Robin Givhan Fashion editor and Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Robin Givhan, interviewing Rachel Scott, Proenza Schouler’s new creative director, for ‘History play’ (page 114), was struck by her poise. “I admired how she seemed at ease answering questions, talking about things she still didn’t know, describing her aspirations as well as her stumbles. All of that is a beautiful indication of confidence,” says Givhan. Reflecting on Scott’s varied fashion background, she adds: “It’s nice to see the diversity of places in which talent can be incubated. The fashion industry should remember that. Folks will never know what they’re missing unless they widen their field of vision.” Bianca Martinello Brazilian-born Bianca Martinello, known as “Bibi” or “Bi” to her family and friends, models the latest looks in ‘High attitude’ (page 34). Determined…

For her first cover story for Vogue Australia, captured by photography duo Luigi Murenu and Iango Henzi on set in New York City, Anne Hathaway shone in a series of new-season styles curated by fashion designer, stylist and creative director of Fenty, Jahleel Weaver. “Luigi and Iango asked Anne to dance, then Anne asked everyone to dance with her. It was a great moment,” recalls hairstylist Orlando Pita, who first collaborated with Hathaway for her makeover in the original The Devil Wears Prada more than two decades ago. “It was a really fun shoot,” adds Hathaway. “I love Luigi and Iango.” During the day, the actor donned a striking line-up of black and red looks, featuring designs from Schiaparelli, Alaïa and Chanel. “I’m such a hilariously stereotypical Scorpio,” she confesses.…

Louis Vuitton’s monogram turns 130 this year. What better way to celebrate than choosing its unmistakable Gothic Revival-inspired motif on a Speedy Bandoulière in thrillingly bright hues? Some things evolve but, happily, some remain the same. “Raw materials may have changed, but we have the historic savoir-faire of Louis Vuitton,” says Pierre-Louis Vuitton, descendant of the maison’s founder. The desirability of the Hermès Birkin needs little explanation. In this butterscotch iteration, practicality and precision par excellence collide in sumptuous, unbelievably soft Doblis calfskin, a suede first used by the French house in the 1930s. An all-American favourite that combines practicality, with its money-purse closure, and a slick design and panache rooted in New York City’s get-up-and-go. Coach’s Kisslock – originally debuting in 1973 – is an archival revival for good…

AUDREY LEES A Prada exclusive can make a career, something 19-year-old Audrey Lees knew after being confirmed for the label’s spring/summer ’26 show. “I screamed,” she says. “Meeting Raf [Simons] and Miuccia Prada for the first time” sealed the moment. With her tumble of wavy brown hair and wistful, soulful eyes, she can now lean on the likes of photographer Ava van Osdol for advice and fellow model friends for support. “Modelling to me is a wave I’m going to ride for as long as possible,” she says. Now, with Dior, Saint Laurent and Chloé under her belt, she’s flying high. LATAHLIA HICKLING Her international runway debut for Chanel in October last year, following her first-ever Vogue Australia cover, meant Latahlia Hickling has achieved her goals sooner than she could…

Anyone wondering if fashion is in a state of full-throttle handbag mania need only open TikTok and search ‘Chanel unboxing’. Since Matthieu Blazy’s spring/summer ’26 collection – his debut for the house – arrived in boutiques, a slew of clips shows clients unpacking and swooning over new bags. Many have more than a million views. Last year, Jonathan Anderson’s Dior Book bags, printed with covers of classics like Dracula and In Cold Blood, served as the first look at his new reign at the house and were deliriously snapped up by shoppers. In 2026, bags are once again a focal point in fashion, a trend reminiscent of the 1990s and 2000s. Forecasting company WGSN reports that the luxury handbag sector is forecast to grow four to six per cent through…

PARIS JADE BURROWS The National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) is renowned for producing illustrious alumni of stage and screen, but less so for fashion designers. Twenty-six-year-old Paris Jade Burrows may change that. The creative transcends easy definition: the NIDA graduate studied Design for Performance, rather than fashion, and last year debuted a 30-piece collection inspired by the poetry and plays of Bertolt Brecht, exploring themes of religion, politics and power structures. This month, Burrows will present their third collection is an immersive and ambitious 50-look show held off-schedule the day after Australian fashion week. The pieces are inspired by Gustave Doré illustrations that appeared in literary works by John Milton, Dante Alighieri and Edgar Allan Poe. “My teachers and mentors at NIDA showed me the importance of strong research…

JONAH WATERHOUSE, fashion news editor “The best purchases are the things that fall into your lap, fit perfectly and end up being something you wear all the time. I’d never have anticipated this pinstripe suit – a 1990s design by Roberto Cavalli picked up more than five years ago from the always-fruitful Newtown vintage store KOT-J – would be something I’d be so enamoured with. There are a few reasons why. The first being that Roberto Cavalli isn’t a brand I usually go for, and I almost never find the right fit when shopping for vintage. But there’s something about this suit, with its pinstripes and slightly dramatic shoulder pads, that has a subtle power. It looks as good with a shirt and tie as it does with a T-shirt…

In many ways, Emma Grede can read the moment so well that her career milestones and major ventures trace how the industry at large has shifted. With a background in events production, she recognised the opportunities at the nexus of fashion and popular culture (the latter also the name of the company she runs with her husband Jens Grede) ranging from conversations around diversity to sport’s rising influence. She has co-founded brands including Good American, a size-inclusive label with Khloé Kardashian, and Off Season, a sports apparel brand with Kristin Juszczyk, wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk. Most famously, she is the founding partner and chief product officer of Kim Kardashian’s juggernaut brand, Skims. Grede’s trajectory is also emblematic of how traditional gatekeepers and routes into the industry…
