Design Within Country is a fashion design collaboration project with Marnin Studio and the Earthed Foundation. It connects young people of Fitzroy Crossing with city-based creatives and mentors on country to create a fashion collection.

The project focuses on sharing passion and knowledge based on a common interest within differing cultural landscapes. It is a productive and inspiring space that focuses on developing concepts to create viable products for commercial markets as well as supporting the creation of social business projects within the communities.

Design Within Country is excited to be part of the Melbourne Fashion Festivals 2020 Independent Runway Program showcasing their collections and stories at Blak Dot Gallery in Brunswick. 

Design Within Country Designers: Lee-Anne Williams, Lillian Spinks, Joycelyn McCarthy, Amber McCarthy, Lauren McCarthy, and Amanda Smith.
