What Makes Australian Designers so Good?

We’ve had a very busy past couple of months here at Mini Treasure Kids visiting the Bubble trade show in London then Pitti Bimbo in Florence and back to Melbourne where we attended Kids in Style in early August.

We were flattered that LMNOP blog described us as “local heroes” and “the toast of the town” at the Europe tradeshows.
The latest edition of Studio Bambini features an article on Pitti Bimbo, the “world’s largest and most prestigious children’s fashion trade show.” Our very own Conie Silvestro is quoted as saying “Pitti is the fair to be at to capture a worldwide audience. Pitti Bimbo is the pinnacle of trade shows – the attendance is high and the products are of exceptional quality."

So we were wondering, what makes Australian Designers So Good?
When you hear the word “designer” you will probably immediately think of clothing that comes from Paris or Italy, countries that have a rich history with fashion and culture.

But we consider Australian Designers to be up there with some of the best in the world, a breath of fresh air with unique designs, ideas and creativity.
Australia certainly has a unique landscape and climate and our culture and history certainly make us a distinctive country in many ways. Australian designed clothing is undoubtedly beautiful and inspiring with a modern edge while still remaining timeless.
“There is a place for (Australian fashion) as we don’t look the same as all the labels in Europe,” says Conie.
Mini Treasure Kids is proudly 100% Australian (and proud Melbournites) – stay tuned as we reveal our Summer Range in the upcoming weeks.
