With movie star looks and a rock star essence, Kym Ellery was always destined to be something special. Born and raised in small town Western Australia, the willowy designer’s rise has seen her eponymous label transform from an après-work hobby to the internationally-lauded brand it is today. Renowned for the architectural structure she brings to her collections and designs that refuse to stay within the traditional parameters of style, The Shelter has seemingly heeded our call for more Ellery, by becoming New Zealand’s exclusive stockist.

With the first drop in-store now, the selection embraces the exaggerated flares, dramatic ruffles, and vicious tailoring Ellery has become known for. Appearing to be somehow fashion-forward and timeless in the same breath, the sculptural silhouettes are inherently Ellery, with styles for work and play. A fitting addition to The Shelter’s designer line-up (and our own wardrobes), to explore all of the new arrivals, take a browse here.
