Presented by Indigenous Fashion Projects, a program of the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation

National Indigenous Fashion Awards (NIFA) celebrate the innovation, diversity and ethical practices of Australia’s First Nations peoples in fashion and textiles.

Recognising and showcasing excellence across six categories, the award ceremony is a unique opportunity for the Australian and international fashion community to connect to the world’s oldest living cultures.

The prestigious awards recognise excellence across several areas including Traditional Adornment, Community Collaboration, Business Achievement, Textile Design, Wearable Art, and the Fashion Designer Award. NIFA is also an important event that contributes to the capacity building of the First Nations fashion sector.
