MFP - In a few sentences, can you explain your work and what you do/make?
NO - Kindling is a collection of modern, feminine women’s clothing, inspired by beautiful fabric and contemporary utility. We are known for our excellent shapes, high quality textiles and attention to fit for a wide range of body shapes. We complement our collection of bold tailored pieces with strong core basics, all made in by our ethical manufacturing partners.
MFP - On International Women’s Day, what is the most important message you want to send out to other women thinking about their careers?
NO - Running an ethical clothing label is challenging, yet I am so lucky and daily inspired by my constant contact other with incredible female entrepreneurs. Together we support each other through our shared vision and values. We share a mutual understanding that to survive and thrive we have to champion our own space as well as each other.
MFP - Who is a female figure that you admire?
NO - Fiona Pattern, an amazing independent politician here in Melbourne
MFP - How important is it for women to lift each other up and what does that mean to you?
NO - While I love my boys (partner and son) I would be no-where without the support and understanding of all the women in my life. My sisters, colleagues, friends and customers all celebrate me as a fellow woman, designer, and business owner. Feeling a part of a compassionate and supportive network is essential for my wellbeing and success.
Thank you so much for your words and time Nina!
