It’s RUSSH’s 20th anniversary year – here’s how we’re celebrating 20 years of independent publishing

In celebration of RUSSH's 20th anniversary year, we're continuing our commitment to, and honouring of our growing community of creative minds.

From intimate supper clubs hosted inside some of Australia's leading gallery spaces, to dancefloor memories and an opportunity for emerging writers to have their work featured in RUSSH, join us as we celebrate two decades of independent publishing.

Inside the 'RUSSH' Apartment for our inaugural Beauty Annual issue launch

The sun was only just beginning to set, but the night had already come alive inside the RUSSH Apartment, tucked into the corner of Challis Ave in Potts Point on Friday.

'Becoming' is not just a word; it's a journey, an ongoing process of self-realisation and empowerment.

The original vision for our first ever Beauty Annual, this special issue with CHANEL sees us interpret ‘Becoming’ – a version of beauty that is accessible to all.

The evening started at Three Rooms, where guests including actor Mel Jarnson, models Montana Cox and Yasmin Suteja joined hosts Jess Gomes and Jess Blanch.

From nearly 200 submissions, three winners were identified and published in our May Ideas issue – Becca Wang, our Judge's Choice winner, and both Tori Watts and Sohani Goonetillake, our People's Choice winners.
