“STYLE is a place we go purely for pleasure and to leave the repetition of our daily lives behind us,” writes Editor Ashley Nolan. “We have your recipe for a spring full of happiness and the occasional indulgence – now all that’s left to do is sit back and enjoy.”
Our two covers evoke the feeling of spring luxury. Our fashion cover celebrates all things glam with bold, high-fashion textures and shapes, while our home cover showcases an opulent apartment that has undergone a beautiful revamp.
DESIGN
Immerse yourself in beautiful abodes around the world, from a 1970s Italian apartment dripping in jewel tones, to a mid-century artist haven inspired by Japanese minimalism. We sit down with Bec Snelling to hear the story behind Snelling Studio, get the latest report on spring fabric trends and meet the talented creative behind Mystery Creek Ceramics.
Get inspired with beautiful table settings and lush new-season fabrics and wallpapers, discover gorgeous outdoor furniture from the Milan, and fall in love with the timeless interiors by legendary designer Jean-Louis Denoit.
CULTURE

Discover the intriguing light sculptures of Agnès Debizet, see how costumer designer Nic Smillie brings characters to life, and uncover the hidden treasures by Koloa Jewellery.

Pop-up dining is on the agenda, as we meet the innovative chefs rethinking the restaurant model, and we say ‘bonjour’ to Auckland’s stunning new French bistro, Origine. We also hit the road in the Polestar 2 with Deadly Ponies’ founder Liam Bowden.
