We bid farewell to the last of the balmy summer evenings and coast into the crisp coolness of autumn where we do the rounds and bring you the best of the best on what’s buzzing in our fair city. We find our ‘sole’ mate and take to the budding laneways and under-the-radar hotspots blooming in the central city, plus we chat to the talent behind some of the emerging developments including the ‘Three Market-teers’, Mike Percasky, Kris Inglis and Richard Peebles the brains behind Riverside Market. Kiwi songstress Theia gives us the low-down on her life happenings, as does our cover star Bryan Adams. Ballantynes’ Emerging Designer Winner Millie Pux-Askew talks to us about her new collection and inspo behind her brand, as does Deanna Didovich, creative director of New Zealand fashion powerhouse RUBY. We profile our very own resident Account Manager Derek Thorp about his awesome new biz Bespoked Cycles and throw things waaaay back by giving a nod to the wave of nostalgia sweeping the world, rounding up all the trends from the 80s and 90s that are making a fierce comeback. Plus we toast the rave days and chat with the lads who are bringing the noise (of the techno variety) back to the city. We focus on our mind, body and health by shining a light on the wealth of experts whose expertise can help on your journey to wellness, and take a look at a transformation of another kind – that of the Town Hall, through the creative mind and lens of Olivia Spencer-Bower. Our wanderlust bug is at an all-time high when we live vicariously through travel blogger Justine Tyerman who escapes to the exotic wonderland of Morocco. And of course, we do the hard yards and highlight the city’s crème de la crème of cuisine, couture and culture.
Enjoy!
