ABOUT THE ORGANISERS
Richard Nylon has been creating millinery pieces for over twenty years. His work has been collected by the National Gallery of Victoria, and commissioned by The Australian Ballet, and he teaches millinery at RMIT University. Nylon is recognised for his audacious personal style often captured in social pages.
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.
