    This month I had the opportunity to speak with Jordan Luck, New Zealand rock legend and all around great guy. Its always humbling when you speak with someone who has achieved the highest level in their chosen career, yet still remains down to earth and can appreciate the simple things in life, like a dry towel his most valued possession.

    Speaking of simple and towels, in this issue we focus on bathrooms. The stunning feature on page 24 will help you achieve the right look remember, less is more.

    Our house feature is a contemporary home in Edgeware through which we take a journey with the owners. From the devastation of the earthquake to the rebirth of their home, its a story that will resonate with many Christchurch homeowners.

    In our latest fashion editorial, we go backstage at the Isaac Theatre Royal for a Marilyn Monroe-inspired shoot. Leather, lingerie and fur combine to create this seasons opulent edit.

    Enjoy the latest Style,

    DeaDly Ponies The first Deadly Ponies concept store is now on display at Ballantynes Contemporary Lounge. With a focus on quality workmanship, designer and founder Liam Bowden has carved himself a niche in the industry. Deadly Ponies products stand the test of time. As an added bonus, all their bags are designed, sewn and dispatched in New Zealand. We love their new Black Ocean range, especially Mr Leopard in wisteria.

    O.G.B Bar and CafSet to open in the Old Government Building at 28-30 Cathedral Square this month, O.G.B Bar and Caf is the vision of two local Cantabrians. Nick Inkster and William Lepoutre have taken it upon themselves to pour a bit of heritage back into Christchurch. It has taken 14 months trying to cut the red tape! Good things take time and we wanted to get this right. We are here for a long time, Nick says. Every great city in the world has a memorable bar centred in the heart and this is what we are trying to achieve. As well as live music most nights and a drinks menu boasting great beers, cocktails, whiskeys, liquor and fine New Zealand wines, there will also be take-away coffee available from the bar window, which will look over the courtyard situated directly behind the ruins of the ChristChurch Cathedral.

    Wine MasterBob Campbell is one of New Zealands most acclaimed wine experts, part of an elite group holding Master of Wine qualifications. There are only 343 Masters of Wine wordwide, and, on top of this, Bob is also an accomplished writer, public speaker, chartered accountant and founder of The Wine Gallery. With New Zealand on a wine buzz this month due to Winetopia, we took the chance to ask for some advice from the master.

    What is currently an on-trend or socially acceptable wine to be drinking? I tend to drink what I like rather than following any convention, but here are a few thoughts on upward trends. Chardonnay is strongly back in fashion after being elbowed aside by pinot gris a few years ago. Thats a trend Im very pleased about. Sauvignon blanc continues its popularity, particularly in export markets where it leads by a huge margin from everything else. New varieties on the map include Albario, which I believe has a strong future in this county. The sparkling Italian wine, prosecco, continues to enjoy growing popularity with look-a-likes emerging to cash in on the trend.

    How important is the glass? Should we swap long-stemmed wine glasses for more contemporary tumblers? Glasses are very important. I estimate that the difference between drinking out of a good glass and a poor glass can contribute as much as 25% to the pleasure I get from drinking a glass of wine. I like to use large-bowled glasses that are fine (and not chunky). I marginally prefer stemmed glasses, but regularly use stemless glasses, which can often be more practical (easier to stay in the dishwasher). Like wine, the choice of glasses is a personal thing. Choose a shape that pleases you. I dont use separate glasses for red and white wine, preferring to put a little less wine in the glass when

    I drink white rather than using a smaller glass.

    How does alcohol content affect the taste of wine? Is there a perfect percentage? As alcohol increases it tends to make wine become more full-bodied, very slightly sweeter and it can make the texture slightly softer. However, excess alcohol can leave a slight burning sensation on the throat and give the wine a thread of hardness. The perfect alcohol level varies from wine to wine. Alcohol must be in balance with the other components in the wine.

    What is your view on the New Zealand wine industry? The New Zealand wine industry is remarkably healthy when compared with wine industries

    in many other countries. We are now the 13th largest wine-producing country in the world, having just overtaken Brazil and Greece. The prices we earn in most export markets are higher than just about every other country, which says a lot about the quality perception people have for our wine. We do quality (as opposed to quantity) very well. Our cool climate styles (fresh, bright, high-energy wines) are very much in vogue at the moment. Id like to see New Zealands wine regions devote more attention to improving the wine tourism experience with more restaurants at cellar doors and more innovative ways of show-casing our winemaking and viticultural methods.

    The bright sunshine of the Greek Islands swept in to Christchurch briefly, on a magical whirlwind of song and dance. The Isaac Theatre Royal was alive with excitement as the music of ABBA pulsed out through the old-yet-new palace of entertainment. The story of a brides search for her father romped along on a madcap progress, as a trio of likely candidates turned up to confuse proceedings even more. Hit after well-loved hit from the Swedish superstars lifted the spirits and bore the audience aloft on the fantasy ride. To the composers, Bjorn and Benny we can say, Thank you for the music, as the '70s are set to live on down through the decades.

    New ZealaNd Rock Royalty Jordan Luck

    after 16 years, Jordan Luck has released a new album, Not Only But Also, and is set to tour the country this month. He talks to Victoria Tait about the new album,

    his favourite music and his most important possession.

    Style | in profile 17

    Jordan luck is one of New Zealands pop legends, famous for being the frontman and writer for the exponents. He has had a staggering 18 top 40 singles over the years, with Victoria a personal favourite of mine recently voted by the public as the eighth greatest New Zealand song of all time. His song Why Does Love Do This To Me? has become the unofficial alternative to the New Zealand national anthem.

    Jordan has had the honour of being placed in the New Zealand Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and, in 2012, was appointed a Member of the New Zealand order of Merit for services to music.

    a true legend in his own right he now fronts the Jordan luck Band. the members of this band were hand-picked by Jordan, from a wish list he created.the new band comprises of Jordan luck on Vocals, Bryan Bell (ex-frontman of the dead Flowers) on Guitar, Beaver Pooley (formerly of d4) on drums, Rich Mixture (formerly of d4, dead Flowers and many more),

    and Joe walsh (frontman of ekko Park). It has been a long wait, but after 16

    years Jordan has just released a new album Not Only But Also. the album caused a bit of a media stir when the band announced they would get the New Zealand public to decide on its name. after much debating and the fact that every member of the band chose a different title, the name Not Only... But Also was finally decided upon by a secret vote. Jordan says he was drawn to the ambiguity of the title, and dick Frizzell brought the album to life with his cover design.

    Jordan tells Style the process he goes through when writing and finding lyrics for a song can be a mixture of personal experiences and stories that he might have heard. one of the songs is based on story I heard about murder in lake tekapo, and another is a funny one about a guy in hospital, Jordan says of the new album.

    the Jordan luck Band will be in christchurch at the carlton on May 23rd, to release their new album as part of New Zealand Music month.

    Real estate has its own annual rhythm and its about this time of year I start reacquainting myself with some of its finer points.Its the end of the financial year, the commencement of business planning and, for the brand Im associated with, conference time.

    Its surreal, stressful and strategic all at once, with the pressure really being applied to enter the new financial year refreshed and refocused. Which after a year of long hours and big results is not easy.

    Remaining relevant to your marketplace, engaged and committed takes planning and the kind of thought processes that keep you awake at night.

    I run the business planning sessions for our large team of consultants and because I want to fill the box, not just tick it. I put serious amounts of time and thought into my delivery. This year I utilised a relatively creative approach to the session incorporating the following truths. There

    are five of them and they are my feelings and thoughts after many years at the helm.

    1. Any plan is better than no plan at all We all know the statistics that sit behind this statement and these can be readily accessed using Google. Basically they establish that there is a wide gulf between having a formal written plan and no plan at all. Completing a plan and following it positively correlated with business success and for many this flows on to personal success too.

    2. I know one plan does not fit all

    Plans can be long, short, elaborate or simple. Over the years Ive had to do some plans that were so complex you needed a PhD to navigate them (hopeless). But the main aim for me as I dealt with my large group of attendees was providing a framework that got most, if not everyone thinking. Any trainer will tell you its almost impossible to engage everyone every time. So I go for as much participation as possible and I did remind them that there were

    some good take-home points of value so it was best to be alert to them.

    3. We can all be open to being better

    Better people, realtors, partners, siblings, parents, etc. and putting time aside to determine how to do this makes us better human beings. So I always include this as one of my personal truths.

    4. None of us has to be here

    Including me! So if were together, lets bring our best selves.

    5. Our dreams fuel our outcomes

    Having the right dreams, goals or purpose is like having rocket fuel in the tank. Its just a matter of identifying them and for most people thats one of the hardest things to do.

    So there you are, thats the framework. Now all Im waiting for are the results!

    Enjoy this warm, lingering autumn as anyone who watches Game of Thrones will tell you winter is coming.

    The Man behind The Music Who are some of your favourite composers, musicians and bands from the past and present? I have a very broad taste in music and really listen to everything, if I had to choose favourites Graham Brazier and Shona laing.

    Is there a particular song or musical passage that never fails to move you? I constantly have songs that come into my head and stay around me for a few days, Splinter song Costafine Town came into my head this morning and Peter and The Wolf.

    How would you describe your perfect day? every day.

    What is the favourite song you have ever written? Finesse. Its on the new album and is about selling paintings down in Southland.

    What is your most valued possession? a dry towel.

    Who would you be nervous to meet? an audience that I hadnt rehearsed for.

    If you could blink your eyes and be in a favourite place right now, where would that place be? at the waterfall at te Moana Gorge, just out of Geraldine.

    Is there something you would like to do more of in the future? Ice-skating. And definitely more live touring.

    Where would you like to find yourself in 10 years? Having another interview with Style magazine.

    Happily ever afterKaren Pasco meets Ian, Aaron and Billie at their stunning home in Edgeware,

    which was destroyed by the earthquake and rebuilt with passion and style.

    pHotograpHy chArlIE jAckson

    a statue rests serenely in the garden of ian Martin and aaron orchard. the tranquil expression on its face is one saying all is right with the world.

    this artwork was wounded in february 2011, when the earthquake struck. the 1000kg monument thrown to the ground as liquefaction bubbled nearby.

    ian and aarons property, which they share with ruler-of- the-roost Jack russell Billie, was, like many in town, deemed a rebuild giving the couple the opportunity to rethink the property and its influence on how they lived their lives.

    to ensure they got this new environment essentially the best it could be, they enlisted the services of architectural designer tobin Smith from Colab architecture.

    originally the house footprint was 140sqm, but in order to accommodate a second bathroom and study they increased it to 165sqm to create a magnificent two-bedroom, two-bathroom plus study home that is open, spacious, light, beautiful and interesting.

    the interest comes in the distinctive aspects designed for them; the full-height window in the master bedroom that elongates the room and allows a sneak peek of the deck area, and the splashback window over the induction stove top that frames their statue perfectly from the inside, but also creates a quirky mid-height window outside. the study has recessed doors, which can be closed to create a third bedroom or private area when required, and the artwork a combination of contemporary needlepoint, a grandfather clock, an original piece of slate from the roof of the ChristChurch Cathedral, African artifacts, pottery, glass and graffiti art by Guy Ellis all combine to ensure this home is a place in which they love to live.

    throughout the home, ceilings have been raised to 2570mm to eliminate the oppressive feel of wide spaces with shortened height. two walls of bifolding doors in the open-plan dining area can be opened up to create a massive entertaining space and let the air flow through on a hot summers day.

    Georgina McCormack looks at how to create a more dramatic mood within your bathroom.

    Via fondazza Vases by skultuna

    A bathroom does not have to be a dead end. It should be a space that you enjoy and one that enhances your home.

    There is the opportunity to create a more dramatic mood with bold materials like marble think vanities, baths, and entire walls. If the budget does not allow for such luxuries, include accessories such as candlesticks and toothbrush holders to introduce that marble feel.

    The cold nature of bathrooms can be offset by the inclusion of accessories, or a flash of colour. People often underdress their bathrooms; try layering candles alongside a vase filled with fresh flowers, and anything from beauty brands who value design.

    Lewis & Wood Fabrics, Adams Eden, col. Taupe, 100% Linen. Made in England.

    I like rooms to be charming and traditional but always with a sense of the unexpected. For established country homes I often look to Lewis & Wood or Colefax and Fowler for fabrics. Both fabric houses produce traditional classics as well as modern alternatives.

    Peter Dunham Textiles, Samarkand, col. Blue/Green on White. Made in USA.

    I adore Peter Dunham Textiles. His California cool prints are terribly good for interiors and exteriors and very in vogue (literally).

    Interior designer Jessica Close provides advice on how to effectively design window furnishings.

    FaBrIC Love

    I was taught very early on to start design with colour and curtains, and once you had that right everything else flows on from there. Curtains frame a room, and done correctly, are worth every penny.

    I am so over walking into homes with white walls and every shade of beige. or worse, white roller blinds. Window furnishings are an opportunity to develop a point of view, and a cohesive story. I love using pattern on pattern; the more layering you do the calmer a room becomes.

    With this in mind, I currently favour large prints and am unashamedly obsessed with Bennison Fabrics. The collection of prints and colours is extraordinary and feature heavily in one of my upcoming interior projects. I tend to pull entire schemes together by picking out tones and colours from the curtain fabric.

    If you arent quite ready to tackle pattern, plain linens, felts or wools can look incredibly smart unlined and with a trimming along the leading edge.

    There is nothing quite like

    a trimming to finish a curtain, Claremont is the best. Its library of fringe, cord, pom-poms, braids and ropes is second to none. George Spencer Design also stocks heavenly options. For a more affordable alternative, see Zoffany.

    You can have almost as much fun selecting a heading as you do fabric. My default heading is a classic French pleat, probably because I habitually use curtain poles and rings and I think this looks best. If you can afford to spend the money, and your room can take it, a pelmet can look quite wonderful and adds so much to the complete look.

    each room in your home will demand curtain length consideration for various reasons. Unless you have a frightfully grand home I dont let curtains pool, but rather break on the floor. A short curtain is very tricky to pull off, they mostly just look sad dangling in midair.

    once installed, resist the temptation to open up your curtains for a week or so, rather leave them wrapped so that the pleats keep as the fabric settles.

    A home might be warm and dry, but as we transition from summer to winter there is that lack of cosiness to our homes. By following a few simple steps you can enhance and create more warmth within your home.

    Roll out the RugsHardwood floors and tiles are brilliant during the summer months, but come winter, your feet are likely to feel a little different. Using large rugs in the main areas of your home will help to insulate a room and keep your

    feet warm. The textured look of a rug will also add a feel of cosiness to a room.

    Add textuReJust as you do with winter fashion, creating warmth in your interiors is all about adding texture.

    In your bedroom, swap your summer duvet for a thick, plush winter one, then finish the look with layers of throws and cushions.

    Invest in good-quality throws. Choose a few that match the dcor in your home, and then

    literally throw them over couches and beds. The more they look like you just dropped them on the couch or bed, the better they look hence the name throw! There is a great range of cosy faux-fur throws on the market this winter, too.

    If you dont already have one, get a footstool. If you have one, recover it in durable thick fabric we love a good tartan print.

    let the light in When sunlight passes through the glass of your window it bounces

    off your walls and furniture, and gradually turns into heat. This heat will make a big difference to the temperature of your home. To make the most of it, open your blinds or curtains in the morning, and close them back up at night.

    Lighting is important to set the scene. A few lamps dotted around living spaces will provide the relaxed, low-level lighting ideal for such areas. Add sparkle at night-time with fairy lights, and some flickering candles for an intimate feel.

    NoW ThAT The heATINgs oNAt the first taste of winters chill, we start preparing for hibernation. Adding warmth to your home, however, is not just about choosing the right heating, but also the creation of a scrumptious winter haven that invites you to hunker down with creature comforts.

    When comes the season to be wed, the place to go is Wilkins in Moorhouse Avenue, where a customer evening was held of late. As they entered, guests were welcomed by an array of beautiful gowns displayed eye-catchingly. Superwhite, ivory and subtle shades tempted not only prospective brides but maids, matrons and mums as well. As the long shafts of evening sun caressed the silk and satins, the pastel-covered chaise longue glowed invitingly peachy and the light spun off the mirror, offsetting the opulent boutique. The seemingly endless cavalcade of edible and drinkable delights refreshed the browsers whilst dresses were fitted and paraded, as the warm twilight lingered.

    Lighting is important to set the scene. A few lamps dotted around living spaces will provide the relaxed, low-level lighting ideal for such areas. Add sparkle at night-time with fairy lights, and some flickering candles for an intimate feel.

    NoW ThAT The heATINgs oNAt the first taste of winters chill, we start preparing for hibernation. Adding warmth to your home, however, is not just about choosing the right heating, but also the creation of a scrumptious winter haven that invites you to hunker down with creature comforts.

    When comes the season to be wed, the place to go is Wilkins in Moorhouse Avenue, where a customer evening was held of late. As they entered, guests were welcomed by an array of beautiful gowns displayed eye-catchingly. Superwhite, ivory and subtle shades tempted not only prospective brides but maids, matrons and mums as well. As the long shafts of evening sun caressed the silk and satins, the pastel-covered chaise longue glowed invitingly peachy and the light spun off the mirror, offsetting the opulent boutique. The seemingly endless cavalcade of edible and drinkable delights refreshed the browsers whilst dresses were fitted and paraded, as the warm twilight lingered.

    Poker was the name of the game, and black and white the theme, as deep beneath the Christchurch Casino, Lady Luck was flirted with. The Mashina Lounge was the venue in which, drenched in mystery, hands were dealt and cards laid on the table. Many charities were to benefit from the shuffling and steely-eyed mind-messing when bets both careful and reckless were made, to win or lose on the whim of fortune. In the dark, sultry saloon, no matter which way the cards fell, all present were winners as the act of giving proved to be the greatest prize of all.
