During London Fashion Week, Australia's High Commission has been transformed into an international runway showcasing Indigenous designers. It's the first time a show dedicated exclusively to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander designers has been held at Australia House.
Australia House is the place where Australians in London come to renew passports and vote in elections.
Since 2022, the Kirrikin Foundation has collaborated with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to make Indigenous fashion brands more commercially viable. Guests at the show included designers, influencers, a writer from British Vogue - and even a representative from Buckingham Palace."It was one of the most amazing experiences I've had in my modelling career. Which is a really long time now - I won't give away my age - but it's been, you know, a couple of decades maybe. That was amazing. To have international models on the catwalk, wearing Indigenous designs, was something really, really special.
