THE JOURNEY NOT THE ARRIVAL

"I BELIEVE IN THE JOURNEY, NOT THE ARRIVAL, IN CONVERSATION, NOT IN MONOLOGUES, IN MULTIPLE QUESTIONS RATHER THAN A SINGLE ANSWER. I BELIEVE IN THE STRUGGLE TO REMAKE OURSELVES AND EACH OTHER IN THE SPIRIT OF ETERNAL FORGIVENESS, IN THE AWARENESS THAT NONE OF US KNOWS FOR SURE WHAT HAPPINESS TRULY IS, BUT EACH OF US KNOWS THE IMPERATIVE TO KEEP SEARCHING."- ANDREW SULLIVAN

CHARISMA....


CHARISMA, PIZZAZZ, , GUMPTION…. WHATEVER WORD YOU USE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, DESCRIBING SOMEONE WHO CAN TRANSFIX WHOM EVER THEY ARE TALKING TO, EVEN IF THEIR CONVERSATION IS A BRIEF AS A LOOK & A HELLO. THIS DESCRIPTION IS OFTEN USED WHEN REFERENCING MALE ACTORS, CLOONEY, REDFORD & THE PIONEER, CLARKE GABLE (AND FOR OUR AUSSIE & UK READERS, ACTOR & TV PRESENTER [DAN MACPHERSON] OOZES IT, IN (REALLY BIG) BUCKET LOADS). AND WHILE I, LIKE AN RED BLOODED WOMAN, AM UNDER THE LIKES OF CLOONEY (& OK, MACPHERSON’S) SPELL, IT IS FEMALE CHARISMA THAT I WANT TO BRING TO LIGHT & WHO MY FAVOURITE CHARISMATIC BEAUTIES ARE.

BEING A FEMALE, YOU DO NOT GET AWAY WITH NEAR AS MUCH AS MALES DO…. A SEXUAL INNUENDO FROM A HANDSOME, CHEEKY ‘CHARISMATIC’ MAN, FOLLOWED BUT HIS TRADEMARK ‘YOU KNOW I’M KIDDING, BUT YOU KNOW YOU WISH I WASN’T’ GRIN IS ACCEPTABLE ……& CRAVED… IF A WOMAN DID THE SAME, HER TITLE WOULD NOT BE AS COMPLIMENTARY.

I FELT COMPELLED TO WRITE ON THIS TOPIC, SOLELY BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING I ADMIRE & RESPECT IN WOMEN…. IT IS SOMETHING I WISH / HOPE I HAVE A SLITHER OF WHAT MY LATTER MENTIONED SUBJECTS HAVE, & SADLY, IT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN FAKE, YOU EITHER HAVE IT OR YOU DON’T. I GOT THINKING ABOUT THIS SOME TIME AGO, WHEN I FIRST MET THE GORGEOUS AUSSIE MODEL/ TV PRESENTER / SINGER, [ERIKA HEYNATZ]. ITS ONE THING TO BE A PRETTY FACE (IN HEYNATZ CASE, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS), & IN A LOT (READ: MOST) CASES, THIS IS WHERE IT STOPS ,(ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WORD ‘MODEL’ PRECEDES YOUR CV) BUT HEYNATZ IS ONE OF THOSE GORGEOUS WOMEN THAT INTIMATEDATES YOU AT FIRST SIGHT, BUT THE MINUTE SHE FLASHES THAT SMILE & OPENS HER MOUTH, ANY INTIMATION IS GONE & REPLACED WITH ADMIRATION & ANTICIPATION SHE MAY CHOOSE (YOU PRAY TO GOD) YOU AS HER NEW BFF, THE PERSON SHE CALLS WHEN SHE WANTS TO HAVE A GIRLS NIGHT OUT OR WANTS A BUDDY TO TAKE SHOPPING & LAUGHING WITH AS YOU TALK ABOUT MUTALS FRIENDS YOU BOTH LIKE, BUT KNOW THAT THE BOND THE TWO OF YOU HAVE IS BEST FRIEND STAUS… (DON’T PRETEND YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!). I MET ERIKA MANY YEARS AGO & HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED THE WAY SHE CAN LITERALLY LIGHT UP A ROOM, MAKE EVERYBODY SHE COMES IN CONTACT WITH (& EVEN SOME SHE DOESN’T) FEEL WELCOME, ENGAGED & GRAVITATE TOWARDS HER PRESENCE. SHE IS EQUALLY CHEEKY AS SHE IS SEXY, EQUALLY INTELLIGENT AS SHE IS QUICK WITTED & ENGAGING SHE HAS AN ABILITY TO ‘LEAVE YOU WANTING MORE’…. HEYNATZ IS NEVER AT A LOSS FOR WORDS, NOT IN A GIRLY, I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY KIND OF WAY, BUT IN A RESERVED, CONFIDENT, YET ‘MAKE THE PERSON YOU ARE TALKING TO’ FEEL UTTERLY RELAXED & ‘IMPORTANT’ KIND OF WAY.

THE SECOND ON MY GIRL CRUSH CHARISMA LIST IS NEW YORK BASED, AUSSIE DJ [SKY NELLOR]. I RECENTLY WATCHED A REALITY SHOW NELLOR WAS FEATURED ON, & NOT ONLY DID SHE DEMAND ATTENTION PHYSICALLY, SHE COMPLETELY LIT UP THE SCREEN / (ROOM / SET SHE WAS IN) BECAUSE SHE OOZED CHARISMA… SHE WAS POLITE, WARM & GENUINE, MADE PEOPLE AROUND HER FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEM SELVES & OVERALL, WAS THE GORGEOUS, DOWN TO EARTH BEAUTY… ALTHOUGH YOU COULDN’T MISS HER SUPERMODEL LOOKS, THEY BECAME SECONDARY (THAT’S SAYING SOMETHING!) TO HER GORGEOUS PERSONALITY.

LAST, BUT CERTAINLY, NOT LEAST ON MY LUST AFTER CHARISMA STAKES, IS THE BEAUTIFUL AUTHOR & BEAUTY EDITOR, [ZOE FOSTER]. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ ZOE’S COLUMN, FOLLOWED HER ON TWITTER, OR BEEN BLESSED ENOUGH TO MEET HER IN PERSON, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DO ONE OF THE PRE-MENTIONED THREE THINGS. ZOE IS ONE OF THE COOLEST LADIES I KNOW. HILARIOUS DOESN’T BEGIN TO COVER HER WIT, & MIX THIS WITH HER INTELLIGENCE, BEAUTY & HONESTY & YOU HAVE CHARISMA WRAPPED UP IN A TEENY TINY LITTLE ZOE PACKAGE. FOLLOW HER ON TWITTER & READ HER COLUMNS (OR BUY HER BOOKS!) & YOU WILL FEEL LIKE SHE IS A GIRLFRIEND YOU CAN CALL AT ANY HOUR OF THE NIGHT TO CRY ABOUT A BOY WHO BROKE YOUR HEART OR TELL HER YOU WISH SHE WAS AT YOUR GIRLY DINNER / DRINKS (*PLEASE NOTE, I AM NOT SUGGESTING, NOR CONDONING YOU STALK/RANDOMLY CALL ZOE FOSTER) MY POINT IS, AS WITH SKY & ERIKA, THERE IS NO HINT OF ARROGANCE OR INTIMIDATION. I HAD FOLLOWED ZOE’S COLUMNS FOR MANY YEARS, & MET HER ONE DAY IN A MARQUEE ON RACE DAY, NOT ONLY DID I FELL LIKE IT WAS OUR ONE HUNDREDTH MEETING, NOT OUR FIRST, I WAS ALSO IN ADMIRATION OF HER CHARISMATIC & DOWN TO EARTH WAYS. SHE WAS RECALLING A STORY TO ME ABOUT HER & HER GIRLFRIENDS TAKING A HOLIDAY & FINISHED BY SELF-PROCLAIMING HERSELF A ‘DIP-SHIT’ (& I AM SURE SHE WILL NOT MIND ME REPEATING SHE SAID AS SUCH) BECAUSE OF SOMETHING STUPID SHE SAID TO HER FRIENDS ON HOLIDAY. I THOUGHT THIS WAS SO FANTASTIC & SO LACKING IN ATTITUDE; I INSTANTLY ADMIRED HER GRACE & CANDIDNESS, & WISHED I COULD BE MORE HONEST & ESSENTIALLY, CHARISMATIC LIKE HER.

IN A DAY & AGE, WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH ‘FAKENESS’, IT IS REFRESHING, MESMERIZING & JUST SO DAMN GOOD TO HAVE REAL, HONEST & CHARISMATIC WOMEN DOING THEIR THING, WITH HEIRS OF GRACE, BUT OH SO DOWN TO EARTH. - SW

TODAY I WAS ASKED...

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR?....

I THINK THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT IS CREATING A COMPANY OF LIKE MINDED PEOPLE – WE HAVE SUCH A GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE IN THE IMMEDIATE & GREATER [SW TEAM], & IF YOU HAVE TO WORK, IT HOPEFULLY IS ONE OF YOUR MOST ENJOYABLE DESTINATIONS! I AM VERY PASSIONATE THAT THIS JOURNEY (OF THE SAMANTHA WILLS BRAND) IS NOT DERIVED AROUND ‘ME’. EVEN THOUGH THE BRAND IS MY NAME, I WANT THE BRAND TO BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE LOYAL & GRATUITOUS TEAM THAT WORKS WITH ME IN HELPING REALISE A BIGGER DREAM. IF I CAN ACHIEVE THIS CULTURE INTO THE FUTURE OF THE BRAND, IT WILL DEFIANTLY BE MY GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT.

FASHION TO ME IS...


FASHION TO ME IS...
COMFORT. COMFORT IN FEEL , BUT MORE SO COMFORT IN SELF. YOU CAN TELL WHEN SOMEONE IS NOT COMFORTABLE IN AN OUTFIT. WITH COMFORT COMES CONFIDENCE. FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, FASHION SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN TOO SERIOUSLY. I AM VERY ADAMANT THERE IS NO ‘NEED’ FOR WHAT WE DO, WE DESIGN & PRODUCE SPECIFICALLY FOR ‘WANT’, & I THINK THIS MESSAGE CAN SOMETIMES GET LOST IN THIS INDUSTRY. I LIKE TO ENJOY FASHION & FASHION SHOULD BE ANOTHER LAYER OF YOUR PERSONALITY THAT ALLOWS YOU TO EXPRESS YOURSELF COMFORTABLY & CONFIDENTIALLY.

NEITHER DAY NOR NIGHT

THIS MORNING I HAD TO SET MY ALARM FOR 330AM TO GET A 620AM FLIGHT FROM NEW YORK’S JFK IN TO LOS ANGELES. 330AM IS NEITHER THE MORNING NOR THE NIGHT TO ME. I FEEL THIS WAY ABOUT THE TIME BETWEEN ABOUT 315AM & 345AM…. PARTY REVELERS ARE USUALLY HOME BY 3AM, SO THAT CONCLUDES THE NIGHT TIME, & THE GENERAL EARLY RISER TIME IS AROUND 5AM ONWARDS, SO THE LEAD UP TO A 5AM ALARM (4AM & AFTER) CONSTITUTES THE MORNING IN MY MIND. 315AM-345AM FEELS LIKE A VERY LONELY TIME, EVEN IN NYC, THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS, THE STREETS ARE EXTREMELY QUIET & THERE IS A EERIE SILENCE OVER THE CITY. TRAVELLING ALOT, I AM OFTEN FACED WITH JETLAG, YOUR BODY CLOCK CAN BE BRIGHT EYED & BUSHY TAILED WHEN THE REST OF THE CITY I AM IN IS SLEEPING, ALSO IN THE REVERSE, WHEN YOU KNOW IT IS AROUND 3AM AT ‘HOME’ YOU CAN SOMETIMES FEEL VERY REMOVED, KNOWING YOUR LOVED ONES ARE IN SLUMBER WHILE YOU ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD MOVING INTO LUNCH TIME. THIS MAY SEEM LIKE A WEIRD ENTRY, & GRANTED THAT IT IS, I AM POSTING THIS FROM JFK AIRPORT PRIOR TO CATCHING MY FLIGHT, ON THE CAB RIDE HERE, I SNAPPED THE ABOVE PICTURE, LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE CABS BACK WINDOW OF THE SILENT NYC SKYLINE AT 4AM, THROUGH THE RAIN & COLD OF A CRISP FALL MORNING, I TAKE SOLICE IN THE FACT THAT THE EVEN THOUGH I MAY FEEL LIKE THE ONLY PERSON AWAKE, THERE ARE LIGHTS TWINKLING IN THE DARK MEANING I AM SHARING THIS HOUR OF NEITHER DAY NOR NIGHT WITH OTHERS - SW

[THRU MY LENS] 'DIOR ILLUSTRATED', LONDON

RENE GRUAU CREATED SOME OF THE MOST INSTANTLY RECOGNISABLE & ENDURING FASHION & BEAUTY IMAGES OF THE 20TH CENTURY. TOGETHER WITH HIS GREAT FRIEND CHRISTIAN DIOR, GRUAU CREATED A FRESH IDEAL OF FEMININE BEAUTY, ONE THAT EMBRACED A NEW KIND OF ELEGANCE & SOPHISTICATION. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE 'DIOR ILLUSTRATED' EXHIBITION IN LONDON TODAY, VIEWING GRUAU'S ORIGINAL ARTWORKS, STILL WITH PENCIL LINES BENEATH THE PAINT, WHITE PAINT COVERING WHAT HE SAW AS MISTAKES. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL & ENCHANTING & BEYOND INSPIRING TO BE ABLE TO VIEW THE ORIGINAL ARTWORKS & READ THE INSPIRATIONS BEHIND HIS DECADES OF WORK. -SW

VANITY FAIR - ITALIA


I USUALLY RESERVE THIS BLOG FOR PERSONAL ENTRIES, NOTHING BUSINESS RELATED, HOWEVER, WHILE THIS IS BUSINESS RELATED, IT IS PERSONALLY EXCITING, SO I AM EXCITED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU. YESTERDAY WE (THE SAMANTHA WILLS PTY LTD TEAM) RECEIVED THE COVER IMAGE OF VANITY FAIR ITALIA.... WITH SAMANTHA WILLS FEATURED ON THE COVER....BEING FEATURED ON SUCH A PRESTIGIOUS PUBLICATION IS A GREAT COMPLIMENT TO THE BRAND AND EQUAL PARTS HUMBLING AND EXCITING FOR THE ENTIRE SAMANTHA WILLS TEAM. THE COVER OF VANITY FAIR IS A FORM OF INDUSTRY VALIDATION THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY, AND WHILE WORKING INTENSELY ON THE BRAND, I SOMETIMES GET LOST IN IT ALL, AND TO HAVE THIS KIND OF INDUSTRY VALIDATION REASSURES ME THAT THE SAMANTHA WILLS BRAND IS CHARTERING THE RIGHT COURSE FOR BOTH OUR LOYAL RETAILERS AND CUSTOMERS ALIKE. - SW

GLITTER IN THE AIR

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS, EVER....IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ALECIA MOORE PERFORM THIS, THEN PLEASE - GO & GOOGLE IT IMMEDIATELY. THE HONESTY OF THE WORDS, SO BEAUTIFUL. - SWx

-----------------
GLITTER IN THE AIR
ALECIA MOORE (P!NK)

HAVE YOU EVER FED A LOVER WITH JUST YOUR HANDS?
CLOSED YOUR EYES AND TRUSTED, JUST TRUSTED?
HAVE YOU EVER THROWN A FIST FULL OF GLITTER IN THE AIR?
HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED FEAR IN THE FACE AND SAID, "I JUST DON'T CARE"?

IT'S ONLY HALF PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN
THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG THE SUN BEFORE THE BURN
THE THUNDER BEFORE THE LIGHTNING
THE BREATH BEFORE THE PHRASE HAVE YOU EVER FELT THIS WAY?

HAVE YOU EVER HATED YOURSELF FOR STARING AT THE PHONE?
YOU'RE WHOLE LIFE WAITING ON THE RING TO PROVE YOU'RE NOT ALONE
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TOUCHED SO GENTLY YOU HAD TO CRY?
HAVE YOU EVER INVITED A STRANGER TO COME INSIDE?

IT'S ONLY HALF PAST THE POINT OF OBLIVION
THE HOURGLASS ON THE TABLE
THE WALK BEFORE THE RUN
THE BREATH BEFORE THE KISS AND THE FEAR BEFORE THE FLAMES
HAVE YOU EVER FELT THIS WAY?

THERE YOU ARE,
SITTING IN THE GARDEN
CLUTCHING MY COFFEE,
CALLING ME SUGAR
YOU CALLED ME SUGAR

HAVE YOU EVER WISHED FOR AN ENDLESS NIGHT?
LASSOED THE MOON AND THE STARS AND PULLED THAT ROPE TIGHT?
HAVE YOU EVER HELD YOUR BREATH AND ASKED YOURSELF WILL IT EVER GET BETTER THAN TONIGHT? TONIGHT.

THE JOURNEY - NOT THE ARRIVAL

"I believe in the journey, not the arrival, in conversation, not in monologues, in multiple questions rather than a single answer. I believe in the struggle to remake ourselves and each other in the spirit of eternal forgiveness, in the awareness that none of us knows for sure what happiness truly is, but each of us knows the imperative to keep searching."
- Andrew Sullivan

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

TODAY I RECEIVED THE BELOW POST ON MY PERSONAL FACEBOOK WALL. I AM NOT REPOSTING IT TO PROCLAIM RECOGNITION OR BROADCAST AN WARM & FUZZY DIRECTED TOWARDS MYSELF. I AM POSTING IT TO MAKE MENTION THAT AN EMAIL LIKE THIS, WHEN RECEIVED IS NOT TAKEN OR DISCARDED LIGHTLY. IT IS BECAUSE OF EMAILS LIKE THIS, THAT MYSELF, & MY TEAM CONTINUE TO DO WHAT WE DO EVERYDAY. WE ARE VERY HONEST WITH OURSELVES, THAT THERE IS RESPECTFULLY NO 'NEED' FOR WHAT WE DO. IF THE FASHION INDUSTRY STOPPED TOMORROW, THE WORLD WOULD CONTINUE TURNING, BUT KNOWING WHAT WE DO BRINGS JOY TO PEOPLE, MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES, THEN THE FASHION WE CREATE IS NOT DONE IN VAIN. I DO NOT ASSUME THIS KIND OF EMAIL IS DIRECTED TO ME PERSONALLY, I TAKE IT AS PART OF THE SW TEAM, AS A THANKYOU FROM SOMEONE WHO LOVES WHAT WE (Sarah, Nikki, Dionne, Amy, Jen, Tara, Geoff, Evelyn, Sam, Andy, Margaret, Gary, Colette, Craig, Angie, Tom, Glenn & myself) DO. -SW
[Sophia Moffa Wrote:Hi there,I just wanted to let you know that I'm a huge fan of your work and I am going on to my 10th piece of SW! Keep up the great work! Your jewelery is amazing!

I DIE.

One of my favourite stylists [Rachel Zoe], has developed a cult following for her look, her reality show, and her dramatic turn of phrase. [US Harpers Bazaar] ask the question 'But what would happen if she really did DIE FOR FASHION?' This amazing shoot shows Zoe as the target when America’s top designers go in for the kill on her iconic saying, 'I Die'. AMAZING. - SW
