A group of Indigenous designers and models hold fashion shows across a series of European cities, with the audience in Brussels including policymakers from the United Nations and the European Union.
Members of an all-Aboriginal group of fashion creatives say a series of shows in Europe became an empowering — and sometimes confronting — opportunity to rectify foreign misconceptions about First Nations and Australian history.
Model Shannon McGuire said it soon became clear their impact would go beyond promoting fashion industry talent. Ms McGuire was among the models who appeared in a catwalk show at the Brussels Art and History Museum as part of an exhibition of Aboriginal art called Before Time Began. Managing director of fashion label Kirrikin and tour organiser Amanda Healy said there were influential people watching the show.
