    CONNECTING FOUNDERS FROM THE WORLDS OF ART, DESIGN, INTERIORS, FASHION & TEXTILES

    Evolving from the magazine started in 2015, ESTILA is the invaluable resource and a hub for ambitious, creative founders. Our ESTILA bookazines are the modern way to consume information. It takes you from reader to participant by providing helpful, purposeful content in a tangible, practical way and bringing relevant, receptive people together. From the start our mission is to support purpose driven brands, designers, artists and creatives who wish to expand their audience, market and brand. Constantly providing you with up-to-date industry insights and introducing new inspiring creative talents, ESTILA is an ever evolving platform inspired by the ideas and needs of its partners and community members.

    With background in design, retail and business, ESTILA is run by Karolina Barnes, creative director and chief storyteller at brand design agency and business consultancy STUDIO/ESTILA. Utilising her knowledge and experiences spanning over almost three decades, her expertise lies in the ability to spot collaborative potentials and connect brands, and people, in opportune ways.
