History week takes a fashion flashback this year, and celebrates the nation's sartorial journey with a series of exhibitions and talks. Here are our picks of the programme
The Muses |
|
Sydney |
Leading Australian fashion designers will exhibit original pieces that they've created for their historical muses. Herringbone has taken inspiration from John Curtin, Zimmerman riffs on Annette Kellerman, Sass and Bide have designed with Merivale Hemmes in mind, and Camilla has taken Jean Garling as muse. See the bespoke garments on display and hear their creators discuss their design processes. Champagne and sandwiches included. |
Faith, Fashion, Fusion |
|
Marrickville |
Australia's growing Muslim community means a modest fashion market is slowly emerging. Powerhouse curator Glynis Jones will discuss the trend and highlight key exhibits in the museum's Faith, Fashion, Fusion: Muslim women's style in Australia exhibition. |
Feminism and Fashion |
|
Ultimo |
Does your hem reflect your ideals? Find out when historian Beverley Kingston discusses the ways that evolving fashion has both encouraged and challenged feminist pushes over the last century. |
Street Fashion |
|
|
Newtown |
Give Face Hunter a rest for the afternoon and check out this talk and accompanying exhibition instead. Sydney photographer Patricia Baillie has been taking street style snaps for decades, and here she'll explore the diverse styles of inner-city Sydneysiders. |
Flash Back: Fashion Photography in Australia |
|
Sydney |
The State Library of NSW's dress historian, Margot Riley, reflects on the emergence of Australian fashion photography and how its images have shaped our country's sartorial history. |
Dressing Sydney: The Jewish Fashion Story |
