What it’s really like to work at ‘Vogue Australia’

Welcome to Face to Face, a mini-series proudly presented by Dan Murphy’s. In this three-episode series, we're inviting you to sit down with three ambitious creatives who are cultural tastemakers, making a mark in their industry. They're the kind of creatives we'd love to sit down for a drink – or two – with. Today, we’re speaking to Gladys Lai. Gladys is an editor, brand strategist, presenter, and journalist, and she’s currently the Head of Brand for Vogue Australia. Gladys has a wealth of knowledge about the fashion industry, brand building, content strategy, and the contemporary media landscape. We talk about all this and much more in this episode, from the books she thinks every creative should read to why embracing your weirdness is important.
