Dyspnea
Founded in 2013 by designers Jameen Zalfen and Rachel Motteram after bonding in TAFE, Dyspnea is a whole lot of glitz and glamour. This brand is all about sustainability and inclusivity, with sizes ranging from extra small to five extra large, along with pieces being made to order and hand-beaded in Indonesia. From shaggy shrugs to dainty slip dresses, Dyspnea’s designs are a dreamy fusion of femininity and edge, dripping in intricate embellishments and eye-catching textures. The brand’s signature aesthetic — think pastel hues, shimmering fabrics, and playful silhouettes — has made it a cult favourite among fashion lovers who aren’t afraid to stand out…like Abbie Chatfield, Carmen Assopardi (@zigs_mum), Shayley Carter (@wolfshayley) and even Lizzo, who’s worn the brand’s glimmering flares on stage.
Sara Fox
Founded by Sara Fox Smith and Brie Langley, Sara Fox is your go-to for luxury resort wear with a minimalist edge. Everything is designed with their customers in mind, from the lush fabrications (think breathable cottons, eco-certified cupro, and soft silks) to the super-wearable designs. It’s elevated capsule dressing meets holiday allure. The kind of effortless pieces you buy once and wear for seasons to come.
Nisí
Nisí (meaning ‘island’ in Greek) is the bold, new-wave surf brand from West Aussie, Amelia Eftos. Worn by the likes of Abbie Chatfield, her bright, energetic designs take cues from mid-century modern art and island life — providing a refreshing break from the boho beach aesthetic. Think large graphic polka dots, electric colours and unique fits. Not only do these eye-catching fits look good, but they’re also sustainable and designed for in-water performance. Truly, chefs kiss.
Mountain & Moon
Founded and designed by Perth friends Audrey and Ashton, Mountain & Moon is Perth’s home of confident, can’t ignore, statement jewellery. From dazzling oversized earrings to chunky rings and sculptural pendants, everything is designed in-house, drawing inspiration from their own adventures. The result is a refreshingly unique aesthetic that cool girls can’t get enough of, including icons like Dua Lipa, Halsy, Em Davies and Rowi Singh. The velvet-clad Mount Hawthorn flagship also happens to be the dreamiest boutique in all of Perth.
