EDITOR’S LETTER

CONTRIBUTORS

Winter 2.0 • A cold-weather wardrobe that makes a statement is running hot as temperatures dip. Strong, graphic silhouettes, decadent textures and effortless refinement are the centrepieces.

Gold rush • Inspired by the gold lacquer on a Coromandel screen at Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel’s rue Cambon apartment, this flap bag, ravished in embellishment, is a lesson in ornate yet refined sophistication.

Rebel edge • Emerging Australian designer Samuel Lewis has earned the approval of Lady Gaga, Madonna and Chappell Roan. And he’s just getting started.

Thistle Brown • Industrious, resourceful and focused, Thistle Brown is on the ascent. Enlisted most recently by fellow New Zealander Lorde, the now New York-based creative shares his influences.

BACK CATALOGUE • Watch brands often revive their greatest hits and reference archival designs, and for good reason.

Now, on her fourth Vogue Australia cover, Lorde is ready to talk about it all, in conversation with Hannah-Rose Yee and some of her closest friends, collaborators and creative influences.

ONE HUNDRED PER CENT • Fendi’s storied past is retraced through a series of famous looks and Karl Lagerfeld’s sketches, captured at the Colosseo Quadrato. Silvia Venturini Fendi, opening the maison’s archive, guides us on an exploration of the brand’s enduring influence.

FACE FUTURE • Under the discerning but lion-hearted mentorship of trailblazer Elaine George, the next generation of First Nations models is ready to stand up and be counted.
