In the remote region of the Kimberley, KAFTA is more than a fashion show, as the impact of Indigenous fashion unlocks the freedom of expression for intergenerational talent. One of the visionaries of the Kimberley Aboriginal Fashion Textiles and Art, Rhiana Powers, sits down with Jordin Payne, to celebrate fashion that fuels the future and nurtures the spirit of Aboriginal communities across the region. #KimberleyFashion #IndigenousFashion #KAFTA #Aboriginal @kafta_kimberley_fashion

Moments like this remind me that you don't have to be in one of the world's fashion capitals to build something with global reach. Seeing @official_liandra represented in Atlanta while I'm back in Darwin is a pretty special feeling. The Atlanta Market is one of the largest wholesale trade events in the United States, connecting thousands of retailers, buyers and brands from across the world. To have LIANDRA represented there is a milestone I don't take for granted. Building a fashion brand from the Top End has never been the conventional path, but it's proof that with the right vision, strong relationships and persistence, opportunities can extend far beyond where you're based. The past few months have already brought some exciting milestones, including securing our first US stockist and I'm looking forward to seeing where this next chapter takes us. A huge thank you to @libraryofgoods.co for helping guide this next phase and to our US wholesale partner @madisonshowroomatl for representing LIANDRA so beautifully as we continue to grow our presence in the United States.

Congratulations to Harriet Mills (@salan_arts), recipient of the inaugural 2026 CATAPULT Professional Development Award ($10,000), proudly supported by @cairnscouncil. At just 19 years old, Harriet is already establishing herself as one of Queensland's most exciting emerging First Nations artists. With connections to Naghigal, Kulkalgal and Badhugal, her intricate ink-on-paper works draw from the visual language of Zenadth Kes printmaking traditions, exploring identity, genealogy and cultural continuity through a deeply personal lens. Following an outstanding CIAF, where her entire booth sold out, this inaugural award recognises Harriet's remarkable artistic talent and supports the continued development of her practice through professional development, mentorship and new opportunities. Huge congratulations, Harriet! We can't wait to see where your creative journey leads next. Discover all the 2026 CIAF Award recipients at ciaf.com.au. Images: 1. Harriet Mills, 2026, Ink on Paper.
