"**Shanina Shaik & Chip, April 2015**    **Tom Lazarus, chief subeditor**   Aside from Shanina's powerfully smouldering look paired with Chip the koala's unknowable animal gaze, I love the bold statement of Australianness, from the choice of cover stars to the dappled greens of the bush backdrop that make the indigo dress pop so vividly, to the cover lines (""Home & Away""; ""Quentin Bryce""). Also, the way Shanina is holding Chip exactly as you would a six-month-old, tenderly and protectively. You instantly get that it's Australia, and that Shaik is the new face of modern Australian beauty. A definite moment.    **[Alexandra English, deputy chief subeditor](https://www.instagram.com/alexxiii/
