As we leave what has been a lovely summer behind, we move into autumn with a sense, not of pessimism for the colder months ahead, but of promise, for what possibilities the middle of the year holds. In our highly-anticipated autumn issue, this idea of changing perspective and of being inspired comes through in the fascinating people we have interviewed — from our cover star, New York-based Kiwi artist Natasha Wright, whose métier has long focused on the female form, and whose star continues to rise in the highly-competitive New York art scene, to actor and director Rachel House, known for her impactful roles in some of the best films of our time, to a line-up of influential characters in local hospitality, who talk about how they have forged fruitful careers in what can be a misunderstood industry.
Elsewhere, we delve into the latest and greatest trends in fashion and design that you need to know for autumn, explore the iconic work of the Bouroullec brothers via their most recognisable furniture pieces, and speak with renowned designer Christopher Esber about his almost-15-year journey in fashion and what lies ahead.

In our Wellbeing section, alongside the new products and buzzwords you need to know about, we speak with Lukis Mac and Hellè Weston, a Kiwi couple, based in Los Angeles where they work with some of Hollywood’s biggest names and are spearheading an international breathwork movement via their company Owaken.
For escapism over the autumn months, look no further than our culture section, where we explore the best books, series, films and more to consume as the weather cools down. Or, for a more literal escapism, take inspiration from our Editor-in-chief, who surprised her family with a trip to one of Fiji’s most exclusive and exquisite destinations — Kokomo Private Island — and writes about her experience here.
All of that and so much more is to be found in the pages of our latest issue, out in all good newsagents and supermarkets now.
