MAXIM Australia October 2022

For the past 20 years, luxury yacht builder Overmarine Group have established themselves as high captains in the industry – with elite-performance superyachts like their Mangusta Maxi Open line. Mangusta’s new 32 metre sport yacht, the Mangusta 104 REV, is Italian built, Russian designed, and inspired by a British car – all of the above. The sporty lines of the boat were designed by renowned designer Igor Lobanov and inspired by 1930s sports cars. “As a car designer I see Mangusta lines as having something quite automotive about them, a bit like a Jaguar with a long bonnet and a nice shape” he says. Seeing in a new era of Mangusta Maxi Open yachts, the floor-to-ceiling windows, aggressive curved profile, and open entertaining space, are all designed with Mediterranean cruising and partying…

“I think sharing stories is the best way to develop understanding, spread kindness and open hearts in the world.” Qulaity photo shoot, Dani. Tell us a bit about it. The idea for my shoot came from wanting to create a relaxed, easy-going, yet sporty look to encompass the Floridian vibe. It took place at Honeymoon Island State Park in Dunedin, Florida U.S.A. – one of my favourite places due to their preservation efforts to protect our Loggerhead and green sea turtles, multiple shorebirds, bald eagles and even gopher tortoises. Give us a little more background about yourself and story so far. Growing up, I always had a love for the arts and I immersed myself into all things acting, singing, modelling, writing and creating throughout my youth. I was also born with a heart…

I pulled in behind the law, hyper-caffeinated and jittery, my circadian rhythm still fast asleep in New York City. Somewhere at the back of my lizard brain, a murmuring about not having any number plates. And this perhaps not being smart. My copilot was a chipper young Brit ready for whatever the day would bring. And what it brought first was the Metropolitan Police pulling us over to ask on what planet we thought driving around central London with no license plates was acceptable. Needless to say the planet was the one from whence the $1.3 million David Brown Speedback GT I was driving emanated. The feline PR girl who had dropped the keys into my hands not 15 minutes earlier had assured me that the number plate thing would not…

Hello, Tessa, congrats on your first MAXIM cover. How do you feel? Thank you! I feel great, I’m super excited for everyone to see the photos. It’s my first time shooting in my new L*SPACE collection, which released on September 15. I love how these pieces make me feel – empowered, strong and beautiful – I can’t wait for my followers to wear them and embody these same traits. Tell us about more about your L*SPACE collection. I love getting creative and designing pieces that are stylish, unique, and fit perfectly. Developing my own swim line with L*SPACE was a dream come true, and it was the perfect chance to connect with my followers and give them insight into how I style looks and curate wardrobe choices. Moving from swim to my athletic-inspired…

BALMAIN TIGERS VS CANBERRA RAIDERS SYDNEY FOOTBALL STADIUM: SEPTEMBER 24, 1989 Canberra’s quest for its maiden premiership, coupled with Balmain seeking its first title in 20 years and not wanting back-to-back grand final defeats, suggested the 1989 grand final would be eye-catching. Little did anyone know that it would be described as arguably the best ever rugby league grand final. It was intriguing enough that Balmain had come third and Canberra fourth, with minor premier Souths and the second-placed Penrith not managing any victories in the playoffs. After Cronulla convincingly beat Brisbane in a play-off for fifth, the Tigers and Raiders were the only victorious teams in the remaining five finals before the decider. Balmain required two victories while Canberra needed to win three consecutive do-or-die matches, after winning its last five matches…

Alexa Does The Derby might sound more like an OnlyFans promotion, but unless the idea of riding semi wild horses across 1,000 km of Mongolian steppe gets you going, I’m sorry to disappoint. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Mongol was the nerve system of the largest empire in human history, and at its height, Genghis Khan’s mighty horse messenger system connected half the planet. Over the last decade this ancient network has been rebuilt to stage the world’s greatest equine adventure – the Mongol Derby. Each rider squares up to 1,000 km of Mongolian steppe on semi-wild horses, changing feisty steeds every 40 km. You navigate and survive on your own wits and skill, living amongst the herders carrying only five kilograms of what you deem absolutely necessary. For 10 days, it’s…
