FASHION HOUSES: AN INTRODUCTION TO FASHION DESIGNERS AND THEIR HOMES WITH PETER MCNEIL
FRI 8 MAR 2:00PM
The Johnston Collection, East Melbourne
TALK
Fashion and interior design are intimately linked. Twentieth-century couturiers paid enormous attention to their homes. The very words ‘house of’ suggest an intimate relationship between fashion designing, retailing and living. Join Peter McNeil for his lecture at The Johnston Collection, ‘Fashion Houses: An Introduction to Fashion Designers and Their Homes’.
Tickets $35

ABOUT THE ORGANISERS
Dr. Peter McNeil is a distinguished Professor of Design History at the University of Technology Sydney. He writes and lectures across design, fashion, textiles, interiors and domestic life.
The Johnston Collection is a multi-award-winning and critically acclaimed museum that invites creatives from the broader visual arts and design communities to re-interpret the Collection through a regular program of re-installation and interventions of the permanent collection. The museum has a superb collection of English Georgian, Regency, and Louis XV fine and decorative arts, and objet d’art which was a gift from William Robert Johnston (1911-1986) to the people of Victoria. Johnston was a prominent Melbourne-born antique dealer, real estate investor and collector. The Collection is displayed in a constantly changing domestic setting, in his former residence, Fairhall, a historic East Melbourne townhouse.
