Thank you @vogueaustralia 🇦🇺 for featuring “Women Making Waves” and making my dreams come true. BEYOND my wildest dreams! What an honor 🙏🏼 “After pinching myself furiously, it felt a bit like coming home as an Australian living abroad,” says fashion executive and avid surfer Lara Einzig of her initial response to the news an extract from her remarkable new book, Women Making Waves, would feature in this issue (see page 62). “There’s never been a more important time to amplify women’s voices. Vogues’ acknowledgement of these incredible women’s stories that are shredding stereotypes and flipping paradigms makes me feel very excited about the future,” she says. “When we’re vulnerable and share our stories, we can break down barriers, so I’d like to think these stories have the power to shift the dial on some of the most pressing issues for women globally.” Big thanks to the supremely talented @serenalutton for the pictures taken at my favorite break, San Onofre, to my formidable PR team in Australia @charactercomms and the badassery that is @miriamweir 💙 Plus @oroton and @theonlypruethomas for the threads and @beachbeads_au for the baubles👌🏼 Thanks also to my friends for keeping my feet firmly on the ground by suggesting that at my age, this picture is this best I’m ever going to get! 😂 #alldownhillfromhere
