A creative director’s week in fashion marketing

1 week ago | fashionjournal.com.au | Izzy Wight |Daisy Henry

“I’m drawn to pieces that feel effortless but still carry weight – clothing that doesn’t shout but says something when you’re paying attention.” The role of a creative director is famously elusive. There’s endless internet discourse, TikTok explainer videos and even an entire meme page (@dankartdirectormemes, for the uninitiated) centred around trying to decode what these all-encompassing creative roles actually entail. Is it content creation? Brand building? Strategic planning?
The modern wardrobe staples a stylist turns to each year

3 weeks ago | fashionjournal.com.au | Izzy Wight |Daisy Henry

“Honestly, the coat could be the whole outfit if you have the right boot to go with it.” At the risk of sounding terribly Melbournian, it seems to only be getting harder to dress weather-appropriately. Thankfully, by this time of the year, the sun has lost its scorching bite, but in its place are fluctuating days of chilling wind, muggy heat and sprinkling rain. Sometimes, all three at once. As a stylist, being a master of all-season dressing comes with the profession.
A week of outfits with creative Melbourne couple, Justin Lim and Tisha Adey-Lim

Busy days punctuated by coffee dates and market trips. It’s no surprise that a contemporary creative role is rarely one-note. These days, even the most traditionally linear of career paths seem to acquire an extra hyphen at some point (eg, lawyer-fashion-content-creator, author-presenter-podcaster). Melbourne couple Justin and Tisha Adey-Lim have just added the most important hyphen of all to their resumes – they’re parents to a newborn.
Can Pilates improve my sex life? I asked an expert

1 month ago | fashionjournal.com.au | Izzy Wight |Isabella Wight

“By reducing stress and anxiety in the mind and the body, you foster a level of relaxation and create a more conducive environment for intimacy.” When it comes to a satisfying sex life, there are a myriad of factors that come into play. First and most obviously, ‘good’ sex is subjective – what blows your mind may leave much to be desired for someone else.
19 Fashion Journal readers share how they feel about period sex

1 month ago | fashionjournal.com.au | Izzy Wight |Isabella Wight

“I feel super in touch with my femininity and womanhood when I’m on my period, so having sex at this time is super empowering.” If we’re in the age of sex positivity, why is the period shag still so taboo? While the internet has opened up conversations about sex, gender and our bodies more than ever before, there’s still a stigma around getting it on during menstruation.
I do: Australian jewellers share the favourite engagement ring they’ve made

2 months ago | fashionjournal.com.au | Izzy Wight |Isabella Wight

Something old, something new. Whether you’re a hopeless romantic or a marriage sceptic, you have to admit – the concept of an engagement ring is pretty special. Imbued with meaning and the promise of a blissful forever, an engagement ring is the ultimate investment piece. Whether it’s crafted from repurposed family jewels or custom-built from lab-grown gemstones and polished gold, an engagement ring should be made by someone you trust.
I’ve been to Pitch five times, here’s why I keep going back

2 months ago | fashionjournal.com.au | Izzy Wight |Georgina Woolcock

“After five years, Pitch really does feel like a homecoming.” I used to think that people who described festivals as ‘transformative’ were exaggerating. My previous experiences with multi-day camping affairs had only left me feeling tired, foggy and viscerally unshowered, often wondering if the whole endeavour was really worth all the trouble.

Jan 20, 2025 | fashionjournal.com.au | Izzy Wight |Georgina Woolcock

This is your sign. It’s the beginning of a new year, which means it’s time to take action on those long-formed plans for 2025. We’re not talking about vague resolutions like decluttering your miscellaneous kitchen drawer or buying fewer $9 iced lattes (though these are probably good ideas). We’re talking about making transformative, big-picture moves – like kicking off your career in the Australian fashion industry.
What’s it like being in an age-gap relationship?

Dec 2, 2024 | fashionjournal.com.au | Izzy Wight |Isabella Wight

“I felt pressure to prove I wasn’t ‘there for his money’… it was funny because I never saw, or expected, a cent from him.” Between Leo DiCaprio’s 25-and-under dating history and the recent backlash from Billie Eilish’s 31-year-old beau, age-gap relationships are a big topic of discussion – and opinions are divided. Interested to hear how others navigate the world? Head to our Life section. But what do age-gap relationships look like outside of the celebrity sphere?
What is the 'corpcore’ aesthetic and why is it surging in popularity?

Nov 27, 2024 | fashionjournal.com.au | Izzy Wight |Georgina Woolcock

If ‘office siren’ was a hyperfeminine take on corporate dressing, corpcore is its masculine counterpart. In the age of business-casual, hybrid work-from-home schedules and hotdesking, classic office attire can almost feel like a novelty. Yes, corporate dress codes very much still exist. But in a post-girlboss world, there seems to be less appeal to ‘dress for the job you want’. Instead, we’re often prioritising comfort, ease and personal style in our everyday work wardrobes.
