Nathan McGuire x Rhys Ripper
‘You have to create that blueprint of what a success story looks like in Australia.’
Creative director Rhys Ripper talks to his best mate and model muse Nathan McGuire about their careers and the changing the face of Australian fashion. Driven by a passion to forge space for their First Nations cultures, they trace the creative sparks and the challenges that have built their own brand of Indigenous representation.
