Melbourne Fashion Festival 2023 | MIKÕKO

To sum up the experience that was MIKÕKO will take more than a summary post. It was a whole UNIVERSE of synergistic minds that we will be sharing over this next Equinox period.
From a seedling of an idea birthed from discussions between Queen sis @fipekeanu @livingkoko and I vending side by side at @blakdotgallery, exploring ways of reusing her remnant cacao into plant based fabric dye, continuing the series of mycology runways created in partnership with @simbiotic_vision, conversations of mycology and fashion flowing through the hallways of Easey Street Studios with @studio_fear, to the synergy of dear friends - musicians, models, dancers, HMUA artists from all of our universes joining together in this shared experience, MIKÕKO was a universe in which we shine together.
No other day more suited to begin our recap of this incredible production experience than International Women's Day - celebrating not only the amazing femmes who brought their talents and power to this production but in celebration of everyone from our mind blowing team to the incredible audience that came together in support of sustainable women run business, mycology, plant life, and community.
It truly takes a village and we are so grateful to be on this journey with you.
Collection release drops on the EQUINOX 21.03.23  🤎. Today we celebrate COMMUNITY.
