EDITOR'S LETTER

CONTRIBUTORS

YAEL STONE ON OVERCOMING CLIMATE ANXIETY • In 2020, the Australian star of Orange is the New Black pledged to relinquish her green card and primarily work locally to reduce her impact on the planet. Now, contributing to a new book about caring for our world, she shares her experience of coping with the stress she felt about climate change.

FORM AND FUNCTION • The adage is true: investing in forever pieces is a sustainable way forward in fashion, but this time they're re-imagined, giving our new season wardrobes a fresh twist.

WASTE NOT • Curated by Kit Willow, Melbourne's world-first upcycling initative Future From Waste Lab revives unwanted clothes. Willow speaks to the latest designer to take part, Heidi Middleton, on a better style future.

GLAD BAGS • A cool-weather wardrobe that doesn't heat the planet, antipodean accessories with heart and the latest in sustainable fashion.

EVER THINE • Of the myriad colours, textures and shapes that debuted at autumn/ winter ’22/’23, a cabal of pieces possessed a timelessness that will give them starring roles in our wardrobes for seasons to come.

THRIFTED SPIRITS • Vintage clothing has undergone a transformation of late, graduating from dusty nostalgia trips to a thriving category catering to every taste. We ask three storeowners offering distinct styles their top tips on one of the most idiosyncratic, and sustainable, ways to shop.

HOT STONE • Though this Bulgari high jewellery necklace draws its shape from men's neckties, the centrepiece - a show-stopping hot pink spinel, the fourth largest in the world - radiates feminine allure, all 131.21 carats of it.

CASSANDRA DITTMER • We ask fashion talents to curate their world through style. Cassandra Dittmer, LA and Lagos-based sustainable stylist and founder of new eco-friendly label CD Studio, shares her inspirations for creating a conscious wardrobe.

WORK WISE • As we strive for a better tomorrow, we enlist three industry leaders carving out big business sustainability careers within fashion, communications and tech to divulge how they did it, taking them from NGOs, to online communities and even the oval office.

COME DINE WITH ME • Communal eating promotes a sense of connectedness and wellbeing. No wonder local supper clubs offering great food and company are fast gaining popularity.

LOST AND FOUND • Melbourne artist Lucina Lane works sustainably and exclusively with used materials, as seen in her latest work, exhibited as part of the 2022 Macfarlane Commissions.

NOTE TO SELF • It calms the mind and has proven healing benefits, so why aren't we all journalling? Margery Ai discovers the joy of putting pen to paper.

BLUE CRUSH • In spite of our island status, the ocean receives a tiny percentage of Australia's charitable donations. Championing a wave of change, The Sapphire Project is a new initiative uniting our top conservationists, philanthropists and water-loving VIPs with the inaugural event raising funds for our Great Barrier Reef.

GOING GREEN • In 2022, is it possible to love cosmetics and love the planet? Change is afoot, as companies and beauty buffs chart an eco-friendly future.

CASE IN POINT • More than lip service,...
