It’s the issue that has come to mark many things — a celebration of Auckland and the people committed to making it a better place. A glamorous Black Tie Gala to toast to said folk in a deservingly fine fashion. The onset of winter and all the cold weather pursuits that go with it. Our 2018 Denizen Heroes tome is here, and it’s ready to heat things up.

The special homage to our four chosen Heroes begins with the unique covers; artist Joseph Qiu has forged each in paint, portraying them with the intrinsic nobility that is his hallmark. Following on from a special section dedicated to profiling them all — Mimi Gilmour, Nick Loosley, Deborah Smith and Brittany Teei — there is plenty of glamorous inspiration to be found in our shoot En Soirée. 

In keeping with the winter theme, almost our entire Navigator section is dedicated to snow-laden getaways, covering off ski fields both at home and abroad. In between, you’ll find titillating tidbits about what we’re eating, how we’re staying healthy, and where we’re going for entertainment during the cooler months. Putting the movers and shakers, givers and shapers in the spotlight, dare we say this just might be our best heroes issue yet.

Denizen’s 2018 Heroes issue has four different feature covers, one for each Hero. Pick a copy from a decent newsagent near you, or click here to subscribe.
