We Travelled To Seoul To Attend L’ÉCOLE School Of Jewellery Art

Tanisha Angel — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 03:16:45 +0000

Last month, I jumped on a plane to Seoul to attend L’ÉCOLE School of Jewellery Arts. An initiative founded and solely supported by Van Cleef & Arpels, L’ÉCOLE was conceived with the intention of peeling back the covers on the shrouded world of high and fine jewellery, illuminating and elucidating the craftsmanship and culture surrounding its creation and place in society. Nestled within Bukchon, bordered by three palaces and a shrine, the almost Brutalist rectilinear concrete facade of Futura Seoul […]

This Winter, Tasmania Makes A Case For Embracing The Chill

Tanisha Angel — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 10:28:10 +0000

Customarily, travel during the winter months in Australia is designed to foster a sense of escapism — farewelling our island nation in pursuit of warmer climes and higher morales. However, Tasmania has slowly but surely been making the case for embracing rather than escaping winter. It started with Mona—the Museum of Old and New Art—but there’s more to the Apple Isle than David Walsh’s quirky vision of what constitutes art, with the east coast of Tasmania offering ample opportunity to […]

I Wore The Ultrahuman Ring Air For Five Months. Here’s My Honest Review

Tanisha Angel — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 06:02:39 +0000

I have a love hate relationship with wearable trackers. I love the data they provide, but I hate how ugly they look. As someone who writes about watches and jewellery on a regular basis, I positively recoil at the thought of someone thinking I actually like the way a smart watch looks on the wrist. While I do have a Fitbit (the Versa 4) which I almost obsessively check for my step count, I exclusively wear it on my ankle […]

Tanisha Angel — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 12:57:57 +0000

The world of high and fine jewellery has long been a guarded one, with wisdom and technical knowledge typically passed down to a select few. However, since its founding in 2012 under the aegis of Van Cleef & Arpels, L’ÉCOLE School of Jewellery Arts has worked to draw back the golden veil, elucidating the knowledge and culture surrounding jewellery and the jewellery industry with the general public. The initiative prides itself on its accessibility, providing hands-on lessons and courses as […]

This Historic Sandstone Cottage An Hour From Sydney Is The Ideal Winter Bolthole

An escape. As any consummate urbanite knows, the key to successful city living is to always have one — particularly come winter. Traditionally, the default prescription was to abandon ship altogether, fleeing overseas in pursuit of higher temperatures and reduced responsibilities. However, a subtle shift in perspective shines the light on the myriad winter escapes that don’t necessitate a shore change. One such bolthole making a case for leaning into an Australian winter is Simpson Cottage, a 150-year-old sandstone cottage […]

Amouage Love Hibiscus Distills The Essence Of Perfumery’s Most Mysterious Flower

Tanisha Angel — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 05:08:42 +0000

How do you capture a scent that doesn’t exist? Such was the creative conundrum surrounding the development of Love Hibiscus, the latest addition to Amouage’s Secret Garden collection. The Omani niche fragrance house conceived the Secret Garden collection a decade ago, exploring notions of contemporary femininity through olfactory pairings of floral and gourmand notes. For its latest outing, Renaud Salmon, chief creative officer at Amouage, drew upon both a contemporary and a core memory. The first being the hibiscus flowers […]

Four Seasons Tented Camp; Reverence For Creatures Great & Small

Tanisha Angel — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 06:05:36 +0000

Brucie didn’t have long to live. He flipped and floundered, gasping for water as we watched helplessly from the sidelines. Clutching insufficiently long sticks, we attempted to reach across the aquatic shrubs and flip the surprisingly dense lilypad he was struggling atop over, but our efforts proved ineffectual. Surrounded by air he could not breathe, we steeled ourselves against the inevitable and prepared to watch Brucie die, hoping his end would be mercifully quick. As we contemplated a last ditch […]

High jewellery, or haute joaillerie, is truly something to behold. Akin to the haute couture of the jewellery world, high jewellery caters to discerning, well-heeled clientele wishing to distinguish themselves from the masses. Utilising precious metals, diamonds, and precious and semi-precious coloured gemstones, high jewellery brands differentiate themselves through its impeccable craftsmanship, with master craftspeople employing intricate techniques such as plique-à-jour and grisaille enameling, gem setting, marquetry, and guilloché.

Swatch & Audemars Piguet Liberate The Royal Oak From The Wrist

Tanisha Angel — Wed, 13 May 2026 21:16:43 +0000

After a week of setting speculation in the watch world—and beyond—aligt and spurring denizens to send AI generators into overdrive attempting to come up with their own imagery of a plastic-clad Royal Oak, Swatch and Audemars Piguet have unveiled their collaboration, the Royal Pop. And no, it’s not a wristwatch. Circumventing the complete dilution of the Audemars Piguet DNA, the brand has adroitly steered away from creating a plastic Royal Oak knock-off wristwatch (early CasiOak adopters can breathe a sigh […]

17 Sneakers That Are More At Home Paired With A Suit Than On The Field

Tanisha Angel — Tue, 12 May 2026 12:36:11 +0000

The once opposing categories of dress shoes and sneakers have united, resulting in the rise of the elegant sneaker. Steering away from the sporty provenance of sneakers, luxury designers and fashion houses are applying their elevated design codes to the inherently comfortable shoes, resulting in sneakers that can take the place of oxfords, loafers, or derbies and don’t look out of place paired with a suit. How to wear sneakers with a suit Wearing sneakers with a suit has gradually […]
