First Nations Fashion Show wows audiences during London Fashion Week

A series of Australian designers have showcased their latest looks during London Fashion Week overnight.

Marking a first at Australia House, there were a combination of traditional and contemporary looks by Indigenous designers that made their way down the catwalk.

The First Nations Fashion Show was a colourful collection that showcased six brands to a packed crowd of British buyers and journalists.

The historic catwalk included First Nations fashion designers and models with labels on display including: Kirrikin, Liandra, MAARA Collective, Ngali, Kamara and Mimi & Jiinda.

"We are very excited to be presenting a group of six designers with commercially ready products to the London audience," Kirrikin founder Amanda Healy told National Indigenous Times ahead of Tuesday's show.

"If Kylie Minogue can do it, so can we."

Ahead of the fashions hitting the runway, there was a digeridoo player and traditional dance performance on stage.

There was also an art exhibition to complement the Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander fashion show, which was designed to coincide with London Fashion Week for maximum impact.

It expands on the new Australia-UK Free Trade Agreement, which provides royalties to Australian artists, including First Nations artists, when their original works of art are resold in the UK.

While many of the brands already sell online in the UK, they're hoping the fashion show propels them to news heights... and maybe even some British department stores.
