“For Charlene, life has been a relentless pursuit of something greater.” Charlene Davies is here to work. It’s the last leg of her full-day photoshoot with Fashion Journal and we’re gathered at the final location in Brunswick, ready to finish off a very productive – yet strangely relaxed – day. Charlene is a 43-year-old artist, model and the founder of jewellery brand, Culturesse. But if you took a cursory glance at her Instagram profile, you might mistake her for a wildly successful influencer.
