With a view that brighter is better and an equally bold approach to making things happen, Nicole Warne is one of the most visible innovators on Australia’s fashion landscape – even when she’s not wearing a colour-blocked three-piece and Nicki Minaj lipstick.
Nicole quit her day job back in 2009 to plunge head first into the fashion blog-slash-online store business, starting a visual online diary on the same day she opened the virtual doors of her online vintage store. This was a time when the fashion blogosphere was not yet confoundedly over-saturated, and her seemingly natural grasp of the three blogging stalwarts (fashion, vintage, and photography) struck a chord with readers from early on. Gary Pepper Vintage quickly went from online store to style bible, the undisputed draw card being exquisitely styled shoots of her one-off vintage finds and the cream on the cake being that the girl herself is an ultimate babe.
