WHERE | Room 106, Level 1, LCI Melbourne, 150 Oxford St, Collingwood VIC 3066, Australia








BACKGROUND INFORMATION


Australia's fashion industry generates $25 billion per year. There are growing opportunities to develop the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Indigenous fashion design, as well as the need to inform and support regional and remote community art and Art Centres. Many opportunities also exist to provide Indigenous artists and fashion designers with the training and skills to develop their art and products, and gain broader access to new markets.


This series of workshops will investigate the current landscape of the global First Nations fashion industry and deeply consult with remote community Art Centres, Indigenous designers, and Australian fashion industry stakeholders.


AFC and DAAFF will work in partnership, supported by a working group of industry representatives, to create a strategic plan for an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owned and governed fashion business organisation. It will identify opportunities to support the sector, and pilot fashion projects that focus on ways to increase quality, expand reach and ensure best practice in business and production for the Indigenous fashion sector and collaborators.
