Fashion Quarterly

What you’ll find inside Fashion Quarterly’s spring issue We all know spring heralds longer days and warmer weather but for many of us it also brings a fresh perspective, which, as editor in chief Sarah Murray writes in her ed’s letter gives a certain hopefulness. It’s that same sense of hope that underpins the latest issue of Fashion Quarterly with fresh new fashion editorials, trend pages, and insightful articles. Coined the ‘beauty’ issue it has an elongated beauty section (naturally) spanning 37 pages filled with spring beauty trends, treatments and tech. We explore the rise of refillables, blush blindness and the innovative beauty breakthroughs of 2024. Of course, the issue also delivers on fashion. In our trending section we’ve curated the top five trends of the season, must-have arm candy to sweeten your wardrobe, tips for mastering the art of ‘high/low’ dressing and we give you a roundup of the hottest new designers to watch out for and support. In the life and culture section you’ll find books to add to your nightstand, and an excerpt from Make it Make Sense - the debut book from the creators of media phenomenon Shit You Should Care About. Our On Top section gets down to business with 10 non-negotiables for your work wardrobe, singer Georgia Lines shares why the music festival SXSW opened doors for her and the role networking and collaboration played, and we ask whether wallets are becoming obsolete.  If you’re planning a getaway let photographer Ruby Hamilton’s dreamy photo essay from her time in Greece (in our travel section) transport you to another place, or read about why luxury accommodation The Landing delivers more than just a weekend away. Read all that, and so much more in Fashion Quarterly’s spring issue, on sale now!

Winners named for the inaugural FQ Fashion Awards brought to you by Shark Beauty On Wednesday evening, the world outside Morningside’s Glasshouse venue fell away as our community’s attention was turned to the collective achievements of Aotearoa’s fashion industry. Friends, colleagues, and finalists gathered in anticipation of who would be named the very best in their category. The invitation read: “Aotearoa produces some of the finest fashion creatives. Let’s celebrate them” – and celebrate we did. The venue was dressed immaculately with deep fuchsia and red florals by Floral Stylist Co. and furniture by Flock Events; there was a chrome runway created by Rilee’s where a spring/summer show curated by stylist Courtney Joe would follow; and wine by Villa Maria, Moët & Chandon, and Almighty mocktails that flowed. Upon arrival an activation by Belvedere Vodka provided a coat check, cocktail and caviar bump. Everywhere you turned there was something joyful to behold. In the crowd, New Zealand designs, both new and emerging, could be sighted on guests who had pulled their strongest looks for the cocktail/black tie dress code. Some, even, designed by people present in the room. In the months that preceded, hundreds of nominations came through, some from the public, some self-nominated, prompting those hoping to advance to submit a portfolio of work to be assessed by our external team of judges. Amanda Linnell, David K. Shields, Katherine Lowe, and Zeenat Wilkinson cast their discerning eyes over the applications, assessing them against a series of stringent criteria. As the clock struck 7pm, Fashion Quarterly’s editor in chief and publisher Sarah Murray, and host Wilhelmina Shrimpton made their way onto the stage, and the moment our finalists had been waiting for had arrived. The atmosphere was electric as each category was announced, and the winners took to the stage to accept their awards. The categories ranged from Rising Star to Sustainability Initiative of the Year, showcasing the diverse talent within Aotearoa’s fashion community. It was a night that not only honoured the achievements of today but also inspired the possibilities of tomorrow. The inaugural FQ Fashion Awards set a high standard for the future, leaving everyone excited for what’s to come next year. As the night drew to a close, it was clear that the FQ Fashion Awards had achieved their goal: celebrating the brilliance and creativity of New Zealand’s fashion industry in a style that would be remembered for years to come.

Our publisher and editor in chief Sarah Murray took a moment out of her busy schedule to sit down with Laing founder Anna Murray to discuss magazine ownership, wardrobe power pieces, and what "work/life balance" really looks like in this day and age. "What’s challenging these days is that it’s not only a magazine - it’s a website, it’s social media, it’s events," she says. "We like to meet our audience where they are so we have to diversify, and that is a lot more challenging (and time consuming) than producing one magazine each quarter. On top of that, learning the ‘business side’ of a publication has been eye-opening - I can only describe it as a baptism of fire!" Thank you to Anna at Laing, Mara Sommer for capturing these images, and The Village NZ co-working space for forming the backdrop. Continue reading below: https://lnkd.in/ghdXtcBj
