Kwest started with two lovers in South Auckland who just really loved clothes.

Five years later, we’re still creating what we love, shaped by fashion, culture, community and the people who’ve grown with us.

(And it's pronounced like 'Quest') xx

Kwestian is the creative mind behind the brand.

He designs each collection and is passionate about getting the fit right, refining every piece until it feels exactly how he imagined it. His Māori culture and background in music are a big influence on the way he creates and the ideas he brings to the brand.

Shan is a part-time ICU nurse who loves clothes, styling and a distinctly Y2K aesthetic.

She brings the heart to Kwest and helps keep the brand grounded in who we are. For Shan, how people feel when they interact with Kwest matters just as much as how the clothes look.
