VAN BRUSSEL is an Australian fashion label redefining contemporary urban wear through refined tailoring, considered craftsmanship and responsible design. Founded by designer Rachel Van Brussel, the brand creates timeless collections that balance utilitarian function with modern sophistication, offering garments designed to be worn, lived in and treasured for years to come.
Every piece is thoughtfully designed in Adelaide and made in Australia using small-batch production, natural fibres and carefully sourced designer dead-stock fabrics. With a focus on longevity rather than trends, VAN BRUSSEL champions slow fashion while celebrating the skill of local makers and manufacturers.
Since its launch, the brand has quickly gained national and international recognition, receiving the 2026 Melbourne Fashion Festival National Designer Award for Sustainability, being named a finalist in the Australian Fashion Industry Awards Emerging Brand category, and presenting at Australian Fashion Week as part of the DHL Next Gen runway. VAN BRUSSEL has also been featured by leading fashion publications including Vogue Australia, WWD, WGSN and Ragtrader.
Bold yet understated, architectural yet effortless, VAN BRUSSEL offers a distinctive Australian perspective on contemporary luxury - where craftsmanship, innovation and enduring style come together.
