Married At First Sight’s Jackson Lonie reveals his bold new move after reality TV: ‘It felt impossible’
Jackson Lonie has revealed his bold new move after finding fame on reality TV.
The Married At First Sight favourite, 32, has launched his own clothing company, Party beededicated to creating stylish, high-quality party shirts.
In an exclusive conversation with Ny Breaking Australia, Jackson shared the inspiration behind the venture and the challenges he faced in bringing his vision to life.
While speaking candidly about why he decided to dive into the fashion world, Jackson revealed his frustrations with the party shirts available on the market.
“I wanted to launch my own clothing line, especially party shirts, because I was tired of buying clothes that were just poor quality,” he explained.
‘They would either be made of terrible material or if you wash them once they would shrink. Or worse, you couldn’t find a good design on a shirt made of decent fabric. It felt impossible. So I thought: stop it, I’ll give it a try myself.’
“I think what makes a party shirt cool isn’t really the shirt itself,” he continued.
‘It’s more about how you feel. If it makes you feel confident, that’s cool, because you radiate self-confidence, and that’s just part of being cool.’

“The most difficult part of the project was definitely the sizing,” he admitted.

‘There are so many different body shapes these days. We wanted to make a shirt that fits everyone, something that is truly inclusive.
‘I didn’t want it to be just for fit guys or just for big guys – I wanted a shirt that suits everyone. A one-stop party shirt.”
Jackson said he hopes his sizing will differentiate his brand in the highly competitive fashion market.
His collection will be officially launched on the Gold Coast on Saturday evening, while a bevy of reality stars will head to Cali Beach Club to celebrate the achievement.
