Under garment company Berlei has apologised for overlooking Indigenous elements in the design selected for its bra contest, saying it had learned a valuable lesson.
The print was submitted by a non-Aboriginal artist and later scrapped the image, and Berlei said they made a mistake in choosing it.
Yarli Creative director Madison Connors said she wanted to call out this conduct because it has been happening across the arts sector, and often goes unnoticed.
"One of the bra designs actually had incorporated Aboriginal symbols in it and it was quite subtle as well," she said
Ms Connors said the symbol represented a camp-site and a star, with many users on social media slamming the brand for cultural appropriation.

Everyone is equal in the West? All in it together?
It is very strange.
Not against any of these groups, but don't see how they get to have supremacy over everyone else.
Some good groups.
