ABOUT THE FASHION CATALYST

In 2009, Vicky Sofield launched The Fashion Catalyst as a media resource and behind-the-scenes insight into the fashion industry in Western Australia. Little did she know that -in her region- she was at the forefront of disrupting the market and inspiring an entire digital trend that’s now known as fashion blogging.

Since then, TheFashionCatalyst.com went on to become an internationally recognised fashion resource that solidified strong connections with iconic fashion houses, designers and brands across the globe.

Providing runway coverage, authoritative reports on seasonal trends, the latest street style, celebrity and fashion news. Along with behind-the-scenes coverage, beauty how-to’s, and plenty of relatable lifestyle blog posts that enable our readers to live their best life possible… Because everyone deserves to live their best life, stylishly!

The Fashion Catalyst is a global fashion destination that inspires our community to live their best life possible. Shop, style & be inspired.

WHO IS VICKY SOFIELD?

Prior to 2009, Vicky contributed fashion, lifestyle and music related articles for a variety of print and digital media outlets.

Shortly thereafter -upon discovering that a vast majority of the fashion industry creatives were being out-shadowed by commercial conglomerates- Vicky grew tired of having limited creative freedom, so she set out to create her own digital publishing platform that focused on promoting the incredible talents of all creatives within the fashion industry.

And that’s how The Fashion Catalyst began…
