A passion for fashion
Introducing Phoebes Garland, whose unplanned career in fashion has turned into an inspiring story of success. She is the co-founder of fashion management and consultancy Garland & Garland Fashion, owns lifestyle brand GxG Collective, is ambassador to not-for-profits Shake it Up Australia and Adopt Change and she also works with the fashion design studio at the Australian Fashion Council.
