We are excited to welcome designer Christina Exie into our
LUPA stores. Launching in 2011 Exie has already enjoyed a stellar introduction
to the land of Melbourne Made Design. Conceptually driven design, that
translates broad themes such as gravity and water into tailored but fluid pieces
giving each item a sense of intrigue whilst remaining accessible. (you just want to put it on!)
It’s this juxtaposition of the avant-garde (a term commonly
applied to the label) and the highly wearable fit and feel of each piece that
makes her work so successful.
A graduate of RMIT fashion design and winner of Australian
Project Runway’s fourth series the designer has earned her colours and
collected a loving audience along the way.
Exie embraces new silhouettes each season that are beyond
trend, light sand Ester swing coats with brilliant red linings finished with crimson
tacking, or ankle length the Micah wool waist coats complete with awe inspiring
French seaming also in red, making each piece as interesting on the inside as
it is on the outside!
