We help nurture Australia's next generation of fashion designers and creatives from refugee, asylum seeking and culturally diverse backgrounds.
About the studio
School
Our free, accredited fashion school equips refugee and migrant creatives with new and practical skills.
Retail
We work with deadstock fabrics to create garments that last, and sell work by our students and other culturally diverse makers.
Manufacturing
All our production services are ethical, low-MOQ (minimum order quantity) and direct from our Collingwood studio.
Mend
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. We transform and mend well-loved clothes to continue their story.
