ELLERY

After completing a certificate in Fashion Design and Production in Perth, Western Australia, Ellery made her way over to London to attend highly acclaimed fashion school, Central St. Martins. It was here that she completed summer school studying Fashion Illustration and Sketchbook Building, developing the invaluable design skills she now possesses.

“My lecturer was so excited by my abilities and tried his best to talk me into attending St. Martins for the full four year degree. He kept telling me how I had the ability to be a fashion rock star, but at the time my sights were set on settling into Sydney and excelling in my field as a stylist. I thought I should get as much experience as I could in fashion media before making the jump into design.” Now with all that experience tucked under her belt, ELLERY the label was born.

Previously working for over 4 years at Russh magazine as a crucial part of the creative team, Kym watched the magazine rapidly develop into one of the most cutting edge and renowned fashion titles in Australia. Kym’s keen eye and avant-garde inspiration has translated both onto the pages of Russh and then into her label ELLERY creating a brand of international recognition.

“I felt like there was a small gap in the market for well made, fashion forward clothing. Clothing that came out of a label that created its own trends yet refreshed its image each season - as we see in many of the international design houses.”

Editorial coverage of ELLERY has gone from strength to strength, thrusting the label to the elite end of Australian designers. Vogue Australia’s April ‘08 issue cover shoot saw Ellery included as the only Australian – an incredible coup for the designer. Add to this is stellar and continuing coverage in Harper’s Bazaar, Madison, Russh, Yen and Shop Till You Drop, ELLERY’s fast tracking from the one to watch to the one everybody wants.
