Citizen Wolf is proudly B Corp certified and combines algorithms and on-demand manufacturing to create the future of fashion today: custom made and Magic Fit® to your body, ethically made in Sydney with zero waste.
Since 2022 we are also 100% circular. Our Take-Back scheme guarantees our clothes will never end up in landfill, and we combine your old Magic Fit® Tees with our offcut fabric scraps from the factory to create a new, gorgeous 50% recycled fabric from which we can make your next Magic Fit® Tee. Yes, really!
Distilled from 196 million data points, our proprietary Magic Fit® technology automates tailoring at scale using simple biometrics of height, weight, age and bra. With T-shirts as our proof of concept, we create made-to-measure clothing to fit each individual body 10x faster than traditional tailoring, with all garments made ethically and sustainably in Sydney.
It’s better for customers and planet, but also better business as we sell direct-to-consumer via an online growth engine that’s profitable from the first order.
Citizen Wolf won a Good Design Award Gold in the Fashion Impact category (2019) and was also named ‘Innovation Champion of the Year 2019’ by the National Retail Association, as well as being a finalist for ‘Best Ethical Fashion Brand’ at the prestigious Prix de Marie Claire (2017).
Citizen Wolf has been featured on national TV via SBS World News (twice) and Shark Tank as well as top tier press such as Vogue, InStyle, Men’s Health, The AFR’s ‘Luxury’ magazine, The Australian and The Sydney Morning Herald to name but a few.

May 2013
Ascienta is a different kind of investment bank. We extend horizons for innovative high-tech and nanotech companies developing applied disruptive technology — ground-breaking work with the potential to displace current market leaders.
Like our clients, we’re not beholden to traditional thinking. Traditional investment banks focus on transactions. But transactions don’t create value, they reflect it. That’s why traditional capital raising leaves so much to be desired. Ascienta offers a fresh approach.
In 2013 we were responsible for the largest Series A for a tech start-up in Australia and were instrumental in raising double the anticipated capital for a significant nanotech company in the US.
We are a true value-creation partner, providing counsel, capital and communication expertise. And we’re in it for the long-haul. Having scaled a business via simultaneous entry into selected worldwide markets, we continue to leverage our client’s proprietary technology over a number of years, delivering remarkable results.
Our integrity and experience enables us to disrupt market norms in order to reshape our clients’ margins and returns. Our approach creates secure revenue streams and a clearly differentiated competitive advantage in the marketplace. And if we don’t think we can create value for a particular company, we’re not afraid to say so.
While our clients focus on innovating, we bring the wider perspective and deeper insight, as well as the key strategic connections, necessary for those innovations to reach their true market potential. Our ‘three disciplines’ approach of strategic counsel, capital management and integrated communications increases our clients’ capability to deliver extraordinary value for their shareholders.
Distinctly differentiated; patent protected; systematically scaled; and competently capitalised and communicated — those are the elements that characterise the Ascienta alchemy.
