Overview

Australia has reared a host of fashion luminaries, from Akira Isogawa to Sass & Bide. And while it's hard to imagine these creative titans as students, there was indeed a time before they made it. For 20 years the Powerhouse Museum has staged an annual exhibtion of Student Fashion. It shows work by the most accomplished tertiary fashion graduates, providing a taste of the upcoming design talent brewing in our own backyard.

Twenty years. Think of the metamorphoses the fashion world has undergone since 1993! The exhibition showcases styles by last year's standout fashion students, as well as the latest from more seasoned alumni of the last two decades, including Toni Maticevski, Gabriel Lee, Timo Rissanen and Alana Clifton-Cunningham.
