Avadora Mimouni Collection

BY CHIC COMPASS STAFF

Avadora Mimouni was born in the Azores archipelago of Portugal. As a child, Avadora expressed her artistic interests with involvement in theater and fashion shows at local boutiques. In 1994, she relocated to New York City to pursue her modeling career.

When she returned to the fashion scene in 2016, she found it to be a life-changing experience. The fashion world is ever evolving and has found a spotlight in social media. Avadora has graced the covers of magazines, walked prestigious runways, and enjoyed acting roles, but she always felt as though something was missing.

In 2017, she attended a fashion event wearing a purse that she had made years prior and was amazed by the incredible attention and response that she received. On her return home from that fateful event, she reflected on the treasure that she had made and determined that she would make others. By the end of 2017, she had launched the Avadora Mimouni Collection and the entire line sold out.

2018 found Avadora creating a new collection in partnership with Ivonne Camacho of @AbosolutModerne. They began offering private viewings and intimate events across New York City. By the fall of that same year, the collection was presented at the World Bar during New York Fashion Week.

Avadora’s collections are inspired and each is hand-crafted with a mixture of new and vintage elements to ensure that every piece is unique. She also has been able to offer custom purses for select clients using jewelry and family heirlooms.

You may have seen items from the Avadora Mimouni Collection featured around the world in fashion magazines, blogs, and red-carpet events such as the Oscars.
