Get to know the Rise and Bloom range.
Come behind the scenes with us as we walk you through how our one of a kind collaboration with First Nations artist Daisy in Dots came to life.
When proud Muruwari woman and Aboriginal artist Daisy Hill and Tara first crossed paths, it sparked a conversation about art, fashion, and creating space for women to feel seen. That conversation became Rise and Bloom, a 7 piece collection we’re launching for NAIDOC Week 2025, a time to honour the strength, legacy and voices of First Nations communities.
What the range means to Tara.
“Daisy’s work is rich in meaning and spirit, and turning that into something women can wear and feel connected to has been an incredible experience for myself and the team at Proud Poppy. This range is about visibility, unity, and the power of women lifting each other up.” - Tara McKeon.
About Daisy’s art.
At the heart of the collection is Daisy’s original artwork: feminine, detailed and full of love.
“This artwork embodies the spirit of unity, diversity, and the intrinsic bond between women and nature. It tells a story of women from various walks of life coming together, supporting one another and rising collectively in a world that often tries to hold them down. ‘Rise and Bloom’ honours Mother Nature, acknowledging her as the ultimate creator and nurturer.”
The artwork’s title, ‘Rise and Bloom’ calls for action - reminding women of their potential to overcome and thrive. It’s an affirmation of hope, resilience and strength. A Proud Poppy x Daisy in Dots Collaboration. The Rise and Bloom collection is ally-friendly and has been designed for everyone to enjoy.” - Daisy Hill.
