The beginning

Raven - bold, edgy designs for real women.

RAVEN was born out of a frustration in not enjoying the current plus-size market offering for women like me. I wanted funky edgy designs made for real NZ women, just like me. We have personalties too right?. Whilst I do design in colour, the base ethos of Raven is dark & moody. A lot of black teamed with bold screen printing or clever design features. 

With a Diploma in Fashion Design, and 20+ years in the NZ Fashion Industry, Joan has developed RAVEN, a size inclusive label, producing bold wearable pieces with edge.

Proudly designed and completely produced in NZ, supporting local artisans and keeping our specialist technically skilled makers in jobs.
