EDITOR'S LETTER

CONTRIBUTORS

In focus • As Hoyeon prepares for her feature film debut as Sung-ae in the thriller Hope, she returns to her modelling roots at home in Seoul, South Korea, for her first cover of Vogue Australia.

Power shift • An attitude of self-assured elegance and composure returns to fashion as a more assertive mood takes hold in an uncertain world. Fearless dressing is back.

High times • Demna, Gucci's creative director, is riding a wave of newness, reinstating the house's high-gloss, high-glamour quotient. It's a feeling these fiery-red, sky-high mules encapsulate – and then some.

Lou Stoppard • The power of the written word is often the subject of this writer and curator's work, which is as wide-ranging as her formative influences.

Next in show • These names form a fresh homegrown guard of fashion creatives, not waiting for permission as they shape new roles and make their voices – and work – known. Meet them at Australian Fashion Week 2026.

EXTRA, EXTRA • Watch maximalism reigns as brands up the ante with sculptural design, colourful gems and a more-is-more approach, writes Annie Brown.

ONE OF ONE • For three decades, Lucy Liu's provocative and self-searching art has slipped under the radar. But with a new exhibition at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art – and a retrospective to come – she steps into her power. By Myles Russell-Cook.

NEW DAWN

HOYEON • Just a few years ago, Korean model Hoyeon had never set foot on a film set. Now she's one of the world's most in-demand actors about to make her big-screen debut. At home in Seoul, she shares her journey with Hannah-Rose Yee.

RETURN TO FORM • With autumn/winter '26/'27, a new age at Fendi has begun, defined by a quiet power. Maria Grazia Chiuri distils a new lean silhouette grounded in Italian purity of form, sharp tailoring and a focused palette. A clear first statement.

THIS WOMAN'S WORK • Maria Grazia Chiuri's ascension at Fendi is both a return and a reset. For the house's next chapter, she asserts an inclusive vision reverberating with female-centric energy.

SHE'S LIKE A RAINBOW • Model of the year Anok Yai is electric. Alongside her mother, Nyibol Akuei, she wears the season's best in a new crop of searing brights fizzing with energy. Life in colour.

Haze of glory • From powder pigments that whisper their arrival to painterly swatches that speak volumes, throw out the rulebook and step into make-up's modern universe where anything goes.

MILKY WAY • Bathed in the smoothness of their star ingredients – creamy vanilla and warm almond – this batch of fragrances is so good you'll want to spritz it by the litre.

TRUE BLEU • Starring in...
