CLUTCH IT
‘Madison’ wool tuxedo

It might be small
enough to hold in the
palm of your hand,
yet there’s no doubt a
directional clutch makes
a big impact. With
every fashion house
now offering downsized
designs as part of their
new season collections,
it’s safe to say a standout
clutch is the new symbol
of style status.

THE TREND:
SAPPHIRE
A holiday to St Tropez might be a few months
off yet but this season’s rich blue hues will
have you dreaming of lazy sun-filled days on the
Riviera – pronto!
A standout trend from the international Fall 2012
Ready To Wear runway shows and a favourite with
stylish leading ladies including Rachel McAdams and
Cameron Diaz, blue in all its incarnations dominates
the style stakes. The moral of the fashion story
here is; don’t dive into a pool of black when
temperatures drop, up the ante in winter blues. As
new season pieces hit stores, set your sights on
dresses, winter coats and statement accessories
in vivid shades of cobalt, sapphire and azure.

Truth be told, chemically cobalt aluminate is
toxic but when it comes in the form of a sophisticated

won’t have to think twice about what to wear your

hues play nice with most other colours too – think

fashion statement.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH
LEONA EDMISTON
With more than 25 years experience in the
fashion business and a string of A-list fans
including Elle McPherson, Britney Spears, Susan
Sarandon and Kristen Davis to name but a few, it
goes without saying that leading Australian fashion
designer, Leona Edmiston, is an authority on style.
The influential designer’s career began back in the
mid 1980s with her debut fashion label Morrissey
Edmiston, launched with then business partner
Peter Morrissey. By the time the duo parted ways,
Leona had cemented herself as one of Australia’s
finest design talents, going on to launch her
eponymous label, Leona Edmiston, with business
partner Jeremy Ducker in 2001. A tribute to the
dress in all its forms, Leona Edmiston is for the
confident, urban woman.
Classic yet feminine, Leona’s frocks exude
personality and sophistication making them perfect
to take the busy professional from the office to
the opera with ease. The revered designer says
she understands that a woman ‘wants to look
effortlessly glamorous, sexy and chic no matter
what occasion she is thrown into’, evident in her
new Autumn/Winter collection which focuses
on abstract galaxy and romantic
floral prints sourced from
Europe and New York as well
as vintage influences such as
bat-wing sleeves and 50s-style
silhouettes.
Luxe fabrics are also of
paramount importance to the
designer who favours sleek
jersey, soft silks and crisp
cottons to bring to life the
flattering cuts of her frocks.
And, while temperatures might be dropping,
Leona still has a sunny outlook for the new
season, listing beautiful bold colours and vivacious
prints as her top trends for Autumn/Winter.
In fact, the designer encourages all women who
visit her store to experiment with their style.
‘Have fun with colours and prints, [and] don’t be
afraid to add a clashing bag or patterned tights
to change the look from day to night.’ Wise words
from a woman in the fashion know.
If you have time in your lunch break, visit
Leona’s Chifley Plaza store on Level 1 to view her
new collection.

THE TREND:
DAPPER
Dapper designs with a sense of nostalgia and
timeless masculinity dominated the Milan catwalk,
so it’s little wonder that this season being fashion
forward is all about travelling back in time. Taking
inspiration from eras past, this season’s men’s
collections have a distinct traditional English
gentleman vibe.
And perhaps this is thanks in part to a renewed
interest in the monarch – in particular the dashing
Prince William – and other famous men of that ilk,
including Daniel Craig and David Beckham who
are single-handedly bringing dapper back. Luxe
wool suits, silk bow-ties and dinner jackets all
fit for royalty are the benchmark for the modern
gentleman, and just as well stores are following suit.
Sophisticated tailored suiting in regal navy
and charcoal, jacquard sweaters, fine knits and
crisp chinos are what well-dressed men are made
of. And as they say ‘the devil is in the details’,
so all the extras matter too – think silk pocket
handkerchiefs, knitted ties, tweed caps and blackrimmed spectacles.
Far from being stuffy, this style revolution is more
than just a fad or a persona reserved just for the
boardroom, it’s a way of life for the man who likes
to work hard, play hard and look good doing so.

entire shoe with a shoe
brush, followed by a
clean soft cloth until they
are polished to a shine.

THE MAN AND
THE SUIT
A
suit says a lot about a man. It gives
clues to his profession, his wealth and
his social status, and for this reason
quality is king. Like anything designed
to impress, quality fabrication and
workmanship are priceless.
You can bet investing in a good suit will pay dividends,
because unlike other fashion trends, suiting styles are
not necessarily unique to each passing season. Yes,
distinct styles of suits feature more prominently from
year to year, but considering the suit is the uniform of
the working man, it’s safe to say that when amortised
over its lifespan, the money spent on a quality suit is
extremely good value.
A good suit should have both classic and masculine
qualities that reflect the chic of the 1930s and the flair
of the 1960s. And although the single-breasted style
will never date, the cut can give away a suits age. The
three key silhouette elements of this season’s suit are
broad shoulders, a nipped waist and slim trousers,
implying an athletic physique.
To break it down even further, the most popular cuts
are the ‘sleek cut’ and the ‘confident cut’.
Given new life by Don Draper in the TV show Mad
Men, the ‘sleek cut’ is for the man who likes to wear
his suit with restraint and an air of ambiguity. There’s
no doubt it’s impeccably made, usually in dark fabrics,
and unfussy in the details; slim-medium sized notched
lapels, a top button which sits just on the navel and
a breast pocket to hold a simple pocket handkerchief.
On the other hand the
‘confident cut’ speaks
volumes through the
somewhat overt use of
details. Peaked lapels,
and a distinct 1970s feel
through the use of more
flamboyant fabric choices
appeal to the gent who
doesn’t mind standing
out from the crowd.
Another suit making a
revival is the doublebreasted suit. Made
popular by stylish 1960s
Hollywood icon Carey
Grant, the doublebreasted cut is once
again enjoying favour
in the male world of
business fashion. In
fact, it’s a younger wave
of suave men who are
bringing back tradition
in their own stylish way.
While the style may be
retro, the cut must be
modern to bring it into
the now. When shopping
for a double-breasted
suit ask for the ‘Kent
cut’, named after Prince
WELL SUITED
A selection of styles from Herringbone
George, Duke of Kent, and characterised by a longer
lapel line that extends into the waist. For a timeless
fit, visit Argy’s Tailoring & Alterations at Chifley
Plaza for bespoke service that only a professional
tailor can offer.
A good suit should
have both classic and
masculine qualities.
Depending on how
often you wear it, as
a general rule, a suit
should not be dry
cleaned more than 1–2
times a year, as the
chemicals used will
cause the colour to fade
and affect its integrity.
Instead, Maurice Dry
Cleaners of Chifley Plaza
suggests to remove
wrinkles and restore
your suit’s appearance
by asking your dry
cleaner to press it.
Similarly, hanging your
suit outside to air on
a cool day will remove
smoky and musty smells.
To preserve your suit
for longer, hang it on a
sturdy hanger with wide
spread arms and store
it in a fabric suit bag
which will allow the suit
to breathe.
THE ECLECTIC
THE SUAVE
THE CLASSIC
Light-coloured fabrics and check patterns add
personality to single-breasted suiting styles.
Take inspiration from the runway and add flourish
with a contrasting jewel-toned polka-dot bow-tie
and stylish pocket handkerchief for a
point of difference guaranteed to set you apart
from a room full of suits.
Look for smart unobtrusive details like a double
pocket, top stitching and luxe lining to give a classic
navy suit a subtle edge. A smart light-blue shirt
and red and navy striped tie complete the look with
confidence. Leaving the last button undone is
a common practice for ease of movement and to
ensure proper drape of the jacket.
Designed to accentuate the v-shape of a well
worked body, this style of suit heightens
the masculine form and works just as well in
dark-coloured fabrics as it does in light.
To ensure the silhouette is modern, the jacket
should skim the body and the shoulders
should be soft and tailored.

This week’s hottest news
C
elebrating her first Mother’s
Day with her four-month-old
son, Flynn, this weekend,
super-glam mum Miranda
Kerr, 28, has made no secret
of how much she is loving
being a mother. The model talks exclusively
to OK! about going back to work, the precious
advice she got from her own mum and the
secret language she and Flynn share…
Of being a mum,
the supermodel
says, ‘It has given
my life a whole
new purpose’
What does motherhood mean to you?
Becoming a mother is one of the most magical
experiences I have ever had. It has made me
appreciate the beauty in the circle of life and
given me a whole new definition of love.
What’s the best thing about being a mum?
Every day brings something new, and I love
watching Flynn’s personality evolve.
What’s surprised you the most?
How intelligent our bodies are and how
energetically connected you are to your child.
I wake up as soon as Flynn opens his eyes!
What’s that one little thing that Flynn does
that always makes you smile?
When he shows me his adorable smile
and hearing his cute laugh. I love watching
all his beautiful little expressions while
he is talking to me in a language only
he can really understand.
INTERVIEW BY ROSIE McKAY ADDITIONAL TEXT BY MARTA JARY PHOTOGRAPHS BY BIG, SNAPPER
What was the best advice your mum,
Therese, ever gave you?
Trust yourself and your instincts. Remember
that every baby is different.
In what way has motherhood exceeded
your expectations?
I don’t think you can ever truly know
what to expect, but I could never have
imagined the feelings I have for my child
or the new-found strength I have discovered
within myself as a result of giving birth.
I think once you do that, you realise you
can really achieve anything!
In light of your recent return to the
catwalk, how do you plan to juggle
motherhood with work?
I’m blessed to have the support of my partner
[actor Orlando Bloom], and Flynn is so
amazing I can bring him to work. It’s also
about prioritising and managing my time
around his schedule.
What is your advice for first-time mums?
Make your own rules and trust in your ability
to be a mother.

The world’s largest diet study has found
that a high-protein/low-GI diet is the key
to staying trim. The overweight participants
of the study had all lost an average of 11kg
before being assigned one of five diets
for six months. After that period, it was
revealed that out of the 773 participants,
only those who were following the highprotein/low-GI diet – which included 3-4
serves of vegies and 2-3 serves of fruit a day,
meat and chicken at least 2-3 times a week,
as well as oily fish, pulses and wholegrain
breads – continued to lose weight. The
other participants following either a
low-protein/high-GI diet, a low-protein/
low-GI diet, a high-protein/high-GI diet or
a controlled diet, which followed dietary
guidelines, ended up gaining weight.

IS STRENGTH TRAINING JUST FOR
YOUNG WOMEN?
If you don’t use it, you lose it! Strength training is essential to
keep your body functioning at its best and is recommended for
women of all ages.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF
STRENGTH TRAINING?
Aside from the physical benefits of being toned, strength training
can also help to improve posture, reduce the risk of osteoporosis,
diabetes and heart disease, increase energy levels, abdominal strength
and bone mineral content, whilst strengthening the bones, ligaments
and tendons, and reducing the risk of injury.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED
TO EXERCISE?
It only takes 30 minutes a week of compound strength training with
a Personal Trainer to get results and keep you feeling young,
strong and confident - perfect for the average time-poor woman!
And remember, your muscles need recovery time between sessions.
Depending on the intensity of your strength training session, your
muscles will require up to six days for full recovery.
Visit Fernwood Women’s Health Club at Kellicar Road to learn
more about the range of exercise programs and classes available.

FIT N FAST
Fit n Fast have
shared their expert
health and fitness
knowledge to help
solve some of the
most common diet
and exercise myths.
MYTH BUSTED!
DIET AND EXERCISE
MYTH #1
Crunches will get rid of your
belly fat.
Unfortunately you can’t pick and
choose areas where you’d like
to burn fat, it is equally burnt
across your body. In order to burn
fat, you should create a workout
that includes both cardiovascular
and strength training elements.
DIET AND EXERCISE
MYTH #2
Never eat before a workout.
Fuel from food and fluids is required
to provide the energy for your
muscles to work efficiently, even
if you are doing an early morning
workout. Try eating a small meal or
snack one to three hours prior to
exercise. Eat some fruit, yoghurt, or
whole wheat toast.
DIET AND EXERCISE
MYTH #3
Not eating is the best way to
lose weight.
Having a healthy diet with five good
meals per day and moving more will
help you lose weight and maintain
the lean muscle mass needed to boost
metabolism. People often believe the
diet and exercise myth that they must
take drastic measures to lose weight,
such as eating less than 1200 calories
per day, but such diets usually do not
provide adequate fuel for the body
and will slow metabolism.

being and learn more about the
range of Fit n Fast exercise programs,

HEADER
Australia is renowned for producing and
exporting the world’s highest quality woollen fibre;
Merino Wool – an achievement owing to the
hard work of John and Elizabeth Macarthur who
pioneered the Australian Wool Industry, right
here in the Macarthur area. In 1793, only three
years after migrating from England to Australia,
the Governor of New South Wales gave
John Macarthur his first 100 acres of land, which
he successfully cultivated. In 1796 John
purchased his first Merino sheep, eventually
growing his flock to over 4,000, resulting in
international sales and the start of the Australian
Wool Industry we know today. This winter the
Macarthur family’s legacy lives on in the local
area and in the chic woollen pieces that form
the foundation of the perfect 2012 winter wardrobe;
think cosy knits, tailored trousers and jackets
with warm scarves.

Betrothal rings, or engagement rings as we now know them, were
first used during Roman times and not reintroduced to the Western
world until 13th century. In fact, the Archduke Maximilian of
Austria’s proposal to Mary of Burgundy in 1477 is believed to be the
first noted use of a diamond ring to signify engagement – a tradition
still alive today. These days we are so spoilt for choice, with brilliant
stones, classic gold or platinum, all perfect ways to forever mark a
momentous occasion.
