Fashion aficionados: the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair’s runway show, featuring Indigenous designer threads, is going down next week.

Fashion aficionados: if you’re in the Darwin area (or rather fancy heading out that way), you’d be well advised to get your thread-loving self to the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair’s runway show, From Country to Couture, showcasing the eye-popping sartorial works of Indigenous designers. Should you attend, you’ll also get to witness Magnolia Maymuru (the first Indigenous Miss World Australia finalist) adorned in said threads, nibble on some tasty treats, and grab a refreshing beverage, too. Oh, and all proceeds from the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair will go back into Indigenous communities. Nice, eh? It’s all happening Wednesday August 9th at 7.30pm at SKYCITY Darwin (Beachside Pavilion). Tickets are available here.
