The NAGNATA ‘RETURN TO EARTH’ RUNWAY at AFC Australian Fashion Week 2025.

Music design inspired by the Earth’s inaudible vibration in the key of G major, inviting you into an altered state—where natural frequencies form circular patterns that echo the rhythms of life and the layered textures of the Movement 18 collection.

‘Return To Earth.’ A short film exploring the end-of-life cycle of Nagnata vegetable dyed denim. A meditative reflection on our relationship with the Earth

Original score by Gary Sinclair built to transport you into an altered state of awareness. Circular patterns and layered harmonics mirror the rhythm and repetition of natural cycles. Drawing from the Earth’s natural frequency in G major, a vibration too low for the human ear to detect, transposing upper harmonics into tones that can be felt as much as heard.

A Nagnata film on loom with Women Weave. 

In the decade that passed, movement travelled from the artisan’s fingertips to the science of fabric. It coursed through consciousness and lent mobility to the physical form.

Nagnata collaborated with Women Weave, to reimagine the early woven textiles made from organic cotton and natural dyes, creating versatile styling pieces for the new-age nomad.

We present to you a Nagnata film on loom, lensed by filmmaker Avani Rai in Maheshwar, India.

A dynamic presentation of film, movement and fashion, held at the Sydney Modern, Art Gallery of NSW.

The celebration marks ten years since Nagnata began working with artisans in India, honouring the early work that has inspired and informed much of the brand's ethos.

Leading Indian stylist and creative director Kshitj Kankaria was flown out exclusively to style the runway featured alongside a projection of 'looms and landscapes', lensed by Indian film maker Avani Rai.

Working closely with our cresondo of creative collaborators, an origin story is unravelled, of roots that have taken firm ground, and its natural progression into a sprawling, bursting foliage of the future.

Movement 11 draws from the rebellious energy of the streets, a nod to 90’s youthful nostalgia, injected with a new found freedom.

New SAMA styles build upon a gender diverse expression; a trackside uniform relaxed with low-slung styling.

Embody movement and mind practices; materialise in the new Nagnata uniform.
