5 Local Designer Fashion Labels To Keep On Your Radar 

From workwear staples to statement-makers, here are the designer brands we’re Wishlisting right now.

Looking for a wedding guest outfit or perhaps new workwear staples to add to your rotation, or a new season investment to love and wear on repeat? Whether you’re in need of a wardrobe update ahead of the change in season, or you’re simply looking for a signature designer piece, look no further than the likes of local designers like CAMILLA AND MARC, Christopher Esber and more. Such brands are the pinnacle of our fashion industry. Elegant in design, often carrying out more sustainable practices, designing with quality and timelessness always in mind; these are just a few reasons we love Australian fashion. 

This month we are shining the light on a selection of our designer labels to keep on your radar. From cult classics to new favourites, here are five brands that will forever stand the test of time and continue to set the tone for tasteful trends and absolute must-haves. 

Shona Joy

Founded just over 20 years ago, Shona Joy established their roots as a brand at Bondi markets in the heart of Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Fast becoming a brand synonymous with the perfect dress for any occasion, Shona Joy has stood the test of time as a brand offering classic female silhouettes. Wedding guests and Mother-of-the-Brides will love the latest drop of satin slip dresses, tailored pants and separates.

Romance was Born

Truly iconic, Romance Was Born epitomises fun meets classic fashion. Their aesthetic is truly joyous; each piece of fashion meticulously created as its own work of art. Nobody does colour and print quite like Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales, best friends and head designers of the local Australian label. The Pink Reef Party Dress is our pick for anyone who likes to stand out.

His mix of innovation and femininity in fashion is effortless and an absolute must-have for any wardrobe – if it’s good enough for Zendaya, Dua Lipa, Hailey Beiber and the like, it’s good enough for us. His garments are sophisticated, easy wearing and will stand the test of time.

First founded in 2003, the instantly recognisable brand has always remained a favourite for those who appreciate quality fashion. Innovative, transformational and a creative mix of versatility and aesthetic, CAMILLA AND MARC never fail our wardrobes.
