The Journal gathers earlier notes, makers, archive material and conversations from the Footage and Eastern Hill years.
What began in 2003 as Footage evolved over two decades through clothing, objects, hospitality and independent makers. Some entries document Meet the Maker sessions, product histories and earlier collaborations. Others reflect the broader interests and references that continue to shape Eastern Hill today.
Together, they form an ongoing archive of the people, products and ideas that have informed the store over time.
Concrete Playground featured Footage in 2021, documenting the store’s evolution from early sneaker culture into a broader independent lifestyle and cultural retail concept in Darlinghurst, Sydney.
Time Out Sydney featured Footage in 2010 during the store’s early years as one of Darlinghurst’s destination sneaker and streetwear retailers, recognised for its independently sourced footwear, apparel and hard to find international labels.
