4. KHALO

Distinguished by its timeless simplicity and quality, Khalo pays homage to an undeniable love of leather and androgyny. Co-founded in 2011 by Rachelle Sinclair and Fay Du Chateau, this talented duo creates structured pieces with a modern edge.

With a focus on high end fabrics, refined tailoring and androgynous shapes, Kahlo features a signature aesthetic of masterfully constructed yet wearable pieces and the philosophy that clothing should make one feel effortlessly confident and empowered.

For their autumn winter 2015 collection the pair have continued their affinity for strict, clean lines and a luxe-leather aesthetic throughout which results in pieces that are fashion forward, contemporary and elegant, and blurring the lines of femininity and masculinity. We love the pared back and effortless style of the clothes and would happily live every day in this current collection.

The brand is in demand both locally and nationally with the likes of Azealia Banks, Rose McGowan, Rachael Taylor, Emma Lung and Phoebe Tonkin all devotees of the label. But what truly sets Kahlo apart is the attention to detail, with 100% of the brand manufactured right here in Australia, and each piece individually hand crafted. What’s not to love about that?
