Young skier aims high for fundraiser
A Cromwell schoolboy is due to hit the slopes of Coronet Peak to ski the equivalent vertical height of Mt Everest twice to raise money for the Cancer Society during Daffodil Day on August 29. Cancer Society youth ambassador and enthusiastic skier Lochie Win, 11, had been doing a ski challenge each year since he was 6, after seeing how helpful the Cancer Society was when his mum, Rebecca, was battling the disease. Mrs Win has been cancer-free for six years. "Over these years, I've just been trying to help them out and pay them back," Lochie said. This year's fundraiser was called Conquer the Summit, and participants were encouraged to sign up and ski the equivalent vertical height of Aoraki/Mt Cook in one day. Participants could pick any other mountain of their choosing; Lochie chose Mt Everest as his goal. While Lochie is using Coronet Peak to attempt the challenge, others can take part at any skifield around the country. Lochie said he picked the target of two Everests because he wanted a challenge that he could fit in a day. In order to reach his target, Lochie will need to ski for 12 to 13 hours straight, eating and drinking during his downtime as he uses the ski lifts. To prepare, he has been skiing as much as he can. Lochie's dad, Luke, said those who signed up could be flexible with the goal and their fundraising target. People could sign up as an individual or a team and could also select where and how the Cancer Society used their money, he said. "It gives them a bit more of a feel that they're actually having control where their donation's going." People who were not taking part in the challenge could also contribute to the fundraising efforts by donating to a team or individual of their choice, Mr Win said. Mrs Win said it was about helping, doing what you could — even if it was a little. Many people in Central Otago have had to go to Dunedin or Christchurch for treatment, staying at the Cancer Society's Daffodil Houses, Mr Win said, including his own father. "So, Dad went to Christchurch, and he stayed at a Daffodil House in Christchurch. The ladies realised his last name, and said, 'oh, are you related to Lochie Win?'." Lochie's grandfather would call during his stay to pass on stories. "He rang and told me this while he was up there, and then they were like, 'oh, Lochie helped with this, you know'," Mr Win said Lochie said he was proud to see his efforts make a difference. When Lochie got tired, hungry or cold while out doing a challenge, he said the thought of helping people and helping them get better kept him going. He had not thought about working with the Cancer Society when he was older but would like to continue hitting the slopes each year to help keep raising money as the organisation's youth ambassador.

Urban Decay Appoints Lochie Stonehouse As Its New Global Makeup Artist In Residence
The New Zealand makeup artist was selected for the role by the boundary-pushing brand. For years, we've waxed lyrical about the calibre of creatives responsible for putting Aotearoa New Zealand on the map – the dedication to their craft cementing our reputation as a vibrant creative hub at the bottom of the world. One such creative is leading makeup artist Lochie Stonehouse, whose makeup fluency has drawn attention from some of the world's top brands. Now, the avant-garde makeup artist has been recognised by a brand as sharp and skilful as he is, with Urban Decay appointing Lochie as its new global makeup artist in residence. It's a milestone moment not only for Lochie, but for the New Zealand makeup industry as a whole, with countless artists quick to reply to the announcement post with their messages of support and excitement. A brief history Lochie cut his teeth at M.A.C, spending six years working alongside some of the country's most reputable artists, including Kiekie Stanners, Sarika Patel and Liz Hyun. He was later recognised by the global makeup powerhouse L'Oreal for his talent and was appointed as the director of artistry for L'Oreal Luxe, encompassing Lancôme, YSL Beaute and Giorgio Armani. His standout career has featured a raft of highlights, including creating bold beauty looks for celebrities on screen and stage, such as Lorde, Benee, Charli XCX, Rita Ora and Troye Sivan. He's directed New Zealand Fashion Week shows for the likes of Kathryn Wilson and Hailwood, and travelled the international Fashion Week circuit, which spans New York, Paris, London and Milan. Beyond this, he's developed close relationships with editors and been entrusted with dynamic beauty looks to cover the likes of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Inprint, Viva, Fashion Quarterly and more. In late 2024, Lochie shared his enviable collection of designer makeup with Vogue, which drew global attention. The next chapter But this most recent appointment is set to be a career-defining moment for the well-travelled artist. In a reel shared to social media, Urban Decay expressed excitement over the partnership and what this means for the future of the brand. 'Meet @lochiestonehouse, Urban Decay's new Global Makeup Artist in Residence, known for boundary-pushing editorial looks and anti-bland artistry that commands attention.

'He's not just here to represent the future of Urban Decay – he's here to create it.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Urban Decay Cosmetics (@urbandecaycosmetics) Positioned as someone able to rewrite the rules of makeup, Urban Decay described how Lochie's makeup artistry acts as a form of storytelling, expressing balance and confidence by pairing elements like graphic eyeliner with a neon lip with a barely-there base. The announcement was flanked by a series of tongue-in-cheek campaign videos featuring recognisable TikTok stars, including Ariel Kytsya, who boldly declared makeup is currently in its 'blandemic' era. Prepare for bold, expressive makeup to be put firmly back on the agenda, and with Lochie at the helm, we can't wait to see what's in store for the future.

Glasgow has a new Scottie dog trail - here's all you need to know
The Scotties in the City art trail for Maggie's cancer charity will see 50 beautiful sculptures brightening up streets across the city and its suburbs in 2026. At the end of the eight-week project, which was officially launched at the Trades Hall in Glasgow on Wednesday (June 18), the artworks will be auctioned off to raise money for Maggie's, who help families going through cancer treatment. (Image: Martin Shields) Hayley Smith, project manager for Scotties in the City at Maggie's, said: 'We hope this fun art trail, in partnership with Wild in Art, will play a key role in boosting the city's social, cultural and economic development and draw in visitors to experience the charm of our city. 'People travel far and wide to see art trails like this and many famous faces – such as Lorraine Kelly and Judy Murray - have bought sculptures from Wild in Art charity auctions in the past.' At the launch, which showcased Glasgow artist Douglas Roulston's sculpture Lochie, the charity put a call out for artists and sponsors to get on board. She added: 'Today's launch is a call out for businesses to get involved in sponsoring a giant Scottie sculpture, and a call out for artists to take part.' An educational programme will run alongside the project. Sixty schools can also apply for their own small Scottie, complete with resources and lessons pack, which they can design and decorate. The smaller sculptures will also form part of the art trail and be returned to the schools at the end. (Image: Martin Shields) Douglas said: 'I am honoured to introduce Lochie, the first big Scottie on the Glasgow trail for Maggie's. 'My artwork is inspired by the dramatic beauty of the Highlands and Islands. I have painted the beautiful landscape of Loch Lomond with Ben Lomond, the golf course, the loch itself and a few signature trees. 'Hidden on Lochie's chest is a heart shaped by the trees – a quiet reminder of strength, love and compassion which also sum up Maggie's and the great work they do in supporting families going through cancer.' Charlie Langhorne, managing director of Wild in Art, added: 'We are thrilled to be working with our friends and partners at Maggies on our first standalone trail in Glasgow. 'We are confident that our Wild in Art Scottie dogs will bring joy to both residents and tourists as they discover the trail and explore the city, and raise awareness and vital funds to support the invaluable work that Maggie's does to help people with cancer and their families.'
