An exclusive collaboration with Paola Milani, Brisbane based artist.
A jacket in full bloom. The Waratah Jacket is cut from 100% linen and printed with Paola Milani’s native blooms, their rich reds glowing against a weathered, painterly ground. The notched collar is left raw and frayed at the edge, a soft undone touch on a sharp tailored shape. Covered buttons, flap pockets at the hip and splits at the sleeve and back add quiet craft to every angle.
Cropped and easy to layer, it turns a plain dress or simple pants into something memorable. Throw it on for a gallery opening, a long lunch or any day you feel like wearing your favourite flower.

About the Artist
Paola’s work draws on the natural world. For this print she turned to the Australian bush, where waratah, bottlebrush, banksia and hakea have grown extraordinary forms through heat, drought and fire. Old seed pods stand beside new flowers, and the waratah sits at the centre, vivid and unapologetically present. For Paola it’s a way of thinking about the ageing female body and self, not as an autumn leaf whose season has passed but as a whole landscape, weathered and flowering at once. Worn on the body, it carries a small reminder: ageing is not disappearance.
“Perhaps we are the whole landscape, weathered and flowering, protective and generous, carrying our histories while continuing to become.” Paola Milani
