24-year-old Aboriginal artist Presten Warren had not seen a sari up close until last year.

Today, his designs appear on a sari range created by Australia-based South Asian label Saree Selections – the first line of which has all sold out.

“I am overwhelmingly proud to know I was approached to collaborate on such a special blend of culture, art and fashion,” the award-winning artist and Wirangu/Dieri/Kokotha/Mirning man of the ocean and desert tribes, told Indian Link.

“I understand how significant and meaningful saris are to Indian women, and to feature something I created on these traditional garments, is really quite surreal.”
