Melbourne fashion label Allora collaboration with line-artist Octavia Tomyn.
Designed to empower and celebrate women, Melbourne fashion label Allora has collaborated with local line artist Octavia Tomyn.
Known for her linework which hones in on the power of human connection together with Allora Founder & Director Tabatha Brixton, they have created a classic tee that features an original art piece embodying friendship, diversity and unity in modern womanhood.
Octavia sought inspiration for the collaboration through the exploration of relationships, capturing the essence through the simplicity and movement of bare lines.
Designed to inspire and celebrate women supporting one another, the notion of the print illustrates two women gazing up and outward focused not only on their goals and purpose but also relying and leaning on each other to reach them.
“Whether it be intimate relationships or individual connections, inspiration from the people around me is integral to my work,” Octavia said.
“I was drawn to this partnership with Tabatha from Allora, given our shared values when it comes to modern womanhood. If we focus on raising women up, we could achieve a lot!”
When it came to choosing the collaborator, Octavia Tomyn was the first choice for Founder and Creative Director Tabatha Brixton of Allora.
“I wanted to work with a local female Melbourne artist for this collaboration and had been following Octavia’s work for some time. I really like her modern lines and how she expresses so much meaning behind her designs. I knew she would design a beautiful piece that would complement our collection and aesthetic perfectly,” Brixton said.
The Allora x Octavia collaboration t-shirt is made with 100% G.O.T.S. organic cotton and is available in sizes 6-18, retailing for $85 AUD.
