Kylie Minogue is the Australian singer and actress behind iconic mega hits like “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” (one of the greatest pop songs of all-time) and the GRAMMY-winning track “Padam Padam.” With songs going viral nearly forty years into her career, it’s no surprise that Kylie was recently named one of TIME Magazine’s Most Influential People. Last week she dropped “Lights Camera Action,” the lead single for her highly anticipated album Tension II (October 18th). Lucky for us, Kylie’s here to tell us what she’s been into.

MT Tape

Washi masking tape from Japan. It is SO high up on my travel packing, and general living, list. There aren’t enough emojis for all. The. Uses.

👢

Prada knee high boots

From I don’t know how many years ago. Their retail space in my suitcase is considerable, but I remain faithful to them. They are taupe / mushroom and manage to work any time of year bar peak Summer.

💡

Plug-in minisalt lamp

Makes every hotel room feel more warm and inviting. Also, I’m like a baby, I like a night light. Side note, I am definitely a frustrated lighting designer.

🟢

Fresh grated wasabi

Japanese horseradish. The real stuff, not the fake stuff. If you’ve never tried it, you’re missing out. Yashin Ocean House in Chelsea, London, take it wonderfully seriously!

👨‍🎤

David Bowie deep dive

Social media serves a smorgasbord of delicious Bowie snippets. He’s so cool, human, accessible, unreachable, iconic.

✍️

Doodling

Compulsive doodler? In certain situations, I totally am one! In fact, all is better with one’s preferred writing tool and paper, for countless reasons. Expressive writing, lists, more lists, love notes, post-it notes, letters, lyrics, on and on. No matter how small my bag is, I feel more complete with a pen and paper.

📸

Camp Snap camera

Designed by a father so his kids could take photos on camping trips without being distracted by phones. View-finder only, perfectly imperfect resolution. Digital, eventually. Old school look, feel and sound. Everyone smiles when they use it.

🍷

Kylie Wine

I’m so proud of this company and all our products. Pink, white, bubbles, no bubbles, alcohol, zero alcohol. All so good and I love orchestrating stealth Kylie Wine surprise gifting. Knock knock!

🎙️

Telefunken 251E

This mic has been like an extension of me for the last few years. I started self recording during lockdown and have never looked back. I graduated to this beauty and have cared for it with so much love as it is my portal to a song, to the vocals that will forever be out there. That, and also, it is truly a thing of beauty. I have become that person who wants to talk mics and kit.

👕

Favourite t-shirt

I’m a serial monogamist when it comes to t-shirts. Whichever one has made it out of hiding, it tends to be ’the one’ for seemingly ages until, for whatever reason, it changes. And then, that one is ’the one’. The current ‘one’ is an oldie: Keith Haring for Cotton On (Iconic Aussie brand). Pale pink, big and baggy. Note to self - don’t ruin or lose.
