Jill&Ange (first known as JillANG) - designers Jillian & Angela Thompson, co-owners and sisters from New Zealand (Te Rarawa/Ngati Kuri). The label was launched in Sydney 1996 at Oxford St's Paddington Market with a collection of cotton print dresses. After many years living and working in Sydney, Jillian & Angela returned to New Zealand where they continue to develop and produce a unique brand of clothing. Bi-annual collections follow strong themes often with indigenous reference (such as the ongoing ‘Native Series’), historical background, a touch of irony, humour or social comment. The label is enjoyed for quality craftsmanship, thoughtful and functional designs, quirky details, easy comfort and the innovative use of both natural fibre materials and hi-tech yarns. Alternative and directional, the label thrived in the Sydney fashion scene going on to be stocked in retail stores in Sydney, Melbourne, throughout Queensland Australia and in the USA. Jill&Ange is the thinking woman’s choice and the finest clothing designed & made in New Zealand/Aotearoa.
