00:01I am backstage at Country to Couture where the nerves, the excitement, the anticipation are all building ahead of tonight's
00:10show.
00:10Now since 2016 this runway has featured innovative designs from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and designers from right
00:19across Australia.
00:21Tonight's show is going to feature 11 meticulously crafted collections all to the theme of Carried By Our Matriarchs.
00:29It's celebration and honouring of the knowledge, stories and voices of women.
00:34Tomorrow night audiences will be treated to 10 entirely different collections all to the theme of imprints and memory.
00:41Now many of the designers we've spoken to have had their looks featured at New York Fashion Week, Sydney Fashion
00:46Week
00:47but they say this event tops them all because not only does it showcase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander design
00:53but it also helps to preserve culture, language and pass down stories to younger generations.
