From a self funded linen capsule to international luxury retailers, Nikki Campbell and Sophie Coote have spent more than a decade building SIR. Now, an anniversary campaign in Greece and a Paris showroom mark the next stage for the Australian label.

An exploration of Australian design through contrasting silhouettes, colour and texture.

For now, the conversations surrounding Witchery suggest that its changing image is being noticed. With Lara Worthington, Dani Michelle and Elsa Hosk contributing to its recent direction, the retailer is presenting a different version of a brand Australians have known for decades.

I was spending my Sunday evening as most of us girls do doom scrolling my Pinterest feed, when I came across a tweed jacket that immediately stopped me. It was one of the saves that quickly becomes ten. A cropped jacket led to an old Chanel suit, which led to Claudia Schiffer on a runway in the 90s and I quickly realised I knew exactly what tweed looked like without knowing all that much about where it actually came from.

In April 2023, Kate Nixon was on her honeymoon in Thailand when she opened an email titled "KYLIE." Inside was a link to Kylie Jenner's Coachella post, wearing Kat The Label's Frankie Underwire in white. Nixon had gifted the piece months earlier and hadn't heard anything back since. By that point she'd been running the label for eight years. Nixon started sewing at 15, altering her own clothes on a toy sewing machine because nothing off the rack fit her properly, then teachin

That frustration is part of what Australian founders Eri Stewart and Lucy Hosken are trying to solve with Yootopia, a new AI powered fashion discovery platform currently preparing to launch. Their premise is less about giving an algorithm even more control over what you buy and more about allowing you to build your own fashion universe in the first place.

The result is colour that's less intimidating and far more wearable proof that the best outfits don't always follow the colour wheel. Bu

While the runways set the agenda, Copenhagen's street style deserves just as much attention. This season, attendees embraced sculptural accessories, playful proportions and that effortless mix of practicality and polish the city has become known for. Here are the looks we haven't stopped thinking about. The best street style always leaves you wanting to get dressed, not go shopping. Copenhagen continues to do exactly that, reminding us that the most memorable outfits aren't b

Cap toes never actually left. Chanel's own flats and slingbacks have quietly kept the shape alive for years, worn by people who never thought of it as a "trend," just a wardrobe basic that always worked. What's changing right now isn't that cap toes are coming back. It's that they're about to stop being a classic and start being the shoe, and the shift traces to one very specific runway moment. Matthieu Blazy's debut for Chanel back in October leaned hard into the house's arc

Every few months, fashion decides shoulder pads are back. The headlines start rolling in, designers send a few strong shouldered blazers down the runway and suddenly we're all acting like we've uncovered some forgotten styling trick from the '80s. The oversized versions might disappear for a season or two, but shoulder pads themselves never actually go anywhere. Open the lining of almost any well made blazer and you'll find some level of structure built into the shoulder. The

Zimmermann's Fall 2026 collection, Trailblazer, wasn't inspired by a decade or a destination, but by a group of Australian women who quietly rewrote the rules long before anyone thought to call them trailblazers. Nicky Zimmermann looked to author Miles Franklin, whose refusal to write the stories expected of her helped shape Australian literature, alongside Kathleen Howell and Jean Robertson, who drove across Australia in the 1920s at a time when the country barely had roads

This isn't a guide to where every garment is made. That's a different conversation. This is about celebrating the brands that started here, are still Australian owned, and continue to shape Australian fashion. Here are five labels worth knowing.
