Rebecca Thompson | Three Decades of Crafting Fashion with Purpose

In this episode,  I speak with Rebecca Thompson, the Founder, Designer and Director of the iconic Australian Fashion Label Rebecca Thompson.  Since launching in June 2000, Rebecca has become one of Australia's premier luxury fashion labels. The flagship Rebecca Thompson e-boutique offers a gorgeous mix of signature relaxed separates and unique dresses for every season. Each piece is distinctly Rebecca Thompson; timeless and classic.  With garments that are guaranteed to turn heads, every moment in Rebecca Thompson is a magic moment. RT is constantly experimenting with how to embellish fabrics. One season it may be heavy on prints, the next heavy with embroideries layered over prints. Dramatic colours, astonishing beading and embroidery work are all part of the textural process. The silhouettes are simple, flattering and easy to wear. The difference is the personal touch. Rebecca works with her own team of artisans in house to create fabrics that are either hand beaded, embroidered, or block printed.  Every piece is unique and individual. With over 30 years in the fashion industry Rebecca was determined to create a lovely boutique and mindful and caring work room. The India studio was set up from the get go, and still employs the same 6 staff.  All styles are textured and produced within the space. The Melbourne based  Bay St store in Melbourne was built out of necessity.  After 13 years of successful wholesaling, It was Rebecca's dream to create a colourful, fun shopping space. During our dynamic conversations, Rebecca shares: The drive and passion behind creating a legacy brand The unique RT in-store experience   Connection, community and customer loyalty  Embracing the future of fashion  And so much more!  You can connect at: https://rebeccathompson.com.au/ @instagram _______ INDIA SOURCING EXPERIENCE TRIP - EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST | MARCH 11th - 15th 2024 Don’t miss this opportunity to experience a transformational business experience into the sophisticated world of production, sourcing and supply; meet with garment and fabric manufacturers; travel with like-minded business owners and mentors and connect with world-class artisans and manufacturers expressing the very best of India’s vibrant fashion culture.
