NEW HORIZONS

RENOWNED BYRON BAY DESIGNER AND FORMER GLASS ARTIST COLIN HEANEY IS BACK ON THE SCENE, AND HIS NEW PROJECT IS PERFECTLY POISED TO BECOME THE GOLD COAST’S SUMMER STAPLE.

He is known by collectors around the globe for his acclaimed artistic vision and colourful imaginative and luxurious creations. Now, Colin Heaney is joining forces with former fashion model and New York designer Glovindria Singh to create a new luxury fashion brand – Miramaya.

Following a successful transition to fashion in 2008, made possible by extraordinary advances in digital technology that puts his art on lightweight and luxurious silk fabrics, Colin has created clothing and collectable homewares for the global elite. Commissions for palaces and mega yachts across the world are all in a day’s work.

So, when Colin and Glovindria met at a costume party in Byron Bay and instantly felt as if they’d known each other for lifetimes, they knew it was fate telling them to embark on a joint project. Together, they created Miramaya – a celebration of their love for creativity, vibrant colours and flowing fabrics that make women feel beautiful.

Miramaya elevates classic silhouettes into art forms, adorning kimonos, kaftans, scarves and yoga wear with prints for any mood. From powerful and fiery to soothing and serene, inspiration from the feminine archetype is evident across the entire Miramaya range.

A collection of statement pieces in vibrant prints, each design exudes timeless glamour designed to uplift – don a Miramaya garment and you’ll feel instantly uplifted.

Expect sensual, belted, long kaftans enhanced by hand-sewn beads, open sleeves and high slits designed to complement the female form: flowing and graceful. Using the highest quality silk and the finest articulate detail, Miramaya pieces are completed with polished perfection and radiate a timeless quality that never goes out of style.

“The interplay between silk and print creates a luxury that is constantly unfolding,” says Colin. “It reveals itself in ephemeral shapes and optical illusions around the contours of a woman’s form.”

With Miramaya’s made-to-order model, customers can personalize their shopping experience by selecting a garment shape, then choosing length, fabric and print. You can even adorn the label with a personalised message or dedication to make each piece even more special.

“We live in a world where fast fashion is one of the leading pollutants of our planet,” says Glovindria. “Against this backdrop, there is a growing demand among shoppers for conscious clothing that is made with love and careful attention to detail.”
