Romance Was Born is one of those labels that refuses to be pigeon-holed. Despite its acid-trip design tendencies (like boggle-eyed Dunlops and kaleidoscope leggings) the label's catwalk debut was in a Sydney pub and its one of its first window installations was a hyper colour ode to Australia at Capital L.

Upmarket in construction, but refreshingly down to earth in ego, the label is crafted by former East Sydney TAFE students Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales. With fabrics such as Egyptian cotton and silk with French and Italian lace it is like children's candy-fuelled tantrums in fashion form and you should fulfill your desires immediately.

A past internship with Galliano in Paris, as well as collaborations with artists such as Del Kathryn Barton and companies such as Dunlop, means Romance Was Born is more than a temporary love affair.
