We’re setting goals and aiming high in the new ‘Ambition’ issue of Fashion Quarterly. To inspire your autumn wardrobe, we explore the biggest trends of the season so far: bringing you bows, buttery yellows, and bubble hems aplenty. In our Trending section, cover star Zippora Seven shares her story of success as a Kiwi model in New York, and further in, we speak with nine of Aotearoa’s leading ladies on being their own boss. Plus, we tell you the new local designers to keep on your radar, and take a look inside the stylish wardrobe of Faradays’ head of brand, Amelia Haysom. Our Beauty section offers a plethora of inspiration for the creatively-minded, starting with a recap of our favourite runway beauty looks of late. The FQ team gives Shark styling tools a trial run, we give you the low down on red carpet tweakments, and our editor in chief reveals whether Em Face is worth the money. In our Life and Culture section, FQ’s digital editor Louise Dunn delves deep into the anti-perfect styling trend, Fluidform’s Kirsten King shows us how to supercharge our workouts, and we tell you where to sup, shop, and stay this season. While in On Top, Nadine Rubin Nathan investigates whether ADHD is different in women. To close off our issue with a bit of wanderlust, FQ’s Sarah Murray takes an idyllic trip down south to Flockhill Lodge, our editorial assistant Amberley Colby recounts her journey to the Maldives, and we tell you where to staycay if you’re seeking a bit of uninterrupted downtime.
