EDITOR’S LETTER
It only seems like yesterday that I was sitting at my computer contemplating what to write, as Australia was experiencing one of its worst bushfire seasons on record. Now, once again, I’m struggling to find the words as we face a global health pandemic with COVID-19.
This is a difficult time for everyone as we face an unparalleled threat that has already changed how we go about our lives. Some of us may be lucky enough to be working from home, creating makeshift offices at dining tables and fielding conference calls while juggling homeschooling children or running a household. Here at Vogue Living, we feel particularly for our vibrant creative community, both local and global, made up of talented individuals and small businesses all now going through unprecedented challenges in extraordinary circumstances.
But while we are in the midst of this crisis, the Vogue Living team will continue to produce style and design content to help you feel inspired and hopefully offer some respite and escape — even if only for a few minutes — while we all do our part and #stayhome.
This issue is a celebration of the art of collaboration — how creativity brings people together with a common purpose, often with unexpected but incredibly rewarding results. Seeing it come together I’ve reflected on how working together to create — and having people who are driven by this same thinking — offers beacons of light in dark times.
Lastly, on behalf of the Vogue Living team, I want to thank all the frontline workers in healthcare and other essential services around the world selflessly giving up their days and nights to help others in need.
Let’s all stay safe, support each other and do our best to stay positive.
