“This connection to water is part of the inspiration behind GALI. GALI, in Kamilaroi language, means water. Naming the brand GALI was my way of connecting my love for the water with my culture and passion for First Nations art. GALI Swimwear fuses Australia’s First Nation culture with sustainable men’s swimwear. We ethically collaborate with artists and communities to create premium swimwear that is designed to be celebrated around the world. Our swimwear starts conversations…”

IHRAA SWIM By Nat Dann

“I draw my inspiration from my culture and upbringing as a salt water woman. The land, the sea, the colors and the beautiful Kimberley landscapes all play integral parts in my design process. I’d always be in search of the perfect bikini but could never really find anything that I loved. For me it was always about the prints… I love wearing one-of-a-kind garments that nobody else has because they tell a story and so Ihraa Swim was born.”

JOSEPH & JAMES By Juanita Page

“When I was young, I became interested in fashion after being drawn into the romanticism of evening wear on red carpets and the wedding gowns that would appear at the end of couture fashion shows. However, when I began studying fashion design, the realisation dawned on me that everyone seemingly defaulted to creating womenswear. At that moment, I decided I’d take up the mantle of being part of the next generation of Australian menswear designers.”
Juanita launched JOSEPH & JAMES alongside her husband, Ashford Page, together creating a place customers can get something distinct but with longevity in mind—both in design and quality.
“My design aesthetic is influenced by my love for timeless sartorial elements and the creativity that flows when designing within that discipline, coupled with my desire to bring that refined essence into the streetwear environment. I aim to provide a unique signature on each piece, with the intent to apply more artistry into everyday functional menswear.”
