Established in 2017 by its founder and creative director, Leo Lin, the brand draws inspiration from the interplay between past and present, crafting collections that exude a captivating sense of 'modernistic nostalgia'. This distinctive aesthetic defines its seasonal offerings, infusing each creation with a unique allure.
LEO LIN epitomizes Sydney's women's ready-to-wear fashion, embodying a fusion of robust femininity, impeccable craftsmanship, and opulent sophistication.
Rooted in Leo & Lin's Australian heritage, LEO LIN seamlessly integrates the country's rich art and cultural heritage into its ready-to-wear ensembles. This influence is evident throughout its collections, particularly in the brand's exclusive hand-drawn prints. The silhouettes embody a harmonious balance of contrasting elements, mirroring the diverse facets of the contemporary woman.

Blending old-world charm with contemporary flair, LEO LIN heralds a new era of individualism, offering collections and garments that resonate with multiple facets of the human experience. Through innovative craftsmanship and bold design, the brand celebrates the ethos of fearless self-expression.
LEO LIN'S MUSE: The New Era Female
The modern woman epitomizes strength, courage, and self-assurance.
Lin draws inspiration from real-life women who embody these qualities, embracing timeless elegance and a penchant for whimsical self-expression.
The New Era woman values meticulous attention to detail in all aspects of her life, from fashion to beauty, interiors, and beyond. She curates her aesthetic vision with care, selecting garments that reflect her unique style.
THE ART OF DESIGN
Committed to creating enduring investment pieces, Leo & Lin prioritizes uncompromising quality and meticulous design.
Operating from Lin's meticulously curated atelier in his hometown of Dalian and his design studio in Sydney, each collection undergoes a comprehensive cycle of design, sampling, and production, overseen by the brand's team of skilled artisans.
Every collection celebrates the art of innovation and handcrafted artisanship. Lin's mastery of superior fabrics, bespoke prints, and meticulous construction sets the brand apart.
The brand's name, LEO LIN, embodies a sense of duality, with 'LEO' representing Lin's Australian given name and 'LIN' his Chinese surname. This fusion pays homage to his Chinese heritage and Australian roots. Recently, the brand removed the '&' between LEO LIN, symbolizing a new chapter for the label, whose name and ethos are deeply intertwined.
