About
Ngali is a multi-award-winning fashion brand dedicated to quality, sustainability, and storytelling. We collaborate with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to translate breathtaking works of art into premium garments and collectibles, extending their beauty beyond gallery walls and into everyday life.
‘Ngali’ translates to ‘we’ or ‘us’ in several Aboriginal languages. Through our brand, we are shaping the ‘us’ we wish to see: a world where fashion is a bridge between people, culture, and Country—harmonious, sustainable, and connected.
Our Process
Thoughtful Design, Timeless Wear
At Ngali, every piece begins with intention. Before a sketch is made or a stitch is sewn, we ask:
- Does the silhouette honour the artwork?
- Is it created with sustainability at its heart?
- Will it feel effortless and comfortable to wear?
- Can it be styled with sneakers, boots, or heels?
- Will it move with you—from lunch to a walk on Country, from a meeting to a moment of stillness? Will it take you across landscapes and time zones, becoming a trusted travel companion?
Ngali garments are designed for life. Each piece is made to journey with you—versatile, elegant, and enduring. We embrace the principles of slow fashion, crafting timeless designs that transcend seasons and trends. Our collections are grounded in quality, longevity, and respect—for the wearer, the artwork, and the land.
Ngali is more than fashion. It’s a story woven into every thread—a living expression of culture, connection, and care, made to be seen, shared, and worn every day.
The Purpose Behind Ngali
"Creating Ngali has been a journey grounded in culture, reflection, and deep purpose.
As a Wiradjuri woman, I asked myself from the beginning: How can fashion become a platform to share our stories with the world? How can it inspire more conscious ways of seeing—of consuming, of respecting Country, of celebrating First Nations creativity in all its forms?
Ngali is guided by Yindayamarra—a Wiradjuri philosophy that embodies respect, thoughtfulness, and gentle care. This principle is woven through everything we do.
Every garment is created with deep respect for community and the First Nations artists and creatives we proudly walk alongside. Through each piece, we honour culture, celebrate artistry, and pay respect to the land that sustains us.
Ngali is more than a label. It is a living story—of who we are, where we come from, and how we move forward together." Denni Francisco
