Some say that the year truly begins in March, once the chaos and bustle of summer has died down, and we’ve settled into a daily rhythm and found a sense of focus. There’s merit in that train of thought. After all, finding focus in an increasingly restless world is no easy feat, and it takes time, effort, and continuous commitment.
In the pages of our Autumn Issue, the focus falls on those who have an unrelenting ability to hone in on and pursue a singular goal with resolve. From our stunning, wonderfully talented cover star, Morgana O’Reilly who, following a prolific, two-decade career, has landed her big break on the latest season of The White Lotus, to British poet Lucas Jones, whose rendering of language is inspiring a generation, to sailor Pete Burling’s relentless pursuit of excellence — to name a few — the success of the individuals within these pages, though their paths diverge, has been shaped by the same force. They are each committed to creating a life that motivates and inspires them, and our hope is that through reading their stories, you’ll feel inspired to do the same.
Elsewhere in the issue, we delve into the latest trends in design that you need to know for autumn — exploring the 70s redux across the interiors landscape and history’s most iconic sofas. We also speak with multidisciplinary designer Karim Rashid about his storied career and what lies ahead.
For anyone wanting to ensure their wardrobe remains seasonally sound, there is a raft of inspiration in our Coveted section, including an illuminating interview with Muse owner Olivia Vincent Healy, an overview of the season’s most covetable jewels, and a comprehensive look at the most important collections, trends and couture that will be dictating the aesthetic for the season ahead.
Our Gastronomy section sees our Editor-in-chief delve into the trends shaping the dining landscape, while our Wellbeing section looks at the grounding movement, this rise of sober curiosity, and the new products and buzzwords you need to know.
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 take, draw inspiration from our Escape section, this season featuring extraordinary boat journeys around the world, a reimagined luxury Fijian resort, and our Editor-in-chief’s incredible stay at the recently opened Ritz-Carlton in Melbourne.
From beginning to end, our autumn issue is brimming with creativity, innovation, and ingenuity. We hope that within its pages, you find the inspiration to go after what it is that you most desire — this season and beyond.
