200 Years of Australian Fashion (2.5/5)

Somewhat disappointing survey of Australian fashion since settlement.   Strong collections from the 1960's onwards do not excuse the paucity of earlier years nor the limited assessment of economic, social and cultural drivers.  An okay exhibition for looking at pretty frocks, but little men's fashion and limited interpretation leaves a feeling of an opportunity missed.
