Miimi and Jiinda Yarilla Fashion Show

Founded in 2018 by Melissa Greenwood

Giinagay (hello)

Miimi & Jiinda was born from the loving connection and shared creativity of a Gumbaynggirr mother and daughter. Founder Melissa is the artist and fashion designer, creating hand-painted original artworks that are transformed into both fine art pieces and high-end, sustainable clothing. By printing her artwork directly onto fabric, she brings her designs to life as wearable art, blending storytelling with contemporary style.

Lauren, a master weaver, plays an integral role by crafting intricate adornments that complement Melissa’s designs on the runway, adding texture and depth to each piece. While she occasionally creates artworks, her primary focus is on her weaving projects and sharing her cultural knowledge as a respected Gumbaynggirr Elder. Her guidance and deep connection to culture are at the heart of Miimi & Jiinda, shaping the stories they tell through their art and design.

Together, they create collections that celebrate creativity, craftsmanship, and connection, offering a unique fusion of fine art and fashion.
