Let's unite /
It's time to raise the status of the status quo /
Let’s refuse to blend /
Or be silent /
Come and sit together /
Learn from each other /
See our shapes don’t define us /
Our skin colour doesn't define us /
Our stories do /
We’re absolute individuals /
Originals /
One of a kinds /
Yet we are all connected by our humanity /
Can we fit in and still stand out? /
Of course we can /
We already do /
But alone we can do so little /
Collectively we can do so much /
We stand stronger when we stand together.
#REALTALK
THE DESIGNS
Using the power of fashion to inspire, uplift and take action, we have teamed up with four Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to create the collection: Standing Together.
It focuses on fighting inequality and championing progress for people of colour, especially Australia's First Nations people.

SHOP WITH PURPOSE
Life Apparel acts as a bridge that connects the broader Australian community with First Nations artists. We create unique apparel that respects and celebrates the values of Indigenous people, placing their history and culture at centre-stage.
As an Australian, family-owned and operated business, giving back to the community is hugely important to us. Along with regular donations to various groups, individuals and the continuous commissions paid to each artist, we are excited to partner with i=Change to donate a further $1 from every online sale to one of three nation-wide charities, and you get to choose where the donation goes! This gives you a powerful purpose to your purchase, that extends far beyond our products.
The process is easy!
Simply place your online order and select your chosen charity through the pop up that will appear after you’ve hit the ‘Place Order’ button in the checkout. *Available from 18 Dec 2020.
