Frankie magazine is a glossy, monthly, Australian young women’s magazine, published by Morrison Media. Frankie was launched in October 2004 by editor Louise Bannister and creative director Lara Burke (formely of Morrison's teen title, Chik magazine).
Bannister and Burke were eager to present "great affordable fashion, inspiring art, interesting reads and the best photography" in a magazine "written by 20 somethings for 20 somethings"[1]. The magazine has rapidly burgeoned during its considerably short lifespan, garnering local prestige and a readership of some 120,000.
The magazine is celebrated for its inspirational interviews with everyday people and smart, witty articles, most notably by its senior writers, Mia Timpano, Benjamin Law, Edmund Burke, and contributing writer Marieke Hardy.
The magazine is also recognised for its cute and fetching design, characteristically featuring Polaroid camera photography, poster artwork and a strangely beautiful but unknown young woman on each cover. Featured artists have included Abbey McCulloch and Catalina Estrada.
The magazine's reputation has also attracted celebrity authors, such as Youth Group and indietronica singer-songwriter Sarah Blasko.
