MBFWA 2013: Roopa Pemmaraju

What everyone was talking about:  Royalties from the sale of each garment are returned to artists’ communities. The importance of ethical trade and loving a grassroots collaboration.

The Collection: A collaboration of fashion and art that features authentic fabric designs created by renowned Australian women indigenous artists from the Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation. Tribal vibes, striking patterns with a quintessential Australian feel.

Addicted to: Ancient ways of life represented on today’s runway. The vibrant colours of Australia’s landscape – green plant life, red sand, spring wildflowers, wild bush berries and fruits, the deep blues and reds of rock formations and the vibrant desert sky.
