About:

Oyster is an Australian style magazine, set up in 1994 and published bi-monthly. The magazine features fashion, music, film and art features, as well as exclusive international fashion editorial. Oyster showcases the work of leading photographers and young up-and-coming talent from around the world, and is renowned for its avant-garde approach to style.

As of early 2009, creative direction of the magazine was taken over by Shane Sakkeus, the co-creator of PETIT MAL! magazine.
