GEORGE Issue 6 has landed, and we cannot wait for you to dive in!

This edition dives into authenticity and integrity, unpacking what it really means to make something genuine and human centred at a time when AI, algorithms and constant content are shaping so much of what we see. Our contributors took that idea in different directions, from Ashlee Bilic's take on AI to Mikayla Scott's surrealist fashion designs, alongside photography editorials celebrating the confidence to be seen exactly as you are.

None of this happens without our incredible team of students, and our wider Collarts community, and we're endlessly grateful for everything they've poured into this issue.

From all of us at GEORGE, thank you for your support, and make sure to check out the full issue via our link in bio ⛓️

Today, we wear purple to celebrate LGBTQIA+ young people and stand with them 💜

At Collarts, everyone deserves the space to create, express and show up as their true self. It's what we champion every day, and it's why Wear It Purple Day matters to us.

To every LGBTQIA+ student, staff member and creative in our community: you are seen, you are supported, and you belong here 🌈

Racks of outfits, cameras flashing and a room buzzing with creative energy, that's the vibe from our 2 hour fashion shoot with James Morris and Nikon Australia last month 📸

Fashion and Styling students brought their favourite pieces along, working hands on with Photography, Digital Social Media, Screen and Media students throughout the day.

Some students modelled their own pieces, others brought friends along to model for them, and everyone left with new skills, portfolio ready work and connections they'll carry into their own practice.

Guided by James Morris, a q***r Australian–Lebanese fashion photographer and filmmaker known for storytelling that champions diversity, authenticity and a modern vision of beauty.

A big thank you to Nikon Australia for providing the equipment on the day and helping bring this experience to life.

It's World Fashion Day, and to celebrate we're spotlighting Cala Hernandez-Godoy's Fashion & Sustainability Capstone project, the CITRINE collection by CVLITV 🍊

Named after the citrine gemstone found in Artigas, Uruguay, the collection is Cala's love letter to her Chilean and Uruguayan heritage. Crochet, embroidery and hand embellishment reworked into contemporary silhouettes, made entirely from deadstock and reclaimed fabric. Citrine is slow fashion, made with purpose.

And of course, it took a village: Cala brought together fellow Collarts alumni, students and creatives to bring Citrine to life (Credits on IG):

Mohair rosettes, cross-stitched bunnies and vintage buttons are just some of the details that make Heart Couture so distinctly its own.

Fashion Journal caught up with Jodie Tian, a Collarts fashion student turning found and pre-loved materials into her own label, for a great read on creativity, sustainability, and doing things a little differently 🎀

Check out the piece below:

With the support of Collarts' industry-based educators, 21-year-old Jodie balances study while building her fashion business, Heart Couture.
