CURTAIN CALL • Baz Luhrmann’s films have always said something of the mood of the moment, even as they return bygone worlds to life. Revisiting the director’s era-spanning cinematic masterpieces is a showcase of visual styles that, made in a forward-facing spirit, endure.

ALWAYS ON OUR MIND • Throughout their creative careers, Baz Luhrmann and his wife and collaborator, Catherine Martin, have maintained a long and luminous relationship with Vogue both in Australia and internationally. In celebration of their latest collaboration, Natasha Inchley catches up with the visionary double act to look back over the magazine archives and take a deep dive into their cinematic world.
