Dalhousie Hot Springs – Angela Pants

This funky piece of wearable art is part of our collaboration with Publisher Textiles. Each pair is printed and made in Australia!

From the makers “These wide legged pants are the most fun pants to wear. Inspired by 1940’s stars Lauren Bacall, Katherine Hepburn, and Marlene Dietrich, they have a chic flow to them and are so comfortable. Featuring belt loops, a front zipper fly and button fastener and deep side pockets, they are made from a lightweight cotton linen blend. Balance out the wide leg silhouette with a simple fit and flare top or play with a more dramatic silhouette by pairing them with a voluminous blouse for a Lauren Bacall look.

Biography:

Hayley Dodd is an Indigenous artist, designer, and model from Geraldton, Western Australia. Her upbringing deeply connects her to her cultural heritage. From the age of five, she lived with her mother's family in Eastern Arrernte Country, specifically between Finke, Oodnadatta, and Titjikala. Her grandmother, a Yangkuntjara woman, instilled in her a strong connection to her language and culture. 

Hayley's education included boarding school at Yirrara College in Alice Springs, where she met her husband, Isiah Jugadai. She has worked in the Titjikala store and currently works in Aged Care in Ikuntji. Inspired by her grandmother's stories and paintings, Hayley also paints her grandmother's Country. She also served as a director of Ikuntji Artists from 2022 to 2023.

Hayley's career as a model began in June 2023 at the Afterpay Australian Fashion Week in Sydney, where she made history. She was the sole artist, designer, and model on the runway wearing her own creation – a stunning gown of her own design. This groundbreaking achievement launched her into the fashion world.

Since then, Hayley's modeling career has flourished. In 2023, she walked the runway for Country to Couture in Darwin (August) and Melbourne Fashion Week (October). In 2024, she participated in a professional photoshoot showcasing the new Ikuntji collection at Publisher Textiles and again modeled at the Country to Couture runway show in August.

Prior to her runway success, Hayley was selected for a modeling training program led by Elaine George, the first Indigenous model to grace the cover of Vogue (1992). This program, designed specifically for models from remote communities, provided valuable insights into the industry and career pathways.

Hayley Dodd has become a trailblazer, inspiring other Indigenous models and community members to embrace visibility and representation. She serves as a powerful role model, demonstrating the potential for Indigenous artists and creatives to achieve success on a national and international stage.
