Argyro Gavalas is an Australian designer with an eye for beautiful fabrics and an understanding of what real Australian women want to wear. Her trans-seasonal range features stylish, comfortable pieces that can be worn at any time of the year and fit most shapes and sizes. Argyro's signature style of pleating gives a spectacular crushed effect and the versatility to be worn day or night.

Argyro started designing in 1999 after taking over the family's established manufacturing business. Her range is now stocked in a selection of boutiques throughout Australia as well her own showroom in Collingwood.  

The ranges features pieces suitable for day, evening and special occasions and some classic basics such as camisoles and slips . While Argyro adds to the range all the time, she does not develop styles for specific seasons preferring to design clothing that is versatile and comfortable and can be worn all year round. 

Argyro says she is a very instinctive designer and produces pieces she loves and is inspired to create. Her inspiration comes from a variety of sources but is driven predominantly by the fabric. I buy fabric in Australia and Europe, bring it back to the studio and play around with it for a while until I'm struck by an idea or application. I prefer not to design for specific seasons, markets or demographics. I'm lucky that I love designing and I don't feel pressured to churn out designs for the mainstream fashion industry, she said.

Argyro's clients, who are mainly 35+, are very loyal and tend to come back for more once they've discovered the label.

Argyro's range is designed and manufactured in her workshop in Melbourne and features a wide variety of Australian,  European and New Zealand fabrics.
