Les Plantes

Marking its official launch as part of the Melbourne Made x Makers Lane runway, Les Plantes is a premium brand of minimalist, ethically-made workwear and tailoring designed for comfort and circularity using solely plant-based materials and plant-derived fibres. Founded by Dr Rachel Lamarche-Beauchesne whose academic research focuses on animal rights, sustainability and fashion consumption, Les Plantes’ commitment extends beyond aesthetics to a design philosophy rooted in ecological responsibility and fearless, unwavering advocacy. We do not chase trends—we create thoughtful, timeless garments to empower leaders and changemakers.

"In selecting the garments for this runway paying homage to Melbourne Icon Mr Simon, I resonated most with his classic silhouettes, neutral colours, and his appreciation for a well tailored pantsuit"
