Angela pants, Yultukunpa, red, white, and green on green.

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

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.

Ingrid top, Ininti at Muruntji, orange, cream on navy jersey. Virgillia Multa

Designed with comfort in mind this loose fit t-shirt features three quarter length bat-wing sleeves and long waistline. Perfect with jeans or shorts, comfortable and stylish enough for everyday wear.

This design depicts the bush seeds that come from the ininti tree (batwinged coral tree).  The tree is native to the Western Desert of Central Australia, growing in sand around creek beds. The ininti grow abundantly in Muruntji country where the artist has spent much time collecting the seeds. Muruntji is west of Kungkayunti (Browns Bore), the outstation where the artist’s family is from. Both Patricia Multa, and her daughter Virgillia Multa paint the ininti at Muruntji, expressing the colours and movement of the ininti tree and its seeds and flowers throughout the seasons. Patricia remembers collecting the seeds when she was a child and making them into necklaces. The seeds can be found in the sand, or inside the pods still on the trees. The seeds naturally grow in varying colours from dark reds to light yellows. The flowers are equally vibrant, ranging from rich oranges into reds. Ininti are still collected today and made into jewellery at Ikuntji Artists.

Sisters at Watarru in Greys on Grey, Marsha Pants, Noreen Dixon

In this design, Noreen Dixon depicts the story of two female ancestors, sisters, in the Watarru area in South Australia.
These sisters are fleeing a man who is pursuing them, hiding in rockholes and caves amid the sandy desert plains. The hypnotising background patterns of lines and dots represent the vast sands of the desert. The younger sister is pregnant; this is indicated by the large symbol of concentric circles,
which is the design painted onto pregnant women’s bellies for ceremony. The motif of two smaller circles connected by strong lines represents the body paint of the older sister, whose chest would be painted with this design. The oldest sister is caring for her younger sister and helping to keep them hidden from the man pursuing them.
