Ever wanted to try on a piece of haute couture?
Well, tomorrow night, you can!! One of my favourite craft + design galleries in Sydney called Object is opening an exhibition from this Saturday showcasing eight leading Australian fashion designers in an exhibition called How You Make It. This engaging exhibition invites people to experience the detail and process behind some of Australia’s most conceptual designers. Visitors will be given the unique chance to try on selected garments, some of which will never enter the marketplace. As a special one-off opportunity, the infamous outfit worn by Björk for her recent album tour will be on show for visitors to try on.
Tomorrow night (Friday, June 20) is the very exclusive opening to the exhibition, and I have been offered two tickets to attend. But as you all know, I am not in Sydney so guess what?! The lovely team at Object have given me the go ahead to offer my tickets to you! All you have to do is be the first to leave a comment with a “YES PLEASE!” and you and your guest are in.
The featured design practices include: Anthea van Kopplen, Ess. Laboratory, FORMALLYKNOWNAS, MATERIALBYPRODUCT, Paula Dunlop, Project, Simon Cooper and S!X.
I wish I was in Sydney to attend this incredible event but I am thrilled to offer this to you. Thank you, Object! Have a wonderful night and I’m looking forward to hearing all about it!
PS. I have to dash to a meeting but I’ll be back soon to check the results and will email the winner the details of where and when. see you soon! xx

I saw the exhibition at Craft Victoria. I hope Object does the workshop on that wonderful envelope dress. The beaded dress features in the current Object magazine. Scrummy pics.
