Cosmopolitan Australia magazine has made its return to the Australian market, launching its first issue back today with a cover featuring multi-award-winning artist Tones And I.
The title returns under publisher Katarina Kroslakova and her publishing house, KK Press, in collaboration with Hearst Magazines International.
In an exclusive interview, Tones And I speaks about her journey from busking in Byron Bay to global stardom with her song Dance Monkey. She also tells the title about her new album, vulnerability, fame, abusive relationships, and nostalgia.
Tones And I said she was “so excited to have been selected for Cosmo coming back to print as their cover artist/creative/woman, for Cosmopolitan’s first issue.”
“To be here representing such a big moment in Cosmopolitan magazine is truly an honour,” she said.
“I am extremely privileged and excited to be a part of something that really helped my upbringing – I was definitely a Cosmo reader as a teen.”
Cosmopolitan Australia debuts with a blend of content spanning style, beauty, technology, relationships, entertainment, and career and financial advice.
Issue one features include:
• Sealed section: Sex positivity takes centre stage, with the sealed section making its return with expert tips from sexologist Chantelle Otten.
• Finance: Cosmo has launched an investigation around why women are often underpaid to do ‘prestigious’ jobs, inspired by the recent global remuneration reveal of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
• Relationships: Alongside love stories from everyday people, artist and model Sarah Ellen and her best friend, artist Josh Kemper, share how their creative passions brought them closer.
On Cosmopolitan Australia’s comeback issue, editor-in-chief Tessa Ogle said: “We are so happy to reintroduce Cosmopolitan to Australia with a renewed vision and exhilarating new content.
“Readers can look forward to inspiring stories, fashion-forward features, and insightful advice. And who better to lead this charge than the unstoppable Tones And I, as she openly discusses her extraordinary evolution.”
