We shot far and wide for this issue, which focuses onheritage and, in turn, future and legacy.

We worked with many outstanding luxury partners showcasing AW26 collections and did a deep dive into the archives as well. Tony Glenville, the great fashion observer, has been going to the shows since the 1960s and recalls some of those memories in a nicely personal story for us.

Roxy Lola, 10 Australia’s digital and music editor, interviewed three one’s to watch including Pamela, the rising duo that is Sarah Ellen and Josh Kempen. They recently released their great debut EP It’s Nice to See You Here. We worked with Daine, who’s one of the most exciting musicians in Australia right now, with their unique hyper electro-pop sound. They are all set to take on the world with an upcoming album release and headline tour.

Father’s Favourite are a talented super duo in the making. Mia Hewitt and Cherise Combrink are musicians at the beginning of their journey.We photographed them in the finest fluid Chanel on the eve of the Chanel Replica show in Sydney in early November.

For our newly minted 10 Watches & Jewellery supplement accompanying this issue,we shot sparkling Chanel High Jewellery in Paris.

We caught up with Australian actor Lily Sullivan in London, she stars in the recently released Soulm8te, in which she plays an android sex bot, and has more projects launching this year.

We spoke to designers in search of the meaning of heritage. Norma Kamali has it. She is a legend and at the age of 81 is still helming her company and why not? She simply has so much energy and has fulfilled so many brilliant ideas over the decades.

We spoke with Marco Falcioni, the creative director of Hugo Boss, who continues to deliver strong and beautiful collections inspired in part by the archives and, as he tells us, strangers he meets on the street. Hugo Boss is the newly minted official lifestyle outfitter of the Australian Open for 2027, a tournament we love and will be game on for, courtside.

We also played with multimillion-dollar Cartier high jewellery on the eve of the must-see Cartier exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. The exhibition is richly layered with historic pieces and so many fascinating stories.

This kind of detailed storytelling is a reminder perhaps that heritage is the sum of our parts, who we become and how we choose to explore our creativity and truth. The future is up for grabs.

Issue 28 - FUTURE, LEGACY, HERITAGE - is out today.
