that, she moved from Launceston to Perth and

“I reflect on a moment when I was driving home
from work at the Fremantle store with my
husband one night. We’d had our first wholesale
customer come in and ask if they could
purchase a pair of pants I’d created,” Kylie says.
“And, I remember saying to Rich: ‘Imagine, we
could actually make some money out of this gig!’
We went onto sell 25,000 pairs of those pants.”

For Kylie, running such a successful business and
being a mother has been, and continues to be,
a constant juggling act. But it’s a role she loves
and is thankful for.
“Running the business, raising a family and
juggling both is rewarding for many reasons,”
she says. “I get to do my work, which I love, and
at the end of the day, I get to be with my boys.”
It is pretty clear that Kylie doesn’t do anything
by halves. Her abounding energy, humility,
leadership and motivation are all characteristics
which exude out of her every pore. It’s all about
doing your very best for Kylie, and it shows.
“Quality is the most important part of my
brand,” she says. “From design, fabric selection,
workmanship, to the fit out of the stores, it’s
always been the top priority for me. I would
prefer to do nothing, rather than something
that wasn’t of the highest quality.”
