I have always known I wanted to go into business. When I was sixteen, I started multiple businesses, trying different ideas and learning what it really takes to create something meaningful. Business was never a question of if but when.

After finishing my final Year 12 exam, my Italian exam on the 20th of November, I decided to stop waiting for the perfect time and start something real. Just two months later, Just Suits was born.

Fashion was never a random choice for me. My dad has been in the clothing industry his entire life, just like his father before him. It is something that has always been in our family. My dad has owned a retail store for over fifteen years, and I have grown up surrounded by it. Since I was young, I have listened to his phone calls, watched him talk to suppliers, and seen how much care goes into every detail of the business. When I was sixteen, I began working in the store myself, helping customers, learning about fabrics, and understanding what people truly value. Even before that, I was always there, observing, learning, and absorbing everything about the industry.

There is a feeling you get when you see someone in public wearing something you helped create. It is something you cannot recreate anywhere else. I remember watching my dad experience that feeling. Whether it was someone walking through the CBD, on a cruise, or in a quiet suburb, seeing someone wear his product always made him smile. That sense of pride, knowing that something you made is now part of someone else’s life, was something I wanted to feel too. That was one of the biggest reasons I chose this path.
