Melbourne Fashion Week: Curator tour of Trenches to Runway

Uncover the rich connections between the uniforms that once graced the battlefield and the iconic fashion staples we embrace today in this exclusive guided tour of the Shrine exhibition Trenches to Runway: Military Influences on Modern Fashion.

Join an expert curator as they unpack the profound impact of military clothing design and wartime conditions on popular fashion. Through treasured pieces and artefacts, you will discover how wartime led to innovative design solutions and how the fashion industry reinterpreted these styles, giving them new meaning and expression in civilian life.

After the tour, enjoy a high tea and Q&A with the curator.

There are two tours available. The first tour and tea runs from 11am to 12.30pm, and the second runs from 2pm to 3.30pm.
