Focusing on the themes of self-determination in action and Blak voices through fashion, this Pop Up runway will showcase a diverse selection of established and emerging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander brands. All telling a story of First Nations people’s continuing connection to the land and waterways.
This pop up draws on the theme of how fashion can frame our mindset and sets to prove that we can dress for happiness by using clothing to lift our mood. Celebrating a new season, the joy of fashion and Melbourne’s diverse community, watch on as looks from local favourites including Hew, Erik Yvon and Gun Shy move through the city’s dining precincts.
