About Zinnia

 

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 immersed in nature, art and imagination. Childhood was filled with texture, travel and creativity — experiences that shaped her deep connection to pattern and storytelling through fabric.

Travelling through India, Thailand, Indonesia and beyond from a young age, she fell in love with traditional craftsmanship, intricate detail and saturated colour. Those early influences remain at the heart of every collection.

Now living along the Sapphire Coast with her children and beloved pups, Zinnia draws daily inspiration from the natural world. She swims in the ocean each morning — a grounding ritual that informs her palettes and keeps her creatively connected to the rhythms of nature.

Her design process is shaped not only by inspiration, but by conversation. Zinnia listens closely to her community, refining silhouettes and colours based on real customer feedback. Isle of Wild evolves with the women who wear it.

At its core is a simple belief: colour brings joy, connection and confidence. Clothing should feel uplifting, expressive and deeply personal — like art you live in.

Building Isle of Wild as a mother and business owner has added depth and resilience to the brand. Each piece is created to move with real life — designed to be worn, loved and lived in.

Isle of Wild is more than a label. It is a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship and the beauty of living boldly.
