Paula Joye

Paula began her career taping shoes in the fashion department at Vogue, working her way up through the ranks, writing and styling for the some of the country’s leading publications including Harpers Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Elle, BRW, Who & the Sydney Morning Herald. At 28, Paula was appointed editor of CLEO, Australia’s most iconic young women’s magazine. In 2002, she created and launched Shop Til You Drop which is the fastest-growing fashion magazine in the country. In 2004, she was given her next launch project and appointed Editor-in-Chief of Madison. Paula is a regular on the Today Show, a judge on Foxtel’s Project Runway Australia and a contributor for the Lifestyle You channel.
Out of hours, she is a married mother of two girls who passionately believes the only way to juggle ballet classes with a relationship and a staff of 40 is to laugh at yourself constantly, wear high heels all the time and never wait for a rainy day.
