Mia Melon is based on a fictional character, created as a muse by founder Polly Green. Each season, Mia is turned into something new, she sets the stage for the story that is told through each collection. Mia Melon's story is shown visually, with the use of signature prints and unique design details. Whimsical and feminine, Mia Melon is not without a dark side. She is never too girly, or follows fashion too closely. She is always on the cutting edge of fashion, but more importantly, she follows her inner voice of style, often with a sense of humor and confident quirkiness.
Mia Melon’s dark side is represented by the symbol of the black crow, which is it’s logo and design inspiration. Fabrics vary each season, with a range and mix of soft cottons, fluid rayons and stretch jerseys. Each season the design team focuses on finding quirky signature prints and mixing them into a range of edgy, unique designs that are functional yet with creative details instilled in unexpected places.
Founded by Polly Green in 2007, the Mia Melon brand has grown from it’s humble beginnings to now being stocked in over 100 multi-brand stores. These boutique stores are among some of the best retail stores in North America. The Mia Melon stocklist continues to grow within Canada and Mia Melon's expansion to boutique stores in the United States is in progress.
The Mia Melon head office is based in Vancouver, BC, which is a city full of inspiration for the design team. The design team works under a new head designer from Sydney, Australia, Mandy Morgan. The Mia Melon design will continue to draw from the same pool of inspiration but with a fresh, International twist to our Mia Melon "muse".
