• Rethinking the cut of each garment to accommodate various body shapes, reducing gender stereotypes.
• Shifting to a wholesale model reduces the wastage unescapable through stockholding, working instead to supply+demand.

In the past 12 months tanner+teague has expanded from Melbourne, to being stocked in Japan, Europe, USA and Canada. Through lean initiatives we have reduced the 'dead stock wastage', and work in the most efficient way possible. The transition from retail to wholesale was HUGE, and given our international success in only 12 months we see our global impact is in its infancy. International Collaborations, further to promote Good Australian Design abroad, while a philosophy of refining and re-thinking all aspects of our approach to design and manufacturing remains fundamental.

tanner+teague is the culmination of Sam Fisher’s creative vision, a place to bring his respected design aesthetic to life for Men + Women. As Vivienne Westwood’s Head Experimental Pattern Cutter, Sam Fisher spent many years in London refining his skills while working directly with Vivienne, developing collections and driving new styles for her premium Gold Label Line. The nature of Sam Fisher's experience requires each garment to be designed anew. Using Draping techniques developed during his tenure in Europe each piece requires considerable design development and research resulting in refined, wearable and unique pieces

Working with, and supporting local suppliers and manufacturers is about maintaining the knowledge base - if the industry dies, the information is lost.

Maintaining sustainable practise is imperative, working with suppliers who agree to this way of life, and teaching others is how we move forward.
