This month, we celebrate International Women’s Day with our March issue dedicated to women who inspire us.
There wasn’t a cloud in the sky when features editor Genevieve Meegan stepped out of the elevator and into the penthouse atop Eighty Eight O’Connell.
From the incredible vantage, there were views from Glenelg’s pine trees and ocean, to the peaks and valleys of the Adelaide Hills.
This is the setting for a dinner party, hosted by Karen Hayes, featured in this month’s issue. At the dinner, Karen celebrated the women in her life.
A hallmark of Karen’s dinner parties is always a question she asks her guests to encourage thoughtful conversation. This time, it was: “When in your professional or personal life did someone who had great faith in you ask you to do something, and despite feeling like you could never achieve that, you did it; and what were your learnings from that?”
For this group of successful women, the question was a poignant one. To be a fly on the wall of that room.
Karen, the co-founder of the Australian chapter of the International Women’s Forum, has worked all around the world and has settled back into life in South Australia, and is ready to give back.
“I’ve been given so many wonderful opportunities in my life that have just been organic opportunities, and I want to do the same for other people, because that’s how they get the most out of life.”
The inspiring stories of women is a theme you’ll find throughout these pages, as we celebrate International Women’s Day on Sunday, March 8.
Senior journalist and photographer Ben Kelly steps into the homes and creative spaces of some of the South Australian women we admire to take a peek at the places that inspire and motivate.
Our fashion pages are dedicated to South Australian designers, who don their own designs in a shoot that all of us here in the office just adore.
These women are used to letting the models tell the sartorial stories of their pieces, but there’s something really beautiful about seeing the designers looking wonderful and empowered themselves.
