About

SIDE-NOTE is a platform that tells stories of style and substance, merging the gap between contemporary culture and fashion.

With a focus on photography and film, we celebrate the creative mind, the independent spirit and people with purpose.

We publish quality editorial and branded content. Our themed editions allow for thoughtful consideration of what is happening now. With uninhibited creative output as king, we champion our artistic community to perpetuate meaningful narratives and present new ideas that are representative of our time.

SIDE-NOTE PROJECTS – may the best idea win. We work with best-of-breed collaborators to deliver and publish work that is both beautiful and results driven. Rejecting a typical advertising model in favour of content production, SIDE-NOTE acts as a trusted conduit between creator and client.

MADE UP BY DEREK HENDERSON AND MATILDA DODS

MADE UP BY DEREK HENDERSON AND MATILDA DODS

Make up, and the beauty industry when subtracted from narratives of both mass consumerism, and oppressive beauty standards, contains the potential for rebellious lightheartedness. The personal is political, but that does not mean that either can’t be fun. The new identity of the beauty industry is fun, embracing its inherent frivolity and its revolutionary potential as a political force.
