 It's a new name in men's fashion. So you're looking for a casual look, right? A rising star in upmarket department stores around the world. We do a lot of suede, I mean... Now stocked in Hong Kong and mainland China, Christian Kimber is also making a name in Europe and the United States. We do well overseas because we're selling a concert of Australian lifestyle and everyone wants an Australian lifestyle, right? Yeah, it's cool, eh? This is a Tallinn linen, super lightweight, super cool holiday shirt. So what I really want to do is create clothing that they feel comfortable in, created for our lifestyle. Yeah, the colour is cool, eh? Yeah, sure. The award-winning designers' clothes are now found among the world's top labels. We do a lot of raincoats. This is a Tallinn cotton from Lake Como. You know, there are a lot of our mills that are kind of known for making sustainable fabrics. If you feel this one, it feels super lightweight. It is waterproof as well. From his head office in Fitzroy's busy shopping strip, Christian Kimber is slowly redefining Australian menswear. Our guy is really diverse. A 65-year-old or a 70-year-old come in and we've got a 25-year-old and they're so different in what they need, but they all just really react the same way to they just, like, beautiful things, right? Every man wants to look, like, I think, like a 35-year-old, like, change of bond or something. Christian learned his trade in London, studying at night school, while working days in the rag trade. I met my now-wife in London. She had to come back and I decided to come with her. Transitioning to Australian life was a challenge for the 24-year-old. Men's fashion here is small, and, you know, my skill set is very specialised. He began collaborating with local artists on designer shoes. We use really specialised techniques in a lot of our shoes, some things that haven't been painted. Some of our shrubbers is recycled rubber. Later, designing elegant clothes that are crafted with care. We work with only small family businesses. We have a factory we work with in Brunswick, which is about 10 minutes from my store, which is amazing. We have a factory in Bulgaria and Sofia, which is another family business, and we also have three or four in Italy. Most of our fabrics we make in Italy, Italy's really known for the best fabrics in the world. Shall we start, mate? Hey, Christian, how are you? What kind of shirt? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Christian's business is growing steadily offshore, thanks to Global Victoria, which has introduced him to foreign buyers and journalists. We've had more online sales. I'm calling it Singapore and throughout Asia. As a small fashion brand, it's hard to stand out. A lot of people have massive marketing budgets, and so if we can find ways to cut through, then that's incredible. Global Victoria's networks have further supported his international growth. They put us in touch with a new lawyer, because I was asking a lot of questions about trademarks, and we've now registered our trademark in China, as well as globally. It's a ripple effect that keeps happening, and to be able to have Global Victoria as mentors and friends. So I think the jacket might need a few minor alterations. I'll say, look, this is the structure you need to put in place, or this is who you need to speak to. It's invaluable to us as a small business. Business Victoria have been incredibly supportive, because they helped put us on a pedestal and helped people discover what we do. I think it's like a sense of nature in here, mate. We're going to bring it in just from the knee down. We're in a small business in Melbourne. We've got customers all around Australia, and they found us through different channels, and Business Victoria's been massively supportive in that way as well. Ready for the clubs, mate. It hasn't been an easy journey, though with a new store planned in 2020 and a growing list of online clients, Christian has hit his targets. It's definitely not overnight. It's been a five-year journey to get to this point, and I'm really proud. It's been a lot of hard work, a lot of late nights, and anyone who runs a small business knows that it just takes grit and determination to keep going.
