The cardigan, reimagined through a Rundholz lens.

The pieces we find ourselves reaching for most at this time of year always have texture, shape and a certain ease about them.

The Studio Rundholz cropped boiled wool cardigans have all three.

The boiled wool brings a beautiful density and character to the garment, holding its sculptural shape while remaining soft enough to layer without effort. Cropped through the body, they create the kind of proportion play that feels instinctive — sitting effortlessly over longer shirts, dresses and relaxed tailoring.

There’s something particularly satisfying about the contrast between the cardigan's structured form and the fluidity of the pieces worn beneath it. A simple styling gesture that changes the entire silhouette.

Thoughtful, tactile and quietly expressive. The kind of layer that becomes part of your everyday rhythm through the colder months.

Lightweight yet voluminous.

The Sanctamuerte Plumino Lungo + Plumino Midi arrive in oversized balloon silhouettes — sculptural, weightless, and built for movement.

Soft armour for cold days.
Dark volume. Quiet drama.

COMING SOON.

An icy breeze has settled in — the perfect excuse to wrap up in brushed cotton, layer on signature scarves, and finish the look with all our favourite adornments.

Winter dressing at its best: tactile, considered, and a little indulgent.

Part shirt, part jacket — the Camicia Corta distorts classic tailoring through drape, volume, and controlled disruption.

Cut oversized in fluid viscose maroquin, the silhouette folds and twists with intention, anchored by a sculptural side knot detail that shifts the garment away from the expected.

Dropped sleeves and a sharp mandarin collar bring quiet structure to the soft movement of the fabric.
Relaxed. Architectural. Unresolved in all the right ways.

Designed and ethically made in Italy by Sanctamuerte.

A dialogue in texture, tone, and atmosphere.

New Zealand label NOM*d brings its unmistakable graphic edge through the Bejewelled print in their Long Sleeve top — poetic and expressive. Paired alongside the sculptural knitwear of MM Söhn in rich Pistachio | Lichen greens, the combination feels both grounded and unexpected.

Where NOM*d delivers intensity and narrative through print, MM Söhn softens the composition with nuanced colour, tactile depth, and architectural knit structure. Together, the Melbourne and New Zealand design perspectives create a conversation between mood and form — expressive yet restrained, directional yet deeply wearable.

A perfect balance of graphic drama and quiet organic texture for the Autumn | Winter season.

From hundreds of tiny threads emerges the MM Söhn Modulated Rib Knit Cardigan —
a seamless composition of texture, structure, and movement.

Wholegarment® engineered for effortless wear,
its multi-tonal rib knit shifts softly through light and shadow,
while the reversible design transforms the silhouette with every turn.

Partially unzipped, reversed, layered —
the knit adapts intuitively to the body,
balancing technical precision with lived-in softness.

Quietly expressive knitwear ethically made in Melbourne by MM Söhn.

Moody refinement and razor-sharp tailoring define the AW26 Dress-Age collection from MM Sohn.

Deep, saturated tones collide with contrasting plaids and sharp pinstripes, creating silhouettes that feel both aristocratic and undone. There’s a quiet tension running through the collection — refined yet rebellious, polished yet instinctively raw.

Think: lady of the manor with an edge.
Structured outerwear, elongated tailoring, and layered textures evoke a sense of inherited elegance reimagined through a modern, subversive lens.

The result is a wardrobe of controlled drama — powerful, tactile, and undeniably cinematic.

JB proves the Modulated Rib Knit Vest is the season’s essential — effortless, adaptive, and considered in every detail.

Developed using whole garment technology, the knit is formed in a single, seamless construction, allowing for a clean silhouette with natural stretch and movement. No interruption, no excess — just a refined surface that sits close to the body while responding to it.

A piece that moves across moods and layers with ease — minimal in form, elevated in function.

Worn by JB.

Colour to brighten the greyest of autumn days

Think tonal warmth cutting through concrete skies, texture doing the talking, and silhouettes that hold their shape while everything else softens around them. A quiet kind of brightness — not loud, just luminous in the right light.

Cut in plush cotton-blend velvet, the Bow Pocket Drop Crotch Pant by Studio Rundholz move with a controlled ease — soft in hand, architectural in form. A dropped crotch and wide-leg silhouette extend the proportion, creating a deliberate sense of volume, drape, and momentum.

Styled with the NOM*d Play Time Long Sleeve — a fitted stretch cotton layer charged with bold graphic tension, cutting clean contrast against the softness of the pant. Refined construction, disrupted by play.

Worn by JB.
