Fitzroy Crossing designer, Letticia Shaw, showcased her collection at Paris Fashion Week on Sunday. Her label, Ticia Designs, is a fashion brand that fuses culture and craft with contemporary trends.

Despite presenting her brand’s designs to an audience of established buyers, media and press at this week’s Flying Solo Runway, Shaw appeared cool, calm and collected.

With this being the first time both the designer and her brand left Australia, feelings of excitement seemed to override any nerves.

After audience applause and several smiles splashed across critic’s faces, Ticia Designs impressed both local and international industry leaders.

Held at Paris’ stunning La Galerie Bourbon, the event location added an additional touch of high-end luxury the Australian designer strives to capture within all her garments.

Aside from Shaw’s stunning designs, emerging First Nations models Kahlia Rogers and Letisha Davies also stole the runway spotlight.

After being accepted to showcase her designs in Paris, Shaw knew if there was any opportunity to support and provide opportunities to other young First Nations women she would quickly be on board.

“I hadn’t worked with them (Kahlia and Letisha) before but It was suggested to me because I wanted to give the experience to two Indigenous models to also experience doing a fashion show in Paris,” Shaw said.

With Paris’ Flying Solo Runway being the first international modelling opportunity for both young women, they too, certainly gained the attention of industry leaders.

“I’m feeling so proud to have been able to represent an Aboriginal designer internationally,” model Kahlia Rogers told Style Up.

Whilst they may have also been overjoyed with excitement, when taking to the runway the two models immediately switched to work mode. Strutting their stuff with their shoulders back and chin up, it was evident both Rogers and Davies had a wealth of experience.

Stepping out to take her bow with a wide grin, it was evident Shaw was beyond thrilled with the audience’s response to Ticia Designs.

After months in the design room and several hours of travel and meetings, Shaw’s collection finally gained the status and recognition it truly deserved.

Impressing an international audience, locking in Melbourne Fashion Week and providing opportunities to two emerging models, it is clear Shaw is at the forefront of industry success.

With 2024 just around the corner, who knows what the talented designer will do next… however after her Paris debut it’s likely Shaw’s next project will make more headlines than one.

Ms Shaw’s trip would not have been possible without the generosity of sponsors Roy Hill, Ms Gina Rinehart AO, Marra Worra Worra Aboriginal Corporation and Leedal Pty Ltd.

The Roy Hill Family Day is an incredible opportunity to share FIFO family experiences together. Families are delighted to take a flight to the mine or port to experience the mining world for a day.

Editorial: WA must fight against ‘Victorian’ IR laws | Don’t let a group of Victorians decide what’s right for you

07.09.2023

Gerhard Veldsman, chief executive of Roy Hill, is the latest business leader to sound off on the “same job, same pay” IR laws, telling the Minerals Week conference in Canberra the overhaul would force miners to shift staff to “minimum award standards”. “Don’t let a small group of people out of Victoria that has never set foot on a mine site decide what’s good for you,” Mr Veldsman, pictured, told the crowd, adding the mining sector already paid nation-leading salaries. “We work together to make the industry better and then we make sure that when mining does well our employees share in it. Same job, same pay threatens to take this away and force us back to minimum award standards.”
