KOI GIRL

KOI GIRL is a Perth-based label founded by Tanya Stewart-Carter, dedicated to reimagining authentic vintage kimono and obi silks into contemporary one-of-a-kind designs. Guided by the Japanese philosophy of mottainai — the belief that nothing of value should be wasted — every piece is shaped with intention, from full garments to the smallest offcut. In this way, beauty, craftsmanship, and history remain in circulation, creating a timeless loop of preservation. Since its establishment in 2008, KOI GIRL has become known for transforming heritage silks into modern, sustainable fashion and accessories that celebrate individuality and timeless elegance.

GINNY GREY

GINNY GREY is a contemporary made-to-order Australian label dedicated to the principles of slow fashion, ethical production, and conscious consumption. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to transcend seasons, honouring timelessness over trend.

Our collections place a strong emphasis on luxurious natural fabrics, including silks and linens, chosen for their beauty, breathability, and sustainability. The GINNY GREY aesthetic is defined by a refined femininity, expressed through elegant silhouettes and exceptional craftsmanship.

Every garment is designed, cut, and constructed in our Perth, Western Australia atelier with precision and care. By embracing small-batch, made-to-order production, we reduce waste and ensure that each piece receives the attention it deserves — creating garments that are not only beautiful and enduring, but also align with a conscious way of living.

NOTCHI

Notchi is where creative chaos crashes into streetwear reality. Founded by Siri in Perth and raised on caffeine and curiosity, Notchi reworks deadstock denim, silks, cottons and a touch of madness into something oddly beautiful. Every piece is a limited-edition glitch in the system: hand-dyed, hand-printed, and definitely not mass produced. Think of it as wearable rebellion, stitched with intention.

Msoues

Msoues Brand was founded by Moroccan fashion designer Simo, now based in Perth, Australia. Known for his passion for wearable, sustainable streetwear, Simo draws creative energy from two worlds. His roots in Marrakech - the vibrant “Red City” - bring cultural depth, echoing the medina’s earthy ochres, vivid greens, and shimmering golds. Living in Australia, he’s inspired by outback hues, deep ocean blues, and WA’s fiery sunsets. Most Msoues pieces are crafted from reclaimed and recycled materials sourced from local markets. Each fabric tells a story, transformed by Simo into something fresh and modern. Every garment is handmade with care, intention, and positivity.

Magnetica

Magnetica is a handcrafted body-adornment brand created from recycled materials and found treasures collected in second-hand shops.. Each piece is fully handmade using traditional tools and intuitive construction, allowing every chain, jewel, and fragment to carry the memory of past lives. No two designs are ever alike — each one is created in dialogue with the materials, shaped by spontaneity and emotion. By giving forgotten objects new purpose, Magnetica celebrates transformation, value, and the beauty of imperfection.  Designed for those who dress with intention, Magnetica speaks to free and authentic souls who see fashion as identity, play, and self-expression. Each piece becomes both an ornament and a statement: a celebration of individuality and sustainability.

JACQUELINE MIN

Born and raised in Myanmar, Jacqueline Min grew up in her father’s tailoring shop, where sewing became part of everyday life. From repairing garments to learning the precision of construction, craftsmanship was ingrained from an early age.

After moving to Australia, Jacqueline faced the challenge of rebuilding her life in a completely new environment. Years later, driven by a passion she could no longer ignore, she returned to fashion, studying design, refining her skills, and slowly building the foundation of her brand.

Today, every Jacqueline Min piece is handmade in Australia with a focus on structure, precision, and longevity. Specialising in corsetry, the brand represents strength, resilience, and intentional design.

Jacqueline Min is built on patience, craftsmanship, and the belief that clothing should make a woman feel powerful, confident, and certain in herself.

PAZZA

Pazza embraces femininity in its most instinctive form- raw yet intentional. We design for the woman with a wild spirit at heart; one who embraces contradiction, transformation, softness, strength, and individuality at once.

Rooted in craftsmanship and advanced construction, Pazza creates garments with depth, sensuality, and emotional resonance. Through techniques such as beading, appliqué, and textile manipulation, each garment is an expression of emotional complexity and individuality.

At its core, Pazza seeks to create clothing that resonates beyond appearance- pieces that feel intimate, emotive, and deeply personal to the wearer.
