Lingerie label Berlei has issued a formal statement and apology after one of its Pink Bra Project s winning designs came under fire for cultural appropriation of Aboriginal artwork.
The design which has now been withdrawn from the competition entirely, features Aboriginal symbols and dots and was submitted by non-Indigenous artist Nicole Onslow.
