WS has unveiled new outfits for its 9000 store team members nationally after collaborating with three Australian designers. Team members will get to choose which artist’s designs to adorn their t-shirts as part of a wider revamp of BWS work wardrobes. “We want our team members to feel empowered and wear clothes that reflect their personality and style,” said BWS Managing Director Scott Davidson about the new initiative. Blacktown artist and designer Bianca Beers is an independent artist and designer specialising in digital illustration and was chosen as one of the three designers for the collaboration. More page 5.
