BANDED TOGETHER

Malvern Town Hall, Malvern

RUNWAY 1

With an absolute knowledge of quality fabrics and trusted and established manufacturers, designer Dana Burrows created Banded Together - a Melbourne based women's ready to wear collection.

Following the 2015 sale of the cult knicker and sleepwear brand she cofounded, she had some time to create pieces for herself - silk pyjama suits and day to night dresses - the quality was always premium. Knowing that these everyday items were not readily available to most people’s everyday budgets, she believed and worked tirelessly, to develop a solution.

HANSEN AND GRETEL

Malvern Town Hall, Malvern

RUNWAY 1

Hansen and Gretel’s design ethos encompasses a certain ‘femininity with bite’.  Sharp, uncomplicated, and cut to compliment the female form, but often underscored with a masculine accent.

The name Hansen & Gretel was chosen to represent this synthesis of masculine feminine, that yin & yang where ‘Hansen’ is a nod to the designer’s father’s name. 

‘Gretel’ constitutes the idea of womanhood, the girl, the sister, and our journey as female’s which is always a prevalent theme in each collection.

With premium stockists throughout Australia and overseas, best sellers are tweaked and reworked each season, ensuring the brand is always progressing their broad customer-base. 

Applauded as an accessible brand, appealing to all statuses, ages and budgets.

Designs are never over-complicated, instead focusing on producing quality, luxury in classic silhouettes. There is an ethereal strength throughout the H&G aesthetic, with collection’s catering to every occasion.
