Abstract:

The ABC’s series The Way We Wore takes a look at stories of Australian fashion design and style. Yet, left out from the show was the rich backstory of our First Nations fashion design industry. Prior to Parisian fashion shows, First Nations people showcased handmade clothing and accessories at 1800s international and national exhibitions, often as unpaid labour. Earlier still, the making and crafting of animal and plant cloaks, skirts, belts, shoes and accessories were the original fashion designs.
