ABOUT THE ORGANISERS
Tom McEvoy has a Masters Degree in Fashion and Textiles from RMIT and is a passionate revivalist of long forgotten fashion houses that were once leaders in Australian style. His intrigue in experimental fashion anthropology has seen him explore ways to connect a digital generation with a lost world of Australian fashion and the stories deeply embedded in garments. His work focuses on how to fuse identities of the past into those of the present; to enliven self expression as a form of historical cultural ownership.
