Indigenous Runway Project
The Indigenous Runway Project originally known by other names such as Indigenous Talent Unearthed, Indigenous Fashion Unearthed had emerged from a makeup workshop for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. There was a growing need to empower Indigenous young people with confidence, motivation and pride so that they are able to embrace their hidden beauty and talent and explore career pathways in various areas of fashion, modelling, fashion design, performing arts, production, hair and makeup and styling.
From a small group of volunteers to a large team of Aboriginal and fashion experts; the Indigenous Runway Project continues to provide a mentoring model that responds to community needs and develops leadership capacity providing structured support to help Indigenous young people to define their own careers in the fashion industry.
To date, Indigenous Runway Project has reached other global Indigenous communities such as New Zealand, Arizona, Canada and Africa. Since 2012 we have received over 1500 expressions of interest, inspiring hundreds of established and emerging Indigenous fashion talent and designers. In 2014, the world’s first Global Indigenous Management (GIM) arose from the project providing a sustainable solution for its unfunded Project and a platform for Indigenous young people across the globe to help showcase their fashion, talent, beauty, creative and artistic skills to the world.
