As we look ahead to summer and the fresh start a new year presents, we do so with promise and purpose, and with plans to wholeheartedly embrace the possibility of brighter days just over the horizon.
Within our Summer Issue, covered by actress/model-turned-entrepreneur Maddison Brown, the focus falls on ordinary people achieving extraordinary things — highlighting just how much life there is to be lived just past the edge your comfort zone.

Beyond an illuminating interview with Maddison, which offers insight into the star’s decision to take a considered side-step from Hollywood’s spotlight in favour of the freedom and unbridled sense of purpose her sunscreen and skincare brand affords her, the issue features an exclusive conversation with world-renowned shark scientist, environmentalist, and New Zealand’s very own ‘Shark Man’, Riley Elliott, alongside an inspiring interview with young entrepreneur Izzy Whitley, who has built a 40-million dollar company from the ground up, overcoming a tremendous amount of adversity to do so. The individuals on these pages show just how much there is to be gained from pursuing your passion, embracing change, and being unafraid to create a life — and career — on your own terms.
In this issue, we also offer an extensive edit of everything worth enjoying across the summer, and all of the inspiration you need for the season ahead. From an overview of the exceptional happenings in the city across the coming months — from hospitality to entertainment and more, to all of the best beach reads and culture worth engaging in. Consider this your summer bible.
We also have a comprehensive gift guide, brimming with Denizen-approved gifting ideas for all, and, as always, an all-encompassing overview of the trends worth knowing. From design to fashion, wellbeing, gastronomy, travel, and everything in-between, we round up the new and noteworthy pieces to add to your homes and wardrobes, and the destinations worth adding to your wanderlust lists for 2025.
Our Summer Issue also heralds the launch of the Denizen Little Black Book — a curated, exclusive guide to the finest talent and most trusted names across a range of industries. A long-time authority on the art of living well, Denizen is perfectly primed to launch this resource as a go-to guide, curated with discernment, to support the Denizens of Auckland in seeking out the best operators in our fine city.
If nothing else, we hope that in this issue (ideally poured over on a beach somewhere), you find something that inspires you to embrace the new horizons that await in 2025.
