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.  

To say her finger is on the pulse when it comes to upcoming trends in the fashion industry is an understatement. With her 25 years of experience in sales publishing, advertising and fashion, she has an incredible childhood story that has influenced the way she does business today.  

So what does implementing sustainability practices actually look like for a jewellery brand? What keeps someone like Phoebes in love with the fashion industry which can at times be very competitive? Find out this and more in episode 5 of the Australian Retailers Association Retail Therapy podcast.
