Maintaining the grass-roots foundations that saw her crafting one-off garments at the local markets, Sydney-based designer Kate Hurst has sent her creations down the catwalk at Australian fashion week, spoken at fashion forums at Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum and established a place in some of Japan and America’s most prestigious boutiques.
Classic, quirky and thoroughly feminine, Hurst has defined an inimitable aesthetic, injecting each collection with her distinct personal touch. Perfected silhouettes, eye-catching details and a muse with a story to tell all make for quintessential Kate Hurst.

This season's highlights…
Our latest winter collection ‘Falling For Audrey Horn’ has been inspired by the character from the TV classic Twin Peaks, and much like the muse her-self, is full of contradictions. Sweet and innocent school girl checks and florals are contrasted by the sophistication of velvet silk satin and leather.
