Jakarta: Indigenous Australian designs on the runway at Jakarta Fashion Week Melbourne-based designer Denni Francisco’s latest collection from sustainable fashion label Ngali took centre stage at an Australian Fashion Showcase during Jakarta Fashion Week in October. Through its contemporary collaborations with Indigenous Australian artists, Ngali brought Australian First Nations art to the world stage through the medium of clothing and textiles. This is the fifth year an Australian designer has featured at Jakarta Fashion Week, highlighting the strong links between our creative sectors. The fashion and textiles industries are critical to Australia’s and Indonesia’s economies. During the fashion week, Denni Francisco also led
masterclasses with fashion and design students in partnership with the Jakarta Fashion Hub and BINUS Northumbria School of Design.
