The Studio: Nicola Finetti
The Frock stars exhibition welcomes you to explore a recreation of fashion designer Nicola Finetti’s studio.
Nicola Finetti established his label in the mid 1990s. In 1998 he made his Australian Fashion Week catwalk debut, earning applause from fashion critics, including the influential Marion Hume, then editor of Vogue Australia, who praised the ‘delicate smoky transparency’ of his clothes. Since then Finetti has shown his signature romantic, sensual and wearable garments every year at Fashion Week. He says: ‘Fashion Week for me is important because it really helped make me known overseas and here … every time you get something out of it … something new that adds to your label’.
The success of Fashion Week is built on the creativity of designers like Nicola Finetti.
