HoMie (an acronym for Homelessness of Melbourne Incorporated Enterprise) is an Australian streetwear fashion label and social enterprise located in Fitzroy, Melbourne. The not-for-profit organisation that owns HoMie was established in February 2015 by Nick Pearce, Marcus Crook and Robert Gillies. HoMie supports young people affected by homelessness and hardship, with all of the company profit put towards funding HoMie's social impact programs. These programs include the HoMie Pathway Alliance (a paid retail-training internship), the Retail Ready program (that upskills young people to become more prepared for work in the retail industry), and "VIP" shopping days (at which young people connected to homelessness services shop for new clothing at a HoMie store, free of charge).[3][2][4] The HoMie fashion label has collaborated with Champion, the Australian Football League and the Los Angeles Rams of the American National Football League, and its upcycled sub-label, REBORN, received the Victorian Premier's Design Award for fashion design in 2020.[5][6][7][8] HoMie was included in the National Gallery of Victoria's Melbourne Now exhibition in 2023 and opened a second clothing shop in Emporium Melbourne in 2025.[9][10] All three co-founders of HoMie have been awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for their community work: Gillies in 2019 and Pearce and Crook in 2026.[11][12]

History

[edit]

Homeless of Melbourne and the Street Store (2013–2014)

[edit]

Pearce, who studied communications at RMIT University, and Crook, a photographer and past AFL football player, met in 2013 on a charity bike ride across South East Asia.[13][14][15] When they returned to Melbourne, they launched a Facebook page (called "Homeless of Melbourne") in August 2014 that showcased photography and quotes from interviews with people sleeping rough in the Melbourne CBD. The page was loosely modelled off the Humans of New York Facebook page, which aimed to challenge stereotypes and pre-conceptions about homelessness in Melbourne.[16][17][18][19][20] Pearce's school friend Robert Gillies, then a medical student at Monash University, joined the two soon afterwards, to assist with the interviews, posting and page management.[21][13][22] As the Facebook page grew, the group wanted to give back in more practical ways, and (inspired by the "Street Store" movement that originated in South Africa), they organised a one-day "Melbourne Street Store" in Federation Square in December 2014, which was described as the first in Australia at the time. The Federation Square Street Store invited homelessness services to introduce their clients to other Melbournians in attendance on the day, who donated clothing free of charge on paper clothes hangers, gave food, and even provided hairstyling services.[13][23][18] From their experience running the Federation Square Street Store, the idea for HoMie was born, envisaged as a shop that would operate as a charity and become financially sustained by its own clothing label, where people experiencing homelessness could shop for free as "VIP" customers. The acronym for the store - Homeless of Melbourne incorporated enterprise (HoMie) - was derived from the Facebook page title, as well as the incorporated entity (the charity) and social enterprise (financial model) that would create the store. A Pozible crowdfunding campaign to fund a pop-up shop as a 'proof of concept' (during which Pearce and Crook slept rough for two nights), passed its $10,000 goal with $12,227 from 268 supporters by its 1 May 2015 deadline, and further donations took the total past $20,000.[21][3] Come May 2015, the Facebook page had grown further, to a scale of more than 16,000 followers.[21]

Melbourne Central pop-up (2015–2016)

[edit]

Crook, Pearce and Gillies founded "Conscious Creative Limited" (the company that operates HoMie, then called "Homeless of Melbourne Incorporated"), which became registered as an Australian charity and a public benevolent institution on 17 February 2015.[24][25][26] Following its successful crown funding campaign, the first HoMie store opened on 29 June 2015. At that time, HoMie was staffed by volunteers and ran out of level two in the Melbourne Central Shopping Centre. Melbourne Central offered the space at about half its normal rent to the group. Target fitted out the 175-square-metre store without charge, St Ali donated a coffee machine, and the store's clothing stock was donated by brands including Cotton On, Snowgum, Stüssy, Trend Clothing and Boomerang Exchange.[27][28][13] For every item of clothing purchased at HoMie, an item of clothing was donated to a person experiencing homelessness, distributed during the shop's "VIP Shopping Days", where the HoMie store closed to the public and welcomed in the clients of local Melbourne homelessness charities. VIP Customers could each choose their own clothing from store stock, have a haircut, coffee and participate in job-skills workshops facilitated by local community members.[27][29] The first VIP day, on 8 July 2015, was covered by the Herald Sun and SBS, with the barber Nasir Sobhani, known as "the Streets Barber", cutting hair in the store.[30][31] Gillies said the aim was to make donating easier and receiving dignified,[31] and Pearce said it was to make giving simpler and more transparent.[29] Conscious Creative Limited continued to operate the Homeless of Melbourne Facebook page, and created Charity Tap later that same year, a scheme under which bars and pubs donated a portion of revenue on selected tap drinks to local charities; by August 2016 it had raised more than $400,000.[32][33] HoMie continued to operate after its initial four-week pop-up; the shop traded for about a year, and during that time began offering volunteer shifts, and later paid work, to young people experiencing homelessness.[13] In October 2015 Gillies was named Victoria's Young Australian of the Year for 2016, with the award citing his co-founding of Homeless of Melbourne and HoMie.[34][35] The first HoMie-branded T-shirts had been printed as rewards for supporters of the crowdfunding campaign;[13] after they sold well in the shop, Crook began designing an original range,[36] and in 2016 the label added a women's line, HoMie 4 Her, with dedicated VIP days for women affected by family violence or homelessness.[36]

Fitzroy flagship and the Pathway Alliance (2016–2019)

[edit]

When the rental agreement for the shop's space in the Melbourne Central Shopping Centre was lost to redevelopment in 2016, the board signed a five-year lease on a shop at 296 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy,[32] which opened as HoMie's flagship store in the second half of 2016.[32][4][9][1]: 18  By then, the HoMie fashion label had become a fully fledged unisex streetwear label with T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts and track pants designed by Crook, with customers as far afield as Britain, the United States and Brazil.[36] In 2017 the founders launched the HoMie Pathway Alliance, an accredited retail-training and paid-internship program for young people affected by homelessness or hardship, at the Fitzroy store.[9][37][38] Pearce said the program grew out of conversations with young VIP-day shoppers who could not get jobs without work experience;[13] in its first year trainees studied for a Certificate III in Retail Operations before moving into part-time work.[14] It began as an in-house program, the Pathway Project, and from 2018 expanded into an alliance with other retailers, beginning with Cotton On, which took interns into its Melbourne stores; Pearce described it as the first program of its kind in Australian retail.[13][9] An earlier social-media campaign, #EmpowerHour, in which supporters shared workplace selfies alongside information about homelessness to fund the program, raised about $100,000, according to Gillies.[38]

In April 2018 HoMie released its first collection made entirely in Australia, with cotton grown in New South Wales and garments made and printed in Melbourne by manufacturers accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia.[39] Pearce was named Young Retailer of the Year by the National Retail Association in 2018,[40] and in the 2019 Queen's Birthday Honours Gillies was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for service to the community through charitable initiatives.[11][38] The label was shown at the Melbourne Fashion Festival for the first time in 2018,[41] and in November 2019 GQ Australia named HoMie its Social Force at the magazine's Men of the Year awards.[42]

REBORN, collaborations and the pandemic (2020–2022)

[edit]

In March 2020 HoMie launched REBORN, a sub-label of one-off garments upcycled from second-hand clothing, deadstock and factory offcuts, which Crook had begun by cutting and sewing together pieces left over from a VIP day.[43][44] A 100-piece REBORN collection was created for that year's Melbourne Fashion Festival, which was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic,[44] and the label received the Victorian Premier's Design Award for fashion design in 2020.[8] In October 2021 REBORN received the Gold Award in the fashion-impact category of the Australian Good Design Awards, with Crook, Chloe Turner and Corin Corcoran credited as its designers.[45] A REBORN collection made with donated clothing from the textile-recycler Upparel was shown at Melbourne Fashion Week in November 2020.[46] In March 2021 HoMie released its first international collaboration, a co-branded range of hoodies, T-shirts and socks with the American brand Champion, which had supported HoMie since 2017, collaborated on REBORN in 2020 and employs Pathway Alliance interns; the range was sold through Champion stores nationally.[5][47][8] The enterprise attracted international attention, including a report by the Los Angeles television station KABC-TV in 2021.[48] In April 2022, for Youth Homelessness Matters Day, HoMie ran a campaign that asked 28,000 Australians (the estimated number of 12- to 24-year-olds experiencing homelessness each night in Australia) to wear a hoodie and post under the hashtag #Hoodies4Homelessness; by then the Pathway Alliance's employer partners included Champion, Bonds and Retail Prodigy Group.[49] The campaign has since run annually; in 2023 donations were shared with the Melbourne homelessness service Launch Housing.[50]

Leadership change and expansion (2023–present)

[edit]

In March 2023 Pearce announced that he would step aside as chief executive after eight years to focus on his family;[51] Stephanie Say, formerly of The Big Issue and the Reach Foundation, was appointed chief executive that September, and Pearce remained an adviser to the board.[52] The same year HoMie's garments were exhibited in the National Gallery of Victoria's Melbourne Now.[9] In July 2023 REBORN released a 100-piece collection made with Disney, which Ragtrader described as the first time in Australia that an outside apparel label had upcycled Disney materials; by then REBORN had turned 938 kilograms of waste material into 2,517 one-off garments.[53] In September 2023 Ragtrader reported that HoMie and the Melbourne textile manufacturer ABMT had piloted an upcycling production line at ABMT's factory in Sunshine, remaking 210 garments in a week and a half (REBORN's own workshop in Collingwood had produced 30 to 50 at a time) with the aim of offering the service to other fashion brands.[54] Upcycled collections for other labels followed: one from donated Mambo stock in February 2024, and in September 2024 a run of 230 garments cut from past-season Country Road stock at the ABMT facility and sold in four Country Road stores.[55][56] In 2024 HoMie began an annual collaboration with the Australian Football League, producing limited-edition club knitwear whose profits fund its programs; the range, first shown on the runway at the Melbourne Fashion Festival, was covered by the streetwear publication Hypebeast and had reached three editions by 2026; HoMie reported selling more than 5,000 of the knits in 2025.[57][6][58][59][1]: 4  In October 2024 REBORN, working with Champion, passed three tonnes of textiles diverted from landfill,[60] and that year it won a Good Design Award for fashion;[61][60] in 2025 REBORN won a Good Design Award in the social-impact category.[62] Crook was awarded a 2024 Churchill Fellowship by the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust to investigate circular-economy solutions to textile waste in the fashion industry, which he undertook in 2025 across seven countries including Bangladesh, Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States.[63][1]: 15  His report, published by the Trust, recommended a national network of circular-economy hubs, local remanufacturing capacity and integrated repair infrastructure.[64]

In June 2025 the Hoodies for Homelessness campaign, run with Champion, donated more than 3,000 hoodies to young people affected by homelessness.[1]: 4  According to HoMie, the campaign had by then raised more than $772,000 from the sale of more than 7,000 hoodies since 2022.[65] The same year HoMie launched Store Sessions, a series of stripped-back concerts recorded in the Fitzroy store, whose first season featured Tash Sultana, Bad//Dreems and Big Words and was reported by Rolling Stone Australia.[66][1]: 16  In October 2025 it opened a second, 180-square-metre store in Emporium Melbourne, with fit-out and other support from more than 30 businesses and foundations; SmartCompany reported that its programs had by then supported more than 3,900 young people, and the new store was intended to employ young people from its programs in the city centre.[2][67][10] Its major philanthropic backers were the Ian Potter Foundation, the Brian M. Davis Charitable Foundation and the WISE coalition led by the Greater Melbourne Foundation, and HoMie described it as the first store operated by a charity or social enterprise in a Vicinity Centres shopping centre.[1]: 4, 12  In the 2026 Australia Day Honours, Pearce and Crook were each awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia.[68][69][12][70] In June 2026 HoMie held its first pop-up shop in Sydney, over two days at Gallery Brave in Surry Hills.[71] In July 2026 it released a limited-edition collection with the Los Angeles Rams, with all profits going to its programs, ahead of the first NFL regular-season game played in Australia, between the Rams and the San Francisco 49ers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground that September.[7][72]

Programs and structure

[edit]

HoMie operates as a retailer whose profits are committed in full to its social impact programs, and is owned/operated by the registered charity Conscious Creative Limited.[3][26][73] It is governed by a board of seven volunteer directors, chaired by Chris Enright,[26][1]: 3  and is certified as a social enterprise by Social Traders.[1]: 18  Gillies has served on the charity's board since its establishment, and is the longest serving and only continuous board member in 2026.[74][22][26] HoMie's programs are the HoMie Pathway Alliance, the VIP program, a shorter Retail Ready program introduced in 2025, and an alumni network for program graduates.[9][62][10] HoMie reports that 4,513 young people had taken part in its programs by 2026, and that its 2025 retail sales of A$3.59 million, 65 per cent higher than the previous year, left it about 70 per cent self-funded.[75][1]: 11 

The Pathway Alliance is an eight-month paid internship for young people aged 18 to 25 who are referred by community support services. Participants are paid to study a Certificate III in Business with a registered training organisation, to attend personal and professional development classes, and to work part-time in HoMie's store or at partner retailers including Champion, Nike and Sportsgirl, at rates set by the General Retail Industry Award.[9][75][76] By 2023, 34 young people had graduated, each having completed more than 88 hours of paid retail training and more than 300 hours of paid employment;[9] nine more completed the program in 2025, with employer partners including Nike, Sportsgirl and AMX;[1]: 9  HoMie reports that 84 per cent of graduates are in work or further education a year after finishing.[75] Retail Ready, a ten-week paid employment program for 18- to 25-year-olds, was piloted in 2025 in three cohorts of six; all 18 participants completed it, and HoMie planned to expand it to 48 places in 2026.[62][1]: 8  Across its two employment programs HoMie employed 27 young people in 2025.[10][1]: 3 

On VIP days, HoMie closes its store to the public and invites a youth homelessness service to bring its clients to choose five items of new HoMie clothing without charge, with haircuts, beauty services and lunch provided.[3][13] By 2023 some 1,990 young people had taken part and more than 9,870 items of clothing had been given away;[9] in 2025 the program, which now also posts "VIP packs" to young people who cannot attend in person, supported 604 young people from 43 services with 2,980 items of clothing.[1]: 7  Unsold seasonal stock is used for VIP days or reworked by REBORN, and fabric offcuts are recycled through Upparel.[77][9]

Recognition

[edit]

REBORN was named best in category for fashion design at the 2020 Victorian Premier's Design Awards,[8] and has been recognised three times by Good Design Australia: the Gold Award for fashion impact in 2021,[45] a Good Design Award for fashion in 2024,[61][60] and a Good Design Award for social impact in 2025.[62] GQ Australia named HoMie its Social Force at the magazine's 2019 Men of the Year awards.[42] HoMie is used as a case study of social enterprise in the Cambridge University Press textbook Cambridge VCE Business Management Units 3&4.[4] Gillies was named Victoria's Young Australian of the Year for 2016 and Young Victorian of the Year in 2017 for his work with HoMie and related initiatives,[34][78] was one of the 2016 honorees of Junior Chamber International's Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World program in the humanitarian and voluntary leadership category in 2016,[79] and received the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2019 for service to the community through charitable initiatives;[11] Pearce and Crook received the same honour in 2026.[68][69][12][70] Pearce also received the Leadership Award at the 2017 Victorian Young Achiever Awards,[80][81] was the National Retail Association's Young Retailer of the Year in 2018[40] and was named a Westpac Social Change Fellow in 2021.[22] Crook received the individual award at Connections UnitingCare's 2016 Anti-Poverty Awards for his work with HoMie,[82] and in 2024 Inside Retail ranked him second in its annual Top 50 People in E-Commerce.[41]
