Australia might be the lucky country – but we are also a land of innovation and passion. This is reflected in our adoration of a healthy, balanced and active lifestyle that incorporates our stunning natural environment. Here are five Australian brands that are successfully bringing this lifestyle conviction to many other countries around the world. Australia, your star is in ascension.

Camilla and Marc was founded by Sydney siblings Camilla Freeman-Topper and Marc Freeman in 2003. Design philosophy is at once cutting-edge, and engagingly classic. This initially established a covetable stable of international supporters rather quickly.
