Colour and Pattern in Abundance

If you are in Melbourne do not miss the Africa Fashion exhibition currently on at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV).

It is a story of how fashion and culture combine to create an aesthetic where colour and pattern inspire when it comes to personal style.

The exhibition the largest of African Fashion seen in Australia includes traditional dress and contemporary takes on European fashion.

Traditional dress is celebrated in fabrics developed using traditional dyeing techniques.

NGV Africa Fashion Explores Cultural connections

The use of colour and unique textures defines this exhibition, the fashion, and the culture it presents.

Experiencing Africa Fashion means enjoying the exuberant styling options that colour and pattern offer.

Presenting the clothing on normal size mannequins makes the fashion approachable as well as eye catching.

Cultural connections are explored through the inclusion of images from Melbourne’s African diaspora.

It is a confirmation that fashion is more than clothes, it speaks to culture and is an extension of the people that make and wear it!
