Not Super. Woman Rebecca Bull & Zoe Weir

Bianca Spender is an esteemed Australian Fashion Designer, that has cemented herself and her namesake brand as a Fashion Icon for the last 16 years in the industry. Branching away from her late mother, Carla Zampatti, also a Fashion designer and established brand that is considered fashion royalty, to develop her own connection with design and share her deep connection with colour and creativity - Bianca uses her sound knowledge base to enrich and empower the women that don her designs, in a considered, socially conscious and liberating way.

Having two renowned and established parents, Carla Zampatti an Australian darling of Fashion and her late father, John Spender, a well respected Politician, Barrister and Diplomat, is a high bar for any child to reach for. Spending her childhood weekends and holidays in her mothers design studio helping count buttons or doing stocktake, to the freedom she experienced alongside her siblings in the hours after school when her parents were hard at work, might of been an opportunity to squander the early independence. But clearly through the example led, it afforded them growth and assisted them in calving out their own way.

Bianca’s curiosity to push past her family foundations and define her own way within the fashion world is a beautiful ode to honouring the teachings of our parents alongside the growth that comes with developing a strong sense of self. So we ask how do you weave a legacy left by your parents in with your own identity? And what does fashion mean to Bianca now knowing that the women who planted the seed of passion for her as a child, and that she walked alongside in the fashion world, has now gone?

Bec and Zoe recap on the interview the week prior, the impact it’s had on them as individuals, and how they both drew different ideas from their guest and implement changes in the endeavour to change it up, or give it a go.

Then there is always a ramble involved (usually by Bec) where they chat about what’s been happening and how they have or haven’t managed their current juggle, in their attempt to not be super, but a woman.

For a lot of women, fashion is fun.

It’s an opportunity to showcase who you are through what you wear. For other women, it can fall to the bottom of the priority pile for financial reasons or simply because there can be an overwhelming pressure that the women that wears the garment, has to fit within the marketed idea that fashion is for the beautiful, and a lot of the time, for the youthful. 

So we speak to Anthea O’Connor who has spent her career weaving fashion in many forms in with her family life. A committed 10 years at Vogue Australia, to TV Presenter for fashion shows such as “What Not to Wear” on 7 Network and ‘The Circle” on Network Ten, and now an established  Fashion Stylist. We talk about the evolution of fashion within her life as she evolves as a woman, and how the juggle of committing to a full-time career in fashion changed with the juggle of raising a family. How does a woman keep connected to who they are in each era of their lives, by what they wear? And how does a woman who continues to evolve, stay confident with their fashion, in a world where youth and beauty remains the aspiration?

Australian Survivor, a long running incredibly loved TV Series.

Loved for its heart thumping challenges, unbelievable (and at times seemingly unbearable) living circumstances for its players, and the endless unfolding drama from alliances and the double crosses of those trying to win at tribal council.

In this season of Titan’s Vs Rebels, Caroline Courtis entered the game - A 55yr old woman, mum of 3 and midwife, who was finally in a place in her life where she was ready to do something truly for her and test herself in the ultimate way.

47 days stranded in Samoa with 24 contestants, split into two tribes - ‘Titans’, a tribe made up of career leaders, and ‘Rebels’ a tribe made up of the free spirited who forged new paths, were lead to compete, then ultimately merge for the win, as the two tribes dwindled after each tribal council and Caroline made it to the final 2 and the final Tribal Council.

The question begs - who would want to push themselves like this? And what were the driving factors in the life before Survivor that pushed them to do so? Caroline was in a place where she had every right to sit back a little and smell the roses, but she didn’t, she chose to put the very so often benched middle aged women on our TV screens in one of the worlds hardest TV challenge games and push herself to her limits. Although being questioned by a fellow tribe member for ‘what she actually brought to the game’, Caroline managed to show the world the years of raising a family, being at the forefront of thousands of births and in a dedicated career care role, brought a strength, tenacity and resilience that only a wife, mum and woman in her 50’s could.
