We asked our readers to nominate Australian women they considered to be extremely influential and the response has been overwhelming. We profile two of the six inspiring achievers and reveals their lessons for success.
Carla Zampatti, 68, Fashion Designer
Carla Zampatti is a pioneer of Australian fashion. She produced her first collection in 1965, at a time when it was highly unusual for women to start their own businesses, and within 10 years had built a chain of boutiques. She has held directorships and been decorated in honours lists, but for women, Carla will remain the designer of choice when they are looking for something special. “She makes any woman look good and feel great in simple, classic clothes,” says The Weekly’s Market Editor, Olivia Fleming.
