Possum is a sustainable fibre that is not farmed for fur, it is a by-product that would otherwise be wasted in the pest control process. Its use helps prevent the destructive effects by what is considered to be a threat to the natural wildlife in New Zealand.

As an independent designer, one of the perks in having a small business is the freedom to choose who will manufacture my clothing.
Similar to a customer choosing who deserves their money, We (as producers) can choose who deserves our business.
When I decided to manufacture my men’s shirts off-shore, I travelled to over 12 factories in person with a translator. It was vital for me to see who will be making the HEW product with my own eyes. 

ECOLOGY
In keeping with the brand’s signature style, the work will feature collaborations with two emerging and refreshing creatives: Muzi and Mac.

Each piece reflects on our modern-day ecology where humans bridge the gap between nature and technology. “Ecology is a reflection on our obsession with technology and how it affects nature. In the end we need nature more than technology, so we must be mindful of what we put first”, says founder Ema Hewitt

I first met Amber in my Fitzroy store when she introduced herself, expressing interest in a collaboration.

Collaborators on the couch is a series when I sit down with the artists we collaborated with to chat about their process.

Don't miss out on this year's Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival (VAMFF) showcase! This year's AW19 collection is a collaboration with Muzi and Mac titled 'ECOLOGY'. Join us at 7pm Saturday 9th March @ Showroom I, Royal Exhibition Building.

I have loved every moment with HEW, and feel eternally grateful for the support from my friends and family.  I have put together a small video of the highlights from 2018 for you to check out - enjoy!

This is when I first met Sisto, he welcomed me in as if I had walked into his living room. That warm nurturing greeting, so rare these days (especially in the hustle and bustle of the CBD).
