A Moment to Celebrate—And Reflect

At Pear Collections, we’ve always believed in creating fashion that not only fits but also empowers. Winning this award is a heartfelt reminder that our message is being heard loud and clear across Australia and beyond.

This isn’t just a win for Angie or the team—it’s a win for every pear-shaped and curvy woman who has ever felt unseen or underserved by mainstream fashion.

A Brand Built for Curves and Confidence

From the very beginning, Pear Collections was built around a clear mission: to help pear-shaped and curvy women #LoveYourCurves. Our capsule range has always been about comfort, timeless style, and thoughtful design that celebrates curves rather than hiding them.

We exist to champion body positivity because every woman deserves to feel confident, stylish, and empowered in the clothes she wears, without needing to sacrifice comfort or authenticity.

“I created Pear Collections because I couldn’t find fashion that felt like it was made for me, so I made it for all of us. This award tells me that we’re not just making clothes, we’re making a difference.” – Angie Martin, Founder.

Why This Award Means So Much

Being awarded as the Most Empowering Body Positive Clothing Brand Owner 2024 (NSW) isn’t just an exciting accolade—it’s a symbol that change is happening in the fashion industry.

For so long, fashion has catered to a very narrow standard of beauty. But things are shifting. Increasingly, women are seeking styles that complement their bodies, rather than competing with them. Our win demonstrates that the industry is slowly, finally coming around to the values of body positivity, inclusion, and community-first design.

And the best part? This award wasn’t self-submitted or bought—it came from a nomination by our peers. That’s right. Someone out there saw the work we’re doing and thought: They deserve to be recognised. And that, in itself, was already a win in our eyes.

“The Nomination Itself Was a Win”

When we first found out we’d been nominated for this award, we were speechless. To be seen by our peers as a brand truly making a difference—it was humbling, validating, and inspiring all at once.

As a small Australian brand, we pour our hearts into every design, every campaign, and every message we put out into the world. We’ve always done this for the community, and being nominated confirmed that our community was feeling the impact.

…And Then We Won!

Winning the award felt like an absolute dream come true. We never imagined that our small but mighty passion project would be spotlighted on a national stage in this way.

It’s not just recognition—it’s a platform. And we intend to use it.

Winning gives us the momentum to reach more women, share more stories, and be even louder about what matters: self-love, confidence, and real representation in fashion.

“This Award Gives Us a Bigger Voice”

One of the most exciting parts of this win is knowing we now have a stronger voice to advocate for change in the fashion industry.

We want to continue promoting the body-positive movement—not as a trend, but as a lasting shift in mindset. We want more brands to embrace the power of inclusive design and body-celebrating cuts. We want women of all shapes and sizes to walk into a store or browse a website and say, ‘Yes.‘ This was made for me.

This award helps open those doors. It puts a spotlight on the incredible work small, purpose-driven fashion brands are doing behind the scenes. And it proves that heart-centred business can compete, grow, and inspire.

The Power of Community

Pear Collections wouldn’t exist without our community. From the women who supported us at our first launch, to the customers who wear our designs proudly, to the stylists, photographers, team members, and collaborators who bring our vision to life—you’ve all been part of this journey.

Winning this award is a shared victory.

Together, we’re challenging the status quo. We’re showing the world that comfort and style aren’t mutually exclusive. We’re proving that women don’t need to change their bodies—they need better clothes.

“The Pear Community has been the backbone of this brand. Every message, photo, and review reminds us why we started. This award is yours too.” – Angie Martin.

So, What’s Next?

Now that we’ve won, we’re not slowing down. This award has lit a fire in us to do more:

• Expand our range – We’re working on new pieces that continue to blend effortless style with inclusive fit.
• Grow our message – We’re amplifying our body-positive advocacy through strategic partnerships, engaging content, and targeted campaigns.
• Tell more stories – From blog posts to behind-the-scenes interviews, we want to share your journeys too.

A Message from Angie

“I honestly never thought a project I started from my kitchen bench would lead to this moment. Pear Collections has always been personal. I started it to help myself, and it’s grown into something that helps others too.

Winning this award isn’t the finish line. It’s the beginning of something even bigger. We’re going to keep listening to our community, designing for real bodies, and loving every curve along the way. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.” – Angie Martin
