Coastal Creators: Timeless Style & Sustainable Fashion

In this summer "Best Of" special, Sarah King hosts a vibrant celebration of Central Coast artistry and sustainable style. Jewelry artist Virginia Riley reflects on her evolution from crafting intricate bridal tiaras for the Strand Arcade to her current passion for upcycling everyday items—like wine bottle lids—into unique wearable art. Suzanne Hunter of Ellery and Moss discusses her mission to ensure mature women feel seen and confident, offering an "anti-trend" philosophy and small-batch swimwear designed for real bodies. Finally, TAFE NSW fashion head Laura Washington challenges the "fast fashion" machine, sharing startling statistics on Australian consumption and her own inspiring pledge to buy no new clothing for an entire year.
