Adelaide-based fashion designer Nini Wang, who founded womenswear label 23rd August, shares her favourite things in life.
What does your idea of the perfect day look like?
A quiet, unplanned day where nothing is rushed – good coffee, creative flow, meaningful conversations, and ending the day feeling deeply grateful. The kind of day that reminds you you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
What brings you joy in life?
Creating something from nothing, watching ideas come to life, shared meals, travelling, and the people who feel like home.
What’s the best advice you’ve been given?
Trust your instincts – they know more than you think.
What is your most treasured photograph?
This photo was taken during golden hour, not long after things started to feel normal again. It was a really calm day. Nothing special was happening, just people around, nice light, and a relaxed feeling. It reminds me to slow down and enjoy moments like this.
What’s the best meal you’ve ever eaten?
A late-night meal shared with friends while travelling – simple food, incredible flavour, and even better conversation. It wasn’t just about the dish, but the feeling.
What are the best qualities of your favourite person?
Kindness, patience, emotional intelligence, and the ability to make others feel seen.
What are the best five songs on your playlist?
Tongue Tied by GROUPLOVE;
So Easy by Olivia Dean;
Just the Two of Us by Grover Washington;
Cause It Was by Tzahr; and
I Drink Wine by Adele
What was your best purchase?
My camera – it taught me to slow down, notice details, and see beauty in every day moments.
