She has carved a name for herself as one of Australia’s most popular designers, dressing the likes of Paris and Nicky Hilton, Sofia Vergara, Isla Fisher and Eva Mendes in her signature embellished gowns, tailored suits and sweet puff-sleeved mini dresses.
And now Rebecca Vallance is heading into an unexpected area of fashion.
This week, Vallance debuted her very first denim collection, marking a new chapter for the eponymous brand.
The stunning range features 15 premium denim pieces designed to be worn from day to night.
In fact, several designs would not look out of place at a cocktail party.
A seriously chic pair of indigo skin-tight straight jeans, a pussy bow blouse and a classic tailored blazer make for the perfect edgy dinner suit.

The collection also boasts retro flares, cinched-waist fitted dresses and timeless oversized aviator jackets.
Vallance told Daily Mail Australia she created the collection to meet her customer’s desire for a more formal denim collection.
‘Over the years we have continued to grow and strengthen our categories, including the launch of our existing ready to wear and bridal, along with our essentials range that offers tailored suiting and tops and blouses to pair back with,’ she said.
‘The next step for us had to be denim, our customers were looking for sophisticated everyday pieces and our new denim collection speaks to that.
‘Denim has always been such a timeless and versatile staple, and I wanted to bring the same level of craftsmanship and sophistication that our brand is known for to this space.’
The Seventies-inspired range still has the signature Rebecca Vallance touch – beautifully tailored pieces and perfect balance of structure, comfort and modern femininity
As for her favourite piece of the collection, Vallance say it has to be a denim staple that is making a huge comeback this year and has been seen on stars such as Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and even Kendrick Lamar during his show-stopping Super Bowl performance last month.

The Gisele flare jeans is Vallance’s favourite piece in the collection
With the closure of so many fashion brands in the last couple of years due to the cost of living and global economic crisis, Vallance’s business is an exception – her business is growing and growing
‘Although I love all the pieces, the Gisele flare jeans in the Indigo Wash is my favourite. It is refined but still fun. You can wear them to the office but also wear them out – they’re so chic,’ Vallance said.
So who is Vallance dying to see slip into her very first pair of expertly designed jeans?
‘Kaia Gerber, Demi Moore, Sydney Sweeney, Gigi Hadid – would all be incredible,’ she says.
‘I’m excited to see everyone in the collection – from Nicky Hilton, Paris Hilton, and Nikki Glaser, to Ashley Madekwe, Jessica Wang and Tina Leung – the list goes on. Being a new category for us, I can’t wait to see how everyone styles the new denim range in their own unique way. ‘
With the closure of so many fashion brands in the last couple of years due to the cost of living and global economic crisis, Vallance’s business is an exception – her business is growing and growing.
In fact, 58% of her clients are international and overall sales are up over 30% this year.
She is set to open even more standalone stores after the exciting opening of her flagship store in the iconic Strand Arcade in Sydney.
And Vallance is not stopping there either, with more capsule ranges and major global moments, which will see even more A-listers clamouring to wear her designs.
‘We have a lot of exciting things coming up this year, be sure to watch this space…’
Vallance dressed Nicky Hilton at Elton John’s annual Oscars party over the weekend and Princess Beatrice is also a fan of her designs
