Urban List

Wardrobe staples that can seamlessly take you from WFH to WFO to Happy Hour are our top picks this winter. Gone are the days of separate wardrobes for your workdays and weekends—now we can stride through the office in trainers and don an oversized blazer to the bar. To nail the corpcore looks we teamed up with Kmart Australia Limited. Link in comments to shop the looks. Shoutout to Parmiss Kiakojouri at Kmart and Teshaya Turner and Katelyn Robinson from Alpha Digital for making this partnership possible. Urban List project: Bonnie Ilett, Rojan Khastoui, Jessica Best, Tai Pham, Kylie O'Connell and Bridget O'Donohue. Urban List talent: Leilani Vakaahi, Madelaine Ainsworth and Georgie Bowyer

Seeing our mates across the industry impacted by the increasing consolidation of media is a sucker punch to the guts. This country has some of the best talent in the biz, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without the incredible influence of our peers. Anyone who’s worked in media knows that telling stories isn’t just work. It’s what gets us up in the morning, fuels passionate chats during the day, keeps us sane in an environment of non-stop change, and amuses us when we log off and switch off. We know there are lots of talented people looking for work at the moment. If you’re a videographer, video producer, video director, writer or content creator on the ground in Australia, we’d love for you to join our growing freelance crew. Link in comments. ❤️
