Kit Willow

FASHION AND TEXTILE JUROR

Kit Willow is an Australian fashion designer and sustainability pioneer widely regarded as one of the country’s most influential figures in fashion. At just 23 years old, she launched her eponymous label with a small lingerie collection, WILLOW, which quickly gained a cult following and expanded into ready-to-wear. At its peak, the WILLOW label staged runway shows in New York and London and attracted a celebrity following. Willow sold a controlling stake to Apparel Group + Co, ultimately leading to her departure from the brand she had built.

Undeterred, she launched KITX – a sustainable luxury label built on ethical principles. The brand incorporates innovative materials, including recycled ocean plastics and pesticide-free cottons. She was awarded Sustainable Designer of the Year at the 2023 Australian Fashion Laureate, cementing her legacy as a pioneer of conscious fashion.

Now Kit Willow is also exploring collaborations to help empower consumers and business with transparency on the impact their actions have on NATURE, watch this space….
