Teale Coco is an Australian fashion designer, model, and photographer who established her eponymous label in 2013. The brand is known for its distinctive aesthetic that blends high fashion with subculture, fetish, and occult influences.
The brand's designs are often described as "fetish-inspired" and "goth." They specialize in harnesses, lingerie, and accessories that are both powerful and sculptural. The designs are a mix of intricate straps, hardware, and form-fitting silhouettes, created to empower the wearer and make a strong statement.
Teale Coco emphasizes its commitment to ethical and sustainable fashion. All garments are hand-cut and produced in limited quantities in Melbourne, Australia, to ensure sustainable craftsmanship and exclusivity. They are a "cruelty-free" brand, which means they do not use any animal-derived materials.
A core part of the brand's philosophy is creating designs that are not restricted by size or gender. Many of their pieces, particularly the harnesses, are "one size fits most" with adjustable straps to accommodate a wide range of body types. They also offer custom orders to ensure every customer gets a perfect fit. The brand actively promotes body positivity by showcasing their designs on people of all shapes, sizes, and genders.
Teale Coco draws inspiration from a diverse range of sources, including sexuality, human anatomy, occultism, and the Japanese art of Shibari (rope bondage). This unique blend of influences results in designs that are both artistic and deeply personal.
The brand has gained a significant following and has been worn by celebrities and public figures, including FKA Twigs, Skrillex, and Katy Perry. Teale Coco herself has been featured in major publications like Vogue and i-D, solidifying her place in the alternative fashion scene.
