Hi, I’m Aimee, founder of Trevena and the artist behind our colourful designs. My love of both movement and creativity started from a young age, however, the journey to get here (much like life itself, for many of us) has been peppered with setbacks: from suffering a hip injury in my teens which destroyed my dream of becoming a full-time dancer, to being told by my teachers in high school that my artwork wasn’t good enough. Both of these experiences shattered me, but were instrumental, retrospectively, in getting me to where I am today.Whilst practicing yoga in India, I learnt the art of mandala from a street artist in Rishikesh and it was this artform, with its geometric lines and patterns, that first helped me to really understand mindfulness. Creating mandala art soon became an outlet for both self-expression and healing and the seed of Trevena the label was planted.My beloved second home, Bali, brought the label details to life and in an effort to be part of the solution, I made it my mission to not only ethically produce my apparel but also use sustainable fabrics – ones which would perform just as well as any you could pull off the shelf of a standard activewear store. Where I landed was a combination of recycled plastic bottle lycra and biodegradable, natural fibre fabrics (like bamboo, linen and rayon). These fabrics are eco-friendly, long-lasting and feel beautiful to wear. They have become the canvases for my artworks.These days, I take inspiration from nature, advice from those who love me and pride in seeing women feel special and empowered by wearing my artwork. I am hopeful that my story inspires other women to find balance in their lives; to feel bold and courageous and to treat their life like a work of art and their body like a naked canvas ready for a splash of colour.
