PSA: there's a runway show coming to Darwin that you don't want to miss.
On Tuesday August 2, 2022, 18 First Nations fashion designers will showcase their collections in Country to Couture, an innovative runway show celebrating the collision of Indigenous art and fashion.
Think models dressed in wearable art - how cool.
The annual event, which spans across two evening shows during Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair, features leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander designers and unique collaborations between Indigenous communities and some of our favourite Australian labels. And the best part? The show is open to everyone.
