NIFA 2026 Winners

Indigenous Fashion Projects (IFP) are proud to announce the seven recipients of this year’s prestigious National Indigenous Fashion Awards (NIFA).

The Community Behind Country to Couture

Country to Couture is more than a runway. It’s a community grounded in Country, where artists, designers, models, producers, volunteers and creatives come together to celebrate First Nations fashion and grow something bigger than a single event.

The People of Indigenous Fashion Projects

Indigenous Fashion Projects is about far more than programs. It is about people.
Designers and artists. Elders and Knowledge Holders. Art Centres and communities. Models, mentors, educators, researchers, creative partners and volunteers. Alongside them is a small team whose role is to listen, connect people and help ideas grow into opportunities.
