Australian
ADVANCED STYLE
The best things are built to last. For this editorial, we set out to capture the essence of Australia in fashion, not as a cliché but as a feeling woven into clothing. The textures of natural fibres, the earthy tones of the landscape, the vibrant Aussie people behind the businesses and brands.
At the heart of the shoot is an Australian icon: Akubra. For more than a century, Akubra hats have been part of the Australian story, worn by stockmen, adventurers, musicians and everyday Australians who value practicality as much as character. Each hat carries with it a sense of place — a reminder that fashion, at its best, reflects the land and the people who wear it.
The studio setting is simple but that’s the point: Australian style has never needed excess. It lives in the detail - the tilt of an Akubra, the roll of a sleeve, the confidence of clothes designed to be worn, not just admired.

Jeanie Sculptural top in chocolate from Wacker Clothing Company, wackerclothingcompany.com.au
14k White Gold drop earrings with diamond highlights featuring Sleek Boulder Opal.
“The Winterlarkin Pendant” - 18k White Gold Pendant featuring 8.04ct Queensland Boulder Opal and 64 Diamonds, with 45cm 18k White Gold snake chain from Opals Down Under, 5494 5400
Affectionately named “Winterlarkin”, this stunning 18k White Gold Boulder Opal Pendant was designed and created by Swiss-born jeweller Peter Baer in 2007.
Featuring 64 diamonds, the design is based on a town in Switzerland named Interlarkin, that is positioned between two lakes. The opal captures the colour of the lakes, while the diamonds symbolise the winter snow, emphasising the pristine scenery the township cherishes.
Released from the rough, carefully shaped, and polished to perfection. It's rare, it's precious and utterly unique. There will never be another one like it. We know that what we do is something very special because there is nothing quite like the moment when an opal captures your heart.
