Made Out Here: A Conversation on Ethical Fashion Beyond the Capitals

Join us for Made Out Here, a conversation on how place shapes ethical fashion, presented as part of the Ethical Clothing Australia Week 2026 webinar series.

Featuring Spiritus Eco Clothing, Melaleuca Rise and Pearl Button Bridal, this session explores how regional landscapes and communities inform the design, materials, production and identity of their ethical fashion businesses.

Our speakers will share the stories behind their brands and how they bring their garments to life. They discuss how connection to place can influence everything from creative direction and local relationships to slower production rhythms and the value placed on skilled craft.

This is an opportunity to look beyond the capitals and hear how fashion made in regional Australia reflects the people, places and processes behind it. This session will include an audience Q&A.
