Whats the aim of the event?
- To bring together local designers who produce high quality products and that have an individual style that will appeal to the fashionistas of Canberra. Guests will be invited and will include clients and customers of designers as well as high profile guests. A percentage of the profit will go towards a charity called the Kuya Collaborative.

What is the Kuya Collaborative?
- The Kuya Collaborative aims to provide life skills to poverty stricken community members in Manila, through facilitated training programs. Training programs are developed and supported by Enactus University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) students, for the Kuya Centre for Street Children (KCSC) in Manila, Philippines.

- In January 2012, the Kuya Collaborative implemented the first series of training with the implementation of a sewing skills program allowing participants at the KCSC to learn how to make basic items including: bags, phone cases and clothing. These skills empowered the participants to create an income for themselves and become part of society again.

- In July 2013, the Kuya Collaborative brought hairdressing and English teaching skills to the KCSC. After completing the sewing program it was identified that these skills are highly sought after and would give individuals faced with poverty the chance to re-enter the community and provide for their families. In 2014 we strengthened both our hairdressing and sewing programs and saw 50 students qualify in both programs.
