Having started in 2021, Dann said it was one of her goals to make it on the big runways around the world.
"When I first started Ihraa Swim that was one of my goals to eventually be on that runway," she said.
"So from Australian Fashion Week to now to New York, I'm still pinching myself.
"But I think it's a testament to how far I've come. People look from the outside and think wow these great opportunities have just popped up for you.
"But really behind the scenes it's been like ten years in the making."
Dann has set her sights on working on a new line to be launched in 2023 and is seeking to take her designs into the metaverse, a rapidly growing space for the fashion industry.
