Mimu Maxi (styled MIMU MAXI) is a women's fashion company based in New York City. The company was founded in 2014 by ChabadHasidic women Mushky Notik and Mimi Hecht.[1]
The brand gained attention for their attempt at mediating between contemporary fashion trends and the moral codes of Orthodox Judaism which legislates various modesty requirements for Jewish women.[2][3] In 2014, the brand founders collaborated with a Muslim fashion blogger causing some debate in the Orthodox community.[4][5][6]
