DISSH

Welcome Athena Savvas. This month we proudly welcomed our new Sustainability & Impact Manager, Athena Savvas. Through the appointment of this newly created role, Athena will partner with each area of the business to implement initiatives that deliver on the DISSH mission – with a particular focus on climate impact, carbon reduction and social impact. We are on a journey to develop and refine every element of our business, from our collections and products to the day-to-day practices at DISSH, all in an effort to be kinder to the planet. We take accountability for being part of an industry which has a huge impact on the environment and we are committed to major positive change.

We’re excited to announce that DISSH has officially gone global! Our online stores are now localised, giving customers from all over the world access to our collections in their local sizing, shipping preferences and currency they are accustomed too. This is a major milestone in our journey, and we couldn’t have done it without the hard work and dedication of our incredible team. Keep an eye out for updates as we continue to expand our global presence.

We recently brought together 15 of our incredible store leaders from across the country for an engaging two-day conference at HQ. The event was packed with insightful sessions designed to equip our team for the upcoming peak trade season. Our time together was focused on growth and preparation. Scheduling in key face time with our HQ departments to give our store leaders valuable insight into HR, Product, Brand and IT. Collaborating together to enhance their store operations and team management. We were also thrilled to unveil a first look at our recently launched new season campaign, where the team delved into the latest trends in styling, fabrication, and the inspiration behind the collection. We made sure it wasn't all work and no play, taking a moment to celebrate the successes of the last financial year with a beautiful team dinner, fostering connections and building excitement for the future. We couldn’t be more proud of the incredible dedication and hard work our retail team brings to the table every day. Their commitment to excellence is what drives our success, we are so looking forward to an incredible season ahead!

We love a EOFY long lunch. Last week we gathered the team together at Agnes restaurant to celebrate the incredible year that was. Over a few margs and personalised handwritten thank you letters, we said cheers to celebrate and thank our incredible team and a year of growth, including store openings, international showrooms, billboards, and new season campaigns shot in our very own backyard (just to name a few). As the old saying goes, 'teamwork makes the dream work', and to our team, it couldn't ring more true. Thank you for your hard work, passion, and effort. Here's to a new year to conquer (and you better believe we will).

The making of VOL24 - New Season. Our latest new season campaign took us to Broome, Western Australia. It’s a good thing a few of us know how to handle a 4WD or our latest campaign might have turned out differently. Only accessible along the unsealed Kavite Road, Reddell Beach is a natural wonder, with red rock formations standing like sculptures beside the turquoise blue of the Indian Ocean. We were so grateful to have received permission from the Yawuru people to bring to life our latest campaign on this significant location. Upon arrival, Yawuru Elder and Cultural Consultant Maree performed a welcome to country with us on Cable Beach. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Rubibi and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

You're in for a good season. Transporting you to the red rock formations of Reddell Beach in Broome, Western Australia. The VOL24 - New Season Collection takes on shapes and silhouettes that feel fresh yet familiar (so, you know you’re going to reach for them again and again and again). Delving into a colour palette inspired by the soft hues of nature, these pieces are destined to slip seamlessly into your existing style code while quietly elevating your outfit options. It's true, we thought of everything. Championing designs intended to be worn with ease, the VOL24 - New Season Collection focuses on longline styles across laidback tailoring and modern essentials that feel elevated without the effort (and no one will suspect a thing). Explore VOL24 - New Season now. Shop intentionally. Style effortlessly.

This August, DISSH joined the Children's Hospital Foundation for their 10th Birthday Long Lunch, celebrating a decade of world-leading care (what a milestone). Turns out, we had something to celebrate too, becoming the recipients of the 2024 Hall of Fame Award. Partnering with the Children’s Hospital Foundation (CHF) and the Mary McConnel Career Boost Program – an initiative established to honour the pioneering woman who inspired Queenslanders to re-evaluate the care and treatment of sick children – we’ve made a pledge to donate $450,000 to three inspiring female researchers in a bid to close the gender gap in academic research. In 2024, women only account for 20 percent of senior academics in Australian universities and research institutes. It doesn’t take a scientist to realise the scales are unbalanced. With our pledge, we hope to even out the playing field through financial aid and opportunity.
