What does it take to style Tyra Banks, shoot on an Alaskan glacier, or make an $8 thrift find look like designer? On this episode of Nothing To Wear, Leigh Campbell sits down with Sydney stylist and creative director Monica Morales.

From her Salvadorian roots and Thursday night retail shifts to styling global campaigns, Monica shares the realities of the fashion industry and her secrets to high-impact style on a budget.

Plus, they cover her rules for shopping pre-loved on Depop and eBay, why accessories are the "salt and pepper" of an outfit, how to wear chartreuse, and styling hacks for pieces you already own.
