Early life

Born to a creative family of craftsmen, stylists and designers in Sydney Australia on November 29, 1981, Ms. Ralph found passion for creativity at a young age where she began designing and creating garments from home whist continually absorbing four generations of history and knowledge of fashion and design. Ms. Ralph later went on to study at the Whitehouse Institute of Design in Sydney.

Her love and passion for creating beautiful products saw her establish herself as one of the global fashion elite when she moved to London and her designs became recognised by a more international audience. Under the creative direction of Ms. Ralph, she has given Ralph & Russo a unique and strong voice in a crowded market. Her ability to create a modern and unified identity across each product category has propelled the Ralph & Russo brand into a global success.[1][2]

Ms. Ralph became the first female Creative Director from the UK in nearly 100 years deemed eligible to show during Paris Haute Couture week.[3] She is also one of only three female Creative Directors worldwide who together with Donatella Versace and Maria Grazia Chiuri of Dior are eligible to present their collections during this period. She continues to be recognised by fashion’s heavyweights including Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar for her achievements, together with her inclusion into the most elite business and fashion publications such as Fortune magazine's 40 under 40 list and the BOF 500. [4][5][6][7]

Under her direction, Ralph & Russo continues to be a powerhouse in the fashion and luxury world producing modern yet timeless products appealing to all generations.
