AWARD WINNING FASHION DESIGNER - MIA NISBET graduated with an Honours degree from Glasgow School of Art in 2003. After which she developed her skills as in-house designer for Michiko Koshino. By 2005, she was designer in charge of the Soviet label at USC and launched her own ethical label MIA by Mia Nisbet in 2008. Almost immediately the label attracted major awards. In particular, winner of the prestigious 'Make Your Mark in Fashion' Award 2008 for ethical fashion design during London Fashion Week and also winner of the Ethical Fashion Forum Innovation Award 2009.
MIA by Mia Nisbet fuses recycled fabrics and traditional Malawian textiles to produce a collection that combines the richness of African textiles with Western styling.
The street markets in Malawi sell large volumes of second-hand clothing imported from the US, Europe and elsewhere. This cheap second-hand clothing has made it very difficult for locally produced clothing to compete in the local market. Mia works with producers in Malawi to create ranges which turn this challenge into an opportunity. Collections are designed and marketed to an international fashion market. Profits are reinvested in communities in Malawi as well as in the training, equipment and infrastructure needed to increase market access and create sustainable livelihoods.
