This Ronney shirt is printed with Hayley Dodd's design, which depicts her grandmother's Country - Dalhousie Hot Springs in Witjira NP, an oasis at the edge of the Simpson Desert in South Australia. Her grandmother was born there. The blue in the painting refers to the abundance of water at this place.
Hayley grew up in Eastern Arrernte Country and attended Yirrara College in Alice Springs. In 2023 she made history at Afterpay Australian Fashion Week as the sole artist, designer and model on the runway wearing her own creation.
We pass through this place every time we visit family and we stop and enjoy the beautiful water.
A short-sleeved button-up with an open collar and relaxed fit. Wear it with chinos or dress pants for a sharper look, or with jeans and shorts for something easier.
Hand-screen printed in Australia. This is not fashion inspired by Aboriginal art. This is Aboriginal art, worn.
Every purchase from Ikuntji Artists goes directly back to the artist and the community of Haasts Bluff. Ikuntji Artists Aboriginal Corporation is 100% Aboriginal owned and governed - the first art centre in the Western Desert founded by women, for women, in 1992.
