On the Runway:

Alamahri | Shrydhee Nasen

ALAMAHRI is an Australian slow fashion label reimagining heritage craftsmanship for the modern wardrobe. Working with hand block-printed textiles created by artisan communities in India, Nasen designs contemporary collections that celebrate generations of craftsmanship through thoughtful silhouettes, natural fibres, and intentional design. Every piece is brought to life in Australia with a focus on quality, longevity, and conscious production. Guided by a deep respect for traditional craft, Nasen’s work celebrates the skill and artistry of the makers behind every textile, creating collections that honour cultural heritage while embracing a contemporary aesthetic.

Giuseppina | Katja Epis

Fashion and design are tools for Epis to explore themes of memory and nostalgia and translate these into wearable garments. Epis’s design process highlights sustainability and circularity through intentional design, creating heirloom garments that are meant to be treasured and beloved forever. Epis makes use of second hand materials frequently and no scraps ever go to waste, constantly being repurposed and reused in further garments.

Frogmouth Creative | Chelsea Upham

Born in Maine, USA, this self-taught sustainable artist is driven by a deep impulse to build, craft, and alter materials. Their love for the planet shapes every piece they make, focusing entirely on sustainability and conscious fashion design. Upham maintains a strict commitment to natural materials, avoiding polyesters and plastic-based fibers. Through sewing and reimagined fashion, each creation tells a story of survival, rebirth, and intentional eco friendly design.

Koi Girl | Tanya Stewart-Carter

Koi Girl is inspired by the beauty and history woven into vintage kimono and obi, creating one-of-a-kind contemporary garments that honour these remarkable textiles while giving them a new life. Through thoughtful upcycling and slow fashion, Koi Girl celebrates individuality, sustainability and the enduring cultural heritage of Japanese textiles. Each design is a unique expression of craftsmanship, preserving the stories of these treasured fabrics while reimagining them for contemporary wardrobes.

Melaleuca Rise | Leuca Jane Ziemons

Melaleuca Rise is an ever unfolding Slow Fashion Project that honours individual expression and social responsibility. Founded by interdisciplinary artist, designer and therapeutic arts researcher, Leuca Jane Ziemons. The label offers One-of-One Collection pieces and Made-on-Desire garments for people who value creativity, heritage clothing, and meaningful connection. Each garment is designed and made in the historic village of Bridgetown, Western Australia. Melaleuca Rise offers an invitation to explore a more considered approach to clothing, where uniqueness, narrative and authenticity are held in equal reverence.

Msoues | Simo El Msoues

Msoues Brand was founded by Moroccan fashion designer Simo, who is now based in Perth, Australia. Driven by a passion for wearable, sustainable streetwear, Simo creates pieces that blend contemporary design with meaningful cultural influences. His Moroccan heritage remains at the heart of the brand, drawing inspiration from Marrakech, the vibrant "Red City", where the rich colours of the ancient medina, earthy ochres, lush greens and shimmering golds continue to shape his creative vision.

Since moving to Australia, Simo has expanded this palette by embracing the country's diverse natural landscapes. The soft tones of the outback, the deep blues of the Indian Ocean and the fiery colours of Western Australian sunsets have become integral to the brand's identity. This unique fusion of Moroccan tradition and Australian landscapes creates a distinctive aesthetic that is both bold and timeless. Through every collection, Msoues Brand celebrates craftsmanship, sustainability and the beauty of cultures and environments coming together.

Sustylable Label | Lea Klien
Lea Klein is a stage and costume designer and founder of Sustylable Label. After years of creating fleeting pieces for productions, Klein wanted to make something long-lasting, with a purpose and the smallest footprint possible. She now design customisable and sustainable fashion and accessories made locally from 100% organic cotton, using her own patterns, printed here in Perth in a made-to-order process. Klein reuses all the off-cuts and turns them into accessories like headbands. Sustylable Lable aims is to make fashion that’s thoughtful, stylish and transparent.
