How do garments, stories and objects connect to who we are?
Who We Are
What an awesome ride and we're not finished yet. So many more treasures to share with you still. Watch this space.
Great clothes, like great stories are even better when they're shared!
A few photos from the wardrobe of Kate Miller-Heidke to the Australian Museum of Performing Arts.
Kate's iconic pieces were on display at the DIVA exhibition in 2025. It was AMAZING!
What an absolute honour to work with Kate in her wardrobe, Kate's manager Nick Walsh @ One Louder and the team at Arts Centre Melbourne throughout 2025. Thank you and congratulations on such an extraordinary show. 10 Stars.
