My Story

Welcome to the world of Slowe.

I'm Melanie, the founder, designer and creative behind my independent experimental fashion studio.

I started Slowe in early 2025, with a mission to create unique one-of-a-kind pieces from pre-existing materials, to giving clothing and textiles a second chance and keep them circulating. 

To me, fashion is a silent language of self expression, a way of revealing our individuality, an empowering process of self-discovery. 

After completing a diploma of Fashion Design at TAFE in 2020-2021, I became aware of the true impact of the fashion industry; the pollution it creates, the waste sent to landfill, and the human cost behind fast fashion. 

All my life I've always wanted to do something meaningful. Be a part of change. 

So this is my journey, to contribute to finding solutions, healing as a collective and doing what I can in this world. 

Be weird, have fun, be you.
