Australian designer Collette Dinnigan is known for her hand-beaded dresses, signature French lace slips and lingerie sought out by clientele including Taylor Swift, Angelina Jolie and the Duchess of Cambridge.
In 1995 Dinnigan was the first Australian designer to be invited to show at the Paris ready to wear fashion week, a remarkable accomplishment for the lingerie designer who had a small shop in Paddington just five years earlier.
Now a retrospective of Dinnigan’s collections, realised by award-winning stage designer and artist Anna Tregloan, has opened at the Powerhouse’s Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences.
