Together Alone: Australian and New Zealand Fashion

NGV Australia, The Ian Potter Centre

http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au
Thursday 01 October 2009 to Sunday 18 April 2010
Exhibition previously on at NGV Australia, The Ian Potter Centre in Melbourne precinct, Victoria, Australia
Bringing together a selection of work from the last decade, this exhibition will highlight the dynamic practices of eight leading contemporary Australian and New Zealand independent fashion labels. Drawing on recent NGV acquisitions, Together Alone will investigate and contrast the sometimes disquieting sources of inspiration that lie at the heart of these designers’ works.

As close neighbours, Australia and New Zealand share common fashion ground. Regional identities in a global fashion system, Australian and New Zealand designers have received international recognition for their distinctive and original approaches.

Artists include Toni Maticevski, MaterialByProduct, World, NomD, Akira, Romance was born, Doris de Pont and Zambesi.
