History of Fashion Small Bar Talks
Unpick the threads of our past over a drink at one of Sydney's best small bars.
Overview
Booze and fashion go together better than booze and art, so it's fitting that this year's sartorially themed History Week is kicking off with a round of talks at Sydney's best small bars.
Squeeze into Grasshopper on the 22nd to unravel the innately intertwined realms of fashion, consumption and nationalism with 'Cold War Couture?: The Alternative Consumer Culture of American Vogue, 1945–1960' (or, as it could have been titled, 'How French Couture was Watered Down to Accommodate the Stingy Shopping Habits of American Women').
Closer to home, Since I Left You will partake in a little visual rummaging through the belongings carried from Britain to Australia by early settlers, drawing on pictorial and material sources to draw (well-founded) conclusions on the history of family life. And, of course, there's no way the unsurpassably dubbed Shirt Bar could avoid participation, so head to Sussex Lane on the 11th to unpick the threads of late-colonial larrikins over a single malt whisky.
