'Going back to my roots': Aussie supermodel Jess Hart says she wants to raise her children, Baby-Rae and Glorious, in Ballarat after decades overseas
Australian supermodel Jess Hart has revealed she plans to return home and raise her children in Australia, after spending more than two decades living abroad. The 39-year-old, who was born in Sydney and raised in Melbourne, has lived overseas since she was a teenager, first moving to Paris at age 15 to pursue her modelling career after winning Dolly magazine's Model Search in 2000. Hart's career took off quickly, with high-profile campaigns for brands including Victoria's Secret, Guess, L'Oréal, Louis Vuitton and Max Mara. She's graced the pages of Vogue and Sports Illustrated, and called cities like London, New York and Los Angeles home. But now, with four-year-old daughter Baby-Rae, three-year-old son Glorious, and 11-year-old stepdaughter Wren in tow, Hart says she's preparing to lay down roots back in Victoria. "I want my children to be half-Australian and half-American- not just Americans with Australian passports," she told Harper's Bazaar. "I want them to be immersed in Australian culture and grow up the way we did." The supermodel, known for her cheeky gap-toothed grin, is reportedly eyeing a permanent base near Ballarat in regional Victoria- the same area where her late mother Rae's family once lived. Rae tragically died in January 2023 after a battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disorder formerly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. "It would make my mum so happy," Hart said. "[The region is] where her family had homes. I'm going back to my roots, my heritage." She also revealed she's currently exploring schooling options that would allow the family to split their time between both countries. While it's unclear whether Hart and her longtime partner, American NASCAR driver James Kirkham, are still together, she's made no secret of her desire to reconnect with Australia. In September, Hart starred in a Qantas campaign alongside First Nations model Charlee Fraser, with creative direction from Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin. When asked what she misses most about home, Hart quickly responded: "My friends and family." More recently, the supermodel shared a string of sweet snaps from her trip back to Australia on Instagram, including time spent at Sydney's Crown with her children. "Three little monkeys…. Just busy creating winter memories in Australia," she captioned the post. She also made an appearance at Australian Fashion Week in May, opening the Bianca Spender show to the delight of fashion insiders.

Guess co-founder Paul Marciano: 'In fashion, every day is a challenge'
Published June 18, 2025 At its opening ceremony on Tuesday, June 17, the Florentine men's fashion trade show awarded the "Pitti Immagine Uomo 2025 Prize" to Guess, in the presence of Paul Marciano, who co-founded the American jeans brand with his brothers in 1981, and his son Nicolai, representing the new generation within the explained how the brand got off the ground with the opening of a boutique in Florence. This was the brand's first location in Europe, enabling it to draw inspiration from Italian style and, above all, to accelerate its expansion to reach sales of $3 billion (just over 2.7 billion euros). On the sidelines of the press conference, the entrepreneur spoke to about the keys to his success and his vision of today's fashion market. Paul Marciano at the Pitti Uomo award ceremony - ph DM What's it like running a fashion company? Paul Marciano: Every day is a challenge, but every day is exciting, in the sense that you always find a solution. In fact, there are challenges in everything, with customs duties, with international conflicts, and so on. What's new today? There's nothing new! It's always been that way since the company's inception. One day there's a crisis with the banks, another with the market, another with a war. We adapt. We always say 'we adapt and we manage'. That's what the fashion business is all about. But it's not easy every day. You have to be careful and well aware of all the daily challenges. Ads FNW: What's the most important thing to keep going? PM: The most important thing for me is always to maintain and protect the people who work around you. Human capital is the real value of a company. The product is important, but for me, the people who run the company are the most important element because they are the soul, the heart of the business. Without that soul, you get nowhere. FNW: How do you see the fashion market at the moment? PM: The context is still complicated. There's still a new war that exploded three days ago. But in the end, it's like this every day. When one crisis ends, another begins. I think that despite everything, fashion will keep its place. People will continue to be interested in fashion if you remain loyal and faithful to your brand. You mustn't think you can do everything for everyone. You can't. It doesn't exist. We have to stay close to our consumers, ask ourselves why they come to buy our brand, stay true to our principles, and keep the momentum going. Copyright © 2025 All rights reserved.

Hain Celestial, Guess, IAC, First Watch, and Levi's Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know
A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the major indices rebounded (Nasdaq +1.5%, S&P 500 +1.0%) as reports pointed to easing tensions between Israel and Iran. The Wall Street Journal said senior Iranian officials had signaled a willingness to restart stalled nuclear talks, on the condition that Washington refrain from joining Israel's ongoing strikes. This development triggered a significant decline in oil prices, easing inflation concerns. Also, it is possible some investors were buying the dip following the sell-off at the end of the previous week. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Shelf-Stable Food company Hain Celestial (NASDAQ:HAIN) jumped 6.8%. Is now the time to buy Hain Celestial? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Apparel and Accessories company Guess (NYSE:GES) jumped 5.3%. Is now the time to buy Guess? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Digital Media & Content Platforms company IAC (NASDAQ:IAC) jumped 5.7%. Is now the time to buy IAC? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Sit-Down Dining company First Watch (NASDAQ:FWRG) jumped 5.3%. Is now the time to buy First Watch? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Apparel and Accessories company Levi's (NYSE:LEVI) jumped 5.1%. Is now the time to buy Levi's? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Hain Celestial's shares are extremely volatile and have had 50 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 10 days ago when the stock gained 6% after the major indices rebounded, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics report revealed a resilient labor market with non-farm payrolls rising by 139,000 in May 2025, significantly above the consensus forecast of 125,000. Notably, a stable labor market often supports consumer spending, which is a key driver of economic growth, which means the report could help ease some of the recession fears that gripped markets. The data also supported the soft landing narrative, where the Fed can manage inflation toward its 2% target without significant damage to the economy. Hain Celestial is down 71.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $1.72 per share, it is trading 81.1% below its 52-week high of $9.09 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Hain Celestial's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $55.73. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
