- Written by Sara Wilson
Calli partners with Wear It Purple to launch an exclusive 3-part range and #voCALLIse social media campaign, with a percentage of all proceeds donated to the charity
Kicking off their social media content campaign the day after Valentine’s Day, Calli, one of Australia’s leading womenswear fashion brands have partnered with renowned charity, Wear it Purple, to launch three exclusive rainbow designs as we approach the most colourful and love-fuelled event of the year - Mardi Gras.
Adorning the three brand new designs for a combined social media audience of over 300,000, are thirteen of Australia’s leading digital fashion and social media influencers from the LGBTQIA+ community. The talent pool, carefully curated by Calli’s internal creative team will come together to share words of individuality, creativity and inclusivity while adorning the new unisex Calli designs, which include the Calli Rainbow Oversized T-shirt, the Calli Rainbow Embroidered T-shirt and the Calli Rainbow Pullover Jumper.
Newly appointed head of creative at ABA Labels and Calli, Sara Wilson, says: "Beyond a devotion to premium design, we at Calli and ABA Labels are committed to socially responsible business initiatives for the future of fashion. Our fundamental ethos is to unite the concept of accessible fashion with social responsibility in the Australian and global fashion market, and we are delighted to support Wear It Purple with our Rainbow collection, to help create safe spaces for the LGBTQIA+ community."
Lara Husselbee, secretary and board of director at Wear It Purple, says “We are super excited for the partnership with Calli and their beautiful genuine influencers, Tomi, Tania & Grace (to name just a few) in the #voCALLIse campaign. 11 Years on from our launch, Wear It Purple exists to draw attention and awareness to LGBTQIA+ youth issues. With support like Calli donating $5 from every purchase of their Embroidered Rainbow T or Classic Rainbow Jumper to Wear It Purple, we are helping youth to realise that they have support, and that they are being heard. Together, we are helping our mission to foster safe, supportive and empowering environments whenever and wherever rainbow young people need them the most.”
Joining the Calli brand on their mission of individuality, creativity and inclusiveness are thirteen leading Australian fashion and lifestyle influencers, which include Tomi Grainger, Grace Hyland, Tania Safi and Rocky, all supporting the partnership via the hashtag #voCALLIse, which will run across Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.

Sara Wilson continues, “Occasionally, daily life allows us to feel pressure from society, but our Calli 2021 Rainbow campaign is all about enjoying every moment, because every moment is a chance to celebrate. Working with a selection of strong and aspirational individuals to create their own rendition of bold, inspirational content allows them to share their own stories of love, community and individuality”
