The story of Camilla: from Bondi Beach to the world

The Camilla label was founded in 2004 by Australian designer and artist Camilla Franks at Bondi Beach in Sydney. What began as a small boutique has grown into a global print house, with designs now available in over 55 countries. Franks was influenced early on by her mother and grandmother, who loved wearing kimonos, kaftans and headscarves. She reimagined the kaftan, transforming it from a simple beach cover-up into a luxurious, versatile design piece, earning her frequent references in the press as Australia's "Queen of Kaftans." She presented her first collection at Australian Fashion Week with a theatrical show, laying the foundation for her international success.

Prints, fabrics and craftsmanship: what makes Camilla special

What sets Camilla apart are its hand-drawn prints, designed and painted by in-house artists. Each collection is inspired by Franks' travels to faraway places and cultures and is released in limited quantities, making many pieces popular with collectors. Luxurious fabrics such as silk and fluid jersey are complemented by delicate stitching, embroidery, fringe and sparkling rhinestones, all applied with precision. The hallmark styles feature feminine, flattering cuts: deep V-necks, one-shoulder lines, fitted waistbands, ruching, and kimono and ruffle sleeves. Inclusivity is central to Camilla: its designs appeal to women of every age and figure, from petite to tall.
