First Nations Fashion:
Walking In Two Worlds
Direct from Australian Fashion Week to you - the runway event of the year.
Brisbane Festival and Screen Queensland present
Bringing together a selection of contemporary garments and textiles by First Nations designers, multicultural Australian artist, Grace Lillian Lee, has created a literal platform in way of a runway for cultural celebration.
Involving designers from across Australia and 20 local models, First Nations Fashion: Walking In Two Worlds is an exemplary showcasing of Indigenous fashion, dance, film and live music from hip hop artist Kaylah Truth.
Transporting audiences between two worlds, this is a fashion show like no other.

In these clothes, fashion reminds us of its potency to express identity, to challenge existing power structures and accepted histories, and to reshape the idea the world has of Australian fashion: It is more than summer clothing and dependable ease.
