Spring in Australia is a season of transition, where cool mornings give way to sun-drenched afternoons, and style is all about balancing comfort with sophistication. At Camargue, Brisbane’s home of international luxury fashion, we believe dressing for spring means embracing light layers, versatile silhouettes, and statement pieces that capture both ease and elegance. This season, designers such as Sofie D’Hoore, Christian Wijnants, and Dries Van Noten deliver collections that redefine spring dressing, blending effortless wearability with bold artistic expression.
In this editorial, we explore how to build a spring-ready wardrobe that feels fresh, modern, and uniquely suited to the Australian lifestyle.
The Art of Spring Dressing in Australia
Unlike the extremes of summer or winter, spring calls for clothing that adapts to fluctuating temperatures. Think breathable fabrics, refined tailoring, and considered colour palettes. Spring in Australia isn’t just about lighter layers, it’s also a time for experimentation, playing with textures and accessories that elevate everyday dressing.
Whether you’re heading to long lunches, gallery openings, or simply enjoying weekends by the river, spring style is all about functional elegance. This is where Camargue’s curated edit comes in, spotlighting pieces that marry comfort with luxury.
Sofie D’Hoore: Minimalism with Ease
Belgian designer Sofie D’Hoore is synonymous with effortless minimalism. Known for her architectural silhouettes and understated elegance, her pieces are ideal for the Australian spring. Sofie D’Hoore’s approach to design is rooted in quality fabrics and timeless shapes, offering garments that transcend trends while feeling perfectly modern.
This season, expect crisp cotton shirting, relaxed tailoring, and voluminous dresses in sun-washed tones and neutral palettes. These versatile pieces are designed to be layered, ideal for mornings when a light jacket is essential, but easily pared back as the day warms.
Key styling notes:
-
Pair an oversized Sofie D’Hoore shirt with tailored trousers for a polished yet relaxed look.
-
Opt for one of her cotton dresses, styled with flat sandals or minimalist sneakers, for a weekend-ready ensemble.
-
Layer with a lightweight trench or unstructured blazer to handle the spring temperature shifts.
With Sofie D’Hoore, the focus is on quiet luxury—a perfect fit for those who embrace an understated yet sophisticated approach to dressing.

Spring is the season to embrace lighter fabrics and playful details, and Wijnants’ collections often feature silk dresses, fluid trousers, and statement knitwear in a palette that feels both fresh and artistic. His pieces are designed for movement and flow, reflecting the freedom of spring’s warmer days.
