Paula Joye and Ella Joye: The Joye of Magazines and Motherhood

Paula Joye, is an icon in the publishing world...she was at the helm of some of Australia's biggest fashion and beauty magazines, Cleo, Shop til You Drop, Madison magazines. She knows a thing or two about style and beauty, but more importantly, she knows how to have fun! As she continues her career as a digital creator for her website, The Joye. This week, we had the joy, pun intended to speak with Paula and her eldest daughter Ella.

From what was supposed to be a career in Law, as Paula says, she turned left and entered the doors of Vogue magazine. The mecca, for anyone who wants to be in magazines. She started from the bottom and worked her way up to the top, she reminisces of the days when magazines were at their peak and how turning left again when the digital wave hit, was the best thing she did!

No surprise, her daughter, Ella, has found her passion in fashion, creating her own label, My Friends Are Yours. Selling out her first collection in minutes!! She's learned great life lessons from Paula's worth ethic, but also the fact that Paula was an extremely hands on mother, made their bond and relationship even stronger.

And of course, having been in magazines myself, we had to talk about The Devil Wears Prada, and forgive my fan-girl moments but Paula was an idol in the halls of ACP Magazines. This interview was a real JOY, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
