The Global Indigenous Fashion Festival is a global celebration of Indigenous creativity, culture, and fashion. This year, the festival will feature International Spotlight Runways, showcasing designers from Indigenous nations around the world.

Designers will be placed under the country of their choice, with collections presented as part of their national spotlight runway. All designs will be judged on creativity, cultural expression, craftsmanship, and innovation, with awards presented at the Gala Awards Night for Best Design and category-specific honours. Depending on entry numbers, some countries may be combined into shared spotlight runways.

Beyond the runway, the festival uniquely connects fashion with trade. Designers will have the opportunity to market their products, engage with buyers, and connect directly with suppliers and manufacturers, supporting both creative growth and commercial pathways.

This festival is more than a showcase, it is a platform for Indigenous designers to be seen, celebrated, and supported on a global stage.
