BottomJustine Cullen has spent her life writing for and about women. A reformed beauty editor and award-winning fashion magazine editor, she has formerly held the roles of editor-in-chief of the much-loved SHOP Til You Drop and ELLE Australia magazines. Under Justine’s direction, ELLE Australia became known for its publishing innovation, championing of women, diversity of talent, and brave and globally celebrated cover executions.
Justine is known for her sometimes amusing, sometimes provocative, generally self-indulgent editor’s letters, and for her speaking appearances, where she’s discussed everything from the demise of fast fashion to ethics in artificial intelligence, and whether or not to get a Brazilian wax before going into labour. Justine lives in Sydney with her husband and four children. Her memoir Semi-Gloss: Magazines, motherhood, and misadventures in having it all is published by Allen & Unwin.
