Tarni Jarvis

Young Djab Wurrung Gunditjmara designer, Tarni Jarvis, was one of only nine VCE students across Victoria invited to display her work, Parramal Puna Punai, or Little Emu Girl, in the annual VCE: Top Design exhibition held at Melbourne Museum in the category of Product Design and Technology.​

Tarni dedicated over one hundred hours to create her garment from ethically and sustainably sourced materials and was inspired by artworks seen in the Koori Heritage trust and Koori fashion designers like Lyn-Al Young.​

Hear from Tarni as she explains how she created her intricate and detailed work and the cultural significance it holds for her.
