The story of Evyie.

Creative fashion label evyie combines striking cuts with sumptuous textiles that frame and flatter. Entirely designed and constructed in Sydney, each garment is a stark concoction of meticulous thought and artistic merit. Evyie showcases a contemporary minimalist aesthetic with every piece a testament to the quality of individual craftsmanship and simplicity in design. The evyie woman is intelligent yet playful, casual but glam, exuding both beauty and substance, every day of the week. We are SUPER excited to have evyie showcase at the 14 December Hustle&Scout, and enjoyed hearing a little more from designer, Ly Yin, about her background and her story...




When did you know you wanted to be a fashion designer?
During my childhood, my mother and grandmother were both dressmakers and from a very early age, I knew that when I grew up, I should make clothes. I have been making clothes virtually my entire life so starting evyie felt like the most natural thing for me.


Where do you draw your inspiration from for your designs?
New silhouettes, traditional techniques, music, people, textiles, life, and everything really.


If you had the opportunity to dress anyone, who would it be?
Ruby Rose - I think she is someone I truly admire for all the wonderful contributions she makes to the community.


What is your absolute favourite thing you have made? Why?
The warring hearts dress is definitely our signature style, it effortlessly captures the contemporary minimalist spirit of the label.


Where do you hope to be in 10 years time? (hint: dream BIG)
My dream is simple, it’s to keep doing what I love, which is making clothes.


What are 5 things you can’t live without?
Love, textiles, books, my sewing machine and scissors!


What next?

We’re in pre-production for AW14 which I’m really excited about, stay tuned!
