Edwina McCann's Editor's letter for Vogue September 2019

Three beauties with uniquely Australian sensibilities and backgrounds – Margot Robbie, Adut Akech and Charlee Fraser – headline this September issue.

Margot is captured by photographer Mario Sorrenti and styled by her friend, fashion director Christine Centenera, on four collectable covers that are as diverse in personality as her characters are on screen. Quentin Tarantino, who directed her in the blockbuster film Once Upon a Time in … Hollywood, alongside Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, sat down with the actress for Vogue to discuss her meteoric rise to fame and quiz her about how she got there and where she came from – see page 188. Margot’s mum, Sarie Kessler, highlights her tenacity and individuality, which Sarie says was obvious from the beginning, in a touching conversation with her daughter, from page 200. What’s clear from both interviews is that Margot’s personality is infectious, and always has been, and her down-to-earth attitude shines through. Her dreams were hatched in sunny Queensland, which might also best describe her natural disposition, but her determination to succeed is a national trait. Yes, there’s also been the odd sprinkling of luck along the way, but then again she hails from the lucky country.
