About the Studio

TMC Studios is an independent multidisciplinary creative studio specialising in fashion design, product development, creative direction and brand consulting.

Founded by Tara Cunniffe, the studio brings together nearly two decades of industry experience, combining creative thinking with technical knowledge and commercial understanding.

Working with emerging and established fashion and lifestyle brands, TMC Studios provides tailored support across the creative and product development process, from initial concepts through to production and beyond.

Alongside its fashion consulting practice, TMC Studios is also home to Tara's original fine art, reflecting a shared appreciation for creativity, craftsmanship and considered design.

The studio works across three interconnected areas:

Fashion & Lifestyle Creative Services Tailored consulting across creative direction, fashion design, product development, production support, wholesale strategy, campaign development, and business operations. Engagements are structured to suit each brand's stage, whether that's a single project or ongoing studio partnership.

Fine Art Original oil paintings by Tara Cunniffe, where botanical forms meet geometric structure. Available for private collectors, interior designers, and commissioned works.

Digital Tools & AI Frameworks A curated suite of downloadable resources and AI-powered frameworks, designed to help founders and creative businesses build stronger brands, develop consistent messaging, and move from scattered ideas to clear, repeatable system, without losing creative integrity.

While each arm of the studio operates independently, all three are connected by the same ethos - that considered creative thinking, applied with precision and purpose, produces work that endures.

Based in Sydney. Working globally. Open to consulting engagements, collaborations, and commissioned work.

A runway is never just about the clothes. What I loved about this Dior show was how much the setting became part of the experience. The architecture, movement, pacing and atmosphere all worked together with the collection rather than sitting behind
A strong collection is built in the details. Colour, fabrication and texture all need to work together - not just look good individually. When I’m developing a range, I’m always looking at the balance across the collection: how colours
After 18+ years working across design, product development, creative direction and production, one thing has become very clear - a strong idea only works when every decision behind it is considered. Fit, fabric, proportion, construction, costing, su
It’s often the smallest details that make a piece feel amazing. There’s so much to appreciate here - the layering, texture, movement and intricacy all working together without it feeling overdone. This is the kind of detail I always not
@chloe Summer 27 Paris fashion week moments. So much beautiful design thinking here. I love the balance of softness and structure, and the way lace, fringe, transparency and volume create movement without feeling overworked. Feminine, detailed and
