Who is Gala Darling?

“A tattooed Miss Manners with pink hair…” — The Bargain Queen

“Gala is a lethal cocktail of sex, style and wit. Sip and enjoy at your own risk…” — Violet Blue

“A local yet globehopping fashion genius…” — Sir Frederick Chook

Hello! My name’s Gala Darling (yes, that is my real name!). I’m a writer & editor with a big, pink-coloured crush on all things in the realm of style, fashion & aesthetics. I am currently based in Melbourne, Australia, though I’m originally from New Zealand (& I travel a lot).

I am keen on changing my hair colour, celebrating every day, really colourful tattoos, flying first class, old typewriters, public firework displays, dancing, New York & Tokyo. I am also an incredible book fiend & if you buy me something from my Amazon wishlist I will probably love you forever.

I’m a former Cosmopolitan fashion columnist & I always have freelance work on the go. In other words: yes, I am available for hire! Email me to discuss your project!

If you’d like to write to me seeking advice (or just to say “hi”), you’re very welcome. Having said that, I receive between 200 & 300 emails a day, so I can’t reply to everyone! If you want my help with something, please see Gala’s Guide To Asking Questions!

For the curious, here are some frequently asked questions! You can read more about the iCiNG project here.
