The latest season came to a grand conclusion at Paris Fashion Week SS24, as a raft of renowned luxury brands took to the runways to showcase their collections. From Balenciaga’s predictably left-field affair to Victoria Beckham’s much-talked-about event, Loewe’s triumph of design, Louis Vuitton’s showstopping spectacle and more, here we round up some of our favourite looks and new-season inspirations from the stunning runways of Paris Fashion Week SS24.
In the culinary world, there are artists, and then there are maestros. Callum Liddicoat, the Executive Pastry Chef at Park Hyatt Auckland, undeniably belongs to the latter category. In conversation with Tessa Patrick, Liddicoat shares his culinary philosophy, his favourite dining spots and the joy he finds in his job.
Callum Liddicoat’s journey to becoming a pastry master is a tale of passion, dedication and a thirst for continuous learning — which speaks to the tenacious culinary spirit he has brought to Park Hyatt’s exceptional dining offering, (over which Liddicoat presides as Executive Pastry Chef).
With more than 24 years of experience, Liddicoat’s career began in his native Gold Coast before embarking on a calling that took him around the world, from London to Fiji, facing new challenges and embracing new learnings with every destination. (I’m even told that once, he made 30,000 scones over five days during his tenure at Lords Cricket Grounds.)
The Splice
Under Liddicoat’s meticulous eye, Park Hyatt has become renowned for its exquisite slant on the sweeter side of life — from exquisite cream eggs (hugely popular at Easter time) to meticulously-crafted gingerbread houses, which sell out every Christmas. Modern, simple and natural are pillars of his culinary philosophy, brought to life in each delightful creation across the venue’s flagship destinations; Onemata, The Pantry and The Living Room — the last of which has seen the pastry chef’s approach to afternoon tea captivate Auckland’s most discerning diners. “I believe the secret to an irresistible and sublime-tasting dessert is balance,” he divulges. “And teaching your palate to know when to add layers of textures and flavours and when to hold back. Less is more sometimes, but always push the boundaries.”
“The best thing about my career is I’m still learning, still pushing and still believing I have more to give.”
Since taking up somewhat of a mentor position at Park Hyatt, overseeing other up-and-coming chefs, Liddicoat views his role as a privilege. In this position, he can lead and guide others in all stages of their culinary careers and have the creative freedom to make pastry magic. “I’m hugely passionate about giving back to the industry that has given me so much and allowed me to express myself through the art of food while travelling the globe,” he tells me.
Leading the Park Hyatt pastry team through numerous Covid-related challenges has tested Callum’s mettle. Nevertheless, his commitment to excellence and relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries have earned him numerous accolades, and his tenacity, combined with his team’s unwavering support, continues to take Park Hyatt’s pastry offerings to bold new heights.
Outside of the hotel, Liddicoat’s approach to food is far less intricate. Like most chefs, food is more straightforward at home, but he still stresses the importance of nourishing himself with tasty ingredients. And when dining outside the precinct, you’ll find him at Viaduct Harbour’s Hello Beasty, Ponsonby Road stalwart Prego, or Parade, for a seriously indulgent burger.
Carrot Cake
But life isn’t always sweet, and sometimes, as he tells me, you get sick of the cakes after too many versions of trial and error. Liddicoat explains that due to travelling the world, working long hours in kitchens, and having to reinvent the wheel many times, mental health and anxiety are prevalent among many pastry chefs; something with which he too has had to grapple with in his career. But there is also, he counters, such joy to be found working in this space, from being purely creative and hands-on to the friends and connections you make. Anyone who has worked in hospitality will testify to the latter.
“The best thing about my career is I’m still learning, still pushing and still believing I have more to give,” he confesses. “I wouldn’t say I’m an expert in one area of pastry, but I have built my career around learning and developing skills in all areas of the pastry kitchen. Give me a challenge and the tools to run a multi-outlet hotel, and that’s when I’m in my element.” And anyone who’s sampled his goods will attest to his brilliance. In Liddicoat’s case, the proof really is in the pudding.
While a saucy scowl might have a place on the runways of couture week, a dour resting face won’t age well, leaving you with stubborn frown lines and dull texture. But never fear. In the name of embracing natural beauty, we’ve found an effective way to correct and improve facial posture, using three simple steps.
Sculpting Facial Treatments
In-clinic facial treatments with pioneers in the field are going to give you those immediate, lasting results. One of our favourites is Kate Michelmore’s Buccal Massage and Anti-Gravity Facial at Skinography, where the rigorous face massages are designed to correct sagging facial posture and the results are quite literally jaw-dropping.
At Home Gua Sha Rituals
Employing an at-home gua sha regime will extend the life of your in-clinic treatments, where the daily ritual encourages skin dexterity and constant lymphatic drainage to relax your muscles, reset your posture and bring life back to your face.
It’s easier said than done, but inflammatory foods like sugar, dairy and gluten, as well as alcohol, can all lead to a puffier complexion. This can be remedied by treatments, but where longevity is concerned, consider pulling back on your consumption of these trigger foods.
Give Yourself a Cryotherapy Facial
There’s nothing like waking up your face with an icy-cold greeting. Use tools like the ones listed below, straight from the freezer, to reduce swelling and inflammation, particularly around the eyes. This will brighten tired skin, eliminate any dreaded puffiness and leave you feeling fresh and ready for the day.

There is a special, intimate quality about local luxury atelier Dadelszen’s collections that takes their appeal beyond cut, fabrication or finish alone. It is a romanticism, rooted in the idea of timelessness that is woven carefully through every collection. A Dadelszen wardrobe is transeasonal, bespoke, buildable and of a superior quality that makes each piece something to be cherished forever. So when it came time to conceptualise Dadelszen’s new campaign for its 2023 mens and womenswear, it was to the chic, creative couple of internationally-renowned fashion photographer Terence Connors and his Kiwi model wife (and longtime Dadelszen collaborator) Zippora Seven that the brand turned. It presented the perfect opportunity to create a campaign that not only spoke to Dadelszen’s sophisticated, international clientele, but to the underlying spirit of the brand and the ethos of its founders (also a husband-wife duo who have long worked together).

Trusting Connors with bringing this collection to life was hardly a difficult decision for Dadelszen, after all, the photographer had shot for publications like British Vogue and Vogue Australia, Porter and Elle magazines, brands like Jimmy Choo, Proenza Schouler, Helmut Lang and Luisa Vi Roma, and worked with the likes of Gigi and Bella Hadid, Julia Garner, Sydney Sweeney and more. His photos are characterised by a beautiful, buttery, dream-like quality and the people he photographs always come across as relaxed, personable and real. In short, his work makes space for his subjects to shine, delivering exquisite frames that capture something uniquely raw and deeply connected.
“Connors has… captured the essence of Dadelszen, offering a personal story of connection, liveable luxury and love that mirrors the origins of the brand itself.”
In this Dadelszen campaign in particular, Connors has, via a series of sundrenched shots, captured the essence of Dadelszen, offering a personal story of connection, liveable luxury and love that mirrors the origins of the brand itself. Each frame draws you into the Dadelszen world where high-end fashion is meticulously designed for elevating the idea of everyday-wear, while a nostalgic, grainy film quality speaks to the brand’s beautiful tactility and penchant for understated sophistication and old-world glamour.
“Zippora worked with us on our very first campaign,” says Constance von Dadelszen, Creative Director of womenswear at Dadelszen. “And while we’ve all grown a lot since then, there’s a really lovely synergy between Zippy’s journey and ours.” She continues, “working with a real couple like Zippy and Terence, there’s an authenticity to the images that would otherwise be hard to achieve.”

Balancing soft, refined tailoring with richly-textured knitwear and leather, Dadelszen’s new collection comes alive in the relaxed romanticism and aspirational styling of its campaign. As the brand’s Founder, Edward von Dadelszen, articulates, “it’s a concise collection featuring perennial classics, with new iterations of silhouettes that Dadelszen has become renowned for — sumptuous shearling, beautiful soft leather, cashmere, outerwear and tailoring that one finds themselves reaching for again and again.”
Reiterating the ways in which this brand is one of the best in its field, both locally and internationally, Dadelszen’s new, seasonal campaign and collection not only exemplify the quality that has kept it at the forefront, but stand as a full-circle moment for the brand — an ode to where it started and an indication of where it is going.

The weekend is here, which means that it is time to write out a hit list of where you want to go for your morning brunch, long lunches and delicious dinners. Here, in a bid to get you out there supporting local hospitality (and enjoying some utterly delectable food while you’re at it), we have curated a comprehensive weekend dining guide for the days ahead, from Friday night drinks to Saturday lunch to Sunday dinner, and everything in between.
This intimate and exquisitely-appointed oyster bar and restaurant opened in the space alongside Viaduct Harbour’s Oyster & Chop earlier this year and quickly established itself as the perfect spot for an easy drink or a bite with friends. The Terrace offers delicious drinks, a seafood-centric menu that showcases the oyster in all its glory and a vibe that is both elevated and welcoming. This is the ideal place to kick off your Friday night in style.
When drinks and nibbles are done, take a short walk to Commercial Bay and park up at Pōni for a delicious dinner. Lead by hospitality guru David Lee, Pōni offers a menu of mouthwatering Asian fare, focusing on Japanese and Chinese flavours, with dishes like popcorn shrimp with nori-sriracha-mayo sauce, cold dan dan noodles with black sesame dressing and char-siu pork jowl with jalapeño relish and mustard oil. Its wine list is also one of the best in town.
Head out east for a satiating brunch at Nic Watt’s Akarana Eatery. There, enjoy dishes like shakshuka eggs, housemade banana bread and cinnamon French toast, classic Benedict and more. And if you have the family in tow, little ones can exert some energy on the front lawn or nearby playground. A win-win, we say.
If you decide to linger in the eastern suburbs, why not pop into Azabu Mission Bay for lunch and sample its enticing new menu? Offering a raft of tantalising dishes and flavours, Azabu’s new menu builds on its already stellar reputation, dreamt up by Azabu’s talented chefs as the venue’s answer to summertime dining. (But you can still enjoy it, even if the summer weather hasn’t quite arrived.)
Enjoy weekend drinks in the elevated environs of Somm Cellar Door. This cosy Princes Wharf spot offers an exceptional wine list (in fact, it holds some of the country’s most exclusive bottles in its cellar), alongside a menu of tasty bites designed to pair perfectly with your chosen pour. Take your experience one step further by opting for one of Somm’s Wine Flights, where you will be taken on a sensory journey that expands your wine horizons.
You really can’t go wrong at this Viaduct Harbour stalwart. No matter what the weather decides to do this weekend, Soul Bar & Bistro is the place to go for a soul-warming and utterly delectable dinner. Start with some wagyu beef tongue or goat fromage frais, order the beef short rib ragù pappardelle with chilli and torched raclette or the Hawke’s Bay lamb rack (if you’re hungry) and dabble in the halloumi salad on the side. Outstanding.
Up your brunch game at Amano, where you can either take a seat and enjoy dishes like granola, avocado with poached eggs on toast or breakfast frittata. Or, simply stop in at the adjoining Amano bakery for breakfast to-go with a tantalising pastry (or two), a freshly-made juice and a takeaway coffee.
Gather your nearest and dearest and head to Huami at SkyCity for a sprawling yum cha lunch. Offering a delectable range of classic yum cha dishes including steamed dim sum, fried dim sum, dumplings, Shanghai xiao long bao, barbecue duck and pork, wok-fried noodles and more, this is the perfect place to escape the weekend weather for a flavoursome feast.
End your week on a high note by enjoying a satiating dinner at Auckland’s most lauded steak house. If you haven’t been to Jervois Steak House since its facelift, or sampled the new additions to its menu, consider this a sign. Cosy up by the open fire and order one of JSH’s famous cuts or, if red meat isn’t on the cards, opt instead for something like the grilled crayfish with lemon butter, the handmade gnocchi or the pan-fried market fish. And with a line-up of new desserts on offer to satisfy those sweet-tooth cravings, there really is something here for everyone to enjoy.
Set in a historic building that was once a Presbyterian manse, this distinct, monolithic home in Melbourne has undergone a meticulous restoration, transformed into a tour de force of contemporary design.
A stunning testament to architectural innovation, Mim Design’s Park House is an extraordinary residence that artfully juxtaposes the grandeur of a former Presbyterian manse with a striking, modern extension.
Drawing inspiration from the house’s historic but rough-and-ready bluestone facade, Park House boasts a captivating, textural material palette, where brutalist concrete (reminiscent of industrial minimalism) creates bold juxtapositions against the softer living areas inside. Rough-sawn cut and chiselled stone, echoing the home’s heritage, instils a sense of rugged elegance throughout the residence, while the prevailing palette of dove grey and charcoal alongside details like timber panelling and aged accents infuses every space with a moody, almost gallery-like ambience, laying the perfect foundations for a collection of visually-arresting, sculptural artworks.
“Park House boasts a captivating, textural material palette, where brutalist concrete (reminiscent of industrial minimalism) creates bold juxtapositions against the softer living areas inside.”
In fact, Park House offers a series of enchanting moments and moods, elevating the living experience to unparalleled heights. The front rooms, for instance, are cosy, private and intimate. Here, organic forms and more gentle tones create a calm oasis, inviting occupants in to take solace from the outside world.
In contrast, the rear extension of Park House introduces a deep, tonal inversion, striking in its dramatic allure and monochromatic furnishings. A double-height fireplace, clad in domino quartzite, commands attention, engaging in a sculptural dialogue with the surrounding environment — embraced by Edra Design’s Standard sofa. The grand, modern spiralling staircase, finished in blackened metal, serves as an enchanting focal point, weaving sinuously through the space. While the adjacent kitchen, a harmonious symphony of materials, combines chiselled and hammered grey marble, black-stained American oak cabinetry and gunmetal detailing. A charming dining nook where the Gallotti&Radice 0414 chair accompanies a sweeping custom booth seat adds to the atmosphere that is inviting, albeit intimidating in its composition and scale.
Ultimately, Park House exemplifies the art of balanced design, skilfully intertwining the home’s devout past with contemporary elements. Its masterful execution by Mim Design showcases the stunning effect that can come from the fusion of rugged materials and refined architectural gestures. The harmonious balance here, between restraint and textural detail, offers a captivating journey through evocative spaces that will leave a lasting impression and creates a grand home befitting of its holy origins.

Contemporary artist Freeman White has confidently positioned himself within New Zealand’s rich lineage of landscape painting, known for his works that bring a refreshing perspective to the genre and deftly bridge past and present.
Originally renowned for his portraiture, Freeman White’s acclaim grew after winning the prestigious Adam National Portrait Award in 2006. Invitations followed to exhibit at Germany’s REAL international symposium for Figurative Art and to paint portraits in Edinburgh under James Holloway’s Tutelage (at the time. the director of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery). In 2009, White’s artistic journey led him to explore landscape painting; redefining the genre through innovative techniques and a modern context. White’s textured canvases pulsate with energy, offering a contemporary reflection on the natural world’s political and emotional charge. Referencing both art history and current environmental realities, White’s landscapes and seascapes create a deliberate juxtaposition. His brushstrokes expertly evoke shifting sunlight, rolling hills and crashing waves; inviting viewers into an undulating scene.
The artist’s plein-air approach also captures the palpable qualities of painting, imbuing each piece with a human touch and cultivating a profound connection between viewer and artwork. White’s contribution to Aotearoa’s landscape painting and art history is widely recognised. His unique visual perspective invites us to embrace the enduring and ever-evolving allure of New Zealand’s natural wonders, making him one artist to keep firmly on your radar.
Here we present an exclusive interview with the lauded artist, as his new exhibition of paintings, Salt, opens at Sanderson Contemporary.
Exclusive Q&A
When did you become an artist, and what were your first inspiring moments that made you want to become an artist?
I remember at the age of three getting my first pair of glasses. It changed my world completely. Before then I had been living in a blur of light and colour and all of a sudden everything came into sharp focus. From that moment on I wanted to document my world. I entered lots of art competitions when I was still at school and started exhibiting my work when I was 13. Art has never felt like a choice for me, rather it has always seemed like a calling. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be an artist.
You started out as a portrait artist but have also become known for your landscapes and seascapes, painting ‘en plein air’. When did you make this transition?
Although I first gained recognition as a portrait painter when I won the ADAM portrait award back in 2006 I had always painted landscapes, as well as portraits. After that major career break, I wanted to show people that I also painted landscapes so in my first solo show after winning the award, at Black Barn Gallery in Hawkes bay, it was all landscapes. The show went really well and from then on my landscapes have become the basis for my career. I still paint portraits, however. I love painting people who inspire me and I don’t think that will ever change.

When did you begin painting the ocean?
It was after relocating from Wellington back to my home region of Hawkes Bay that I took an interest in painting the ocean. I bought an old, run-down villa in Napier, with views looking out to the sea along Marine Parade. Seeing this beautiful and ever-changing scene and listening to the waves crashing from my home is what drew me to start painting Seascapes, like the collection I am currently showing at Sanderson Gallery.
How did you get into painting En Plein Air?
I was first exposed to plein air painting on Instagram, in fact, and I still follow lots of incredible artists on there as a result. Plein air painting has made a huge resurgence in recent years and is considered by many to be at the forefront of contemporary landscape painting.
The action of painting ‘En Plein Air’ is simply painting outside on location and was popularised in the nineteenth century by the Impressionists. It has a very long tradition though, that dates back to the fifteenth century with Artists like Da Vinci drawing directly from nature. It is something I wish I had gotten into at the beginning of my career, as it has really changed the way that I paint.
When I was in my twenties I travelled to Europe with a sketchbook in my hand, making drawings of the old buildings and people that I met. At the time, these sketches became my travel memories as opposed to photographs or the modern-day selfies. Now I always take my painting travel kit. I can’t think of a better way to experience a location than to sit down and paint it. Painting ”En Plein Air” has become my absolute passion and what I choose to do in between painting gallery shows and producing commissions.

Is there one genre of painting that you love more than another?
I love paint as a medium and believe it has many expressive qualities. I am a realist painter but I don’t only love realist art. I have been profoundly moved by works of art that I did not expect to be moved by, works that were more abstract than realist. So in this way the genre of the artwork has seemed less important to me than the reaction that it inspires from within me. I am interested in many forms of Modern and contemporary art and I have made it part of my life to travel and visit museums and international collections, seeing historical works in their original state.
What part of the world has been the most inspiring for you to paint?
I recently did a painting trip to Germany and France where I painted castles. I’m always inspired by new surroundings but I think some of my best work has been painted of the Te Mata hills where I grew up in Hawke’s Bay. I would have to say that New Zealand is really the most inspiring place for me as a landscape painter. There is something very powerful about connecting to this place.

We were told you are friends with Tilda Swinton and her partner and have spent time with them in Europe. How did this friendship come about and what has your experience been like spending time with them?
Yes, it’s true I’m friends with Tilda and her partner Sandro Kopp. I was recently in Paris with them and we had a wonderful time. I met Sandro almost twenty years ago at art school in Wellington. We sat next to each other on the first day at orientation and have been best friends ever since. Over the years I have been lucky enough to spend many memorable moments with Sandro and Tilda. They are two of my favourite people.
Which artists inspire you and why? And what advice would you give to young artists?
I’m inspired by many of the historical Greats Like Sargent, Sorolla and Velazquez to name a few. There are so many great painters that have inspired me, too many to list here really but there is no substitute for seeing artworks in their original form. So one piece of advice that I would give to young artists is to see as much original art as possible – work out what moves you and don’t be afraid to experiment and make mistakes, it’s the best way that you can learn.
Tell us one thing about yourself that people wouldn’t know
Ha ha well not many people know this but I am a passionate cook and recently I have been upping my Wok game. I love lots of different styles of cooking but my recent obsession is Asian cuisine.
Freeman White’s exhibition ‘Salt’ is on now at Sanderson Contemporary until the 22nd of October 2023.

A great tradition long enjoyed by royalty and the aristocratic elite, afternoon tea has, over the years, become a veritable culinary art form. From the small pastries to the savoury treats to the moreish sweet indulgences, afternoon tea is the perfect way to bridge lunch and dinner (without ruining your appetite for either) and is a decidedly elegant way to celebrate a special occasion, or to simply while away a few hours in delectable fashion. All that said, nowhere does afternoon tea better than the Park Hyatt Auckland, and if you haven’t yet tried its famous offering, we think now is the perfect time.
Park Hyatt Auckland’s Afternoon Tea is an elevated affair, where deliciously savoury bites like parsnip gratin with truffle potato cream, blue cheese brûlée with wild mushroom and bacon crumb, confit duck with slaw in a rosemary bun sit alongside sweet delights like petit gateaux with yuzu curd, bergamot and white chocolate, dark chocolate Jerusalem artichoke and caramel tart and brioche doughnut with lime curd custard. A lineup that would please any gourmand, this Afternoon Tea offers an array of flavours, is available with fully vegetarian or vegan menus too and is a testament to the clever culinary forces at play here.
Available at Park Hyatt Auckland’s The Living Room, a comfortable, cosy space in which you can relax, unwind and take in the stunning views across Auckland’s waterfront, Afternoon Tea is the perfect way to spend a few hours. And with school holidays now in full swing, it could be the perfect experience to fill an afternoon or two with the kids in tow.
Park Hyatt Auckland’s Afternoon Tea is available from Thursday to Sunday, between 12pm and 3:30pm. Book here.
