Dolly’s Dream wants to put an end to bullying. When the Everett family lost their beloved daughter and sister to a vicious campaign of bullying, they wanted to prevent other families from the same grief. They founded Dolly’s Dream, an organisation focused on dismantling the culture of bullying and addressing its mental health impacts. Inspired by some of Dolly’s final words, “speak even when your voice shakes” the organisation’s powerful catch cry seeks to give victims the courage to speak out. Together, we can make a safer and more supportive community for today’s young people. May 10 is Do I ..read more

Fashion has been at the fore of news this week all over the world – whether you were lapping up the fashions from Monday’s Met Gala, or if you were lamenting about the frivolity of it all in the midst of so many global crises. Locally, there’s also plenty to take in this week for fashion industry insiders and aficionados alike – there are plenty of warehouse sales and sample sales happening across the country, new releases from brands and AFW to gear up for next week, too. For all the fashion moments and news you might have missed this week, read on…   Christopher Esber is hosting a sampl ..read more

We’ve all felt Mother Nature’s shift in recent weeks. So, what are the pieces we are turning to for this change of season? Why, you’ve come to the right place, darling. Find below the RUSSH teams’ trans-seasonal favourites and remember to stay hydrated!   Mia Steiber Digital Strategy Director & Associate Publisher My Avene Cicalfate for face and Avene XeraCalm for body are what’s getting my skin through the seasonal change. I’m not sure why, but my oily skin never manages to cope in the transition to cooler weather, and every year I have to swap to a very plain routine to calm my ski ..read more

For the last 24 hours, all we could replay on an endless loop was the video of Tyla and Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing, who personally shaped that full-length gown from The Met Gala into an after-party mini. One pair of scissors, a mega-pop star sensation, and the head of an atelier can put any feat to the test. Yet let it be known. But even before Tyla had donned the couture sands of Balmain, we’ve been following her style like a hawk. With a cogent eye for Y2K stylings and an abiding love for miniskirts, Tyla is an obvious ambassador for the Gen Z and the fond of midriff-baring ..read more

Ahh, Australian Fashion Week. The time has come once again, for us to head on down to Carriageworks and peruse the latest and greatest creative offerings from top notch fashion designers of the moment. Across the five days from May 13-17 – we will be seen running from show to show, snacks in hand; dumping our belongings into our Content Director, Elyssa’s car (a real one, thanks girl) and doing the utmost to be one with the chaos of it all. You may wonder what the RUSSH team has on hand for such a fabulous and frantic week. Well, we do have our list of essentials and we’re here to share. Scrol ..read more

Well, another Met Gala commencement has concluded. There was a surplus of florals, a sea of black suits, and some looks that sent us into a dizzying tailspin – twice. (Zendaya and Law Roach won’t settle for just one look – and why would they?) The hubbub has incited wars and tributes online. One common point that has repeatedly been flagged takes issue with the theme – and the lack of coherence to it.  Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion appeared to shutter to a halt for many of the attendees. Did anybody read the brief?  We certainly did. From the dress code, co-chairs and r ..read more

The first Monday in May has come around quickly, and this year’s Met Gala – themed Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion – is already underway. With the dress code set to be ‘The Garden of Time’, we’re intrigued to see how this is reinterpreted on the steps of the Met. While we have plenty of predictions in place for the Met Gala 2024 red carpet, we’re likely to see plenty of archival, and time-worn pieces on display. Of course, there are plenty of guests bound to take the ‘garden of time’ dress code literally – florals and garden fauna likely to be taking centre stage. Perhaps a butterf ..read more

Here we are, somehow on the precipice of yet another Met Gala. Somehow it is May, and tomorrow morning, for Australians at least, we will be privy to yet another edition of the Metropolitan Mueseum of Art’s Costume Gala – affectionately known as ‘The Met Gala’. The carpeted front steps of The Met will once again play host to a myriad of creatives, designers, internet personalities (particularly know that TikTok is a sponsor), and of course, plenty of musicians and actors. We know a few things about this year’s Met Gala already – including the theme, dress code, co-chairs and red carpet hosts ..read more

Over his creative tenure, Pharrell Williams has worn many hats – creatively and figuratively. Straddling roles as visionary recording artist, producer, songwriter, philanthropist, fashion designer and entrepreneur, there’s nothing too out of ordinary for Williams. Last week, he made his inaugural debut into the world of jewellery, announcing a collection with Tiffany & Co. ‘The Tiffany Titan’ is inspired by the trident of the mythological god, Poseidon. The prongs summon energy, power and force. A forever motif of energy forces and power, the collection is a feat of proportion and balance ..read more
