For some, this has been a pandemic of opportunity. Melbourne fashion designer Helen O’Connor harnessed the moment. She is well known for creating Thurley – the much-loved label of flirty lace and luxurious flourishes, which was her baby for 15 years. O’Connor departed Thurley in 2019 and soon after, it was no longer.

I’d know – I’ve worn O’Connor’s designs all my life and went to the last sale, to ensure I acquired a final piece. O’Connor returns with a new ready-to-wear line alongside bridal, which, as women who have worn her previous creations will attest to, promises to be something special. ●

HOTEL S

Stay a while Swish hotels, including some freshly launched, deliver a holiday experience close to home. Wo r d s JA N E R O C CA

HYATT-CENTRIC

Melbourne’s newest hotel, Hyattcentric, is for those seeking modern chic. This is where curated hotel life leans into the best of the city’s laneway culture that inspired it.

It is the first of its kind in Australia, with the chic Hyatt-centric brand also operating in cities like New York

and Madrid. Celebrate local coffee at the ground-level Allie Lane and take in bay views at TOMA restaurant, whose dishes are inspired by the city’s culinary excellence. The infinity pool is a standout, as is the guest gym. Hyatt-centric is all about the bespoke point of difference. ● 25 Downie Street, Melbourne

W MELBOURNE

This hotel’s Soak It In Stay Later package includes a two-night stay with $150 hotel credit for in-room movies and dining options, and a bottle of wine on arrival. Make a point to book for the omakase dining experience at Warabi, the newly opened 37-seat restaurant in W Melbourne.

The pool here is selfie heaven. ● 408 Flinders Lane, Melbourne

MARRIOTT HOTEL DOCKLANDS

QUINCY HOTEL MELBOURNE

The Marriott Hotel Docklands has just opened, bringing with it a resortstyle, five-star flourish. The design

by DKO Architecture is inspired by its waterfront position, and yachts inform its curvaceous exterior.

It comes with a rooftop infinity pool and fabulous views of Melbourne.

There are four food spots here, including Archer’s for local produce and Sunset House – the best place to watch the sun go down.

Inspired by a chic south-east Asian aesthetic, the Quincy is all about bright modern furnishings and large beds. Interior colours of gold, red and blue tap into a positive mood. The rooms are compact yet filled with all you need. There are three restaurants in the hotel. Salted Egg is where you head for chilli scrambled eggs with crab meat, and Sing Sing chimes into bubble tea mania. The rooftop bar and pool is a drawcard.

There are also options for couples and friend stays, too, with $100 food vouchers and valet parking included.

Nobody does classic five-star like this elegant hotel renowned for its attentive service. Try the Executive Twin Suites with a riverside view and indulge in a decadent buffet dinner at Melba Restaurant or try the impressive high tea, which can also be delivered to your room.

The popular Chuan Spa is worth booking ahead of a stay.

COVER STORY

It’s a beautiful life Fashion designer Helen O’Connor has emerged with another label that reflects fresh optimism.

6

DOM A IN REV IEW

I

t took stepping away from the fashion industry for Melbourne designer Helen O’Connor to realise her life wasn’t complete without a creative process.

After 15 years at the helm of her trail-blazing international label Thurley, she walked away in 2019, a year before the brand went into administration, leaving behind an empire she built made of lace, peplum and modern bohemian silhouettes.

She’s back with another new label and a ready-towear line – Helen O’Connor Eclipse – that rides off the back of Helen O’Connor Bridal she launched in March last year. Eclipse leans on an ’80s nostalgia, and is statement dressing with clean lines.

In her collection, lace is replaced with dupion, Italian Lurex and jacquard, hand-dyed in Australia.

“I went with my gut designing this collection. My hand-draping is how I could distinguish myself from everyone in this field.”

“I needed to find a healing process after I left Thurley and didn’t think I’d start a new brand so soon,” O’Connor says.

There was no sabbatical to the other side of the world to find her purpose or a mountain retreat to switch off – instead, O’Connor threw herself into family life and just got on with it.

Together with her husband Trent Alexander, she found herself more present than ever. The days of a full-time nanny were long behind her (O’Connor was designing nine collections a year around the clock at the peak of Thurley when her son Lachie, now aged 4, was born).

Her daughter, now aged 17 months, has had a completely different experience of her mother’s work and home life juggle.

“When I started Thurley, I was young, hopeful and a rather naive university graduate,” O’Connor says. “Going into it this time around, I had my eyes wide open and was aware of how much it really takes to establish a brand and keep it going on your terms.”

A short stint at home saw her get “itchy fingers” and a keenness to start designing again.

“Bridal was a refuge for me and a way of keeping the craft alive,” she says.

“I wanted to bring the business back to Australia.

I was also working at a slower pace than I was used to. I went from designing 20 bridal dresses to 30 and then 40 to doing a photo shoot on Chelsea beach and posting the dresses to Instagram.

The response was fantastic.”

Designing collections around the clock wore her down, as did the pressure to expand Thurley collections at a rapid rate (the company was backed by powerbroker Pete Lew). Life felt like one big never-ending deadline. “I was always on the chase, and I couldn’t sustain myself at that pace,” she says.

Now the Helen O’Connor RTW collection is her rebirth – pitched to the cocktail and evening wear hour, and bridesmaids seeking a “wow” dress that won’t upstage the bride.

She’s tapped into a new way of delivering evening gowns where dupion is her queen, colour is brighter and bolder than ever, and elegant draping is her new signature.

“I went with my gut designing this collection,” she says. “My hand-draping is how I could distinguish myself from everyone in this field.

Buyers wanted cleaner lines, but I just can’t do ’90s Calvin Klein, so I found my own way of doing things that was reflective of me.”

O’Connor says she is all about bringing back the party dress – it’s her way of channelling optimism and hope.

The RTW collection is filled with pastel hues in limoncello and peppermint and bright pops of flamingo pink and emerald green, selling between $300 and $500 a dress.

“Everyone identifies me with lace,” O’Connor says, smiling. “But I don’t think people are ready for it just yet.”

With a focus on local manufacturing and keeping the crafts of beading, embellishment and handdyeing in Australia, O’Connor says consumers want transparency and to know they’re supporting Australian jobs.

Driving from her studio in Fitzroy to manufacturers in Tullamarine is now part of her daily grind – often with the kids in the back seat.

“I meet with the makers and am glad I could bring the production back to Australia,” O’Connor says. “Sending fashion items to China in a DHL express package is a soulless experience; knowing and seeing your makers is so much more nourishing.

It makes you appreciate what goes into a garment.”

So, what is O’Connor doing differently this time around?

Absolutely everything. “I had my second child in lockdown, and I can honestly say I don’t remember many milestones with Lachie because I was never around. I wasn’t present when I was home because I was always worried or stressed about work. It’s been an interesting comparison, and that’s been the biggest change in me,” she says.

A supportive husband has made her fashion reincarnation all the more reassuring.

“I adore my family life, but to balance me, I needed that connection to fashion. There was a part of me that was missing. Trent could see I wasn’t happy and knew how important it was for me.”

Prominent customers – including actor Sienna Miller, supermodel Miranda Kerr and film icon Michelle Pfeiffer – adored O’Connor’s past designs.

Although taking part in Fashion Week and celebrity endorsements play a part in a brand’s success, O’Connor has learnt not to burn herself out.

She plans to launch an accessories line down the track and has just signed a deal to distribute her range in the US via retailer BHLDN. “I’m one of those people who always try to people please everyone, and my husband reminds me to be true to myself,” she says.

“I always found a lot of pressure to design into every category and sell to everyone and found it hard to be a diverse, multifaceted brand. At the end of the day, it compromises your message and the essence of who you are.

“Right now, I’m back to square one. I am working with kids in tow, and it is what it is.” ● HELEN O’CONNOR ECLIPSE \ Collection launches March 2. Bridal is available now. ● helenoconnorbridal.com

BEAUTY Samantha Brett is changing the market

with her makeup-friendly sun protection spray.

Sunscreen queen SA M A N T H A B R E T T, F O U N D E R O F N A K E D S U N DAYS

Naked Sundays SPF Glow Bundle, $89.95. ● nakedsundays.com

fter spending two decades working as a breaking news TV reporter in Australia and New York, Samantha Brett is now making headlines of her own as the accidental beauty mogul.

The former journalist has hit the jackpot with her sunscreen and skincare label Naked Sundays.

Brett was working as a reporter at Sunrise – a gig she did for seven years – until her side hustle became a full-time job last year. Her investigative sixth sense led to her developing a range of products she couldn’t find on the shelves herself.

Her Sunrise role meant she was up at 5am and reporting outdoors until 3pm. It made her more aware about what the sun was doing to her skin.

“Being in the blazing sun meant there was no way I could put on sunscreen over and over again because I already had a face full of make-up for the camera. I had to keep on layering make-up for the camera, but the only SPF protection I had was when I applied the sunscreen at the start of my day,” Brett says.

The mother-of-one set out to find the sweet spot between a sunscreen and a skincare routine and developed her beauty brand after hours, often working until midnight to perfect her business plan.

You can apply her award-winning Naked Sundays SPF 50+ Mist as top-up sunscreen over make-up.

JA N E R O C CA

Naked Sundays launched in February last year and sold out quicker than Brett could replace items on shelves. She’s expanding the range with new products due at the end of February this year.

“It was a phenomenon that took off like wildfire and it was thanks to a handful of beauty influencers who tried the products and created the buzz. I wasn’t expecting it.”

According to the Melanoma Institute Australia, melanoma is the most common cause of cancer for Australians aged between 20 and 39 years old. It was enough to inspire Brett to pitch to the millennial category in a bid to change their habits around being sun-smart.

Brett began her journalism career at Channel 10, while studying at university, and moved to Manhattan to undertake an internship at Fox News in New York, aged 19. While there, she pitched a relationship column to The Sydney Morning Herald titled Sam in the City – tapping into the Sex and the City mania at the time. The column kept her busy for five years, and led to her writing six books.

“Life was full throttle,” she recalls.

“But I was so in love with journalism I moved back to Australia and started working in Wagga Wagga, Orange and then Hobart as a VJ for Sky News. I ended up at Sunrise and loved every minute.”

Now she feels her true calling has been realised.

“I felt everything fell into place with Naked Sundays. I had a purpose and I could use my skills from journalism to develop my brand,” she says. “When we first launched there was nothing out there that targeted the millennial generation.

“I have worked so hard all of my life working and writing books, I’m feeling like this is where I am meant to be.” ● ● nakedsundays.com

eing a celebrity doesn’t always mean what made you famous gives you the biggest thrill.

These Melbourne identities opened a new business during Melbourne’s early pandemic days and have found starting anew can be hugely rewarding.

Actor Olympia Valance, celebrity chef Shane Delia and Melbourne rock royalty Mick Harvey have turned their curious side hustles into full-time day gigs that are paying off.

TV star Valance temporarily swapped screen life in 2020 to launch a ready-to-drink canned beverage, Splash Vodka. It’s a pitch to those wanting fewer calories when they consume booze.

“I love that the gallery has become a place for like-minded individuals to come together.”

“I feel grateful I had this business to focus on and it keeps me busy in the background,” Valance says.

“Being unable to travel interstate for work … was hard, but I found something to do.”

She’s recruited model and presenter Kris Smith as a business partner and lined up distribution deals with Dan Murphy’s and BWS. Chef Shane Delia was unable to open the doors to his Maha restaurants in lockdown, but quickly found a way to bring quality restaurant meals to the table at home with his business Providoor, which is now also available in Sydney.

“It’s a model and service that customers want ongoingly,” says Delia, who plans to expand in Brisbane, too. Although he’s still focused on the Maha brand, Providoor has proved to be a success he wasn’t necessarily expecting.

“We work with our partners to scale their

businesses and focus on the opportunity that exists beyond bricks-and-mortar venues,” Delia says.

“The dining public want more and want it beyond lockdown. We are a marketing logistics platform for them to exist beyond their restaurant walls.”

Best known for forming The Boys Next Door, The Birthday Party and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey stopped touring when the pandemic hit and opened The One Star Lounge & Gallery in West Melbourne with partner Katrina Beale.

They have hosted exhibitions of art by Melbourneborn and LA-based Polly Borland and Nick Cave’s former teacher and respected Australian artist Jenny Watson.

Melbourne’s biggest rock names hang out and exhibit there, including Mick Turner (The Dirty Three), Kim Salmon and Stu Thomas from the

Surrealists. The gallery also hosts film nights and doubles as a small cafe and bar.

“I love that the gallery has become a place for like-minded individuals to come together. It’s also close to where I live and near my studio. The gallery has given me a chance to focus on something and stick around.” ●

HOUSE OF THE WEEK MALVERN EAST \ 14 GLENBROOK AVENUE 6

Just a few metres from Hedgeley Dene Gardens and the linear park that runs from there to Malvern Road, this home is in the heart of one of Melbourne’s blue-chip areas.

Birchwood was built in 1927 and is being sold for the first time in more than 20 years. With land of around 1274 square metres, six bedrooms, five living areas and two studies, the large home’s family credentials are superb.

Two bay windows with diamond leadlights, a rich collection of period detail and a deep garden give the facade period grandeur. The wide entry hall opens to the main bedroom on one side and, on the other, the connected formal and living and dining rooms, both with fireplaces and timber mantels.

At the rear of the building, the main living, dining and kitchen area extends the full width of the house and is warmed by an atmospheric firebox. The large kitchen has AEG appliances, ample storage and showcase cabinetry.

Double doors open to a wide, elevated deck looking out to the extensive rear garden. Plenty of room here for cricket or a kick of the footy.

An outstanding feature of this home, and one that makes it suitable for the largest family, is the separate two-storey building in the garden. As well as space for 10 cars, the ground floor includes a workshop, a two-post car hoist and storage. On the first floor, a large rumpus room, bedroom, study and bathroom make ideal teenager’s accommodation. This 100-square-metre area also has plumbing for a kitchenette, data connections and a security system. The workshop has three-phase power, data points and plumbing for compressed air.

The first floor of the main house has four bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, a bathroom, retreat and study nook.

A bay window in the front bedroom echoes those on the ground floor facade. In the basement of the home are a billiards room and cellar.

The house has excellent storage, hardwood and tiled floors, zoned ducted heating and cooling. It is close to government schools and several independents. Cafes, transport and shopping are nearby. ● BEVERLEY JOHANSON property@domainreview.com.au
