17 February – 3 June 2007

See a glimpse of the next generation of Australian fashion designers at the Powerhouse Museum’s annual Student Fashion exhibition.

On display is a selection of garments by three of the top graduating students from fashion design schools in Sydney: Kim Deters from the Fashion Design Studio at the Sydney Institute of Technology, Ultimo; Amy Yong from the Whitehouse Institute of Design; and Sophie McGinn from the University of Technology, Sydney.

The six outfits vary in style and technique with inspiration drawn from a diverse range of sources, from classic children’s books and French perfume bottles to the theory that we are all connected through ‘six degrees of separation’.

Accompanying each student’s outfits is a display that reveals the creative process behind the designs from concept to fruition, including design drawings, methods of fabrication and fashion photographs. 

Since 1993, the Powerhouse Museum has been providing a glimpse of Australia’s up and coming fashion designers through the annual Student Fashion display. 

Past exhibitors who have gone on to enjoy successful careers in fashion include Toni Maticevski, Michelle Jank, Anthony Kendal and Rebecca Dawson.
