Tussi was Owned by Australian Sidney Sernack. The label was for very glam 1980s formal dresses, women’s suits and coats.
Sernack’s decision to specialise in ladies’ coats and suits brought instant success. His ability to anticipate the trends, and to source materials and designs from London, New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo, saw his business grow and diversify during the 1970s and 1980s. Despite a number of financial and trading failures, he reached the pinnacle of his fashion career in 1984 when the Tussi label won the After Five section of the FIA awards. No record of the label can be found after 1987.
