To be worn, kept, and lived in

My Journey

Construction Co Streetwear began in the mid-2000s with a clear intention: to create bold, asymmetrical designs that stand alone. Pieces that don’t follow trends, but instead offer women something more enduring, something expressive, something entirely their own.

I’ve been part of the New Zealand rag trade since the early 90s. Over the years, I’ve seen the industry shift, fast fashion rise, and local manufacturing decline. Through it all, one thing has remained constant: my commitment to designing and making garments right here in New Zealand.

This label has never been about keeping up. It’s about creating.

Every piece begins as an idea—an exploration of form, balance, texture, and colour—before being brought to life as a three-dimensional expression. To me, these garments are wearable art. They are designed to be kept, worn, and loved for years, not just a season.

I am unapologetically committed to slow fashion. Each garment is made to order, allowing for a more conscious process with minimal waste and a greater level of care. This is not about instant gratification. It’s about intention, quality, and respect for the craft.

Size inclusivity has always been at the core of what I do. I design with real women in mind, specialising in sizes 16 to 30, because style and self-expression should never be limited by size. My goal is to create pieces that feel like armour—giving women confidence, presence, and a sense of power in how they show up in the world.

My Aesthetic

Influenced by contrast, strength and softness, structure and movement. There are elements of brutalist architecture, hints of vintage silhouettes, and a touch of the unexpected. I design for women who don’t want to blend in. Women who trust their own style and aren’t afraid to push boundaries.

Construction Co is an extension of who I am. A way to express creativity, challenge convention, and continue evolving with the times, without ever losing sight of what matters.

This is not fast fashion.
This is not for everyone.

But for those who understand it—this is something to be worn, kept, and lived in.
