Our Story

About the Founder, Ebony!

Hey, I'm Ebony! A Queensland girl at heart, even though life has taken me across many corners of Australia. I'm an outdoor-loving, adventurous soul with a very can-do, try-anything attitude. I thrive on travel, it fuels me, inspires me, and constantly opens my eyes to new ways of living and creating. Exploring different places has shaped who I am, especially when it comes to personal style and self-expression.

Through my travels, I became deeply intrigued by fashion from all over the world. I fell in love with the effortlessly cool, carefully curated pieces I discovered on my trips, styles that felt elevated yet wearable, that I simply couldn't find back home in Australia. Every destination left its mark on me. Different colours, textures, silhouettes, all of it quietly collecting in the back of my mind, waiting to become something.

Alongside this passion, my life is grounded by my partner Harley and two Chow Chows, Arlow and Miley, who keep me present, balanced, and constantly reminded to slow down and enjoy the little moments. Family is extremely important to me, and I feel deeply grateful to have the opportunity to build another family through the Gliss community. Gliss was born from this blend of curiosity, adventure, and a desire to create something meaningful.

About Gliss

Gliss officially launched on May 26th, 2025, but the name itself dates back much further. When I was around 14 years old, my sister and I were obsessed with the Kardashians during the early Dash era. Inspired by how they created a brand from their surname, we took our own last name and created Gliss. We promised each other that one day we'd start a company together, without knowing what it would be, only that we dreamed big. Years later, I realised that Gliss perfectly aligned with the movement I wanted to create: confident, feel-good fashion that feels effortless and accessible.

Gliss started as a way to bridge a gap I'd noticed firsthand, incredible styles I'd discovered through my travels that were simply out of reach for Australian women without expensive international shipping. I wanted to change that. But the more Gliss grew, the more I realised what I truly wanted wasn't just to bring other people's designs to Australia, it was to create my own. To design pieces with a detail that makes you stop mid-scroll and think that is so me.

A New Chapter

That's the chapter we're in now. Gliss has evolved into an Australian design label, drawing inspiration from everywhere, designed right here, and made for the girl who finds magic in the everyday. Every piece is created with intention: the embroidery detail, the colour palette, the way it feels to wear it — it all tells a little story. That's what Gliss has always been about at its core. Fashion that means something, from a girl who genuinely loves it.

We're just getting started.
