Indigenous Literacy Lights Up

 

It is an exciting time for Indigenous Fashion in Australia. The first Indigenous Fashion Week is being held in April next year and Indigenous Fashion Unearthed continues to gain momentum! This month, O’Shirt supports the trend by releasing a limited edition tee in aid of Indigenous Literacy. Internationally-acclaimed Aboriginal artist Bronwyn Bancroft teamed up with O’Shirt to design the tee, inspired by the idea that when ‘one door closes, another one opens.’ Each fortnight, O’Shirt support charities through the sale of limited edition tees, working with a range of designers for a range of causes. A minimum of $7 from every shirt sold goes towards the charity of choice. The proceeds from this design will support the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, which works to provide access to books and literacy resources to over 200 remote Indigenous communities.
