AUSTRALIAN FASHION LABEL Dyspnea designs elaborate garments that seem almost like jewellery for the body. Their pieces classically feature sequins, beads, fluff, ruffles\u2014 pretty much anything \u2018extra\u2019 that you can imagine.<\/p>\n
Their trademark sequin-spangled outfits evoke the unapologetic maximalism of the \u2018Y2K party girl\u2019 aesthetic. (It\u2019s no coincidence that Paris Hilton, the blueprint Y2K party girl, follows Dyspnea online.) The brand is resurrecting the glitz and glamour of the early aughts, but with a body-positive outlook that was absent from the original era. The result is clothing that feels fun and celebratory \u2014 not simply worn, but adorned by the wearer.<\/p>\n

We chatted to them about Dyspnea\u2019s rise to cult-favourite status online, celebrating the self through clothing, and embracing maximalist fashion.<\/p>\n
The name Dyspnea comes from the medical term for \u2018shortness of breath\u2019. And taking your breath away is exactly what Jameen and Rachel have set out to do with their designs.
