One to like quality and something a little bit different, the values of Rabie’s business reflect the man himself: passionate about delivering exceptional service and distinguished through excellence.

In Episode 7 of Season 13, I chat with Nat Thaipun, who we may know as the winner of this season's MasterChef, but to her friends, she's Nat Wolf. Wolf like in adventure, energy and passion, Nat and I go deep. And as we peel back the layers to her story, we find this stealth strength is actually a mechanism for finding purpose. Cooking may have now centred her, but Nat still doesn't mind living life on a knife's edge. And her ambitious live large approach has given her the tools to creatively curate diverse cultural cues and masterfully turn them into something modern and visionary. Whether it's her love for vintage fashion, crafting a kangaroo lab or an array of meaningful tattoos, it's Nat's style to honour history for both her story and others, but keep it contemporary and always make it cute.

In Episode 7 of Season 13, I chat with Nina Treffkorn, co-director of Sydney contemporary art gallery, China Heights. Born to Buddhist parents that moved from a German commune to a conservative catholic small town in Ireland where she was raised, it’s fair to say Nina has become used to looking at the world from the outside in. However her move to Sydney allowed her to discover a diverse art and fashion community she could belong to, and Nina has since found her place inside. And while it’s Nina’s style to lean into a uniform look as a tool to belong she is not strictly black and white. Nina may have stood out for her height as a child but she’s learnt the value of having a unique story and style and while she finds peace is staying centred she uses her individual assets to her advantage, leading her to greater heights.

In episode 5 of season 13, I chat with Jess Brady, Financial Planner, Financially Fierce podcast host and founder of The Greenhouse Money Growing Program. Jess’ career in finance afforded her freedoms at a young age and in her compliant yet calculating ways, Jess is now on a mission to unlock the systems that keep others from accessing their own sound financial futures. Jess’ philosophy on finance is not dissimilar to fashion - tap into what’s personally important and consciously use what serves you. Whether she’s wearing second hand clothes, dressing like a farmer, or donning Gucci shoes, it’s Jess’ style to creatively use what she’s got, reward herself occasionally and always think of others.

In episode 4 of season 13, I chat with Katie Kaars, professional Photographer and Camera Confidence Coach. With over 175,000 followers on Instagram, Katie knows how to be seen and heard. But growing up in a household where children were taught to be seen but not heard, Katie learnt from an early age that creativity could serve as a powerful outlet for self-expression. And while her career found herself behind the lens of a camera, Katie’s style has always found a point of difference. One to enjoy a practical and pragmatic approach to both her work and her wardrobe, Katie has learnt to let go of rigidity and add more frivolity while always finding beauty in raw and authentic style.

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.

A new year can offer us the promise of many fanciful/different things, but often it’s simply an opportunity to refresh, whether it be our style or our story.
Season 13 will continue to share the stories of creative people with a strong sense of style however this season I will turn the wheel to provide more offerings on how you can refresh your style and use it as a tool to share the story you want to tell.
I hope you can sit back, relax and enjoy listening to Season 13 of Style Stories.

As 2023 wraps up, I conclude Season 12 of Style Stories with a message of understanding for the Christmas presence.
I’ll be giving myself the gift of a small break over the holiday season, returning reenergised and full of heart in January with what will be my 4th year of Style Stories.
As you spend your holidays celebrating the spirit of the season, I hope you find the presence of your own style and story and that you can sit back, relax and enjoy.

Today I am chatting with Aminata Conteh-Biger, founder & CEO of the Aminata Maternal Foundation and Special Representative for Australia with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). As we wrap up Season 12, Stories with Heart, it seems only fitting I share a story, also told through Aminata's autobiography Rising Heart, that’s full of passion, strength and life. A former refugee from Sierra Leone, Aminata has seen unimaginable trauma and a gentle warning, this episode does contain sensitive material. Aminata may take hold of her own story however she never lets adversity define her style. Instead, she exudes an infectious deep-seated confidence that carries the unabashed colour and charisma she graciously wears on her sleeve. And while she may have been taught to find beauty from within it’s her style to act out and impel others to do the same.

In Episode 6 of Season 12, I chat with Rachael Johns, best-selling author and prominent voice in contemporary relationship stories focusing on women's issues. She has coined the term 'life-lit,' delving into the intricacies of female relationships and the desire to belong. As this season focuses on stories with heart it's only fitting to talk with Rachael as she launches her latest romance novel, "Talk to the Heart". Rachael's narratives offer a joyful escape from what she would call “the depressing stuff” and she invites her readers to embrace the happiness she believes everyone deserves. But Rachael's ability to spread joy doesn’t stop with her stories and whether it’s her passion for all things pink or her extensive collection of earrings from independent designers, it’s her style to always spread the love.

In episode 5 of Season 12, I’m chatting with Dana Tomic Hughes, self-confessed design tragic, interior designer, and founder of renowned design platform, Yellowtrace. Vogue may have hailed Dana as one of the most visionary women on the planet, but as narrative unfolds you’ll also find her to be one of the most tenacious, passionate and dedicated. Proud to have popped Dana’s podcast cherry, sharing her style and her story is emotional and a privilege, just the way she sees design. And despite it’s privilege Dana is determined to make design and beauty accessible to all, which she does with her colourful style that offers humour, sophistication and always tells a story.
