Which is how and why The Way was born.”

Stores across Australia will follow in the second half of 2019.
“The Australian consumer is absolutely shopping online but we also want to ensure that our customer who still loves to shop in store can experience the brand up close, which is why an aggressive retail rollout will follow the website launch. A tactile experience is important for The Way as we want our customers to touch, feel and try on the brand,” said Hush.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=”65790″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hush will also be sharing her fashion knowledge and experience with consumers via her blog, VIP events and through social media channels.
“I have two decades worth of knowledge I want to share with my customer. I will be working with The Way team to decipher trends, so our customer is armed with knowledge when she shops at The Way,” said Hush
