Kym Ellery: Baby joy for the fashion designer who moved to Paris to live a lavish lifestyle after leaving Australia with $2.6 million in unpaid bills

A top Australian fashion designer who moved to Paris when her business was millions of dollars in debt to creditors has announced she is expecting her second child this year.

Kym Ellery, 39, revealed her growing baby bump in an Instagram post on Thursday, when she shared a series of images, including her latest ultrasound.

She slipped her pregnant figure into a shimmering black dress designed by “Uncle” Duran Lantink.

“And then there were four,” she captioned the series of photos on her page.

“Another bundle of love is coming soon, we can’t wait to meet you, baby girl.”

Social media users praised the designer, who said she “felt great.”

The famous fashionista found success after moving from Perth to Sydney and became an overnight sensation who rose to fame at Paris Fashion Week.

But it all came crashing down in April 2019 when his Ellery Land business collapsed due to $2,569,738.55 in debt to creditors, including several family-owned manufacturers.

She has now rebuilt her fashion empire in Paris, while the businesses she left behind are still struggling to recover from the brutal financial hit suffered in the run-up to the Covid lockdowns.

“All I can say is that at the end of the day, I did my best,” Ellery said in 2023.

Since leaving the country, she has flaunted her success abroad in a series of photoshoots and promotional interviews while living in a luxury apartment in Paris.

She even gave birth to her first born, Armand.

Ellery denies fleeing Australia to escape her company’s debts, which include a long list of devastated fashion warehouses, jewelry manufacturers and modeling agencies.
