Forbidden Fruits designs considered, intimate pieces created to move between private moments and nights out. Each piece is designed with dual intention. Statement pieces, created to feel powerful on the body without becoming performative.

Born from the pulse of 80s nostalgia and a devotion to movement, Forbidden Fruits is a meditation on what it means to feel, to be alive, to create, and to return home to yourself. The label explores intimacy not as something hidden, but as something embodied, fluid, and expressive.

Founded by Giulia, an Australian designer born and raised along Melbourne’s beautiful peninsula, Forbidden Fruits is deeply rooted in her Italian heritage. The brand carries echoes of family gatherings filled with laughter, music, and dancing.

Fashion runs through her lineage. Giulia’s zia's and cugini, women of unmistakable European sensuality, remain her eternal source of inspiration. A lifelong love for vintage finds shapes her creative eye, forever drawn to the forgotten, the discarded, and the quiet beauty hidden in what once was.

Inspired by nature, Forbidden Fruits honours the delicate beauty and graceful complexity of the world around us. Each piece is designed to move with the body, adapting to different moments, different energies, and different expressions of self.

Every collection is intentionally small, created slowly and consciously. Our fabrics are chosen with care, and our process is guided by respect, for the planet, for craftsmanship, and for the community who wear our pieces.

Forbidden Fruits is a reminder that art begins in the body.
