What started as a venture to sell Aboriginal art prints on scarves has now expanded into elegant luxury resort wear and workwear.

Founder of Kirrikin, Wonnarua woman Amanda Healy showed her more structured collection on Friday night at the Suit Up runway as part of Melbourne Fashion Festival.

A mixture of menswear and womenswear, Healy said she enjoys creating more vibrant colours when it comes to men's clothing.

"I like playing with men's clothing, it is often bland so it's fun to think of brighter colours and prints," she said.

"This is a bit of an extension of what we have already done but men buying our clothing has increased.

"So look out everyone, stylish Blak men coming through."

Healy said this is a step in the workwear direction for Kirrikin.

"We have a bit of a problem where the wider population see our clothes as a novelty purchase and one offs, not something to wear all the time," she said.

"I would like to see all of Australia wearing prints and designs of all the wonderful (Indigenous) designers out there."

Showing at Melbourne Fashion Festival is just the start for Healy, who has plans for new collection soon.

This collection has been influenced by Healy's time at the International Fashion Academy in Paris. She received a Churchill Scholarship in 2019 to study fashion in Europe and was finally able to do so after COVID in late 2022.

"We are finalising our new collection right now but you might expect to see a sassier more European look to Kirrikin later this year, along with some formal looks," she said.

"Some of the time I spent in Paris last year has definitely rubbed off."

Melbourne Fashion Festival concluded March 11.
