Description

This funky piece of wearable art is part of our collaboration with Publisher Textiles. Each shirt is hand screen-printed and made in Sydney, Australia!

Timeless and stylish, just like its name sake Audrey Hepburn. This simple box cut top features short sleeves, a flattering rounded neck, and a long waistline.

This versatile top transitions from the office into the evening, perfect paired with a fitted pencil skirt or classic black trousers.

Featuring design by artist Rosearanna Larry:

This design by Alison Napurrula Multa shows ‘Kungkaku Puturru’ – the hairstring women make from their own hair for ceremony. In the older days, women used to cut their own hair and create this string by spinning the hair on their thighs. The hairstring was used for dancing, ceremony and domestic purposes. Kungkaku puturru is connected to the Tjukurrpa place Kungkayunti (Brown’s Bore). Kungkayunti is the place where the ancestral women, who travelled from Ntaria (Hermannsburg) to the west of Kintore, stopped and danced. Kungkayunti means women dancing.

This fabric has been screen printed by hand by Published Textiles and Papers, ensuring the highest quality and longevity.
