About gorman

Established in Melbourne in 1999,by owner/designer Lisa Gorman, Gorman started out as a one-lady show and has since then the brand has established a strong and loyal following amongst the young and fashion-proud in Australia, Singapore, Japan and the US.

Gorman is a fresh, modern womenswear label which works to harmonize an underlying utilitarian styling with girlish overtones.

It's the subtleties of the trims, yarns, prints and finishes that give a garment the Gorman stamp.

Customized prints play an important part in the collections, and are usually in the form of stylized animals or geometric shapes which work in unison with the clean, crisp fabrics and styling of the garments.

Knitwear is strong and has grown to become a signature of the brand. Italian yarns in fine gauge knits work well through the seasons in cotton, cashmere and silk forming the basis of the knit ranges.

The overall look and feel has an uncomplicated naivety about it, while maintaining a certain youthful timelessness.

Gorman projects a fresh approach to dressing that fits beautifully with the Australian way of life.
