Australian label Aje is a contemporary fashion house that was incepted to bridge the gap between coastal and urban style. This label is dedicated to creating pieces rooted in raw beauty and effortless cool. From Madonna and Katy Perry, to Olivia Culpo and Gigi Hadid, consider everyone a fan.

Aje was started in 2008 by best friends Edwina Forrest and Adrian Norris.

A creative partnership was inevitable when the two creative forces met each other in 2005. From a young age Edwina always found herself gravitating towards the arts and when she met Adrian, he further ignited the creative spirit in her. Back then, she was pursuing a stint in magazines as a fashion stylist while Adrian ran a small boutique called Strada in Noosa. A quaint coastal town in Queensland, Australia, Noosa was a picturesque location that attracted tourists from urban settings. Adrian realized that the clothes he was buying for Strada weren’t suitable for Noosa and others weren’t appropriate for when customers returned from their holiday to Sydney or Melbourne.

Together, Adrian and Edwina forged an organic friendship and creative partnership. Aje was born out of the need for a versatile fashion house that designed contemporary fashion for the seekers of both coastal and urban style. Aje clothing is first and foremost a collaborative effort that brings together the business acumen of their CEO Adrian Norris, and the innovative streak of their Creative Director Edwina Forrest. Taking on a very hands-on approach, this powerhouse duo is very involved across all the elements of Aje clothing. While Aje has evolved and expanded, the co-founders still maintain specialized roles- Adrian looks over commercial, retail and finance while Edwina focuses on design, visual and communication segments.

Adrian and Edwina have been established as true tastemakers in the industry owing to Aje collections.

Artisanal sensibilities sit at the heart of the design process and form the soul of each collection. Aje is an acronym for ‘Adrian joins Edwina’, pronounced ‘age’. It is aimed at empowering women through beautiful and compelling design. At Aje, the customer is at the heart of the brand and shapes everything that they create. Through their label, Aje clothing wants to offer a platform of self-expression to the quintessential Aje woman. She is an adventurous muse with a confident, strong persona and distinctive style. The Aje muse will always be heard and designer for, no matter where she is around the world.
