David Jones Indigenous Fashion Projects Runway Show

May 16 @ 8:30 pm - 9:30 pm AEST

Indigenous Fashion Projects (IFP) and David Jones welcome the return of the IFP Pathways Program for 2024, nurturing and overseeing the designs of seven First Nations creatives, with five showcasing at Australian Fashion Week.

The IFP Pathways Program is a two-year fashion label development program that aims to empower and support the growth of First Nations designers through workshops and mentorship with David Jones and established Australian designers.

Now in their second year of mentorship, this year’s presenting cohort includes GALI Swimwear, Ihraa Swim, JOSEPH & JAMES, Lazy Girl Lingerie and Miimi & Jiinda. Together on Gadigal Country, these designers will weave stories of legacy, matriarchy, honour, connection, arrival and Country.

Join us for this ceremony, held by deep stories of Country, the beauty of vivid blue skies and waters, and the memory of everything that has gone before.
