Tiffany & Co. adds koalainspired designs to its Save The Wild collection

Since its founding in 1837, Tiffany & Co. has championed artistry steeped in reverence for the natural world. Owing a debt for both the inspiration and materials that give form to their iconic designs, the brand formalised their love for Mother Earth in 2017 by launching their Save The Wild collection in collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Network, or WCN. The network’s mission is to protect endangered species by investing in initiatives that bring critical support to wildlife and ecosystems on the brink. All of the proceeds from the Save The Wild collection go directly to the WCN, and to date Tiffany & Co. has proudly donated over $10 million in support of their efforts.

Tiffany & Co. are no strangers to causes dear to the Australian heart, having previously thrown their support behind The Sapphire Project, an Australianbased oceanic conservation initiative. So it should come as no surprise that the Save The Wild collection is expanding to include one of our most beloved mascots, the koala.

Previously centred around African species, they’re broadening their range with the announcement of the Koala Brooch, an Australia-exclusive design that aims to raise much needed funds for rapid response initiatives and habitat restoration.

The design sheds light on the dire circumstances of arguably our most charismatic creature. The sad reality is that our native koala population has long been in decline, diminishing by two thirds over the past twenty years.

Compounding issues caused by habitat loss, and the catastrophic bushfires of 2020 put an already vulnerable species into free-fall. Aside from being well-loved native animals, koalas have a crucial role to play in promoting bush regeneration and biodiversity. To lose our wild population would prove devastating.

This addition to the Save The Wild collection is the current focus of Tiffany & Co’s. charitable work down under. Available at a range of prices, it boasts 18 karat white gold, an ornate splash of diamonds, and a sterling silver charm.

How to support our friends in the bush? From this month, July 2021, the Koala Brooch will be available at all Tiffany & Co. boutiques and on the Tiffany & Co. website. All funds raised will support the Wildlife Conservation Network’s deepening investment in the koala’s plight.

Josephine Skriver on how to do denim like a ’90s supermodel

PAGE 29

HP MAGAZINE

FASHION

“These days, I’ve been loving a flirty matching skirt set or a statement mini dress,” she says. “I just wore a sequin mini with feathered sleeves and was absolutely obsessed.”

Only fitting then, that Skriver now finds herself the face of Ksubi’s latest denim style, the Brooklyn jean. High-waisted, slightly tapered, and all-American—for Skriver, the silhouette embodies the homegrown label’s core sartorial tenets, founded on the pursuit of effortless luxury.

“I love that it can be dressed up with a heel or paired down with a sneaker for any occasion,” she says. “Because I have such long legs, I’m always looking for jeans that fit right, and still feel flattering, versatile and timeless in their design.” “I’m obsessed with the Brooklyn jean because it has that perfect high-rise silhouette and pulls in at the waist, which gives a flattering fit across the butt—every girl’s dream!”

The somewhat vintage shape also means that Skriver is one piece closer to completing her ’90s supermodel-inspired wardrobe. Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista—voluminous-haired, tank-top-toting, denim-donning models, whose aesthetic has long been the Big Apple of Skriver’s eye. “I’ve always been drawn to the iconic ’90s supermodels,” Skriver shares, “whether I’m on the runway, at a red carpet, or just hanging out in an off-duty look. That’s my primary source of inspiration!”

But as perfect as the Brooklyn jean both looked and felt, Skriver wanted to put it to the ultimate test: performance. And so, for Ksubi’s campaign, she enlisted the help of celebrity stylist Maeve Reilly, to see if the style could truly work for all occasions. The first challenge, incorporating the denim for a fashion week casting, saw Skriver in her home territory. A cropped leather jacket, black mules, and light-wash version of the Brooklyn later, and she was ready to get down to business.

A date night saw the outerwear substituted for a leather corset, while a trip to Miami Art Basel required a lighter touch—an oversized beige blazer, and a white tee and sneakers. A movie premiere? Throw on an avocado-green statement coat. A late-night show? A bodysuit will do the trick.

“I’m really into pairing baggy denim with a bucket hat,” she says, “or an amazing pair of sneakers.”

Architects plan world's second-tallest tower in Russia

PAGE 55

HP MAGAZINE

ARCHITECTURE

A Scottish architecture firm has released plans for the second-tallest skyscraper in the world to be built in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The Lakhta Center II will stand at 703 meters (2,306 feet), while the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, measures 828 meters (2,717 feet), according to a press release from architects Kettle Collective.

However, the planned skyscraper will house the highest occupied floor and viewing gallery in the world at 590 meters (1,936 feet).

By way of comparison, the current second-tallest building is the Shanghai Tower, at 632 meters (2,073 feet). The Shard in London measures 310 meters (1,017 feet).

The Lakhta Center II will stand on the outskirts of St. Petersburg next to the original Lakhta Center, which is the tallest building in Europe at 462 meters (1,516 feet) tall and houses the headquarters of energy company Gazprom.

Tony Kettle is design lead on the project, and also designed the Lakhta Center during his time at architectural firm RMJM. "The new Lakhta Center will be a template of sustainable design for global high-rise projects," said Kettle in the press release.

"It will have the best in class low energy design and a mix of uses that will create a vertical atrium space with a vibrant centre as the heart for this new business district."

The Lakhta Center II will feature office space, accommodation and relaxation spaces over 150 floors.

ARCHITECTURE

"The design is both aesthetic and functional as it will reduce considerable wind forces that will impact the structure, in turn reducing the size of structural elements required within the building," added Kettle.

"This is a hugely significant partnership for our studio and has come at a time of considerable global challenge, not just for Kettle Collective but for our industry as we navigate the impact of the pandemic," said Kettle's managing director Colin Bone.

The original Lakhta Center was St. Petersburg's first "supertall" building (one measuring 300 meters or above).

The structure is now the northernmost skyscraper in the world, according to its developers.

The 87-story tower twists a full 90 degrees from its foundation to its top, like a winding needle. This makes it one of the world's tallest examples of a "twisted" skyscraper design.

Little Simz Takes Us On A Deep Dive Into Her Most Personal, Painful Album Yet

PAGE 59

HP MAGAZINE

MUSIC

“I wanted to turn it inward a lot more,” says Little Simz, about her upcoming 19-track album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert. Although to begin with, she had no set vision of what she would create, the title came to her early on. “I started asking myself questions like, ‘How do I describe myself?’ and it’s like, yeah, definitely an introvert.” Although common, in the music industry it sticks out, because “you’re kind of expected to have this extroverted persona, because you’re on stage or you’re in front of a camera,” “People think because you’re introverted, you’re shy, or you’re not confident or know how to speak up for yourself. It’s like no, no, no, I can definitely do that. I’m just naturally not the loudest in the room, but that definitely doesn’t mean I don’t know how to voice my opinion.” The first song, “Introvert”, represents the tensions between that perception and the reality, where “just based off the title, you wouldn’t expect it to be so musically dense, so huge, and so cinematic”, she explains. “So just playing on that as well, like, nah, I got powers, bro, I’ve got strengths. It comes through in these ways; I channel it through my art.”

Although Simz started the project in LA, her vision really came together back home in London. She listened to foregone greats like Nina Simone, John Coltrane, and Billie Holiday throughout, “just studying what makes a classic album and why these albums stand the test of time”, she says. “I didn’t get the feeling that they were trying to chase commercial success, or they were trying to get a hit song, it just felt like they were just following their spirit… It’s never gonna sound like those artists because I’m not them, I’m me, but I know how to follow my spirit and that’s gonna take me somewhere.”

“Woman” was one of the first tracks to fall into place. “I had one line for time, just: ‘Naija women got the melanin dripping, L-O-N-D-O-N.’” When she revisited it later, it “just started flowing”, she smiles. “I thought, this is such a nice way to share my appreciation for women, celebrate them, and it’s just a love letter.” A pushback against the voices that pit women against each other, “and then once your time is up, it’s like the next person got to come through. I don’t agree with that. I think we can all exist in different spaces and still be on top of our game. So, let’s not wait for them to tell us that, let’s do it here, give each other our flowers.”

“As much as the song’s about him, it’s about me. I don’t think he’d listen to the song, to be honest. I don’t know if he bangs my music like that. So he might not catch on to it. And that’s also fine, do you know what I mean? It’s not that I’m writing this for you to hear. It’s just me saying how I feel if I ever did want to talk to him – I probably did – I’d just play him that song, you know? And yeah, I feel good about it.” It’s family, in the end, that she sees as the source of her success, a prosperity she revels in in delightfully braggadocious songs like “Rollin Stone”, where she raps about trips to São Paulo, suits tailored by Gucci and wearing Alaïa at European fashion weeks. Her Muslim mother, “ever since I can remember prayed five times a day. Looking at my life now is like, rah, must really be a result of these prayers.” Her mum “broke it down: ‘It’s like, five times a day, every day, I turn to the sun and I say thank you.’ Imagine you continue to say thank you, thank you, thank you? The amount of blessings you’ll continue to receive because you’re showing gratitude and appreciation. Even though my mum’s struggled and she’s lived a hard life, I feel like she’s seeing these things come back in the form of my success. So it’s just beautiful to watch that unravel itself, you know?”

Looking to shake up your skincare routine? This iconic exfoliant will do just that

BEAUTY

My skin’s neither problematic nor pimple-free, it’s not overly sensitive nor is it completely cooperative. The fact is, my complexion is rather run-of-the-mill—when I break out, my blemishes remain considerably contained, and changes in season don’t drastically alter my daily skincare routine.

While my skin’s ability to adapt to change is most definitely not something I’m complaining about, it does mean I often struggle to observe any overly apparent differences in my complexion when trialling new products. With that being said, when I tapped Alpha-H’s Liquid Gold into my evening regimen, that notion was put to the test.

Yes, Liquid Gold has a cult following—with one bottle reportedly sold every two minutes—but cult followings don’t always translate into results worthy of the hype these products manage to muster. Thankfully, that was not the case with this crueltyfree, Australian-made chemical exfoliant.

Shop now: Alpha-H Liquid Gold, $60 from Sephora Liquid Gold not only lived up to its rather high expectations, but also proved to be one of the only products that’s had the ability to shake up my skincare routine in recent months. Yes, you read that correctly. After only a handful of uses, my tired complexion looked visibly brighter and quite frankly, far more lively. Was the fact that I used the lauded product in conjunction with the brand’s Balancing Cleanser and Micro Super Scrub what helped the exfoliant manage to actually refine my skin tone? Or was Liquid Gold’s ability to work 5% Glycolic Acid (complete with a unique low-pH delivery system) into the deeper layer of my skin to thank for the product’s success? Your guess is as good as mine.

Shop now: Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser, $44 from Sephora Fast-forward four months and Liquid Gold is now a firm step in my sacred skincare routine. For the best results, begin by introducing the exfoliant into your own evening regimen just once per week, before graduating to between two and three times per week. As for how to apply the light liquid, it’s advised you use four to five drops after cleaning, which can be dabbed across your face with a cotton pad. Yes, it’s that easy.

If you’re wondering whether the aforementioned cleanser and scrub are also worth the investment, my answer is yes. The former is a non-foaming lotion that’s gentle yet able to remove all traces of make-up—without stripping your skin. And the latter utilises eco-friendly and biodegradable granules of bamboo stem extract and 12% Glycolic Acid to revitalise your complexion. Seriously, what’s not to love?
