Interview

After we attended the press showing for Little Joe Woman's A/W collection, it was evident that Gail Elliott (founder, designer and ex-supermodel to boot) knew something about leather. Butter-soft hides in classic-yet-sexy shapes beckoned us to a rack laiden with classic pencil skirts, supple skinny-cut pants and chic shifts. Given this week's focus on leather — we got Gail on board so we could all benefit from her expert knowledge. From some sensible styling tips to an interesting use for antibacterial wipes, we gotta say it — Gail's not just a pretty face! Step inside and get schooled in Leather 101. . . 

The sass & bide girls got famous off the back (or should we say the butt) of their denim — remember their infamous two-inch zip hipster jeans? Yup. Circa 2002 we owned at least three *cough, five* pairs. So who better to teach us in the mystic arts of finding the perfect pair of jeans than Sarah-Jane Clarke herself? SJC is one half of the S&B brand, and certainly knows her stuff. We quizzed her on everything from denim care tips, to this season's must-have pair. . .  styling ideas to her personal faves. Keen to learn from the master? Denim 101 awaits. . .  

Mambo has a history of tapping the hottest local modelling talent to star as in their campaigns, but this season they've widened their Mambo Goddess net to include Hungarian supe and Victoria's Secret babe Barbara Palvin. Providing the Aussie beach-bunny representation is home-grown hottie Ashely Hart (yes, she of the genetically blessed Hart genealogy). Together, they make one smokin' swimsuit-clad team. We interviewed the fun-loving duo on the day of the Spring/Summer 2013-'14 campaign shoot, shot by Jason Lee Parry on the iconic Venice Beach strip in LA. From carry-on case essentials dodging crocodiles in the Costa Rican jungle (true story) the girls had a lot to say! Put the kettle on, pop your feet up and click on through to see their behind-the-scenes shenanigans . . . 

Melbourne-based brand May the Label has done it again, pushing out a easy-to-wear, impossible-to-resist line for the season ahead. For Winter 2013, designer Georgia Phillis has pushed her distinctive prints albeit this time with a distinctly '60s twist. Wear the paisleys, pixelated patterns and florals with block-coloured separates for simplicity's sake, or double up in like-minded a trouser or short suit. We asked Georgia to give us the downlow on her latest baby. Step inside to see what the brains behind this local operation had to say.

You might know a few things about Aussie beauty Phoebe Tonkin — she's a talented actress making it big in Hollywood, she's one of our top style icons and she's got a major social media following. One thing you might not know about Phoebe: she's a total health nut. She and best friend, actress Teresa Palmer, run wellness website Your Zen Life together and Phoebe's often swapping the red carpet for green juices and a tough workout. Following the Adidas Energy Boost global launch, which Phoebe attended in New York, we chatted to the actress about what she exercises in, where she shops, the last thing she bought and much more. Right this way!
