The Story of B108 Design
B. Star is an Australian designer whose work moves seamlessly between craftsmanship, innovation, and performance. Through her label B108, she creates garments that honour time, process, and care - pieces designed to resonate beyond trend and invite a meaningful connection with the wearer.
Rooted in responsible design and on-demand making, B. Star’s practice blends artisanal handwork, hand dyeing, hand-painted fabrics, and digital techniques to craft garments that are striking both on stage and in everyday life.
Her work is informed by a strength in textile experimentation, a love for colour mixing, and a background in performance arts, allowing her to design for special events while seamlessly merging statement looks with elevated casual styles.
Mentored by Akira Isogawa, B. Star has honed a keen sensitivity to texture, colour, and form. She is also deeply committed to size, age and gender inclusiveness, ensuring her designs are empowering and accessible for a wide range of wearers.
With B108, she envisions a conscious, circular approach to fashion - where each garment is artful, intentional, and crafted to be experienced, treasured, and shared.
Her debut collection, Resonant Bloom, contemplates hope and dismay in an age of poly-crisis. It asks: what does it take to endure, to stay present, and to transcend the relentless tide of doom and gloom that defines our times? For B108, it begins with a ritual - an immersion in creativity inspired by art, nature, and movement.
Through this process, beauty becomes an act of resilience, and making becomes a form of renewal.
