Best friends Nikki Campbell and Sophie Coote do everything together, having founded Sir The Label, a favourite for its feminine dresses, worn by the likes of Olivia Munn, Kate Hudson and Michelle Williams, the dynamic blonde duo also live together near bustling Bondi Beach in Sydney. Taking a break from designing their next collection (you can shop the most recent one at Superette), we asked Coote and Campbell to join forces and share what’s keeping them motivated.

Our style icons are: Julie Pelipas, Princess Diana, Lauren Hutton. Just to name a few…
The best book we’ve read in the last year is: How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell. It seems timely but turned out being so much more than just the title. We highly recommend it.

The beauty product we can’t live without is: Our skincare routine, we both visit Solstice Skin here in Bondi regularly and absolutely can’t live without Hayley and her products.
