The Fashion and Textile Gallery - Opening in Sydney
Charlotte Smith, author of Dreaming of Dior and Australian artist Penelope Leonard have come together with their love of fashion and textiles to establish The Fashion & Textile Gallery.
The Fashion & Textile Gallery aims to be a centre of excellence for the Fashion Industry, an education facility for emerging designers, dressmaking enthusiasts and an exciting place to visit for the public, or anyone interested in fashion and fashion history.
The Fashion and Textile Gallery aims to nurture the creative spirit through exhibitions, lectures, practical classes and functions.
The Darnell Collection, recognised as the country’s most significant private clothing collection, is an exceptional resource permanently housed in the Fashion & Textile Gallery now open to the public. The opportunity to study at leisure the exquisite historical garments and accessories included in the 5500 piece collection is unparalleled.
The Darnell Collection’s curator and collector Charlotte Smith in conjunction with the Gallery Director Penelope Leonard will present an annual themed program of specialised exhibitions and seminars.
As well as the permanent display of items from Darnell collection, The Fashion & Textile Gallery will also feature exhibitions of artists and designers of significance to the fashion industry and artistic community in general.
