Special Exhibition
On the opening day of Afterpay Australian Fashion Week, Romance was Born swept us away on an aquatic adventure with their Resort 2023 collection: Done Zone
Our gallery in the Rocks was transformed into an undersea runway complete with Rosie Deacon's watery disco grotto, and Ken's paintings were brought to life in ruffled gowns, delicate beading, sequinned dresses and jackets and a very special suit, hand-painted by Ken (as were all of the model's shoes)!
