This is an article I wrote for a New York based digital-magazine, Reverie. The full link is listed below. Communication from fashion labels is no longer limited to a single billboard in Times-Square, a one-off editorial spread in your favorite magazine or seasonal launch at NYFW.   Online platforms like Instagram have allowed labels to tell more of a story about who they are and what they stand for. It’s something that was simply not an option in the aforementioned ‘older’ forms of communication. Increasingly, consumers are demanding transparency from fashion labels and want to know ..read more

  This article was published in Harper’s Bazaar (Australia) 4 Nov 2019. At 24, model and writer Lisa Cox got a rare infection that put her in a coma and left her with multiple disabilities. Here, she relates how she was forced to hit restart on her life, and how she is playing her part in the adaptive fashion revolution Model and adaptive-fashion advocate, Lisa Cox. Think of disability-friendly fashion and what usually comes to mind is clothes lacking any fit, form or style, like oversized tracksuits or hospital pyjamas.

Has COVID-19 turned the World upside down? For some of us, things have stayed the same.

This is a piece I wrote about my experience of the world since COVID-19 arrived. It was published in The Canberra Times in August 2020 and the full link is listed below. Here’s a controversial opinion. Isolation and quarantine isn’t really turning the entire world upside-down like we’re led to believe. Shutterstock image Now let me just stop right there and make an important distinction. I’m not talking about the virus itself – COVID-19 really is that bad and a lot of people are genuinely struggling. It’s heartbreaking to hear of job losses, increases in domestic violence a ..read more

Being Young and Healthy is NOT a Vaccine Against Illness.

In my early twenties, I was fit, healthy and generally felt pretty invincible… Until I literally died. (Yes, I’m one of the few people under 40 who is still using “literally” in the correct context). Obviously, I was resuscitated, which means I have an opportunity to tell this story and hopefully let it serve as a warning to others that youth is not a vaccine against Coronavirus. I was incredibly frustrated by the scenes at Bondi beach recently, when hundreds of Australians prioritised selfies in the sun over public safety by ignoring the government’s social distancing rules. But it’s not just ..read more

Does this ever happen to you? When I go shopping and pick up an item of clothing that I like, I often have to put it back down because of a small design detail (such as an awkward button or zip). Most times, I wheel out of the store without making a purchase. While that’s great for my bank balance, it’s bad for business. I’m just one person but multiply my experience by hundreds, thousands, even millions. That’s how many consumers are putting clothes back on the shelf or rack each week – All because of simple design details which could have been easily tweaked in the creative or manufacturing ..read more

Australian Fashion Week has again let us down and again, the world was watching. As it is home to Australian Fashion Week, Sydney could be regarded as our fashion capital. The annual event is an opportunity for homegrown designers to showcase their latest pieces and let the world know just how ‘on-trend’ the Australian fashion industry is. But this year, Sydney has again disappointing us on the world stage with a fairly predictable lineup of models and styles.  Instead, it’s little ol’ Brisbane that is leading the charge and (thankfully) letting the rest of the world know that we’re not a ..read more
