Walung Linen Column Dress
One of five ever made. A celebration of contemporary First Nations design, the Walung Linen Column Dress brings together cultural storytelling, craftsmanship, and timeless design.
Crafted from 100% heavyweight premium linen, this strapless midi length column silhouette with princess seams is designed to sculpt the body while maintaining comfort and ease. The clean lines are complemented by an invisible back zip and centre back split, creating a refined finish that moves effortlessly between occasion and everyday wear.
The Walung print documents stone flake lithics recorded during the mapping and protection of cultural heritage sites on Wiradjuri Country. Drawn from field documentation and cultural heritage practice, the artwork reflects the enduring presence of ancestral knowledge held within the landscape. The layered lines and fractured forms reference the surfaces and edges of stone tools, speaking to generations of making, movement, innovation, and connection to Country.
More than a print, Walung is an act of remembrance and protection. It honours the cultural materials, stories, and places that continue to shape Wiradjuri identity while reinforcing the importance of safeguarding cultural heritage for future generations.
Hand printed on Gadigal Country and carefully designed and constructed on Wiradjuri Country, each garment embodies a commitment to cultural integrity, ethical production, and First Nations sovereignty in fashion.
