Indigenous Runway Project Program

Indigenous Runway Project (IRP) sponsorship offers direct engagement with emerging Indigenous designers and models, including private meet-and-greet opportunities and behind-the-scenes access to the IRP cohort.

The Indigenous Runway Project empowers Indigenous people through fashion, culture, and creative expression,  and to date has supported more than 2,000 participants. Delivered as part of the festival, it provides hands-on training, mentoring, and real industry experience, helping participants build confidence and meaningful pathways into the creative industries.

Sponsors are acknowledged within key Festival environments, including the Gala Dinner and Awards Night, recognising their support of the IRP development program.

Brand visibility is delivered through featured placement in print and digital programs, on-screen branding during the Global Indigenous Runway, and recognition through the IRP Honour Roll on the Festival website.
