THE STORY SO FAR
The beginning of our long-standing partnership. Mimco proudly supports the NGV's exhibition celebrating more than 200 years of Australian fashion, through the work of more than 90 designers and makers.
As supporters of the NGV Triennial, we create an exclusive six-piece jewellery capsule collection epitomising our seasonal story and drawing parallels to the themes of the Triennial: Body and Movement.
We create a capsule collection inspired by the NGV's Escher X nendo | Between Two Worlds exhibition. Each piece celebrates our unique design process, using key attributes of the artists' works as inspiration.
Our designers draw inspiration from the NGV's world premiere exhibition,Keith Haring | Jean-Michel Basquiat: Crossing Lines. We unveil our newest capsule collection at the NGV Gala in 2019.
We announce our collaboration with NGV Triennial artist and sustainable material innovator, Alice Potts—co-commissioning a piece of artwork for the exhibition and collaborating on a limited-edition jewellery collection crafted using upcycled materials from our archive, with sustainably produced sequins created from biomaterials.
We support a major NGV exhibition celebrating the gallery's extraordinary collection of work by Yol?u women artists from the Buku-Larr?gay Mulka Centre (Buku), in North-East Arnhem Land.
