Having an Indigenous fashion presence during the European Fashion Month calendar is the next big step in terms of representation.
Compared to showcasing their new collections on the Milanese runways, Paul says there’s a certain power in going the trade show route. “There’s more time to build relationships,” says Paul. “Doing a show is a huge amount of work and it’s a huge expense; At trade shows, people are there specifically to buy.” Paul hopes to foster the designers in more of a business sense, giving them an opportunity to network and sell their work to prospective new clients.
In tandem with the White Milano showcase, Paul and the designers will also be engaging in a special panel discussion at the event. They hope to educate buyers and attendees about Indigenous fashion, and to introduce them to some of the core design values within the community . “They don’t know much about our communities [in Europe],” says Paul, “so there’s a lot of education to be done around understanding what fashion is from Indigenous communities, and how to work with Indigenous people.
