The brother-sister fashion designers who import an effortless Australian cool

Camilla and Marc. Sounds a bit royal. If you hail from Australia, they sort of are. They're extremely chic, sibling fashion designers whose sophisticated clothes dress the best in their native country.

Siblings, eh? No rivalry? Not a bit, apparently. "We have a unique bond that is built on trust, honesty and immense respect," Camilla assures us.

I've heard lots about Australian fashion recently. Yeah, it is a bit of a thing. There's Dion Lee, Jordan Askill, Willow… Camilla says the Aussie lifestyle's good for design. "People say we're easy going, and that's reflected in our clothes. They're polished and pulled together yet comfortable and fluid."

Sounds interesting. What's the label's look? Masculine tailoring with feminine silhouettes. Tailored trousers, snappy blazers.

Right up my street. Then you should invest. The label celebrates 10 years as the height of Australian chic this year, but now it's really taking off on the international market.

They say: "Our design is about modern elegance translated through the use of luxurious fabrics, bold prints and effortless yet cool silhouettes."

We say: Could we have one of the blazers, please?
