Jamie Green didn't pick up a camera until 2017. Before that, he was building a social enterprise sleepwear label in Melbourne. A move to Byron Bay, photos of his wife for Instagram, and one brand asking "can you do that for us?" turned into a whirlwind career. He has shot campaigns

Styling for Prada, Cartier & Bvlgari: The Many Hats of a Celebrity Stylist with Jess Pecoraro
Jess Pecoraro didn't know what a stylist was until she walked into the Cosmopolitan fashion cupboard. By 23, she had worked her way through some of Australia's biggest magazines. Then she walked away from her dream job with no clients, no title and no safety net, betting she could build something bigger on her own. Today she's one of Sydney's most in-demand celebrity stylists and fashion brand con

Founder and Expert-Led Video Content: The Complete Framework for 2026

Why Fashion Still Chases Film: Inside Brydie Mack's World
Most photographers shooting fashion campaigns today work in digital, instant previews, instant safety net. Brydie Mack, known to her audience as Wolf Cub, doesn't.

In this episode, Brydie breaks down exactly what it takes

From Princess Diana to Kim Kardashian: How Joh Bailey Built Legacy and Relevance for 41 Years
"You can't afford to be an arsehole if you're famous; people talk about it too much." - Joh Bailey
Forty-one years ago, Joh Bailey opened a single Double Bay salon with one goal: to be number one.
