About Us
Welcome ! My name is Vanessa and my daughter's name is Miya. We are the founders and designers of Mimi Miya ( yes even though she is only 3 years old ). I am a solo mum of one beautiful daughter which some call her Mimi and some call her Miya which gave me the idea of the brand name Mimi Miya.
I have been a Fashion Designer for many Australian brands on the past, also had my own Bridal brand V. SOUZ Atelier when I lived in Hollywood and I was a Celebrity stylist for Australian Television prior to giving birth to Miya. After my baby's arrival I decided to start the brand Mimi Miya and Mummy e Me after noticing the lack of high quality and special girls clothing in Australia with Princess Couture inpired designs and also High end Mummy and Me matching clothing so we decided to make it all happen! As we love to match outfits when we can!
As a mum and qualified fashion designer, I understand the importance of dressing our little ones in clothes that not only look stylish and adorable but are also comfy and functional. And I take quality and confort as a top priority when producing our Collections.
Design is another important factor as nowadays there is too many clothes out there and most similar to each other making all kids dress similar and a lot of cheap fast fashion contributing to the overbuying of kids clothing and waste which is is not sustainable to our planet.
Our child is special and deserves to wear clothes that are made to be gentle to their skin, comfortable for their fun days and a design that is not ordinary but unique and special as they are. Every piece in our collection is made with love and care, from the softest luxurious materials to the special designs.
Our mission is to empower and inspire kids to be confident, fearless, and true to themselves through their styles. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us, and we can't wait for your little ones to join the Mimi Miya and Mummy e Me family.
Our Designer History
Vanessa Souza is originally from Brazil but moved to Australia when she turned 18 to study Fashion Design. She has worked in Fashion in Hollywood LA for Designer Brian Lichtenberg and her own Couture Atelier V. SOUZ. Upon returning from the USA back to Sydney she has worked for a few Australian brands such as Teaberry, Pink Ruby, Honey & Beau, Romance, Charlie Brown, Suboo, Willow and others, working mostly on Womenswear designs from Resortwear to Ready to Wear to Couture Dress. Prior to having her baby she also developed a wardrobe for the tv presenters on Channel 75.
Vanessa had a difficult pregnancy, her doctors informed her it was a high-risk pregnancy that caused her to do bed rest for 3 months before giving birth. After the birth of Miya and becoming a single parent her priorities changed and her main focus became to put her passion for Fashion and Skills into starting Mimi Miya and Mummy e Me. She ensures each style, chose every fabric, ensuring only top quality is offered to her customers!
