Founded in Melbourne, Australia, in 2013 by husband and wife team Sam + Kyleigh Fisher, the ongoing development of progressive cutting techniques unpin the tanner + teague style. Dark, subtle colours, textures, edges and details form a primary component in each collection, with new cutting techniques developed as key components each season.

“Finding a way to get fabric moving on the body, is what drives my practise. Contrasts in texture and fabrication, detail through cut rather than embellishment is the way I see design. Design ideas don’t always start with gender, they start with a gesture. This is why many of the are pieces are unisex, cut to work for both Men and Women“
-Sam Fisher (Head Designer)
