It’s hard not to have a crush on Stevie Dance. The Australian film student turned stylist, edited fashion Russh Magazine, before moving to NYC and starting her own online zine, SHOP GHOST. Dance describes it as a ‘manual for creativity and style research’ and we love her kaleidoscope collages and style insights from fashion favourites such as Phillip Lim and Julia Nobis.
A tornado of activity, when she’s not consulting for major brands, the image-maker is also working on her own film script. Twin caught up with Dance to find out more…
