Adelaide Lands Two Nods at the World’s Biggest Design Award
Adelaide has been quietly building some of the most interesting rooms on the map. Two local venues have entered the 2026 Restaurant & Bar Design Awards, the global competition every serious hospitality designer is angling to win.
In Standalone, it’s Huami at SkyCity, designed by Paring Onions, where Cantonese Opera theatrics have been reimagined for a Riverbank address. Dragon columns, glass tiles, and a 700-bottle wine wall set the scene before you’ve even sat down. In Rooftop, it’s Two Suns on Currie Street, designed by Pinnacle, playing an entirely different game. Think eighties Miami reimagined, all neon glow and an unbothered attitude built for golden hour.
Different rooms, different moods, different corners of the city entirely, but both proof that Adelaide’s design scene has serious range right now. The shortlist lands on August 10.

Shakespeare, Showgirls and Couture: Taylor Swift Shines in Paolo Sebastian
Taylor Swift turns literary drama into fashion magic in her new video, The Fate of Ophelia, wearing an unforgettable gown by South Australia’s own Paolo Sebastian. The couture piece from the 2024-25 Autumn/Winter collection, A Lover’s Kiss, is the Gilded Cage — an exposed corset cage gown adorned with hand-beaded paillettes and crystals, featuring heart-and-arrow motifs as a nod to Cupid and Psyche’s eternal devotion. The collection as a whole draws inspiration from literature’s greatest love stories, and couldn’t have been a more perfect fit for the video’s theatrical, showgirl-inspired vision. It’s a homegrown triumph and the perfect pairing of artistry and star power.
