Break out the streamers, sprinkle some confetti and bust out the poppers! Then clean up that mess (what were you thinking?!), because you’re going to need some time and space to sew. I’m sure you’ve noticed already, but I’m beyond excited to say that

Acceptance of yourself, a situation, another person, feels so good – but it isn’t always easy to reach. When you’re growing up and forming your sense of self, every casual comment adds up. A racist comment, a transphobic joke, a slur whispered under

In Australia, according to the most up-to-date stats, 74 million tonnes of waste is created every year. If you lined up all the bottles and cans we use in a single day, it would stretch over 4000 kilometres – the same distance from the country’s most

I spent over 40 hours on my phone last week. Impassive and dispassionate, dead-eyed scrolling. A selfie here, a trauma-based meme there, but mainly just lurking like a true internet goblin, needing something to distract me from the humdrum mundanity

What first led you to photography? When I was a kid, I was obsessed with disposable cameras; I took photos of everything and often made my siblings pose for me in flower beds and with sheets draped across doors as backdrops. As a teenager, I was more

We all love clothes that make us feel good. In reaching for something that both celebrates our bodies and reflects our personalities, we often make a silent yet illustrative statement about who we are. But in a world where virtue signalling and value

This is a relatively simple pattern drafting exercise utilising slashing, spreading and geometry – it’s crazy to think our teachers wasted so much time in high school asking us about hypothetical cylinders full of liquid when they should have been te

Few natural icons are more famous or more beloved than the Great Barrier Reef. Thanks to the likes of David Attenborough and Nemo, millions of people around the world feel connected to this spectacular place, even if they’ve never visited. It’s a glo

Chances are you’ve heard or seen the word hygge (pronounced hoo-geh) in the past few years. It’s been doing the rounds as a trendy internet lifestyle philosophy promising to transform your life into a paragon of cosy calm – filled with fluffy socks,

We collaborated with clever Kiwi patternmaker Kim Sisson from Hubba Ding to create the ultimate in comfort dressing – an extravagantly voluminous tent dress. With relaxed dropped shoulders and rah-rah ruffle sleeves, the oversized silhouette makes a

Tell us about your journey into patternmaking… My mum taught me to sew when I was young and I’ve been sewing ever since. I guess that’s what makes it really special for me – the fact it’s a craft that my beautiful mum taught me. She had the patience

Tell us a bit about Washpool and what inspired you to create it… I know the classic reason for creating a skincare product is the driving force of a loved one with a sensitivity to ingredients in commercial products. A problem, a solution and a great

Tell us a bit about discovering your love for food… My childhood growing up on the islands was all about being outdoors, picking fruit off the trees and walking on the reef. Food was always around me and I was learning from the oldies how to make cul

I’m saying goodbye to the idea that I’m incapable. Whether it be taking courage to have *that* tricky conversation with someone you care about or placing one foot in front of the other (cause, you know… pandemic and all), I can now celebrate that I’m
