	28 Oct 2020	Lisa Messenger- The vibrant game-changing founder and CEO of Collective Hub - "Diversify your revenue streams and future proof your business"	01:03:30
In this episode Elizabeth speaks with Lisa Messenger. Lisa Messengeris the vibrant, game-changing founder and CEO of Collective Hub, an international speaker, best-selling author, and an authority on disruption. She launched Collective Hub as a print magazine in 2013, with no experience in an industry that people said was either dead or dying. Within 18 months that print mag was in 37 countries. Collective Hub has since grown into an international multimedia business and lifestyle platform with multiple verticals across print, digital, events and education – all of which serve to ignite human potential. Five years and 54 issues into the print magazine Lisa made the courageous move to “break” the very thing that she started enabling her to iterate and pivot into something far more sustainable and vast reaching. Lisa’s experience has seen her produce over 400 custom-published books for companies and individuals as well as having authored and co-authored 28 herself. Most notably, Lisa chartered her ride to success with her bestselling book Daring & Disruptive: Unleashing the Entrepreneur and its sequels Life & Love: Creating the Dream, which reached number-one on Booktopia; Money & Mindfulness: Living in Abundance, that shot to best-selling status within the first month; Breakups & Breakthroughs: Turn an Ending Into a Beginning. She then wrote Purpose and Risk & Resilience – the Breaking and Remaking a Brand. In 2020, Messenger is again bucking the status quo to explore how you can be at the top of your game – without an office or a cubicle in sight. Her eight book in the series Work from Wherever: How to set yourself free (and still achieve) details in her classically candid style how the entrepreneur and fast-talking founder of the Collective Hub has rebounded and rebranded, after breaking and remaking the business of her dreams. She is currently highly sought after as she is about 730 days ahead of most who have been turbo charged unwittingly into this new “work from home” lifestyle. Ultimately, Lisa’s passion is to challenge individuals and corporations to get out of their comfort zones, find their purpose, change the way they think, and to prove there’s more than one way to do anything. She encourages creativity, innovation, and an entrepreneurial spirit, and lives life to the absolute max. Most mornings she wakes up and pinches herself at how incredible her life is, but is also acutely aware and honest about life’s bumps and tumbles along the way. With fans including Sir Richard Branson and New York Times best-selling author Bradley Trevor Greive, and a loyal fan base of close to a million followers across her combined social channels, Lisa’s vision is to build a community of like-minded people who want to change the world for the better. She leads by example, using herself as a conduit and every day living her life out loud showing that anything truly is possible. Elizabeth was in awe throughout this entire conversation and we're sure you will be too!

Welcome to Impact Edit, where we bring you the most powerful insights and golden nuggets from our impactful conversations with thought leaders and changemakers in the fashion industry. We are revisiting a remarkable episode that left a lasting impression. In this snippet from our original podcast episode, I’m chatting with Mary Lou Ryan who co-founded bassike with Deborah Sams in 2006 to create what they couldn’t find: high quality, design-led, sustainably sourced wardrobe essentials. Lou & Deb chose to work with organic cotton, Australian makers and responsible business practices from the beginning. The pair designed the first collections from a 1950s cottage on Sydney’s Palm Beach, and bassike has the ease and vitality of Australian beach life in its DNA. Their debut collection was a considered edit of luxurious, organic cotton jersey t-shirts and pants that instantly connected with wearers in search of contemporary designs with the versatility to work within their existing wardrobes. Mary Lou holds the title of Director of Sustainability & Supply Chain at bassike, with a commitment to accelerating and amplifying positive change at the brand, within the community and the broader fashion industry. bassike is proudly B Corp and Climate Active Carbon Neutral certified. During our dynamic chat, Lou talks us through: Lou’s early days in the industry Why and how Lou and Deb launched bassike Bassike’s Responsible Business Journey Building Meaningful Partnerships Local Manufacturing & Sustainable practices Nurturing their loyal, engaged customer Working on Mindset & Wellbeing and so much more.

It’s called the .Wheel of Life This is well known powerful development tool because it gives you a vivid visual representation of the way , compared with the way .your life is currentlyyou'd ideally like it to be It is called the "Wheel of Life" because each area of your life is mapped on a circle, like the spoke of a wheel. Essentially, it's: 1. Snapshot of where you are now when it comes to key areas of your life 2. Your level of satisfaction with where you are now - 1 being lowest – 10 at highest 3. And it provides a framework to assess not only where you are now, but most importantly where you WANT TO BE and can be the catalyst for creating an action plan that is laser focused on your IDEAL life goals. You can customise the spokes on YOUR wheel, but typically they would include key areas of your life such as: - Health - Family - Friends - Career - Finances - Purpose - Love - Self Development - Contributions The steps to work through this powerful process start with: 1. A Brainstorm of your Life Areas 2. Think About Your Ideal Level for Life Balance 3. Take Action!

	26 Mar 2024	Erin Deering, Co-Founder Triangl \| Hanging By A Thread To Having it All	01:00:29
For anyone in business, this will be one of the most profound and moving episodes that you will listen to all year. Erin Deering, the accomplished Australian entrepreneur and co-founder of the renowned global swimwear brand, Triangl, has left a permanent mark on the fashion industry. Her innovative use of neoprene cuts and strategic embrace of the influencer effect propelled Triangl to cult status, culminating in a staggering valuation of USD$200 million. Yet, amidst the resounding success, Erin, like many women striving to 'have it all,' discovered the profound personal sacrifices that accompanied her professional journey. Feeling "totally broken" after years of relentless brand growth, Erin made a pivotal decision to step away from Triangl at its peak. This marked the beginning of an intensive period of self-discovery, during which she explored various avenues, including meditation, manifestation, and traditional therapy. Through this transformative process, Erin emerged with a rekindled sense of passion and purpose. In 2023, she launched a podcast titled "The Work," where she generously shared insights on business, personal development, and self-care. Erin, a multifaceted individual, has also embraced roles as a speaker, entrepreneur, mentor, and author. Her memoir, "Hanging By A Thread," recently claimed the #1 spot on Booktopia's charts. This year, Erin gears up to unveil her eagerly anticipated fashion brand in September. This venture reflects her unwavering commitment to blending style with substance, embodying the lessons learned from her remarkable journey. During this dynamic conversation, we dive into: The inspiration behind Erin’s book, Hanging by a Thread The highs and lows of growing the iconic Australian swimwear brand Triangl The experience of exiting Triangl and how it was navigated Erin’s healing journey from hanging by a thread to having it all The exciting upcoming launch of Erin's new fashion brand You can connect with Erin at: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/erinkdeering/ https://www.erindeering.com/ _______ If you would like to take your Fashion Business to the next level, connect with us via any of the following links and enquire about Consulting, Mentorship or Online Learning.

	17 Aug 2020	Melissa Singer - National Fashion Editor of The Age & SMH - "Everyone has a role to play in a more conscious, sustainable future of fashion"	01:16:37
In this episode Elizabeth speaks with Melissa Singer, a creative, commercially-minded writer, fashion and lifestyle editor and strategist. As the National Fashion Editor of The Age & SMH, Melissa is an active advocate of Australian Fashion. We’ve seen many Fashion Brands & Designers make 'Front Page' as a result of her strong and relatable voice on a range of topics from retail to women's representation in the media. During this raw and inspiring conversation, Melly shares everything from how she grew up obsessed with Fashion, to some of the perks of her job that include sitting FROW at International Fashion weeks and she also openly shares some golden advice on how to cut through the clutter, get your brand out there and her thoughts on a more enlightened, responsible and sustainable future of fashion. This episode was recorded in April 2020 while we were all adjusting to our 'new normal.' Key takeaways on what’s important right now: · There will be a real rebound for people supporting Australian brands over the next twelve months · It's important to define your point of difference. If you’re using fabric made from recycled fishing nets, consider what makes you different from the numerous other brands doing the same thing? · We are prepared to pay a premium for so many other things, but we don’t seem to understand that equation when it comes to locally made fashion…brands need to be clear in their communication with consumers. · Being a Fashion Designer is complex, and I’m not sure many who launch are ready. Seek the help and support you need to succeed in the industry. You can find Melissa Singer on instagram at: – @melly_singer Want to join our ‘Start Your Fashion Business’ Programme & Community?

	31 Oct 2023	Paul Vasileff, Creative Director & Founder Paolo Sebastian\| A Lifetime Commitment to Couture Excellence	01:17:15
In this episode, I speak with Paul Vasileff, the Creative Director and Founder of Paolo Sebastian, Paul learnt to sew from the age of three. Initially taught by his Grandmother he completed his first evening dress at age eleven, Vasileff was fascinated by the inner workings and underpinnings of garments. With dreams of one day becoming a couture designer, he developed his skills by undertaking private lessons in pattern making and sewing from the age of thirteen. After debuting his first collection at age seventeen to raving reviews from the public and press, Vasileff immediately began taking orders for private clients. Wanting to further his skills and knowledge he sought out an apprenticeship with an Italian tailor practising in traditional sartorial methods, where he would develop his knowledge and technique. Shortly after, he was granted a scholarship to the prestigious Europeo Instituto di Design in Milan, Italy, where he graduated with honours. After returning to Australia, Vasileff expanded the business to employ and train staff who were equally passionate about honouring the traditions of fine sewing. In 2017, Vasileff was awarded ‘Young Australian of the Year’ for his work in founding Paolo Sebastian and its contribution to the Australian fashion industry. He was later awarded ‘Designer of The Year’ in the Prix de Marie Claire Awards. Vasileff continues to follow his dream, further developing the brand and business with an international clientele, annual showings in Paris, and adhering to the highest standards of craftsmanship. During our dynamic conversations, Paul talks us through: His lifetime commitment to couture excellence The creative process and the talented team behind Paolo Sebastian The joy of delivering a magical client experience Embracing AI, innovation and technology And so much more!

	14 Jun 2022	Christina Exie, Founder & Creative Director of EXIE - An athleisure brand purpose-built to unleash your inner badass!	00:53:06
In this episode, I chat with Christina Exie, the founder and creative director of Australian athleisure brand EXIE. When Christina won reality TV show in 2012, judges Megan Gale and Peter Morrissey deemed her pieces worthy of any Milan or Paris runway - they said she was ready for global design success!.Ten years later, Christina says it turns out she is!Project Runway Christina's mission is to give women technical activewear combined with a street-style aesthetic and inspire them to unleash their inner badass and to feel powerful in all facets of their lives. EXIE’s athleisure wear was created in 2019 when Christina couldn’t find minimal, bold activewear that made her feel strong and sexy. EXIE is kind to the planet operating as an ethical and sustainable business. More than 60 percent of the collections are produced from recycled fabrics. In less than a year after Christina began building her e-commerce business from her Melbourne spare bedroom, the brand’s vision was recognised via a partnership with the renowned Accent Group. Now Exie has five retail stores across Australia! Exie’s values and aspirational lifestyle have attracted high profile collaborating partners. That success proves while Christina got her start as a designer on reality TV after a fashion degree, at heart she is an entrepreneur. Christina has helped multiple six figure brands scale from concept through to operations, providing advice from her 15 years of global roles and personal experience founding and growing two e-commerce, wholesale and now retail businesses. During roles as a designer, merchandiser and marketer for billion-dollar brands across the globe, my technical design and tailoring capabilities helped establish key fitting and design standards for boutique and chain retailers. Described in national media as “the person to watch”, Christina is a fashion industry leader and forward thinker. It was exciting to hear how Christina has grown her brand over the last three years, and her entrepreneurial, kind approach to business was inspiring!

Ren is also a senior manager at a Big Four consulting firm and also a regular contributor to GQ and Vogue.

	29 May 2023	Impact Edit: Jam the Label - The Power Of A Purpose Driven Brand	00:15:57
Welcome to Impact Edit, where we bring you the most powerful insights and golden nuggets from our impactful conversations with thought leaders and changemakers in the fashion industry. We are revisiting a remarkable episode that left a lasting impression. In this snippet from our original podcast episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Molly Rogers and Emma Clegg, the inspiring co-founders of JAM the label. Their journey began with a shared passion for occupational therapy and a deep empathy for young people with disabilities. Molly and Emma recognized the challenges faced by individuals in wheelchairs when it came to finding fashionable and functional clothing. They refused to accept compromise and embarked on a mission to create inclusive fashion for young people with disabilities. Thus, JAM the label was born in 2019, named after two remarkable teenagers, Jack and Maddie. With design features like magnetic closures, side-zip jackets, and pants tailored for seated comfort, JAM has redefined inclusivity in fashion. Starting with just one product, they have now expanded to partner with external retailers, including EveryHuman, Averee, and THE ICONIC. Their dream? To become the number one inclusive fashion brand in Australia, ensuring that everyone, regardless of ability, can feel cool, proud, and stylish in their clothing. Molly and Emma's story is a testament to the transformative power of passion, empathy, and unwavering dedication. As we revisit this episode, we encourage you to listen closely to the insights, strategies, and perspectives shared by these remarkable founders. Their wisdom is a true golden nugget that can spark new ideas, inspire change, and help you make a lasting impact in your business, with your team, and within your community. So, whether you're an established business owner or just beginning your entrepreneurial journey, get ready to be equipped with valuable information and inspiration.

	11 May 2021	Lisa Messenger- The vibrant game-changing founder and CEO of Collective Hub - "Diversify your revenue streams and future proof your business"	01:01:36
This week we are flashing back to one of my most favorite episodes with Lisa Messenger. I personally had some profound shifts in mindset and was inspired to stop, recalibrate, review and reassess after interviewing Lisa Messenger back in October last year. HOW TO BE AT THE TOP OF YOUR GAME & MAKE YOUR BUSINESS WORK Lisa’s top tips: Be intimate with your data and numbers. Understand how to read your data and identify if you’re getting a return on your investments. Fully understand all your costs of doing business. Don’t grow too fast. When things aren’t working, know when to stop and recalibrate, review, reassess and then rebuild. Eat the frog and do the hard things first! Know when to end something to make space for new beginnings. Being honest and authentic with your community is key. Share your story. Now, achieving success in your business won’t come by twiddling your thumbs. You want to take action steps to ensure you’re setting yourself up for success. The key? Plan, plan, plan! How Lisa makes it work: At the beginning of each month, list 10 ‘top level’ priorities. Know your strengths and then outsource the rest to experts in each key area. Support systems & structures are so important. One mentor can’t know it all, so have various mentors that specialise in key areas from business to personal, and don’t forget spirituality mentors! Podcasts are also such an amazing free learning resource – take advantage of them.

Ross has worked in the fashion industry for 20 years and started within the industry as a footwear Product & Sales Manager working for Therapy Shoes. Ross has developed and sold footwear to most of the best national retailers in the country. In 2012, he joined The Iconic to launch their private label footwear business and grew the #1 brand on site for 3 years and became category manager of the entire footwear department leading both the buying & product development teams.

	03 Dec 2020	Kerry & Angelo Pietrobon, Founders of Harlow - "Premium, Purpose Led Australian Made Fashion Exclusively for Sizes 12-26"	01:00:51
In this episode Elizabeth speaks with Kerry & Angelo Pietrobon, the Founders of Harlow. Kerry and Angelo have been proudly making beautiful fashionable clothing for women sized 12-26 since 2013. Harlow started as a solution to Kerry’s problems, when she couldn’t find clothes that she loved - only clothes that fit. Because of this, shopping was always a challenge, trawling the stores to come home broken hearted every single time. It wasn’t too long before Kerry realised, she needed to take her fashion story into her own hands, and started making her own clothing – her way! In late 2012 Kerry floated the dream of starting a label that would be a solution for women like her to husband Angelo. He too could see that there was a need for fashion that not only fit but also made women feel great. They jumped straight in, as with a lot of small businesses, funding the business themselves, putting it pretty much all on the line and working together to bring one of the best-known Australian made, premium plus-size labels to life. Harlow’s Ethos is to only wear what makes your heart sing, if you don’t love it, don’t let it take up valuable space in your wardrobe. Buy well, buy quality and buy ethical.

In this episode, Elizabeth speaks with sisters Marika and Ilana who started their namesake label Lanamara when they couldn't find handbags that sparked a sense of modernity and uniqueness but also practicality. After previously making clothes for themselves which reflected their open-spirited style and sensibility the pair thought it was an opportunity to bring this same influence to the Australian handbag and accessories market. Marika and her mother, Maureen a talented artisan herself, started making bags from their home studio for family and friends and after receiving encouraging feedback the sisters undertook considerable research before deciding to head to India to find artisans to create their designs. Their range of bags, baskets & accessories strike a balance of being both aspirational and accessible. After launching their first collection in December 2020 they have just released a limited edition Australian-made capsule collection.

	18 May 2023	Level Up Session: A Pathway to Profitability – Learn how to optimise the profit results in your business.	00:18:33
We're kicking off our LEVEL UP SESSIONS, a series of episodes designed to help you take your business to the next level. These sessions together will be focussed on inspiration and education – a mini strategy session for you to take away some actionable steps and apply them to your own business and keep moving forward. These sessions might even inspire you to consider exploring consulting and spark a renewed focus on your own professional and business development. In today's episode, we'll be discussing "A Pathway to Profitability," and exploring what fashion brands and eCommerce business owners can do to improve the profitability of their business. From my experience, “Working extremely hard for little or no return is the biggest passion killer in business.” Profitability is at the core of any successful business. It's what allows you to sustain long-term success, reinvest in your business, grow, scale and gain fulfilment from what you do and why you do it." Let’s face it, if we have a great week, a great month or a quarter, that’s when the motivation, inspiration and celebrations occur…and we ALL want more of that in business. Now if you are in the early days of business, do put this in perspective based on your start-up stage, it does take time to turn a profit. The important point to note is you must PLAN to be profitable from the beginning and know what you need to deliver to the business to ensure this happens. But, if you’ve been in business for some time now, whether that’s A YEAR OR TWO or a DECADE or TWO… it really is time to pave the Pathway to Profitability and ensure you’re on track to ultimately achieve YOUR version of success in your business. During this Level Up Session, we cover: Understanding the importance of profitability Identifying profit-optimising opportunities, across: Pricing strategy Cost of goods Discounts Expenses Marketing 3.Taking action and measuring results By identifying your profit-optimisation opportunities, overcoming common challenges, and taking action, you'll be well on your way to making significant improvements. If you enjoy this LEVEL UP session, please be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss any upcoming episodes. We love hearing from you, so feel free to DM us and share any feedback on whether this episode was helpful and share any future topics you would like me to dive into in our LEVEL UP sessions.

	28 May 2022	Jeremy Meltzer, Founder of i=Change - The power of a committed brand with purpose, and retailing for good.	00:48:39
In this episode, I chat with Jeremy Meltzer, the Founder of i=Change. Jeremy is a social entrepreneur and inspiring voice for women’s rights globally. He created i=Change to help accelerate the impact of extraordinary development projects, focused on empowering women and girls. As a young man, Jeremy was moved to action while living in Cuba. He was shocked at how violence against women seemed accepted and was even considered 'normal' across Latin America. This left him with a burning question... Why is such abuse so common in some communities while abhorrent in others? Over the last ten years in an attempt to understand this issue, Jeremy's met with NGO's and communities in many countries around the world. Jeremy believes the solution lies in engaging men, challenging the dominant versions of masculinity, modeling respectful relationships to children, and funding best-practice NGOs. Jeremy is passionate about the enormous potential, that often won't be realised, in women and girls around the world. What would they build if they could? How could i=Change be part of the solution? In partnership with over 350 retailers like P.E Nation, Camila, Pillow Talk and Clarins, including collaborations with Afterpay and ARA. i=Change has raised $1at a time - over $5.8M and counting (as of 28/5/22), impacting the lives of up to 1.3M people in Australia and globally. i=Change is leading a purposeful retail movement and changing retail for good so that it's no longer enough to sell a product.

	18 Jun 2024	Shanya Suppasiritad, Founder of Rntr \| Rental, Resale & Repair \| Powering the Circular Economy	00:53:33
My guest today is Shaya Suppasiritad. Shanya is a change maker and creative thinker set out to disrupt the fashion industry with the circular movement. Shanya is the founder of Rntr, a platform helping brands drive growth through RE-commerce which includes Rental, Resale and Repair. Season after season brands are struggling to maximise their ROI for each collection as trends move rapidly. Items are often being discounted and many are left unsold. At the same time, more and more consumers are participating in re-commerce (rental + resale), shifting towards responsible consumption. But for brands to tap into the benefits of rental, resale and repair (New customer acquisition, loyalty, data, increased ROI efficiency and more)…, it can be costly and complex if done inhouse. That’s why Shanya founded Rntr. Shanya and her team want every brand to have the opportunity to step into and profit from the circular economy while owning the re-commerce experience for their brand. I took so much away from this dynamic conversation with Shanya and no doubt you will too. _____________________________________________ If you would like to take your Fashion Business to the next level, connect with us via any of the following links and enquire about Consulting, Mentorship or Online Learning.

Vanessa started her career as a model, gracing the pages of high-end fashion publications and walking the runway for top-tier designers. However, her true passion lies in farming and sustainable fashion. Vanessa owns close to 118,000 acres of pristine land in Australia and is one of the few women in the world with a landholding more than twice the size of Paris. Vanessa has invested in the future by expanding her collection of hand-knitted Australian Merino wool baby knitwear to include luxury women's knitwear produced in Italy, all made from traceable and ethically farmed Australian Merino yarn. The Vanessa Bell brand promotes sustainability by using naturally occurring, renewable, and biodegradable Australian Merino wool and is committed to reducing microplastic pollution in the environment and inspiring future generations to make environmentally conscious decisions. Vanessa works closely with The Woolmark Company (AWI) and is a member of the Australian Fashion Council. In 2022, she was appointed as an Advisor to the Board of Ag Tech company Zondii, where she focuses on provenance and authentication for wool. Beyond fashion, Vanessa is committed to a large-scale mixed farming enterprise (including organic wheat) with active strategies to become a certified biodiversity and carbon farmer. Vanessa is a true visionary, demonstrating intuition, resilience, courage, and integrity. I enjoyed every minute of this dynamic, inspiring chat with Vanessa and no doubt you will too.

	23 Apr 2024	Nikki Williams, Founder of Mentwell \| Conscious Gift Giving Through Health & Wellness	00:58:18
Today’s episode focuses on an everyday accessible solution that provides the GIFT of health and wellness services to support to those who need it. This is something that can be integrated into any Workplace Wellness Program and shared with our family, friends and communities. Nikki Williams is a repeat entrepreneur, marketer and health and wellness advocate who has recently launched Mentwell; a digital gift card for health and wellness services where the receiver gets to choose how they redeem, at any service provider, Australia-wide. This means GPs, dentists, psychologists, all Allied Health, all alternative and complementary therapies, gyms, yoga and pilates studios, wellness centres, retreats and more. It's evident that Nikki has a unique ability to use her life experiences as a way of fuelling her passion when it comes to her work life. First, music was a coping mechanism to deal with a challenging family situation; so she became a music manager and PR professional. Then she dove head first into hospitality as a job, but realised she wanted to help hospitality owners and operators, so she started a successful digital marketing agency for this sector. Then wellness became important during a particularly difficult time during Covid, so she created a kids yoga mat company and started building Mentwell. Now Nikki is on a mission to make wellness the 3.0 of gifting. We've had material gifts like flowers and chocolates, then we moved to experience based gifting like hot air balloon rides, and now gifting wellness allows one another to potentially change the lives of those around us. Just 22 weeks after launching Mentwell, Nikki and her team have $5.8m in sales revenue secured for 2024 and are raising $1.5m through a Birchal crowdfunding campaign in May, 2024. Nikki dreams of being able to be a philanthropist as a full time job, helping to increase the global health and wellness of our communities, in particular those who are less fortunate or disadvantaged. Nikki has continuously used her intuition and curiosity to create businesses and she's excited to share her journey with Mentwell so far with our community. During our dynamic conversation, we dive into: The significant changes taking place in the health and wellbeing space The power of gifting Mentwell, Australia’s FIRST Health and Wellness Gift Card What choosing to align with Mentwell could mean for your business How embracing discipline rather than motivation can be transformational in each of our lives And so much more.

In this episode Elizabeth speaks with Amy Fosdike, the Director of Launch Fashion Management. After a strong background in in-house sales roles + Agency work, Amy founded LFM in 2005. Amy saw a gap in the market to do agency a little differently with a focus to ‘sell-out” rather than sell in + a view that relationships + honestly were the ingredients for longevity in the market. LFM under this strategy grew organically year on year with the expansion into Melbourne in 2017 + Adelaide in 2019.

In this episode, Elizabeth is super excited as her mission for this podcast is to showcase the dynamics of the fashion industry and this is her first episode with MAKER. In this episode Elizabeth chats with Joey Pringle, the Founder of Veshin Factory. What Elizabeth loved about this chat was that Joey who is originally from the UK and has lived in Canada and Australia, has taken on task of becoming a factory owner in China. Veshin is an original equipment & design manufacturer specialising in bags and accessories with a philosophy centred on sustainability, transparency & environmentally progressive values. Whilst many factories have typically adopted a tick box approach to meeting brand sustainability and social compliance measures for audit purposes, Veshin launches with these values already embedded within. VESHIN's WHY is to go above and beyond in our mission to deliver meaningful sustainable, transparent & environmentally progressive industry change. Elizabeth loved diving into topics from sustainability, to sourcing vegan materials, ethical supply chain and the profound benefits of a focus on Meditation and wellness with Joey and I’m sure you will too!

	09 Sep 2020	Renae James, Founder of Papinelle Sleepwear - "When I look back on my career, Covid will be a massive turning point"	00:52:29
In this episode Elizabeth speaks with Renae James, the Founder of Papinelle Sleepwear. Renae began honing her entrepreneurial drive from an early age. She always had a strong desire to be in the fashion industry so started her journey studying Fashion Design at the University of Technology Sydney, and graduated with Honours. Like many Australian designers, Renae launched Papinelle at the Paddington Markets in 2003 with sleepwear designs that quickly brought retail and media attention. Renae opened her first Papinelle boutique on Oxford Street in Paddington across the road from the Paddington Markets in 2004; That same year, on a visit to a New York trade show, Renae met Nicki Kelly who was showcasing her own sleepwear brand. They quickly became friends, realising the chemistry and passion they shared in business. This led to Nicki joining forces with Renae at Papinelle 12 years later. Today, Papinelle has grown to become a hugely successful brand sold in all Nordstrom doors across the USA, along with their direct to consumer website, and boutiques in Australia and New Zealand. 17 years later, Renae says “its just the beginning...” It was exciting to speak with a brand that is experiencing a significant uplift in trade during this time as the Sleepwear and Loungewear categories boom globally. Key Takeaways: -Set a clear vision and then have a burning desire to get there -You can't let set backs turn you away from your goals -Be authentic, stay true to your your aesthetic, have a product you believe in and be persistent -Have a mission associated with your brand - find your purpose -Find what excites you and keeps you going -Weave perks into your work life to keep yourself inspired - such as travel or experiences you enjoy -It's a journey and no two journey's are the same so don't compare yourself to others.

	14 Nov 2023	Rebecca Thompson \| Three Decades of Crafting Fashion with Purpose	01:05:32
In this episode, I speak with Rebecca Thompson, the Founder, Designer and Director of the iconic Australian Fashion Label Rebecca Thompson. Since launching in June 2000, Rebecca has become one of Australia's premier luxury fashion labels. The flagship Rebecca Thompson e-boutique offers a gorgeous mix of signature relaxed separates and unique dresses for every season. Each piece is distinctly Rebecca Thompson; timeless and classic. With garments that are guaranteed to turn heads, every moment in Rebecca Thompson is a magic moment. RT is constantly experimenting with how to embellish fabrics. One season it may be heavy on prints, the next heavy with embroideries layered over prints. Dramatic colours, astonishing beading and embroidery work are all part of the textural process. The silhouettes are simple, flattering and easy to wear. The difference is the personal touch. Rebecca works with her own team of artisans in house to create fabrics that are either hand beaded, embroidered, or block printed. Every piece is unique and individual. With over 30 years in the fashion industry Rebecca was determined to create a lovely boutique and mindful and caring work room. The India studio was set up from the get go, and still employs the same 6 staff. All styles are textured and produced within the space.

	11 Nov 2021	Molly & Emma - Co Founders of JAM the label - "Fashion that's Functional - a clothing brand created for young people with disability in mind"	00:58:36
In this episode, Elizabeth speaks with Molly Rogers and Emma Clegg, the Co-Founders of JAM the label. Molly and Emma met while studying occupational therapy at university and bonded over a shared passion for their work. They were both casual disability support workers for teenagers, Jack and Maddie, at the time, and would often discuss how difficult the teens found dressing, as they both used wheelchairs. “Not only was it difficult for them, but anything that was easier for them to get dressed in was not cool and wasn’t something that we would have wanted to wear when we were teenagers. Why should they have to compromise on fashion just for functionality?” Emma says. Soon realising this is a common experience for the one in five Australians with disabilities, Molly and Emma launched JAM the label in 2019 (named after Jack and Maddie), a clothing brand born out of the need for inclusive clothing for young people with disabilities. Design features include shirts that close with magnets instead of buttons, jackets that zip up on the sides, and pants that have extra room for comfort when seated and a subtle drop crotch for discretion when using continence aids. Since launching small with just one product, JAM is now stocked with three external retailers, including EveryHuman, Averee and THE ICONIC. “Our dream for JAM is to be the number one inclusive fashion brand in Australia. We want everyone in Australia to have the opportunity to wear clothes that make them feel cool, that they’re very proud to be wearing, and we don’t think that should be any different for people with disability,” says Molly. Elizabeth was inspired by this chat with Molly and Emma and was so impressed with the achievements these dynamic Co-Founders have achieved in a short period of time. They are clearly on a mission!

	17 Feb 2021	Charlotte Hicks - Founder of Esse Studios - "The innovative mindset behind an award winning, consciously created sustainable brand "	01:11:01
OUR MELBOURNE FASHION FESTIVAL SPEAKER SERIES In this episode Elizabeth speaks with Charlotte Hicks, the Founder of Esse Studios. Charlotte has over 10 years experience designing for Australia’s leading fashion brands. After graduating with honours from a Bachelor of Design at UTS in 2008, Charlotte ‘cut her teeth’ as design assistant at Zimmermann. She went on to gain experience at other Australian labels and more recently finished a 6-year tenure as RTW designer at Sass and Bide. Charlotte knew she wanted to create a brand that was unique, that didn’t follow the traditional model - a brand that was ‘built for longevity’. Gaining as much experience and knowledge under incredible mentors was her focus in those earlier years. Along with finding the opportunities in the global landscape and being aware of the problems a fashion business can face. After a decade of experience, there were poignant observations that became the foundations ESSE was built on. More specifically the abundance of excess, the wastefulness, the speed and the overall loss of value a customer places on each of their purchases. ESSE became a fusion of old and new. A modern and innovative approach to business, underpinned with timeless values of integrity and quality. Encouraging and nurturing a slower more mindful approach to consumption was the focus. You can find Charlotte at: Website www.essestudios.com Instagram essee.studios & charhicks Want to hear more from Charlotte and a dynamic lineup of guest speakers?

	20 Apr 2022	Emily Riggs - Founder & Creative Director of Iris and Wool - A Farm to Fashion label and a journey of pain to purpose!	00:46:40
In this episode, I chat with Emily Riggs, the Founder & Creative Director of Iris and Wool. After cancer struck, twice, Emily designed a life with purpose When she was just 10 years old, Emily was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Shortly after her diagnosis, her mother lost her own cancer battle, passing away from breast cancer, aged 43. In her most difficult days, Emily found herself turning to fashion for comfort and to express her creative flair. Years later, Emily found love with Tom, a fifth-generation merino sheep farmer. Together, their family runs 15,000 merino sheep across their 100,000 acre property in Burra, South Australia. In 2019, after welcoming two children, Emily founded Iris & Wool and finally realised her dream to design, merging her love of fashion with merino wool. ‘Iris’ is in honour of her mother’s favourite flower and five percent of every sale is donated to the McGrath Foundation to provide ongoing support to people experiencing breast cancer. It’s always a special moment in time for me to witness one of our community members pursue their passion and purpose, launch their fashion business but grow and thrive! What stood out for me during this interview was that Emily shared how rewarding her business was, that it has given her a confidence that she has never felt before and shared that her business is good for her Mental Health. I was inspired by Emily’s story, her gorgeous brand Iris and Wool and her goal to go GLOBAL and share Australia’s precious merino wool worldwide and I’m sure you will be too!

Richard has always drawn inspiration from his unique Australian seaside lifestyle. The name COMMAS implies a purposeful pause, a reminder to catch your breath, to recalibrate, and take pleasure in the moment. The brand serves as a catalyst to find calmness in the spaces between life’s clutter. Ricard shares how "It all started with the goal to create the perfect pair of swim shorts." From there, Richards's quest grew to create a completely original resort wardrobe comprising of “pieces that create a feeling of confidence and calm." Shortly after launching, Richard was invited by Woolmark to represent Australia at Pitti Uomo in Florence, to showcase his SS18 collection. In Florence, COMMAS caught the eye of luxury e-commerce platform Matchesfashion.com, who launched the brand globally in January 2018. Commas have since expanded to partner with Major retail partners globally in addition to their own e-commerce business. Amongst incredible milestones, COMMAS was awarded the winner of The 'National Designer Award' At The 2021 Melbourne Fashion Festival I was inspired by this conversation with Richard and in awe of his calm nature, business acumen and passion for his seaside Australian Lifestyle and I'm sure you will be too!
