Amy Kaehne Fashion Designer

A namesake designer female fashion label

Amy Kaehne is one of Australia’s up and coming fashion talents. Although born and raised as a child in New Zealand, Amy confesses that she is ‘more’ Australian given she has spent the crucial years adult years of her life within Aussie shores.

Amy  grew up surrounded by inspiration to pursue a career in fashion. Both her mother and grandmother were dressmakers – an obvious and major influence when Amy decided to pursue her career as a fashion designer by studying design in New Zealand.

She first started her career fashion career designing and selling clothes for small Australian fashion label. However, Amy soon outgrew this path, and started her own trail which led to the namesake Amy Kaehne fashion label.

Amy notes that she draws strong inspiration from her past and present surroundings, and childhood lifestyle. The four natural elements of wind, water, earth and fire are noted to be one side of inspiration equation. The other side (so far) involves Tim Burton and his fantasy tales (a childhood inspiration which was the driving force for the Winter 09 clothing collection), as well as the 1950’s Beat Culture Generation, specifically Jack Kerouac (inspiration for the Summer 09/10 collection).

You wouldn’t think it, but the year 2009 was the induction year for Amy Kaehne as a solo designer. Her first two clothing collections (Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer 2009), have been met with high regard by fellow designers and fashionistas alike. Amy Kaehne clothing is already stocking in some of Australia’s most well known boutique stores such as FAT, Le Black Book, Violent Green, Fallow and the Corner Shop.

We have no doubt that the Amy Kaehne label will grow to bigger and better things.
