Country Road s Elle Roseby: We can t wait to hear them 20 January 2021
Country Road has partnered with Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation (DAAFF) in support of an Indigenous design showcase.
The Country To Couture program will be broadcast on the NITV Facebook page when it launches on January 22.
Country Road s support follows a similar partnership with DAAFF’s National Indigenous Fashion Awards in August 2020.
Country to Couture will bring its runway to screens from 7pm AEST via the NITV Facebook page and will also be re-broadcasted to the Indigenous Fashion Projects Facebook page.
A popular staple on the Darwin calendar, Country to Couture has been a key attraction, alongside the annual Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair since 2016.

Stephen Page, artistic director of Bangarra Dance Theatre, descendent of the Nunukul people and the Munaldjali clan of the Yugambeh Nation, and lifelong storyteller, is sitting on the headland at Barangaroo Reserve. Behind him, stage technicians are resetting Sydney Festival s open air stage, accompanied by the one TWO, one TWO of a soundcheck. In front of him, the harbour. Down here at Barangaroo you just sit here in the reserve by the water, and you look out at Goat Island, which is the island that Barangaroo and Bennelong were married on, Page says. You start to think about these public spaces and how we can reclaim them from a black perspective, allowing this consciousness for the future, to be fed to the next generation.
