This winter, Fashion Quarterly looks at fashion through a wider lens, one that reflects what’s happening both on the runway and in our own backyards. Inside, you’ll find our edit of 231 styling cues for the season ahead — from boots to investment coats.

We also decode what’s next, fresh off the runways at Australian Fashion Week, where we saw polka dots, sheer, and yes, even more tailoring. Closer to home, Jessica-Belle Greer steps beyond the main centres to explore the future of regional fashion and Carolyn Enting looks into the shift to thrifting and why brands such as Kowtow and Ruby are embedding sustainability into their DNA. 

Inside this issue you’ll also find FQ Mini — a 20-page section created with mums (and their little ones) in mind. From cyber safety and investing in your child’s future to pint-sized trend pages and gift guides, it’s full of ideas and inspiration. We’re also proud to feature a photographic essay from Paris-based photographer Priscillia Saada’s book MOONS, which offers a raw and refreshingly honest take on motherhood.

In our beauty pages, we break down the skincare, hair and make-up trends you’ll be seeing everywhere this winter and the FQ team reveal the beauty lessons our mums taught us.

Rounding out the issue, we discover what drives five women at the top of their game in their chosen professions and speak to Tāmaki Makaurau-based author Kaarina Parker about her highly anticipated debut novel, Fulvia. Plus, Natalia Didovich takes us with her as she discovers her roots on the sun-soaked Croatian island of Hvar.

Read all that, and so much more in Fashion Quarterly’s winter issue—on sale now!
