Jude

About Jude

JUDE is the namesake label of designer Jude Ng, who grew up in Singapore in a creative household, with an antique dealer father and a fashion-loving mother. He studied painting at the VCA in Melbourne, then trained in fashion at RMIT. Everything is designed and handmade in Melbourne, from a shop and open studio in Fitzroy where Jude and his small team handle sketching, patternmaking, fitting and sampling. The clothes are known for a signature asymmetry and relaxed, gender neutral tailoring. Fabrics are mostly deadstock, with a focus on Italian and Japanese wools, linens, denims and cottons, plus some rare vintage materials. Pieces are made in limited editions by local makers, and offcuts become one-off accessories.
