We all know spring heralds longer days and warmer weather but for many of us it also brings a fresh perspective, which, as editor in chief Sarah Murray writes in her ed’s letter gives a certain hopefulness. It’s that same sense of hope that underpins the latest issue of Fashion Quarterly with fresh new fashion editorials, trend pages, and insightful articles. Coined the ‘beauty’ issue it has an elongated beauty section (naturally) spanning 37 pages filled with spring beauty trends, treatments and tech. We explore the rise of refillables, blush blindness and the innovative beauty breakthroughs of 2024. Of course, the issue also delivers on fashion. In our trending section we’ve curated the top five trends of the season, must-have arm candy to sweeten your wardrobe, tips for mastering the art of ‘high/low’ dressing and we give you a roundup of the hottest new designers to watch out for and support. In the life and culture section you’ll find books to add to your nightstand, and an excerpt from Make it Make Sense - the debut book from the creators of media phenomenon Shit You Should Care About. Our On Top section gets down to business with 10 non-negotiables for your work wardrobe, singer Georgia Lines shares why the music festival SXSW opened doors for her and the role networking and collaboration played, and we ask whether wallets are becoming obsolete. If you’re planning a getaway let photographer Ruby Hamilton’s dreamy photo essay from her time in Greece (in our travel section) transport you to another place, or read about why luxury accommodation The Landing delivers more than just a weekend away.
