“I have always seen home interiors as an extension of personal style – and creating my own homewares range has been something I have wanted to explore for some time,” Megan says.

“I have taken inspiration from my travels to beautiful destinations such as Santorini, Paris, London and New York. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to experience these cities with my work. I have always loved decor and the designs of various hotels that I have stayed in – they are places that I have grown to love.”

With pieces priced from just $35 the collection includes luxurious 100% cotton quilt cover sets, detailed sheets and a selection of beautiful accent pieces including intricately detailed cushions, plush throws and towels.

“Comfortable, quality fabrications and attention to detail are all key signatures of my collection. It’s essential for me that my range is accessible for everyone whilst offering something special, in both quality and design,” Megan said.

“Our homes are our sanctuaries, they are where we can unwind and be ourselves. It’s important for me to take the time, effort and energy to create a beautiful atmosphere and I want this col-lection to allow people to do that for themselves.”

Magic in the Maldives Earlier this year Club Med launched its brand new Finolhu Villas; a stunning and exclusive eco-chic paradise in the Maldives.

62

LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2015

TRAVEL The new Finolhu Villas Resort, which opened in February, is a collection of 52 exquisitely designed waterfront Villas set in paradise and serves as testament to Club Meds’ commitment to offering travellers more upscale, all-inclusive holiday experiences.

With beautifully spacious and private villas surrounded by incomparable natural beauty, Club Med has set a new benchmark for top-end accommodation in the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean.

The new Finolhu Villas Resort is situated on its own Island in close proximity to the adjacent Club Med Kani Premium Resort. The stand-alone Resort offers guests the most refined, luxury facilities and services available, as well as access to the Kani Premium Resort.

Club Med Finolhu Villas perch on stilts above the crystal-clear turquoise water or sit beachside by the powdery white sand that makes the Maldives one of the most recognisable and desirable holiday destinations in the world.

They have been conceived to be the last word in luxury, while retaining an intimate, subtle and comfortable ambience.

Ecologically sensitive, the Villas are fully fitted with solar panels and provide guests the opportunity for supreme relaxation at the organic spa. Located just 40-minute speedboat ride from the Maldives international airport and just five minutes from Club Med Kani Premium Resort, Finolhu Villas is secluded yet still easily accessible.

Madeleine Clow, Club Med Australia and New Zealand General Manager said that for Australian honeymooners seeking the trip of a lifetime, or anyone else planning a romantic getaway, Finolhu Villas offers one of the most exclusive and idyllic settings in the world.

“We understand that for many of our guests, the time they spend at Finolhu Villas will be one of the most precious moments of their life and we’re determined to make sure their memories are ones they will treasure forever,” Ms Clow said. “We can guarantee that guests will have a truly unforgettable all-inclusive experience in paradise.”

No effort has been spared in making sure the Villas represent the ultimate destination in the Maldives through a unique blend of refinement, exclusivity and eco-friendly design. Modern, chic and in sync with their surroundings, the Villas are set in one of the most pristine natural islands in the Maldives, and draw on a palette of colours including ocean blue, green, and orange that celebrate the

surroundings. The 22 Beach Villas and 30 Lagoon Villas boast their own private pools and terraces, with the Lagoon Villas featuring direct sea access.

Guests will find services tailored to their preferences, with a personal Villa butler on-hand to indulge their every whim. Among other delights, they will enjoy breakfast and afternoon tea served in the privacy of their Villa, exclusive concierge facilities with top-ofthe-range service and options such as a private dinner or luxury spa treatments.

In the fine dining restaurant, Club Med’s dedicated chefs enjoy a well-deserved reputation for curating recipes from around the world and guests can enjoy their culinary creations in a truly romantic setting. Set over water, guests of the restaurant will enjoy the gourmet fare with spectacular water views. Additional Finolhu Villa amenities include a main bar with all-inclusive, unlimited bar and snacking, direct pool access and a beautifully designed reception and lounge.

As part of the tailored experience, Finolhu Villas guests can choose a different ambiance every day - either casual relaxation at Club Med’s nearby Kani Resort or a bespoke and more intimate experience at Finolhu Villas exclusive spaces. At the Kani Premium Resort, guests can enjoy shows and parties with a different theme each night, while at The Finolhu Villas they can take in the romance of cinema under the stars, refined beach events, and live music. There is also the stunning and unique bar with a transparent floor offering spectacular views to the water below. The array of choices on offer provides guests the chance to enjoy a different paradise every day with the same warm and friendly spirit for which Club Med is so well known.

The unveiling of Finolhu Villas coincides with the completion of renovations of the Kani Resort, which now offers an upgraded restaurant, boutique beach bar and reception area, in addition to improvements made to the 5 Trident luxury space in 2013. Seven night all-inclusive packages at Club Med Finolhu Villas start from $5,625pp in a beach sunrise villa, based on Sun Early Booking Bonus for departures May-Oct 2016 (with full terms and conditions at www. clubmed.com.au) For bookings and enquiries, call Club Med on 1800 258 263 or visit www.clubmed.com.au.

SURF’S UP AT CLUB MED Set in the middle of crystal clear waters that produce consistent wave patterns amongst idyllic surrounds, the Maldives have long been renowned as a stellar location for surfing getaways. With the launch of the new surfing excursion at Club Med Kani, guests at this luxury Resort in the Maldives can now ride the famous breaks while enjoying their allinclusive Club Med holiday.

Club Med Kani’s location just minutes away from one of the best surf spots in the world. Known for its slow and straight waves suitable for professionals and novices alike, the famous ‘Ninja’ break is accessible from the Resort both by paddle and by foot, and faces one of the most picturesque beaches on the island.

KATE BENNETT DRIVING THE NEW MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS

BRUCE LYNTON MINI GARAGE INTRODUCES THE NEW MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS The new MINI John Cooper Works arrived at Bruce Lynton in July and has already received a huge response.

The halo model of the updated MINI range, this much-anticipated performance hatch features a substantial increase in specification over its predecessor, combining enhanced performance and fantastic value for money.

Starting from $47,400* with manual transmission, the model is equipped with 18-inch light alloy wheels, Dynamic Damper Control, John Cooper Works Sports Seats and Professional Navigation with 8.8-inch split screen colour monitor and touchpad as standard.

Another key feature is the inclusion of a sports brake system developed exclusively in collaboration with Brembo, the fixed calliper disc brakes guaranteeing consistently high deceleration performance.

LED headlights with LED daytime running lights, extended Bluetooth functionality with armrest and music streaming DAB+ digital radio, MINI Driving Modes, MINI Excitement Package and MINI Visual Boost are among the further standard equipment included.

The new MINI John Cooper Works also benefits from a bolstered list of driver assistance systems, heightening levels of comfort and safety through the inclusion of a reversing camera, Park Assist with front and rear Park Distance Control and Head-Up Display with model specific content.

The enhanced range of standard features highlights the maturity of the new MINI John Cooper Works.

“The new MINI John Cooper Works is an incredibly exciting addition to our range, and continues the renewal of our model portfolio, following the launch of the new 3-Door and 5-Door hatches last year,” said Beric Lynton, Dealer Principal of Bruce Lynton Automotive Group.

While the boost in performance and output alone is enough for the new John Cooper Works to stand alone from its peers, an increased list of standard specification will provide further value, and another reason to experience the extreme driving fun this car offers.

The new MINI John Cooper Works features the most powerful engine ever fitted to a MINI serial production model, with its 2.0 litre, four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo plant generating 170kW and 320Nm of torque, propelling the car from 0-100km/h in 6.3 seconds.

All current MINI vehicles have a service scheduling system called Condition Based Service (CBS) which identifies the condition of a vehicle based on actual use, realising the full potential of a vehicle and minimising costs.

Under the CBS system, sensors and advanced algorithms monitor

and calculate the conditions in which the vehicle is used including mileage, time elapsed since the last service, fuel consumption and how the vehicle is driven. The information captured is used to determine the vehicle’s maintenance requirements, identifying that either an annual vehicle inspection or an oil service is due.

In addition, MINI service and selected maintenance costs can now be covered by a single, one-off advance payment with MINI TLC. TLC offers two packages; MINI TLC Basic Service Inclusive Basic provides scheduled servicing cover, while MINI TLC Plus combines scheduled servicing and selected maintenance items.

For just $980, the MINI TLC Basic package takes care of scheduled servicing costs for five years or 70,000 kms, whichever comes first.

The MINI TLC plan provides a long-term solution enabling cover to be extended and transferred to future vehicles owners before expiry.

LEGAL

WHERE THERE’S A WILL, THERE’S A RELATIVE Richard Dawson looks at the increase in disputed wills, and suggests ways to reduce the inevitable emotional and financial cost of challenging an estate.

We all know money does strange things to people, but perhaps no more so than when a large estate is involved. Never before has society seen an increase in challenging estates like we have today.

With substantial rises in property prices, superannuation funds, life insurance policies and share portfolios, estate sizes have increased dramatically in the past 15-20 years – and along with it, challenges to wills and estates.

In the 80’s and 90’s, it was commonplace for a person to own their family home and have a small bank account making up their life savings. Large superannuation funds and share portfolios have also increased people’s net wealth. These days, prime properties values and large superannuation fund proceeds often put estates into the millions of dollars and to some this is worth fighting over.

Not only has there been a dramatic increase in estate sizes, we are also seeing an increase in the number of people eligible to contest an estate. Blended families are on the rise with almost one in two marriages ending in divorce. Step-parents and step-children make up a sizeable portion of contested estate litigants; so it follows that ‘Where there’s a Will – there’s a relative wanting to contest it’.

For some, large asset pools make challenging an estate very attractive.

In fact, it can often be commercially viable for disgruntled family members to do so. Some even feel it is their right to contest an estate if adequate provision has not left for them in the Will. What is more, generally the estate pays the legal expenses to settle the Will dispute unless exceptional circumstances exist. For a disappointed beneficiary it can seem like a win-win situation for them. If successful, not only do

74

LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2015

they receive more than they did under a Will but the estate pays for the experience. Unfortunately, it is usually the intended beneficiaries who ultimately pay.

Queensland law provides that where parties engage in disputed estate litigation, they must take part in mediation rather than having the dispute decided by a judge. Everyone knows disputed estate litigation can be very expensive and no-one wants to see the lawyers end up with all the estate. With this always in the back of their minds, parties will try to resolve the dispute with commercially sensible offers. Those offers decide who pays the legal costs. At the mediation stage, it is usually the estate that pays the costs. This means the intended beneficiaries come off second best because they have to, in effect, buy their way out of court proceedings and settle the dispute on commercial terms. While it may take some time to reach an amicable resolution, the emotional rollercoaster ride along the way often irreparably splits families apart.

Some family dynamics dictate that dispute estate proceedings are inevitable, but with the right advice and proper estate planning these disputes can be easily avoided.

Contact Richard Dawson, the managing partner of the estate’s team at OMB Solicitors for obligation-free advice whether you are an executor, a disappointed beneficiary or just wanting protect your estate through proper estate planning.

Macan - the new Porsche SUV superstar A Porsche through and through, the new Macan sportscar SUV is setting benchmarks in terms of driving dynamics and enjoyment – both on paved streets and off-road terrain.

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and one of the finest drive systems in the world – Porsche Traction Management (PTM) in conjunction with a sporty mix of tyres, fitted as standard. Furthermore, the new Porsche model line offers a choice of three sporty chassis versions, one of which features air suspension – an exclusive in the Macan’s segment.

The Macan is claiming the top spot in its segment from the very outset. The top model in the range, the Macan Turbo equipped with a 3.6-litre V6 biturbo engine and delivering an output of 400 hp (294 kW), as well as the Macan S equipped with a 3-litre V6 biturbo engine and delivering an output of 340 hp (250 kW), are defining a new performance class that competitor vehicles are yet to reach. The role of the high-torque powerhouse of the SUV trio has been assumed by the Macan S Diesel thanks to its 258-hp (190-kW) turbo diesel engine, which provides a torque of 580 Nm across a broad engine speed range. However, the Macan is not just setting the benchmark for driving dynamics – the vehicle also delivers the combination of efficiency, comfort and everyday suitability that has become a defining feature of the Porsche brand.

The sporty DNA of the Macan, as with all Porsche vehicles, is immediately recognisable in the design. Many details are reminiscent of the iconic 911 sportscar and the technological benchmark 918 model, and the Sports Utility Vehicle is unrivalled in its flat and broad profile on the road. The wraparound bonnet and gently sloping roof line accentuate the overall impression of sporty elegance and powerful dynamics. Many of the design elements have been taken from Porsche sportscars and enhanced for the Macan, making it clear to see from the very first glance that the Porsche Macan heralds the first sportscar in the compact SUV segment.

For more information call in and meet Damien Holley, dealer principal of Porsche Centre Gold Coast or go to: www.porschegoldcoast.com.au

LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2015

Porsche drivers do not buy run-ofthe-mill products, and the Macan is far from ordinary.

STANDARDS AND EXTRAS The range of equipment fitted on the Macan as standard is extensive, and includes the all-wheel drive, PDK, multi-function sport steering wheel with shift paddles, large wheels, high-performance audio system and an electrically operated tailgate.

The list of optional special equipment offers further exclusive highlights, such as the air suspension system: The Macan is the only vehicle in its segment to feature such a system. There is also the Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) system, which has been specially tailored to the Macan. This system distributes varying levels of drive torque to the rear wheels and works in conjunction with an electronically controlled rear-axle differential lock.

The list of Porsche options includes the much soughtafter dynamic high beam forming part of the Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus), which continuously adjusts the headlight level in keeping with the traffic ahead and any oncoming traffic.

A choice of premium-quality audio equipment is available in the form of the optional sound systems from Burmester® and Bose.

For Libra, it’s all about finding that balance between you and the rest of the world. Now is the time to set aside all those ‘shoulds’ and start focusing on what’s best for you. Your kind and generous Libra heart will always make time for other people, you just need to make time for yourself. There is no time like the present for Scorpios.

Stars: Dakota Fanning, Justin Bieber, Eva Mendes.

CANCER June 21-July 22 You are pretty much always in charge, and go to great lengths to manage every little detail.
