Just when you thought it couldn't get more comfortable than our flares... it's time for wide leg velvet flares!
For years we've been asked to make a wide leg version of our flares, and we're happy to finally say here they are!
It took us a long time to perfect these pants, as we wanted to make wide leg flares that flatter your body, flare at the knee but were loose and comfortable pants to groove around in! Made as an alternative to our wildly popular, Burgundy Velvet and Black Velvet Flares.
Researching our favourite 1960's brands, we noticed a lot of them were influenced by 1920's style - our wide leg flares are a throwback to these era's, encompassing a higher waist, thick waist band and a delicately placed curved flare to elongate those legs!
Notice from the images, how the waist falls without clinging to your hips, silhouettes the hip bone and thigh and then curves delicately at the knee to give that wide leg flare look!
They're made from a plain, non-crushed, deep burgundy, plum wine velvet, are super comfy and contain a lot of stretch and amazing flow of the flare. They are soft to wear and perfectly flared for any season!
These flares have a wide elastic waist band, and sit slightly higher than our original flares.
See below our inspo images from Biba Boutique as well as the original wide leg flares from the NYFW runway!

We get way too excited about our flares and this was one of the hardest secrets to keep! These flares have been hanging out in our studio for a year now, waiting for Splendour and the summertime festivals before they could go out into the world... for those of you who have swung past the studio since last year would know all about these!!
Sourced from one of our fab local suppliers around the corner in Melbourne, we snapped up all of the sequins that had to make this collection come to life.
With massive inspo from Studio 54 days, where Keith Richards met Patti Hansen, Diana Ross and Cher got fabulously groovy and Bianca Jagger rode a white horse across the dance floor.... you can only imagine how outrageously fabulous the outfits were!
Captured in the forrest of Idyllwild, California, last September, when the sun was peaking through and the light was mystical. We shot these flares in the cosiest little 60's cabin in the woods and highlighted the dreamy, phosphorescent vibes they emanate.
They're so limited and made to order!

Nestled away in the hills of Warrandyte, on a scorching hot summers day, these gorgeous girls grooved around in a range of our flares for a collaborative shoot by Anna Snowswill. -
Here are the full images as the girls rocked the catwalk at NYFW. Up close pics of our new Cosmic Velvet fabrics snapped by professional photographers for Getty Images as the girls moved and grooved in our new collection.
We'd love talking about our fabrics, printing ethics and inspiration so have a read as we explain the details of these Flare Street pieces as you scroll.
For the last few years, all we've had in our mind is to create a Peter Max inspired velvet dream. We worked with Jas from Harley & J to bring this dream to life, mixing the Peter Max iconic sun motif with Jas' unique celestial prints. As a nod to the late 60's we chose a bright, psychedelic colour palette (our Astro Blue colourway), for the 70's a Terra Nova Rust and a modern day take of Cotton Candy pinks.
Our silk style chiffon capes were printed in Melbourne with a large image of the Dhana Dreams design.
Our classic Azura Flares are a staple for the flare-lovers out there. Seen here with delicate fringe details and a matching high neck top, this print is featured in the Dhana Dreams print and their colourways match too. We added fringing for the show but message us if you'd like a custom order, they add extra length and extra glam!
Our Hendrix Night's flares feature a very, very special Moon Lady motif. Hand drawn by Nik's talented sister, Shell, she sparkles brightly between a falling galaxy of twinkling stars. Our Moon Lady embodies power, independence and encourages you to dream big and reach for those stars. She's alluring, calming and nurturing and inspired by the latest tattoo that designer, Nik, created.
Hand patchworked wide-leg flares. These beauties are authentic patchwork, taking 24 hours to make. We hand-cut each velvet piece, ensured the colours ran the right way, placed the pieces perfectly, sewed the panels and then turned them into our latest design of wide-leg flares!

Nik hand made this chain belt in the NYC garment district a few days before the show.
All of these velvet fabrics are commissioned pieces of artwork making them so, so unique. We work with a sustainable printed in Sydney and sew all our garments in Melbourne.
