Meet Alison Lennard

Alison is the design director and owner of Philosophy Australia.
Ali is the heart and soul of the brand that she loves, lives and breathes.
Her impressive resume includes roles at some of the most prestigious UK retailers. This experience has been instrumental in how she has shaped the label since joining Philosophy Australia in 2008, before buying the business in 2019.
Ali describes her design handwriting as clean, comfortable and commercial and her personal style of easy wear, easy care has become our company motto. 

Our design story

“This is the best pant I’ve ever purchased!” This is something we hear often from our wholesale and retail customers alike.
It's down to the fit, the quality of the fabric, the feel on the body, the value, the style longevity, the versatility of styling, the ease of care and the finer details.
Along with the knowledge that they are supporting a local and ethical brand promoting Australian manufactured product.

Our team

We collaborate like a family with suppliers, contractors and staff.
We treat our customers as part of our extended family, and strive to consistently exceed expectation in design, quality and service. Keeping production local means we can maintain a high level of quality, turn around product quickly, ensure a local fashion presence with ethical and sustainable production.

    Philosophy is a true Australian brand still proudly made in Australia, which is always welcomed by my clients. The quality and fit of their pants, along with the variety of styles and fabrics they offer make them an easy go to in my stores. The Philosophy team are always helpful, and listen to feedback to keep delivery what their customers are asking for.
