FORCE OF NATURE
EDITOR'S letter
My two girls, aged 14 and 15, shop for fashion very differ-ently to how I did as a teenager. Likewise, if they want a new outfit for a party (which they always do), 90 per cent of the time they'll hire it. And they'll return the favour. If the aim is tackling mindless consumption, will this new trend mean we have even less regard for clothes in the future? My girls aren't emotionally invested in a single item in their wardrobes. We're in the midst of a revolution, in which it's no longer so cool to buy what we don't need, and this is problematic for the fashion industry, which relies on new collections to stay in business. However, many designers are addressing the issue in their own way. Sustainability is front ofmind, particularlywith the current-season collections. Nature is the most compelling theme in fashion right now. And old suddenly feels fresh again. Take Miu Miu, for example. Many of the clothes in the S/S 2020 collection have a repurposed, vintage feel. At Celine, we saw an emphasis on classic pieces — those you want to invest in and wear forever. Even upcycled textiles (at Alexander McQueen) and organic cottons (at Marni) have gone decidedly luxe. And there's the handcrafted pieces created with emotion
and to be cherished for life such as those at Dior. Cover star Gisele Bundchen is a modelling icon who takes sustainability and environmentalism incredibly seriously, so the Brazilian beauty was the obvious choice to front our nature issue. These days she's a passionate eco-activist, telling us she wants this to be her enduring legacy. Her advice on how to turn the pain of our tragic bushfires into something positive is par-ticularly inspiring; read the full interview on page 78. Another serious issue we need to unite against and talk trans-parently about is ovarian cancer. Last month, Aussie design duo Camilla Freeman-Topper and Marc Freeman asked me to be part of a group of women in a campaign called "Ovaries. Talk about them". Ovarian cancer has minimal warning signs, no early detection test, limited research and support funding and no cure; once it is diagnosed, it's often too late. Camilla and Marc sadly lost their mother to the disease 28 years ago when they were 11 and 13, respectively. They believe developing an early detection test will be a game changer, so have created two limited-edition T-shirt collections under their eponymous brand, the proceeds of which will be donated to Ovarian Cancer Research UNSW Sydney. The T-shirt I'm wearing above is one of the first designs and features the words "POWER" and "SOLIDARITY", represent-ing the force for good of sharing our stories to create change. I hope you'll support the cause (the tees are available at Camilla and Marc stores and online; you are encouraged to post in sup-port using the Instagram handle @camillaandmarc and the hashtags #ovariestalkaboutthem and #powerandsolidarity) and help shine a much-needed spotlight on this disease. Enjoy the issue.
