THE SUMMER ISSUE
THE SUMMER ISSUE Welcome to Talulah’s f irst e-zine! In this issue we are journeying to far off places. We explore the notion of escapism and what it means to be refreshed. Be it a refresh on a luxury vacation to that place you’ve always dreamed of, but have never quite gotten around to actually visiting; or perhaps it’s just a quick wardrobe refresher before a weekend BBQ with old friends. In this issue of TALULAH, we speak to Tenielle Ferguson, head of womenswear buying at Myer. She tells us what she does to escape from everyday life, and where her secret place is for alone time, and of course which TALULAH pieces she’s pining over for the new season in Myer! We take a look at the new TALULAH Homewares range, with pieces like the Capri large serving platter, perfect for long summer lunches with family and friends that go on until after dusk. Sit down and relax, escape from it all, with TALULAH.

What’s the Talulah piece you can’t wait to get your hands on from the summer collection? The Strokes Midi Dress.
INTERVIEW
We talk to senior womenswear buyer at MYER, Teneille Ferguson about her favourite upcoming fashion trends and where she loves to escape to. ON FASHION You get to see all the international designer fashion shows well before they drop in store, what can we expect to be wearing in the coming year? In the next year expect to see lots of fringing, tassles and pleats. Most brands are playing into this detail in some way so you can look forward to seeing each individual take on these trends. What’s your favourite thing about your role as a buyer at Myer? I really enjoy working with designers and translating their vision to what I think our customer will embrace. It’s amazing working with so many talented individuals each with their own distinct style. What international trends will you be rocking in the coming seasons? I am looking forward to rocking the cropped flare next season as I’ve loved wearing full length flares this season. 6

ON ESCAPING THE EVERYDAY What is your go-to wardrobe piece when you’re holidaying? A white lightweight summer dress is perfect for holidaying. I want something I can put on over my bikini but is dressy enough to have a cocktail in at the beach. Where is your dream holiday destination? Positano and Santorini are next on my list. My idea of a dream holiday always involves the beach and lots of relaxation. Do you have a favourite escape, a café or beach, somewhere you go to rejuvenate in your home city of Melbourne? The beauty of living in Melbourne is with only an hours drive you have access to so many beautiful locations. One of the natural spring spa retreats in Daylesford is always a perfect escape. What was the best holiday you have ever been on? My recent trip to Qualia on Hamilton Island was probably the best getaway I’ve been on in a while. I needed to escape the Melbourne winter and catch some sun and it was so lovely to have some time out and relax for a few days.

TALULAH’S OPIUM
Head of design for TALULAH, Toni Dameglio talks us through her inspiration behind the Opium collection. On trends: “There are a few key trends that I wanted to touch on while designing this collection. While the TALULAH woman is timelessly stylish, there are a few key trends that I knew the TALULAH customer would be looking out for in the coming seasons. Things like cut-outs, midi lengths and matching sets. We’ve made our cutouts understated and elegant. They’re just a flirtation with the trend, really. I think they’re beautiful. You can see midi lengths across global fashion and we knew that wasn’t just a fad. It’s something that we know our customer will love, so while there are mini lengths, we’ve also included midi regularly across the collection. Obviously matching sets are a big trend at the moment. This one seemed like an obvious inclusion as people can wear it matching or not! I love the over-all prints that we’ve included too.”

“The opium print is where the collection takes its name from. This is a beautiful fresh print with greens and whites. I love how painterly it is. When planning prints, we also wanted to stay true to the TALULAH roots with a great floral print. Florals are so easy to wear and are a timeless inclusion to any wardrobe. The dazed floral print is also really modern and is almost an abstracted floral print. I think it’ll be a favourite for a lot of women this season. The other print we’ve included this season is a graphic monochrome print. It’s utterly modern and called the “Strokes” print, so look out for it!” On influences from her previous role at Miu Miu: “While I’m working to keep TALULAH true to its aesthetic for the loyal customers we’ve got, I am hoping some of the European influences I’ve soaked up from all those years working at Miu Miu come through in my designs. The team at TALULAH and myself have worked really hard to make sure all the finished product is beautifully tailored. There are a lot of details in this collection, so they had to be fitted several times over to make sure they look great on the wearer.”
