2024 in Review

Indigenous Fashion Projects (IFP) is a grassroots community of change makers, building sustainable fashion futures that centre and empower the agency of First Nations voices.

Together we celebrate and continue to shape a legacy that we can all be proud of, of ancient cultures and contemporary expression.

A small but mighty team, with the support of our community of stakeholders and partners, we’re proud to reflect on another epic year of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fashion, textiles, community and culture.
