ABOUT US
Isle of Wild was founded by creative director Zinnia Golding, born from a lifelong love of vibrant colour, expressive print and clothing that feels alive.
Raised in the Otways of rural Victoria by her bohemian mother and artist father, Zinnia grew up surrounded by nature, art and imagination. Childhood was rich with texture, travel and creativity, shaping her instinctive connection to pattern, colour and the stories that can be told through fabric.
From a young age, travels through India, Thailand, Indonesia and beyond opened her eyes to the beauty of traditional craftsmanship, intricate detail and saturated colour. These influences continue to weave through every Isle of Wild collection, brought together with a distinctly Australian sense of place.
Today, living on the Sapphire Coast with her children and beloved pups, Zinnia finds constant inspiration in the natural world. Each morning she swims in the ocean, a grounding ritual that keeps her connected to the changing light, colours and rhythms of nature.
But inspiration is only one part of the process. Isle of Wild is shaped through conversation with the women who wear it. Zinnia listens closely to her community, continually refining colours, prints and silhouettes in response to real lives, real bodies and real needs. The brand grows alongside the women who become part of its story.
At the heart of Isle of Wild is a simple belief: colour has the power to bring joy, confidence and connection. Clothes should make you feel something. They should be expressive, uplifting and deeply personal, like art you can live in.
Building Isle of Wild as both a mother and business owner has given the brand an appreciation for the beautiful messiness of real life. Every piece is designed to move with it, from everyday moments to occasions worth dressing up for and to be worn, loved and lived in.
Isle of Wild is a celebration of colour, craftsmanship and individuality. A way of dressing that feels joyful, considered and entirely your own.
