The CIAF Fashion Performance brings together contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fine art with high end fashion through two breathtaking catwalk performances. This spectacular and visually arresting wearable art display culminates in a seamless fusion of groundbreaking fashion, modelling, design, and performance.

The 2025 theme of 'Look & Listen' is a celebration of First Nations culture, strengthening cultural connection to Country and family, showcasing a representation of who they are and where they come from.

This year, the Fashion Performance will be presented in two distinct shows, each exploring a unique theme. The first, 'Look' and the second 'Listen'.

PERFORMANCE 1: 'LOOK'

This performance will explore the concept of 'Look' inviting audiences to gaze upon the bold artistry of six highly anticipated designers and their distinctive visions: Irene Robinson&Darlene Fell, Guest Collaboration & Delvene Cockatoo-Collins, Robert Tommy Pau, Kuku Bulkaway & Yuku Baja Muliku Artists, Sandra & Shara Delaney, and Felicity Chapman.

PERFORMANCE 2: 'LISTEN'

This performance explores the concept of 'Listen' inviting audiences to connect with the stories and inspirations woven into each garment. Prepare to be captivated by the narrative threads that bind together the collections of six highly anticipated designers – Delvene Cockatoo-Collins, Girringun Aboriginal Art Centre, TAFE Cultural Arts, Wudan (Amy) Neal, Skye Lockyer & Katelyn Hamilton, and Lisa Lui.
