Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, co-stars in Emerald Fennell's highly anticipated film adaptation of Wuthering Heights, reunited in Los Angeles for their Vogue Australia cover. Photographed by Lachlan Bailey and styled by editor-in-chief Christine Centenera, the pair's chemistry comes to life in a series of images shot at LA institution Chateau Marmont and on Mulholland Drive, with the duo behind the wheel of a vintage convertible. “When we were at the top overlooking the city, a tourist bus drove past and everyone started screaming,” recalls fashion director Harriet Crawford, who flew from Sydney for the shoot and helped pull together looks from the latest spring/summer collections. “After that, more and more buses arrived.” Setting out to capture Robbie and Elordi through a cinematic lens, Crawford says classic film references served…

Matthew Earl Australian-born, Los Angeles-based director Matthew Earl was tasked with capturing Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi on video at the Chateau Marmont for this issue's cover shoot. “They have such fun together and allowing them to use the space rather than orchestrating anything structured was ideal,” says the creative, who was intent on conveying the pair's natural chemistry on camera. “They were both lovely – the most down-to-earth, warm people who can snap into character as soon as the cameras begin rolling.” The day's highlight? “Being in the passenger seat of a vintage convertible as Jacob Elordi drove down Mulholland was a lot of fun.” Danielle Alvarez “I'm pretty open about my life and career, because I think it's always helpful to know how someone else got to where…

Much has been made of the spring/summer ‘26 season, with 15 major designer debuts at fashion's biggest houses. Few other seasons in recent years were so breathlessly anticipated. What followed, however, was not the legendary clean slate, Instagram grid-wipe revolution or instant reset foretold. Rather, considered and compelling ideas unfolded as some designers refused to rush headlong into winds of change, and sequestered themselves in house archives or among their trusted creative inner circle, feeling out the house's DNA, framing history in their own ways, then unspooling new stories slowly and carefully. This was brick-by-brick, next-era building, with patience and an eye on newness. Fresh ideas with longevity were favoured over viral novelty; fashion reminding us that time is needed to lay down roots and build the bedrock for an…

The hallmark of any great photographer is a visual language identifiable as their own. But Lachlan Bailey, the Melbourne-raised creative and one of the world's most in-demand lensmen, says the process of honing an aesthetic is not linear. “I don't think it ever ends – sometimes you feel you've lost your voice, only to rediscover it,” he shares. “The only way through it is to make work. Keep creating, and don't be afraid to fail.” It's a process that's served him well. Bailey was a film student before he transitioned to photography and shot his first Vogue Australia cover, featuring Gemma Ward, in 2016. Bailey has since photographed Natalie Portman, Kim Kardashian, Kristen Stewart and Hailey Bieber for this title – he also captured Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi for…

Zoe Gustavia Anna Whalen doesn't always intend to draw from the past, but her mind is often there. “My great-great-grandmother made everything for everyone,” says the New York designer, surrounded by books in her soft-lit studio. “I have Christmas ornaments from her and quilts and baby clothes. She was just an amazing craftsperson.” Whalen's work, made mostly by hand, turns historical garb into new shapes. For her spring/summer ‘26 range, underpinnings, bloomers and corsets were reshaped into modern, even comfortable clothes for both day and eveningwear. Owing to the circumstances of her time, Whalen's great-great-grandmother couldn't pursue a creative career, but the designer intends to carry the spirit of these generational keepsakes to her garments, worn by the likes of Lorde and Suki Waterhouse. “I'm curious about what would happen…

Although the origins of the famous Louis Vuitton monogram, one of fashion's most recognisable motifs, have always been genteel and refined, it has travelled through more than a century of reincarnations to explode into the modern era in a riot of colour, energy and creativity. Now the maison has kicked off a year-long party celebrating its emblem with a special anniversary collection that recasts classic bags, like the Speedy, Neverfull and Noé, in limited-edition iterations. In 1896, Georges Vuitton created Louis Vuitton's monogram as a heartfelt tribute to his recently passed father, combining a concave-edged diamond, a four-petalled flower, the founder's initials and a Japanese-influenced precision and symmetry gaining traction in Paris at the time. Since then, the maison has been anything but precious with its most defining mark. Putting…

MONIQUE FARRUGIA Wooden tutus and sequins are 24-year-old University of Technology Sydney (UTS) alumnus Monique Farrugia's unlikely assemblage. In her graduate collection, a showpiece skirt was constructed from individual laser-cut panels of wood; a dress of paillettes featured the same material, each piece lacquered by hand. Influenced by her Maltese and Japanese heritage – the intricate lacework of the former and the wood and folding fans of the latter – Farrugia's work is heartfelt and poetically theatrical. “For me, experimenting with textiles is a way of expressing my own memories and those I've inherited from my family,” Farrugia says. But she remains grounded in the realities of what is a demanding industry; part of which comes from working in the swim and resort team at Zimmermann. “It's shaped how I…
