Postcards from Byron Bay, at The Bower

6 days ago | russh.com | Samantha Corry

I used to dismiss the idea of weekend getaways. What’s the point, I thought—why not just wait for a proper holiday? But after a recent 48-hour escape to Byron Bay, I’ve never been happier to be proven wrong. Two days in the sun-drenched beach town and I felt completely reset. It turns out, a weekend is more than enough to switch off, lean in, and pretend real life doesn’t exist. If you’re thinking of a quick trip up the coast, here’s how to do Byron Bay in full switch-off mode. Stay...
A24 Music is coming, but what exactly is it?

1 week ago | russh.com | Samantha Corry

A24 has always been more than a film studio. It’s a moodboard, a movement, a meticulous curator of culture. So when the indie powerhouse posted the words "Stay tuned" to Instagram, against a jet-black backdrop with a retro record glowing in the background, the internet, predictably, got excited. Most of the questions mainly in the comment sections are asking: What does it mean? Is this a record label? Or perhaps a streaming platform?
Post cards from Byron Bay, Hotel Marvell

1 week ago | russh.com | Samantha Corry

Byron Bay has a particular rhythm that feels measured and elemental. The scent of salt in the air, the lucent mornings, the way the coastline curvas inward — it's a place where pace is recalibrated. For Editor-in-Chief Jess Blanch, a recent weekend at Hotel Marvell offered a welcome pause.
A-ESQUE's Amanda Rettig sends postcards from Milan Design Week

1 week ago | russh.com | Samantha Corry

Milan Design Week is an annual event that sees the city buzzing, from city centre stores, streets and palazzos to the outskirts of town. Derelict buildings are converted to activated pulsating spaces and the city exhibition buildings are filled from wall to wall with legacy furniture brands, emerging designers and this year’s euroluce exhibitors for Salone del Mobile 2025. I keep returning to this immersive design experience and have learnt how different the week can be from person to person.
Artist Charlotte-Rose Smith at Art Basel in Hong Kong with Charles and Keith

We touched down in Hong Kong at 2pm, the air was hot and dense, it felt like the city was wrapping us up in a warm embrace. We had left rainy London 12 hours earlier, and the flight was back-to-back Sex And The City and glasses of white wine which induced enough hours of sleep to feel well rested.
Cher Tan on her current read, and the book that everyone should read once

3 weeks ago | russh.com | Samantha Corry

For Cher Tan, reading is less an escape and more an excavation, of systems, identities, and the fault lines in between. A cultural critic and essayist, Tan’s literary taste traverses zines, theory, and underground ephemera, all filtered through a sharp, unrelenting intellect.

Does "cool" exist in the era of curated authenticity?

3 weeks ago | russh.com | Samantha Corry

Everyone dresses like they live in Copenhagen now; clean and minimalist. I've never been there before, but I've been told it's so me. The line was delivered like a compliment, an algorithmic pat on the back if you will. But as I later scrolled on TikTok I see a girl wearing cream trousers and The Row's scrunched black loafers, paired with the small round Miu Miu glasses. I nodded. I liked it. I saved it. But something felt off. Like, I’d already seen it too many times for it to feel like a choice.
Meet internet presence and breakout Actress, Quen Blackwell

3 weeks ago | russh.com | Samantha Corry

Quen Blackwell has always known how to make a moment. Years before TikTok became a launchpad for global fame, before Instagram grids were curated like art galleries, there was Vine. A place where a then-teenage Quen, under the name “quensadilla,” posted six-second snippets that made millions laugh. Her humour is dry, chaotic, at times surreal, but always sincere. It was this uncanny ability to oscillate between absurdity and vulnerability that made people watch.
Chinelo Ikem on the book that made her a reader for life

4 weeks ago | russh.com | Samantha Corry

For Chinelo, reading is more than just a past time, it’s a reckoning, and a way of discovering. As a voracious reader, thoughtful critic, and voice within the online literary space, her taste is shaped by the sharp philosophy of Ingrid Robeyns alongside, to everyones favourite romance novel of Twilight; the interior spirals of Vivian from Post-Traumatic paired with the visionary writing of Toni Morrison and bell hooks.
