Camilla and Marc is a prominent Australian women's fashion brand founded in 2003 by Sydney siblings Camilla Freeman-Topper and Marc Freeman, debuting at Australian Fashion Week. The label is distinguished by its blend of masculine tailoring with feminine shapes, utilizing opulent fabrics, vibrant prints, and unique design elements.
History
Born in 1981, Camilla Freeman-Topper pursued fashion studies at the Whitehouse Institute of Design in Sydney before advancing her education at the Accademia italiana in Florence, Italy. Her brother, Marc Freeman (born 1979), earned degrees in engineering and commerce from the University of New South Wales. While Camilla oversees the creative design direction, Marc handles the company’s operational management.
The brand diversified in 2007 by introducing a swimwear range under the name C&M Camilla and Marc Swim. Its inaugural retail outlet launched in Sydney’s Paddington neighborhood in 2009, later expanding to Melbourne along with an online shopping platform. In 2012, they unveiled C&M Camilla and Marc off duty, a diffusion line featuring more affordable denim and swimwear aimed at a younger demographic.
Celebrating a decade in 2013, Camilla and Marc opened Australian Fashion Week. The following year saw the opening of a second Sydney store located in Paddington's Fiveways area dedicated to the diffusion collection, alongside plans to debut a footwear line within the same year.
By 2018, the label had grown nationally with five stores across Australia and announced intentions to open three additional boutiques. Their flagship outlets include two stores in Paddington, locations in Mosman, Melbourne’s Emporium and Armadale districts, Sydney’s Strand precinct, Rosebery outlet center, and Perth’s Claremont Quarter.
On the international stage, Camilla and Marc have made significant inroads into the US market, gaining support from fashion insiders such as InStyle Editor Laura Brown. The brand's 15th anniversary runway presentation during MBFWA 2018 garnered worldwide acclaim for its creative execution.
In 2021, the Armadale boutique underwent refurbishment to create a cozy ambiance characterized by natural hues and geometric design features. The company expanded further by launching its first boutique in South Australia in July 2025.
International following
The UK publication The Observer identified Camilla and Marc as an emerging label worth monitoring in July 2013. The brand began international distribution as early as its second season. Notable global retailers stocking their collections include Saks Fifth Avenue, Net-a-Porter, and Intermix based in New York City. Among their distinguished clientele are celebrities such as Kate Bosworth, Kirsten Dunst, Rose Byrne, and Kristen Stewart.
