Welcome to Highrack Studios

At Highrack Studios, we believe that fashion should be about more than just following trends. It’s about expressing who you are, feeling comfortable in your own skin. And enjoying the pieces you wear every day. Founded in 2014 by designer Tessa McGregor, Highrack Studios started with a simple goal: to create timeless, stylish clothing that anyone could wear with confidence.

Our Story

Tessa McGregor, known to many as the Highrack Fairy, began her journey by selling handmade scrunchies and upcycling vintage tees from her home in Melbourne, Australia. These early designs were inspired by her love for fashion’s iconic past. Blending the best of vintage aesthetics with a fresh, modern twist. But Highrack Studios didn’t stop there.

In 2019, Tessa introduced the Sublime Bikers, a breakthrough product designed after spending time in her husband Magnus’ casual wear. She realized that the comfort and ease of simple clothing could be transformed into something chic and stylish. The Sublime Bikers quickly became a customer favorite, with their flattering fit and comfortable design making them a wardrobe essential. Since then, the Sublime Bikers have set a global trend, inspiring brands around the world.

What We Offer

Fast forward to today, and Highrack Studios has evolved into a comprehensive fashion label that offers a range of clothing, including:

Signature Sublime Bikers: The product that put us on the map. These biker shorts are designed for maximum comfort without compromising on style, perfect for lounging at home or heading out.
Footwear & Swimwear: Our expanded line now includes sleek, practical footwear and swimwear, created with the same dedication to comfort and style.
Flares & Other Essentials: We’ve brought the retro look back with our high-quality flares, along with a variety of essential wardrobe pieces that reflect the slow, seasonless fashion philosophy we believe in.

Each product at Highrack Studios is thoughtfully designed and crafted to be both stylish and functional. Whether you’re looking for a casual everyday look or something a bit more bold, we have pieces that will help you express your unique style.

Our Philosophy

Highrack Studios isn’t just about fashion it’s about creating pieces that last. We believe in slowing down the fashion cycle by focusing on quality over quantity, crafting seasonless items that stay relevant year after year. Tessa’s designs are a reflection of her belief that fashion should be personal, practical, and empowering.

In addition to our signature pieces, we’ve also launched HighRack Honey, a playful T-shirt line that celebrates confidence and creativity. From cheeky designs to simple, everyday styles, HighRack Honey has captured the attention of influencers, fashion icons, and customers alike.
