'Fashion is a common denominator among all cultures -and a catalyst for social cohesion'

Fashions of Multicultural Australia (FOMA) is a first-ever national initiative
that will integrate cultures and foster social cohesion
through the universally binding industry that is fashion.
A colourful, exuberant and visually stunning fashion parade will be held at Nanda/Hobbs Contemporary Gallery in Sydney on March 10th 2018.

The initiative will provide a platform for Indigenous, CALD ( Culturally and linguistically diverse) and refugee designers and trendsetters from across the globe.
Additionally, FOMA will foster deeper cultural understanding within communities and promote cross-cultural artistry.
I have always believed fashion (and food) to be unifiers in our complicated and divisive world.
Fashion is a visual form of storytelling.
Fashion tells us about the designer, about the wearer, about the times in which a garment was worn, where and why. It opens a window to social, cultural, fashion, women and men's histories.
Fashion is fabulous!
I am proud to join Anupam, Julie and Monika as an inaugural Ambassador
of this incredible fashion and cultural initiative.
