In Conversation With - The Anniversary Edition

My very first K&K piece was the Bold Round Signet ring for my 18th birthday (10 years ago!) From there, they’ve been a part of every major milestone in my life. We created a custom pinky ring for my 21st birthday, designed my engagement ring together in 2023, and shortly after picked our wedding bands.

Sara and Maddy feel like extended family at this point - they’re genuine, they listen, they’re creative as hell and so passionate about what they do and the brand they’ve created. I’m incredibly grateful to have watched the brand take over and I draw so much inspiration from both Sara and Maddy.

Knowing these pieces will eventually be passed down to my baby girl is a blessing in itself. Here’s to the next 10+ years of Kate & Kole.

I first met Maddy years ago when working in the fashion industry together and she would often talk about the brand she was building on the side with her best friend, Sara. Even then, the pieces were timeless and stunning and it was clear how passionate they both were about what they were creating.

I started doing makeup and hair for their campaigns and it still blows me away with how far they have come since the beginning. The brand has evolved so beautifully and I’ve been truly honoured to play a small part in bringing that magic to life.

For me, Kate & Kole have created real friendships and memories, which is such a reflection of Maddy and Sara, the team and the beautiful pieces they continue to create.

I’d describe the Kate & Kole aesthetic as elegant and versatile. Each piece is so thoughtfully made and the kind of jewellery you’d want to choose for someone you love -  or invest in for yourself because it’s made with so much care. I love how beautifully the pieces transition from everyday looks to more elevated moments.

I was honoured to be asked to participate in the Kate & Kole story, especially as the brand celebrates its 10th year—a milestone that’s as inspiring as it is stylish. Being part of this journey meant immersing myself in a brand that epitomises artisanal craftsmanship, luxury and a fearless pursuit of individuality. Styling their exquisite jewellery pieces for the anniversary shoot was such a joy; each piece radiates its own story of artistry and elegance.

Getting to know the incredible women behind the brand made the experience even more meaningful—truly one of the most memorable days on set.

Here’s to a decade of pushing boundaries, empowering women and defining what it means to be effortlessly chic. Congratulations!

The first time of many working with Kate and Kole was for the 2022 New Era campaign. I remember their vibrancy and enthusiasm. It felt fresh and honest. The team were equally impressive which spoke volumes as to what they were to achieve. We went on to create many more beautiful moments after that.

It was a privilege to collaborate with Kate & Kole in celebrating their 10th Anniversary campaign. For this milestone, I introduced Linnea Ghondahl, a long-time muse, whose presence so naturally reflected the essence of the Kate & Kole woman.

The atmosphere on set was one of rare synergy and artistry, resulting in images that capture both the timeless elegance of the brand and the significance of a decade of vision. Each piece showcased is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and beauty.

I am deeply honoured to have contributed to this celebration of ten years of creativity and dedication from founders Sara and Maddy.

It was such an honour to front the brand’s 10-year anniversary campaign. Few things are more exciting than collaborating with a team of creatives to bring a shared vision to life. I’m especially inspired by brands with a strong aesthetic and clear sense of identity, yet the confidence to allow a shoot to evolve organically. That’s when the truly special moments emerge.

Through a beautifully natural collaboration of creative trust and freedom. The K&K team gave me the space and scope to learn and understand the brand and their pieces through my lens and vision. Our worlds combined felt like the perfect match!

Working as the hair and makeup artist on the Kate & Kole 10 year campaign was so so inspiring. The sense of community within the team made it feel incredibly special and to be part of a milestone celebrating a decade of success was such an honour. The images we created were truly beautiful, timeless and full of meaning. I feel so grateful to have been a part of something so special.

A standout moment working together was when It’s All G helped Kate & Kole to amplify their recent residencies - hosting one-on-one media appointments in Sydney at the Ellison Studios Apartment, followed by intimate influencer showings in Melbourne inside an incredible private penthouse. It was amazing to see the brand come to life and resonate so strongly with both press and talent.

Working alongside Sara and Maddy is always inspiring. They are true powerhouses and the ultimate mum-boss duo. I really admire their drive and the way they balance it all with such polish. Their vision for Kate & Kole is so clear and every detail feels so considered. I love the brand DNA. They have created something that feels both timeless and exciting and it’s a privilege to play a small part in that journey.
