This week, we chat with the owner of the luxury boutique store Becker Minty - Jason Minty. Becker Minty is THE go-to store for glamorous and eclectic homewares and art in Sydney. We describe his store as going on a treasure hunt, there are so many goodies you can't resist! Jason has an interesting story, he studied abroad in China, was a flight attendant for Qantas before changing paths to opening a boutique store in Potts Point. Jason has an exceptional eye for curating unique pieces and then introducing them to the Australian market.. A great example is Kelly Wearstler's homewares range, need we say more!

His passion to find eclectic and luxury pieces instead of stocking the same as other stores is a key factor to his success.

Growing up in a tight-knit multi-cultural community in Sydney's western suburbs, Antonia was raised in a traditional Italian household where everything was made by hand, including her clothes. This interest in clothes landed her first job - assistant fashion stylist for David Jones's advertising department, at 16. She then became lead stylist for the brand and freelanced for other brands and a tv station. After having children, her passion for art and desire to have an education grew strong, so she enrolled into art school at age 46. Since graduating, she has taken many leaps up the art world ranks to now one of Australia's leading artists. Her accolades all stem from just a simple longing to feel creatively fulfilled. As friends of Antonia, we couldn't be prouder. Not only is she incredibly talented, she is also one of the kindest, most thoughtful and friendliest women in the art world. We are so excited to share her story with you.

We're kicking off this season with an old pal of ours, Lucy Glade-Wright from Hunting for George. Lucy has one of those classic pivot stories we absolutely love here at House of Style. Starting off as a graphic designer, Lucy started up Hunting For George, which in it's original incarnation was a successful homewares company. But after reassessing her goals in life, work and everything in between, she decided it was time for a change, and thus, Hunting for George V.2 was born! Now known for their incredible videos of home tours, Lucy shares the behind the scenes secrets to capturing these spaces, how she's approaching the work/life balance nowadays and what's next on the cards. This is such a fun guest to kick off the new season with and we're so happy to be back! Enjoy! Thank you to KING for supporting this series of House of Style.

After a childhood in the picturesque town of Bellingen, artist Daimon Downey was ready to take the big smoke by storm with his art. But a fortuitous session jamming at a party lead to an unexpected career, the frontman of Australian dance music group Sneaky Sound System. Safe to say not your average career diversion... a few hit songs, a couple of ARIA awards and fourteen years later, he decided to hang up the headphones and get back to his first passion, painting. Nowadays, Daimon is living in Bondi in his apartment/art studio where he has taken the art scene by storm. Sold out shows, cooler than cool collaborations, and some very funky interior fit outs along the way, Daimon has made an indelible mark on the scene and there's no slowing down. With a strong pastel colour palette, his art is loud, full of life, pace and unabashed colour. We chat about the Sneaky years, where he gets his inspo, his home and what's around the corner. The man oozes cool and we had a blast chatting with him.
