Our favourite time of year is just around the corner, and we’re calling out to our community to once again be part of our August events!
We have two ways to get involved – with a Model call out for the iconic Country to Couture runway, and a Volunteer call out to work across all three events: Country to Couture, the National Indigenous Fashion Awards, and the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair. Each year our community of models and volunteers are a key part of the DAAF Foundation family – we simply couldn’t conduct our events without you.
No experience is necessary, so if you are interested – or know someone who may be keen, please apply and share the news!
