THERE’S JUST a few days to go until Carriageworks becomes the beating heart of Australian fashion. And despite all eyes on the anticipated shows, from Carla Zampatti’s opener to cult-favourite Sir the Label‘s Australian Fashion Week (AFW) debut; we’re also looking forward to the real-world runway. Because while the designers set the menu, call the shots — it’s the street style which balances all the flavours. So what hero dishes (erm, pieces) could we expect this year?

Home > Fashion > Trends > Ready to tie the knot? Why fashion’s gone back to business in 2025 IT FEELS LIKE only yesterday FashionTok was all tied up with bows. They were everywhere: attached to hair; clasped to collars; affixed to footwear; heck they were even fastened to glassware, candles and pickles (everything’s content remember?).

WINTER IS NEAR, and honestly we’re so ready for it. It’s the only season that shamelessly beckons us to pour that wine, make that cheeseboard, devour that cheeseboard, and never step foot outside — because baby, it’s way too cold for that. And what’s a stay-at-home day without a good binge fest? Fortunately, this month brings a slew of engaging new films and TV shows — sure to indulge the senses (and hermiting excuses) even more.

“I ALWAYS TELL the girls never take it seriously. If you take it seriously, you never get hurt,” Kate Hudson said as the ultimate free-spirited muse and groupie (or “Band-Aid” as she calls herself) in the cult 2000 film, Almost Famous. Despite cautioning the trials of heartbreak, we feel the same rule applies for our wardrobe decisions this autumn/winter.

HIGH JEWELLERY and high fashion go hand-in-hand with Chopard: from appointing Bella Hadid as an ambassador last September, to a longtime relationship with Cannes Film Festival (a partner since 1998) — and even dabbling in the world of couture with an inaugural collection in 2023. Yet for all their twinkles and celebrity moments — including a literal Red Carpet Collection — one need not forget time’s always been on Chopard’s side. It’s literally written in the Maison’s origin story.

WEARING ITS (technical) heart on its wrist, Vacheron Constantin has unveiled the world’s most complicated wristwatch at Watches & Wonders in Geneva. Dubbed the Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication-La Première, a contender for longest name, the new piece is a triumph for the world’s oldest watch Maison: 270 years old — and still ticking along.

Home > Beauty > Fragrance > Glossier You Fleur is not the floral perfume of your youth — it’s better MOST OF US remember our very first fragrance. Like a first kiss, it’s a coming-of-age milestone — gently spritzing ideas of what it means to be a grown-up. It embodies sophistication, a new and luxurious step in one’s growing beauty regimen; develops our evocative sensory buds; and shapes self-expression, whether it’s vampy, rebellious or innocent.

TIME STANDS still when you’re in love. You can lose track of the minutes, hours, maybe days when enveloped in an intense romance, a poetic whimsy. That is until a warm kiss at noon, a passionate embrace at midnight — seemingly separating day from night, affection from seduction. This is how Van Cleef & Arpels (VCA) measures time — most tangibly with their Pont des Amoureux watch — through magnetic feelings and surreal storytelling.

“IN THE SAFEST, most polite way possible, I need you to get us to the port, Fast and the Furious style, please,” I ask a Greek taxi driver, sweat beading on my forehead after racing through airport security in Santorini. My friend Cass and I are heading to Folegandros, a small Cycladic island that’s home to only around 700 people, to check out a new five-star resort, Gundari. In fact, it’s the only resort on the island.

LIFE IMITATES art at IWC — with the turbo release of a new Ingenieur Automatic 40, inspired by Apple TV+’s new film, F1.

Retro-chic green with IWC class — absolutely primed for Hollywood — it’s hardly the first time the esteemed brand’s dabbled in films.
