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 Lisa Multa:

This design by Lisa Multa depicts the birds eye view of the tali tali (sandhills) at Kungkayunti (Brown’s Bore). This is the country of Joe Tjakamarra Multa, the father of Douglas Multa, Agnes Multa, Lisa Multa, Alison Multa, Rephina Multa, Benita Multa and Patricia Multa and the grandfather to their children. The tali tali are a short walk from where the family lived and the children of Joe grew up.

Lisa remembers walking up the tali tali with her sister, Agnes Multa, who was the same age as her. When Lisa got married she brought her partner to see those tali tali. From the tali tali, a 360-degree view can be seen of the surrounding country. The area is abundant with bush tucker, especially bush tomatoes and bush banana.

Kungkayunti is an important place for the travelling Tjukurrpa of the ancestral Arrernte women who travelled 600 kms from Ntaria (Hermannsburg) to Kintore, past Kulpitarra (Outstation) to attend to women’s business. Kungkayunti is the place where the women first camped. On their long journey, the women stopped at Kunkayunti (Brown’s Bore) to camp, rest, eat and dance. When the women reached their destination, they danced, shared their stories and renewed their law. Those women turned into stone and can be seen today. Annual events continue today to strengthen this Tjukurrpa.

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