For those of you not living down under, Australia Day is a celebration of everything it means to be Australian.
In honour of this, we’ve picked 7 Aussie Babes (in no particular order) who make inspire us to keep setting huge goals, knowing we have the potential to reach them!
THESSY + YIOTA KOUZOUKAS
Creative and Managing Directors of Sabo Skirt.
Creative and Managing Directors of Sabo Skirt.
While both Thessy and Yiota were studying, working part-time and blogging, this powerful team launched an online store. Working like mad for nine months, they got their opportunity when a cocktail dress went viral. Instead of riding the wave, these switched on women used their business minds to launch their own label – Sabo Skirt and have been going from success to success ever since!
As if you need even more inspiration from these two, their insta has 1.6m followers and is so beautifully created we fall in love with everything they post. }
These women are both mothers, business women and all round beautiful beams of inspiring energy.
GEMMA WARD
2010 Vogue Paris model of the decade, screen and stage actress
Yeah, that title is impressive and probably doesn’t do this talented women justice. Gemma is a super model - the youngest ever to appear on an American Vogue cover and her modelling accolades just get more impressive from there. But, being the strong ambitious woman that she is, beyond modelling she has also featured in the Australian Indie Film, The Black Balloon.

STEPHANIE GILMORE
7 time World Surf League Champion
Stephanie is on track to become the most dominant female surfer in history. Winning her first title in 2007, claiming her most recent title in 2018, she has inspired an entire generation of women to go pro in a sport traditionally lead by men. Here’s to equality everywhere! We love her vibes and are completely obsessed with watching her every move in the water.
