Colleen takes Aboriginal fashion to market with help of UNE SMART Region Incubator

Aboriginal designer Colleen Tighe-Johnson is a recent recruit to the University of New England’s SMART Region Incubator, which is a member of the Jobs for NSW Local Innovation Network, and has quickly realised its potential to grow her fashion business internationally.

Ms Tighe-Johnson, based in Tamworth, is the founder of Buluuy Mirrii Designs which showcases Indigenous creativity by harnessing the spirit of the ‘Gomeroi Dreaming’ on haute couture international runways.
