Apparel & Fashion - Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Founded in Melbourne, Australia during a time when the world needed a little more sparkle! As a child, I revelled in the boundless creativity Melbourne had to offer, whether it be street art, fashion, ballet or theatre. A tiny dancer at heart, I started to create embellished hand crafted pieces for my recital costumes from a young age – from there my love of everything shiny was born.Always having an infatuation with the fashion industry, at 17 I became a Qualified Pattern maker & went on to do further studies of Fashion and Textiles. Encompassing my love of travel, once I had completed my studies I began to follow my heart to far away cities; landing myself in London. I went on a family vacation to celebrate my Mothers birthday; only not get on the plane home and found myself living in Knightsbridge for the next 2 and a half years. In London I immersed myself into the big city lifestyle and began working as a Premium Luxury Children's Fashion Buyer; curating wardrobes for the children of A listers and some of the most well known household names.Returning to Melbourne, I brought a little sparkle & shine back with me. Living by the motto ‘Ordinary life does not interest me' ZINNIAN captures exactly that. An essence of fun, playfulness and a touch of glam with our embellished jackets. Each garment, a treasured item, every crystal applied with precision and each stitch placed by hand. But above all, ZINNIAN pieces are made with love.I look forward to going on this adventure with you. Who knows where we will end up next ...AMY
