On the Runway:

Alamahri | Shrydhee Nasen

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.

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.
