est REGULAR EDITORS LETTER
Editors Letter The colour theme for this issue could easily be indigo, as part of the trend that is sweeping the world, but for us the most obvious message that these pages convey is the hard work and tenacity of the creative women we’ve featured. From talented artist Cj Hendry, to fashion designer Shani Anderson, international model and artist Sasha Pivovarova, florist Fleur McLachlan and catering and event director Chyka Keebaugh, these talented and successful women relentlessly flex their creative muscle and share the result with the world. We count ourselves lucky to support them and share their work with you. Georgina Jeffries and Pip McCally of interior design firm Wonder are two creative women who’ve entered our orbit in the past 12 months. We invited them to guest edit our last issue of the year and share their fresh contemporary approach to design that we think you’ll love. Having fast developed a name for themselves as a design team known for creating spaces that are both considered and aesthetically timeless, Pip and Georgina are also the epitome of hard work and have all-encompassing passion for their craft. We hope these pages fill you with a sense of your own wonder and a drive to keep pushing yourselves forward.
Sian MacPherson Editor in Chief

Ancient crafts pared with contemporary patterns and new applications have seen a worldwide Indigo trend take hold. From the Shibori masters in Japan, to the recent revival of Africa’s ancient traditions of indigo dyeing led by artist Aboubakar Fofana, the current infatuation with indigo is ever-growing.

AT LARGE PHOTOGRAPHY Toby Scott | PRODUCTION Lynda Evans
What is irrefutably the most exciting thing about producing Est Magazine is discovering and sharing the work of talented creatives. Recently, South African born fine artist Cj Hendry stopped us in our tracks. We were captivated the moment we laid eyes on her Instagram feed - the only online portal for this Brisbane based artist, where her huge black and white renderings of made objects and curiosities are creating a frenzy amongst curators, collectors and international luxury brands alike.

The Write Stuff PHOTOGRAPHY Tara Pearce | STYLING Sian MacPherson & Chanelle McAuliffe
Yvette Caprioglio is a writer, creative communications strategist, Est Magazine contributor and our closet covet muse.
A lot of my work revolves around telling stories - mostly other people’s or products in a creative way. So it’s fitting that a lot of the pieces photographed here have a provenance and a bit of a story to them. They’ve been passed on to me by friends and family. I remember being interested in clothes when I was quite young - my grandmother had a great eye for interesting pieces as does my very stylish mother and she also has such a great aesthetic in her home. So I guess I’ve inherited some of that. I tend to dress in mainly dark colours, black (hey, it’s Melbourne) navy, grey. I buy mainly fewer but good classic things and add interesting bits along the way.
This painting was bought on a whim with my art director about 10 years ago and as you’d expect, he has a good eye. I love it. It’s by Baz Blakeney. It has been commented on by every single person that has ever entered my home.... enough said. The other lady jostling for position in this picture is my wire haired fox terrier, Arkie. She’s the business.

Beauty PHOTOGRAPHY Dana van Leeuwen STYLING Jessica Bouvy | WORDS Renske Schriemer
Photographer Dana van Leeuwen and her husband Dick van der Helm wanted to build a new house, but not one that looked like those in the mainstream development they saw in their neighbourhood. Instead, they aimed for something atypical and the result is stunning. A family home that plays with light and styles.

PHOTOGRAPHY Toby Scott | STYLING Sian MacPherson | WORDS Yvette Caprioglio
Fashion designer Shani Anderson’s house bears all the hallmarks of her well-travelled creative eye. The search for the perfect weekender saw Shani drive up and down the same stretch of road for years, hoping the right house would come up for sale. And it did, in the form of a 1960’s home on five acres in Main Ridge, Regional Victoria with stunning views of Bass Strait and the Morningtion Peninsula towards Portsea.
