Fashion Week - aka RAFW, or Rosemount Australian Fashion Week - is upon us, my friends!
Get into the mood by visiting "Frock Stars", a fabulous new exhibition at Sydney's PowerHouse Museum.
The exhibition takes you behind the scenes to Australian Fashion Week. Experience the shows, the set and the scene. Relax in the VIP lounge, watch footage from past and present collections, see some of the best outfits from the past 15 years, plus exclusive interviews with designers, models and industry insiders!
From backstage to front row, "Frock Stars" takes a look at the complex organisation behind the staging of this major event and the roles and experiences of selected people working inside Australian Fashion Week; from buyers, media and models to designers, volunteers and producers. Explore the creative process of putting together a collection, in a recreation of the studio of fashion designer Nicola Finetti.
A centrepiece in the exhibition is a catwalk showcasing fifteen key Australian Fashion Week outfits drawn from the first shows from 1996 to the present.
Now in its 15th year, Rosemount Australian Fashion Week is an annual presentation of spring/summer collection shows by established and emerging designers from Australia and the Asia-Pacific. The event is now recognised globally as the 5th stop on the international fashion week circuit alongside London, Paris, Milan and New York.
