Founder and creative director Vanessa Pearce has spent a decade building The Wolf Gang around one clear idea: standing out is the point. Bold colour, distinctive silhouettes and pieces designed to shift how you carry yourself have become the label's signature.

She is the third portrait in The Threads Between Us, this year's ADL Fashion Week campaign celebrating the people, places and creative connections woven through Adelaide's fashion community.

From one suede clutch to a label stocked across the globe, The Wolf Gang has grown from its Adelaide studio, slowly, intentionally and without losing its voice.

What has kept Vanessa creating from Adelaide, with the world as her market?

Her story continues tomorrow.

The room comes alive at 6pm. ’s story starts long before service.

Listen as the chef and restaurateur takes us beyond the noise and theatre of a full dining room and into the rituals, care and community that hold it together.

Chef and restaurateur Duncan Welgemoed has built a career turning dinner into theatre. At Africola , the room is loud, hot and alive. Personal style is part of the performance.

He is the next portrait in The Threads Between Us, this year's ADL Fashion Week campaign celebrating the people, places and creative connections woven through Adelaide's fashion community.

Because fashion does not stop at the runway. It moves through the city's kitchens, dining rooms and late-night rituals, and through the people who give them their character.

Who is Duncan before the room fills, and after the last table leaves?

His story continues tomorrow.

Radio host, presenter and mum of three, Bel Sloane moves effortlessly between many versions of herself. Personal style remains a constant, helping her move between each version of herself with confidence, ease and authenticity

She opens The Threads Between Us, this year's ADL Fashion Week campaign celebrating the people, places and creative connections woven through Adelaide’s fashion community.

Because fashion isn't only about what's worn. It lives in our identities, our daily rituals and the ways we choose to show up in the world

But who is Bel when the microphone is off?

Her story continues tomorrow.
