Not only are her designs and the fabrics and the clothes remarkable, but she's has generously shared her work in these exhibitions allowing us to get up close (but not too close) and personal with them.
The alliances with the historic properties in Melbourne and Brisbane seriously inspires and enhances the quality of all garments.
Firstly, costumes from 'The Dressmaker'. This movie starred Kate Winslet and one of the Hemsworth bros. They were displayed at Rippon Lea in Melbourne.
They created the full film set concept, renaming the property Dungatar (as was the name of the town in the movie)
The infamous red dress.
Some dullness in the costumes of her Mother and the schoolmistress.
Contrasting with the elegance of her new style creations.
A recreation of the costumer's workroom
More gorgeousness
... And fun how they themed the meals in the cafe.
Blog part 2 will reveal the second exhibition.
Thank you for allowing me to visit - albeit vicariously (is that how you spell the word?)
