In this episode, Caroline is joined by Amanda Healey, proud Wonnarua woman and CEO and founder of Kirrikin. After living overseas, Amanda returned home to have her son and was confronted with the difficulty of working a corporate job as a single mother. This is where her entrepreneurial journey began! Initially she founded a  business in the fabrication and engineering field, but switched gears when she was brought to solve an issue within the Australian fashion market. Wanting to create a brand that represented the beauty of Indigenous art, with bright, bold, beautiful colours and patterns… Kirrikin was born. Kirrikin is a luxurious silk clothing line that features a selection of paintings from emerging & renowned Indigenous artists, with profits going directly to artists. Kirrikin has been showcased globally in Los Angeles Fashion Week and Brussels Fashion Week. With Sydney Fashion week only just wrapping up, Amanda sheds light on the process of creating her latest line 'Ripples' and how she creates the designs for each fashion show and how she works with artists to create the incredible pieces within her collection.To learn more about Amanda and her brand Kirrikin, follow her on Instagram @kirrikinaustralia and visit her website here.
