The First Nations fashion labels you should have on your radar.

Brodie George, like many First Nations women, felt the pressure to cover up until she delved into the real reasons behind.

In this weeks episode, the Walmajarri woman from Fitzroy Crossing and fashion designer, tells host Leigh Campbell how starting her own swim wear brand, Jalayimiya Swim has contributed to her own body-positivity and opened up a bigger cultural conversation.

Her label, inspired by landscapes and natural colours, has gone from strength to strength,  with her designs set to hit the runway at New York Fashion Week! And she's just launched a brand new launched NAIDOC collection.
