From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Collette Dinnigan (born 1965 in South Africa[1]) is an Australian fashion designer.

Born in South Africa, Dinnigan was raised in New Zealand and later moved to Australia. She has had an "on-again, off-again" relationship with Richard Wilkins, with whom she had a child Estella in 2004. While fashion designing is a big part in her life, now Estella is an even bigger part. Collette designs for all ages, infants to bridal wear.

She is related to the Irish former Gaelic footballer Rory Dinnigan who played for the Naomh Mearnog Junior football team.

Collette's bridal wear is the most famous, which has featured in Vogue Magazine. Her evening wear is also quite popular in Australia.
