Rolex introduces a short film to celebrate coral revival

In line with the Swiss watchmaker's Perpetual Planet Initiative, Rolex presents Coral Gardeners – Restoring the Reefs, a short film about a vision to bring the world's reefs back to life. In the film, ocean champion Titouan Bernicot's Coral Gardeners organisation has just launched its latest branch in Thailand and he marked the occasion by welcoming legendary oceanographer and fellow member of the Rolex family of Testimonees Sylvia Earle. As the team continues to restore the reefs back to vibrant ecosystems, this vital area could become a Mission Blue Hope Spot. You can watch the film and learn more about this incredible work here

MECCA MAX has entered The Devil Wears Prada chat

Collaborating with Disney on a limited-edition beauty moment—because anyone fashion adjacent would be foolish not to jump in on the discourse right now—MECCA MAX has created a limited-edition lip duo which purports to offer the wearer the perfect red lip. The combo, aptly named Runway Red, pairs Pout Pop Matte Lipstick in ‘Personal Brand’ with Pout Pencil in ‘Stylish’ to master this most famous look.

Artist Sophie Prendergast is showcasing her latest works in Matakana

For Warkworth-based artist Sophie Prendergast, art right now is about creating something new from something else remembered. Her work, largely founded in sculpture, engages with the country's heritage architecture, reclaiming salvaged materials from demolished villas and bungalows across the city and reimagining our understanding of traditional weatherboard housing—and what this means for communities impacted by urban redevelopment. She will be exhibiting her works daily at Matakana's Charlies Gelato between April 15 and May 6, with an opportunity to meet the artist on Saturday, April 25 between 2pm and 4pm. 

Diamonds take flight in Graff's new Butterfly Campaign

For more than half a century, diamonds have remained central to the Graff story, in the myriad iterations of how they may appear. The butterfly has remained among the jeweller's most iconic and recognisable designs—perhaps for its rich symbolism and endless inspiration. After all, are butterflies not the most tangible understanding we have of renewal, optimism, and self-evolution? In Graff's eyes, as shown in the House's most recent campaign, there couldn't be a creature more beautiful or apt.
