Founded in 2017, the label began with two friends creating clothing designed to complement vintage denim before growing into a global brand with a strong following in the United States.<\/p>\n

From Australia to New York<\/h2>\n

The brand\u2019s journey began on the Gold Coast, where Titilas and Lorking-Tanner identified a gap in the market for effortless, feminine pieces that could be styled with classic jeans.<\/p>\n

Their focus on authentic storytelling and organic connections with online creators helped With J\u00e9an build a dedicated international audience.<\/p>\n

After a successful New York pop-up store, the brand opened its permanent flagship boutique in Manhattan\u2019s SoHo district, where it quickly became a destination for fashion lovers.<\/p>\n

A love letter to Greece<\/h2>\n

For Titilas, Greece has played an important role in both her personal story and creative vision.<\/p>\n

Her family migrated from Greece to Australia, with her roots tracing back to Thessaloniki. She has spoken about spending summers in Greece with her family and the deep connection she feels with her ancestral homeland.<\/p>\n

That connection has influenced With J\u00e9an\u2019s collections, including Ai\u00f3nia<\/strong>, a name inspired by the Greek word meaning \u201ceternal\u201d.<\/p>\n

The collection was described by the brand as a celebration of heritage, creativity and timeless beauty, while Greece also provided the backdrop for campaign shoots.<\/p>\n

Global growth and Australian expansion<\/h2>\n

With J\u00e9an\u2019s popularity continues to grow, with strong demand from international customers and expansion plans across major fashion markets.<\/p>\n
