It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Georgina Weir, a truly remarkable figure in Melbourne’s creative community. A pioneer in Australian fashion and design, Georgina was a force of nature, whose bold vision and innovative spirit shaped the creative landscape of Melbourne and beyond.
Georgina’s career spanned decades, beginning with her early days at Marmarnie in Mount Macedon in 1991, where she worked alongside legendary figures such as John Coote, Kevin O’Neil, John Truscott, Sue Nattress, and Stuart Rattle. Known for her fierce passion, no-nonsense attitude, and forward-thinking approach to design, Georgina quickly became an iconic presence in the fashion world. She was not just ahead of her time, but a true powerhouse — someone who broke boundaries, made her mark, and inspired generations of creatives.
Her impact went far beyond her work. Georgina’s energy and creativity were infectious. She was unapologetically herself and always pushed for excellence, challenging those around her to do the same. Her influence reached into the hearts of all who worked with her, and her legacy will continue to live on in the many projects she touched, the designers she mentored, and the friends and colleagues she left behind.
Her passing marks the end of an era for Melbourne’s creative industry, but her spirit and her work will remain a guiding force for years to come. Georgina, you were one of a kind. Rest in peace. 🕊️💔
