I’m not a very regimented artist,” says Jennifer Lee, the Korean-American musician who goes by the moniker TOKiMONSTA (chosen after the Korean nursery rhyme ‘Santoki’, which translates to ‘mountain bunny’). But we beg to differ. After rising through

In 2005, a little-known tennis player named Maria Sharapova was seen making a call outside Wimbledon on a bright pink clamshell phone. We didn’t know it at the time, but that moment would go on to mark the start of two great journeys: Sharapova’s asc

No matter how thin, borderless or Ultra HD they become, TVs are yet to master the art of adapting into a room seamlessly, or claiming space modestly. For devices that often cling to walls, they’re no wallflowers. And while there’s nothing wrong with

It’s not every day a sitcom with the power to redefine the way we think about race and relationships comes along. But since first airing in 2016, Insecure has been moving all of the relevant needles and pushing conversations forward, not just in Amer

Books about movies are nothing new. Any film-school graduate worth their unframed Jim Jarmusch poster has a fine collection of cult-cinema books to match. But monographs about brand-new films – the kind that premiere on streaming platforms and in cin

Depending on who you talk to, Australian philosopher Peter Singer is either “the most dangerous man in the world today,” “the world’s most influential living philosopher” or something in between. The grandson of three Holocaust victims, he grew up in

When in March 2018 the designer Riccardo Tisci was announced as chief creative officer of British behemoth Burberry – the only luxury brand listed on the FTSE 100, with a turnover hovering around $5.2bn as of the last financial year’s takings – eyebr

The nine-to-five wardrobe was a focal point this season and we saw plenty of clothes that catered to the quiet dignity of the daily grind. At Prada, intelligent suits and sweater vests felt like a nod to those who show up and get on with it, while at

We wouldn’t recommend dunking in them – though you could, considering the limited-edition Air Jordan 1 High OGs are made with the same meticulous attention to detail as Dior’s iconic saddlebag. But dunk or no dunk (we’ll be keeping ours in a glass ca

Diplo, the man, the record producer – and the hair – is having a moment. From Calvin Klein campaigns to sitting front row at all the hottest fashion shows, the 41-year-old is currently undertaking a two-pronged assault on the style status quo. First

An ever-expanding body of research is linking a healthy gut to strong immune systems, optimum heart and brain function, better moods, sleep and – vanity alert – glowing skin that reaps all the benefits of a balanced diet. On the flip side, poor gut h

James Bond, cinema’s most famous spy, is defined not by his actions or his deeds, but by his possessions. He saves, he kills, he seduces. But these are all standard actions for a host of other on-screen agents. Though when Bond does it, he does it in

We all know what it pays to be an AFL footballer – the generous salaries, arms weighed down by WAGs, chests stuffed with pride and egos pumped with the adoration of fans. But at what price? Ask Alex Pearce, 24 – a Fremantle Dockers defender at the po

Shortly before midnight, on a damp Friday last October, Daniel Craig shot his last scene as James Bond. It was a chase sequence, outside, on the back lot of Pinewood Studios, just west of London. The set was a Havana streetscape – Cadillacs and neon.

Every day arrived with a red dawn. A sepia shadow hung over the whole country. We’d taste smoke before we opened our eyes, navigate a haze to work or school. The air itself was a fine foul ash. It dusted everything and smothered everyone. Some days j

Buttoned up in his suit, at first Brian Houston looked a little uncomfortable, standing there on the White House lawn. But once he started speaking, it was as though God himself had put him there. And Houston might well have believed it, too. In Dece

There are two key trends happening in hostelry this year. The first involves established travel destinations like Bangkok and NYC realising that they can’t simply coast on their reps – the new generation of cashed-up travellers aren’t all that impres

Drive two hours south of LA and you’ll find yourself in San Diego, a SoCal metropolis that sits 27km from the Mexican border, hugging the Pacific coastline. Known mostly for its year-round sunshine, this Californian city can be likened to Byron Bay –

Given some of the less-than-subtle names of his lady friends over the years – Plenty O’Toole, Xenia Onatopp, Holly Goodhead – you’d be mistaken for thinking Bubbles was yet another ‘Bond girl’. Guess again. It’s actually how your sassy single aunt re

I’m not standing on a soapbox beating people with Geraldton wax,” says Jock Zonfrillo, the chef and founder of Adelaide’s trailblazing restaurant Orana, and one of MasterChef Australia’s three new judges. “I’ve always tried to do it in a way that mak

When I come to my senses, I realise, to my slight disappointment, that I am not in fact at the summit of the world’s tallest mountain. I’m in Manly. And I’m lying on my back, having just completed a series of rigorous breathing exercises guided by a

James, is it really necessary to drive quite so fast?” MI6 evaluator and Bond girl Caroline (Serena Gordon) nervously asks Bond (Pierce Brosnan) in GoldenEye. Entering pursuit with a Ferrari ‘F355 GTS’, Bond glances over. “More often than you think.”
