Hi my name is Esther Riley, fashion visionary, designer, sustainability advocate, weaver, mother of 2.

My background in fashion began at high school, making costumes for parties, every wearable arts competition run, I was involved with. 12 years dancing with Canterbury Ballet lent me to theatrical productions, dance, and choreography.

After high school I studied at (then CPIT) Christchurch fashion design school, developing my own aesthetic and label.

For the past 5years I have been judging Cashmere high school’s annual wearable arts competition, inspired by their up and coming designers I have sought out Christchurch’s talent and been on a mission ever since.
