Praise for Opshopulence

‘Faye is a sartorial alchemist. She has a magic ability to create what others can’t, mixing fossicked treasures with equal parts vision and love. Through fashion, Faye builds aspiration and a sense of community. She sees the beauty in discarded items and gives them and their wearers a “Cinderella” moment: inspired by Chanel, Gucci, and Gaultier. Most of all, Faye has the kind of energy you just want to be around. Warm, inspiring, generous, and infectiously up-beat. Faye’s wisdom, styling knowledge and optimism are exactly what the world needs right now. Your wardrobe, eco-footprint and wallet will thank you.’ – Katrina Blowers, Television Newsreader, Award-Winning Journalist, Podcaster and Author

‘Faye is a true professional and creative mastermind. She’s at the forefront of the fashion industry and a leader in sustainable, eco and recycled clothing. Her creativity is second to none. What she brings to life for our television segments always inspires and excites. Faye is a self-starter and essentially produces herself which is rare to come across. We can always rely on Faye to deliver… and with that… she always brings a smile, calmness and a beautiful demeanour that is infectious to be around.’ – Sarah Mason, Senior Producer, Entertainment STUDIO 10

‘Faye is the Queen of transformations, helping women look and feel fabulous, with a clean conscience and without spending a fortune—bonus! Her creative and innovative ideas using belts, scarves and brooches shows us how easy and achievable it is to turn one look into hundreds. Faye’s likeability is the cherry on top, making her exceptional TV talent and a pleasure to work with. This is the book we all need to embrace second hand fashion, elevate our wardrobes, and discover our own unique sense of style.’ – Britt Cohen, Reporter, Today Show, Australia
