Join us as we uncover a fascinating chapter of Australia's cultural story – where every stitch tells a tale!

Strut down memory lane and discover the clothing and fashion that formed the fabric of Australian life across the late 19th and 20th centuries.

Defined by a timeless blend of style, practicality and openness, Australian fashion carved out its own identity far from the world's major fashion capitals.

We'll bring this vibrant history to life through stunning photographs and engaging audio-visual materials, offering an enlightening glimpse into the richness of the national archival collection.

Don't miss this opportunity to discover the threads that connect Australia's past to its present!
