OH to rock a Rachael Ruddick

Rachael Hosken Ruddick

An early career in luxury goods and a life-long passion for design has seen Rachael Hosken Ruddick take Australian-designed accessories to a new level. After nearly 15 years spent with the LVMH group, including managing the Christian Dior fashion business and the Moet & Chandon brand in Australia, Rachael established the Rachael Ruddick label.

Rachael had long recognised the potential of stunning Australian leathers, coveted by global fashion players, citing, “I just couldn’t believe the worlds most coveted leather from Australia had not been embraced in a fashion sense locally. Aside from the stunning core materials, I wanted to develop a brand which celebrated Australian style and our sense of attitude… and for these highly sought after elements to resonate from every piece”.

Evident in Ruddick’s collections are classic design references, inspired by a life of travel and an enduring appreciation of timeless style. Rachael lives and works by the ocean in beautiful Sydney, and is stirred by her environment each and every day.

McLean & Page welcomes Maurie & Eve.. A colourful spring is upon us!

Kelly Davies, Maya Clemmensen & Scott Davies are the celebrated design trio behind the Sydney based women's wear label, Maurie & Eve.

Founded in 2004, the label is named after Kelly and Scott's stylish grandparents Maurie and Eve, whose chance meeting reads like a modern-day John Keats poem.

With a name steeped in history, the label uses subtle style references from past decades, utilising these starting points to create modern and accessible fashion items.

Having established themselves as a mainstay within Australia's burgeoning fashion industry, they have garnered a dedicated following of devotees, who favour their contemporary use of fabrics, colour and fit.

Not stopping with just apparel, the label has evolved to offer a range of highly popular footwear and a capsule collection of swimwear for summer.

The Maurie and Eve girl has a confident and relaxed approach to style with a knack for combining feminine styles with a tougher edge.

The following styles and more are in store now, waiting to be snapped up for the sunny weather!
