Mimosa Story

With a sparkle of Champagne, the freshness of juice and a vibrant mix of grenadine, the Mimosa cocktail is surely the best start to any special occasion.

 

As special occasions go, could there be anything more important that standing out in the crowd, your uniqueness on full display ?

 

Designer Amanda Gilham has a desire for everyone to stand out, no matter how big or small the occasion, and provides no excuse through her designer label MIMOSA.

 

Amanda  has enjoyed a colourful  20 year journey in the Australian fashion industry designing successful brands Endless Spirit, Earth Angel, Grab and more recently the highly acclaimed sister label to Mimosa, the designer Kaftan label, Phyllis Boho

 

During an exciting  4 year excursion to Hong Kong, the Mimosa label was conceived and launched in 2008. With the Hong Kong office well established to manage sourcing and production,  Amanda  moved back to Australia, trading in her home town of Melbourne for the eclectic lifestyle epicentre of Australia, Byron Bay.

 

The Mimosa Design Studio was established in 2009 with a team of extremely talented like minded individuals attracted to the allure of the Byron life style and the natural inspiration it provides to be creative.
With an ardent belief that the best style is only as good as the quality of the fabric it’s made from, luxurious fabrications and stunning exclusive prints provide the signature to each Mimosa collection. An obsession with quality silk ensures continuous travel throughout the Orient beating  a direct path to world class fabric mills.

 

Much of Mimosa’s enormours popularity can be attributed to a simple (but often neglected) philosophy. Designer fashion should not be outrageously expensive. Mimosa designs are highly desirable yet surprisingly accessible.

 

Mimosa is presented exclusively in David Jones Department store  across Australia, along with a selection of the best independent fashion boutiques across the Southern and Northern Hemisphere.

 

 

How do you dress in a town that thrives on individuality? A place where people prefer not to wear shoes and there is a genuine appreciation of all things artistic? A Kaftan ! Not just any Kaftan, a designer kaftan in luxe silk fabrics, divine embellishments with excusive prints that becomes your very own statement.

This is where the story begins. Phyllis Boho was created out of a need for a Byron Bay “uniform”. Each Phyllis Boho exclusive silk kaftan design is a reflection of the colourful, creative culture that Byron Bay is world famous for.
