Christopher Esber

Christopher Esber is the founder and designer of his eponymous fashion label. Esber has become a celebrated name in the global fashion industry, attracting the attention of A-list celebrities such as Zendaya, Rihanna, and Dua Lipa. Esber launched his brand in 2010 and quickly made a mark on the industry by debuting at Australian Fashion Week the same year. His talent was evident early on, with significant milestones including his New York Fashion Week debut in 2012 and winning the prestigious L'Oréal National Designer Award. Esber was also named the regional Woolmark Prize winner in 2013, later representing Australia on the international stage. His distinct design philosophy, which emphasises deconstructed tailoring and sculptural silhouettes, earned him accolades, including the Vogue Italia’s Most Talented Designer Award for Australia-Pacific and the Australian Fashion Laureate award for Designer of the Year in 2023. Most recently, Esber made history as the first Australian to win the prestigious ANDAM prize in 2024, a testament to his enduring influence and innovative spirit in the fashion world.

Esber's impact extends far beyond awards. His brand has seen remarkable growth, with a reported 202 percent year-over-year increase in 2022. His invitation to show at Paris Fashion Week by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode solidified his standing among the world’s top fashion houses.
