At CAMILLA, we are on a mission to colour the world through our vibrant prints, to drive meaningful and positive community change, and to protect our muse, Mother Earth. With love and a courageous spirit, we commit to conscious creation through innovation, transparency, honest communication and an unwavering devotion to caring for our planet and its people. The urge to protect Mother Earth is embedded into our very soul. We are more than just a fashion brand: we are committed to being a platform that speaks from the heart to bring about radical change for both our planet and people.
From Our Founder And Creative Director
Mother Nature truly is the greatest muse. We dance to the rhythm of her beating heart, and our ode to her plays through how we choose to live our lives and what we create. She has generously shared her gifts with us: giving us life, warmth, food, shelter, community, and in return, we have a responsibility to protect her. It’s up to us to return the favour by respecting, fiercely protecting and nurturing this beautiful Earth.
When I was first starting out in the early 2000s, I knew I wanted to create something utterly original and unashamedly artisanal. It was a time where almost anything could be replicated, where craftsmanship was being abandoned to accommodate commercial gain and multinational corporations were plundering and polluting our majestic planet in pursuit of their goals. That wasn’t who I wanted to be. There wasn’t even a question. I didn’t care if it made me uncool or poor or if it meant I had to work twice as hard. I wanted to create with depth, meaning.
I strive to properly honour all the people and places I have been lucky enough to visit. The best way I know to do that is to create with authenticity, integrity and craftsmanship. Not just in my designs, but in the way they are printed, embellished and embroidered. Story telling needs to burst from every seam.
CAMILLA pieces are created for longevity, to be treasured forever by first timers and our most loyal collectors. They are hand crafted and never trend driven, made to be passed down from generation to generation.
I’ve always seen CAMILLA as a platform for change. Not just here in Australia, and not just in the way that we present ourselves to the world, but in all the little things that go on behind the scenes.
It’s easy to do the right thing when everyone is watching. But it’s just as important to carry out what you believe in when no one is paying attention. Conscious creation is at the forefront of our minds, now more than ever. We are taking steps towards a brighter future; a better version of ourselves.
With love xx
