Our Story

VAN BRUSSEL is a bold expression of innovation, craftsmanship, and timeless design.

Founded by Rachel Van Brussel, the brand is shaped by her international experience across Australia, London, Milan, Japan, and Paris. With a background spanning fashion design, production, and styling, Rachel brings a distinct perspective that balances creative vision with commercial sensibility. Influenced by her time abroad, she infuses VAN BRUSSEL with a refined European aesthetic, merging sophistication with a contemporary edge.

In 2026, Rachel was awarded the Melbourne Fashion Festival National Designer Award for Sustainability, a defining recognition of the brand’s commitment to responsible and forward-thinking design.

Celebrating the nuances of tailored urban-wear, VAN BRUSSEL fuses utilitarian function with modern form. Sustainability underpins every decision: each piece is consciously crafted in Australia through small-batch production, minimising waste while upholding the principles of slow fashion. The brand works predominantly with natural fibres and carefully sourced designer deadstock fabrics, transforming limited-edition materials into elevated, purposeful garments.

Defined by slouchy tailoring, modern structure, and an urban sensibility, VAN BRUSSEL reimagines classic style through a contemporary lens. Each collection reflects a commitment to longevity, precision, and thoughtful innovation — pieces designed to transcend trends while maintaining a strong and recognisable identity.

Following its growing international momentum, VAN BRUSSEL will present a series of pop-ups in London and Tokyo throughout 2026, marking an exciting new chapter for the brand on the global stage.

For those who value refined aesthetics and enduring style, VAN BRUSSEL offers more than fashion - it offers intention, detail, and a compelling narrative.

Welcome to the world of VAN BRUSSEL... where timeless sophistication meets modern expression.
