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.

TRUE TO FORM – A PROJECT WITH BASSIKE BY DAN GOODE

TRUE TO FORM – A PROJECT WITH BASSIKE BY DAN GOODE

​​When Deborah Sams and Mary Lou Ryan co-founded Bassike in 2006 their intention was pure and without precedent - high-quality basics, honestly made. The brand name’s creative play on ‘basic’ would set the tone for the product; an offering that added interest, and integrity, to everyday essentials.
