DALUK x Country to Couture

Babbarra Women’s Centre presented a special collection, designed and sewn by our Young Daluk designers and our supportive friends Raw Cloth Darwin and The Social Studio - DALUK x Country to Couture 2023.

‘Daluk’ is the Kuninjku word for women. This collection is a celebration of the relationship between older and younger generations of Bábbarra women. It highlights the on-going tradition of intergenerational mentoring from mothers to daughters and grandmothers to granddaughters. 

This collection has come to life by the creative hands and minds of many women. A huge thank you to the entire team of designers who put in an enormous amount of work to make this happen. We are so proud and could not be happier with how the collection has come together. 

A massive thank you and congratulations to the Indigenous Fashion Projects & Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair team for delivering such an incredible showcase and celebration of First Nations fashion and textiles from across Australia. 
We dedicate this collection to the founding and emerging women of Bábbarra Women’s Centre. 
We want to acknowledge the many hands that came together to make this collection possible including the auspice and support of Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation as well as the funding from Stronger Communities for Children and NT Government and Raw Cloth.
