Michelle Rebuli, designer of Miischa, born and living in Melbourne, aged 23, is a self taught designer, with no formal fashion training. Miischa pieces are always completed with eccentric and quirky touches as she gives a part of herself to the collection. To her, design means nothing without giving one's own blood, sweat and tears to it.
Michelle's collections aim to integrate every element a woman desires, as they are a mixture of understated flirty and sexy elegance. The collections always have an intention to blur the lines of making a woman feel chic while bringing out a fun, quirky, kitsch attitude in her.
A notable feature of her collections is, while they are distinctive and tasteful, the pieces are also affordable and have stayed true to supporting the local market by being manufactured in Melbourne.
