Made by Natisha Tabua (Kulkalgal, Masig Island) and hand-painted by Lucas Schober from Musu Musu Arts (Wuthathi, Yadheigana, Kaurareg and Yindjibarndi) with an incredible 12-metre crocodile in tribute to his grandmother, Nora, this dress draws attention to the climate crisis affecting the Torres Strait Islands. With the words ‘our oceans are rising and so are we’ painted on the train - it’s a call to action for all people to take action. 

Worn on runway by Sené Maluwapi Model/Climate Advocate (Samu, Gaidai).
