In this freestyle episode, following from my recent tip to Tokyo, I share tips on how to apply the thinking of Japanese philosophy Wabi Sabi to our existing wardrobes. In appreciating the aged, the irregular and the natural, Wabi Sabi offers us a great sustainable solution to understand our wardrobes in refreshing ways.

In episode 3 of season 13, I chat with Georgie Vicars, founder of Jamoo. Like’s the label’s name suggests, Jamoo and Georgie alike are one of a kind. Inspired by the Australian coast, Jamoo is a playful pastiche of the past presenting itself in patch-worked pieces put together from a legion of repurposed towels Georgie has hunted, hoarded and handpicked. While Georgie likes to live in a moment and may still be mapping out her ensuing adventures, Jamoo stands as a reflection of her free childhood spent barefoot on the beach and sailing in the pacific paired with her care for craft and her talent for textiles. Amped up by sustainable ethics and a reverence for all things retro, the fabric of Georgie’s style and her story is one that feels bold yet benevolent, carefree but kind, and both cool and warm all at the same time. 

In this freestyle episode, I share tips and stylist insider knowledge on how to rethink all those sequins coming out of our post-Swift era. I ruminate on how to tone down, add contrast and make our sequinned styles more wearable by offering ideas on suiting up, muting palettes, fabric fusions, shifting shapes, and keeping things simple.

In episode 2 of season 13, I chat with Camilla Schippa, a refreshing figure formidably marrying circular fashion practices with true social impact. A self-proclaimed migrant matriarch, Camilla is the CEO of The Social Outfit, a charitable organization whose mission is to empower refugee and new migrant women through employment and training in one fashion forward movement. Camilla’s story convinces us to think outside the square by not only understanding the power of freedom in our own self-expression but by refreshing our thinking around what real humanity in fashion can look and feel like. And while Camilla’s colourful style is not without it’s sparkle, she is the guiding light in leading a multitude of women towards their own opportunities to shine, with enough glitter and bejewelled glamour to make the whole place shimmer.

For the first episode of the new year, I chat with Charlotte Dallison, author, writer & vintage fashion aficionado. Charlotte’s recently released book, How to be Fabulous, not only dares us to defy trends but to refresh our personal styles by diving deep into the world of pre-loved clothing. By sharing her story, Charlotte provides a gracious guide on how to think about style, including how her take on manifestation helped refresh not only her style but her story. And while she still holds on to some of the small-town sentiments of her Christchurch upbringing, her desire to be fabulous and live a big life is sending her to Hollywood where her old world glamour and “Some Like it Hot” style will offer a refreshing change to Tinseltown.
