ManStyle - National Gallery Victoria, March 2011

You’d be hard pressed to find a designer in Australia who could claim the dubious honour of designing man kilts and matching jackets. Studio director, Bruce, didn’t wear his red and black box pleat skirts, but plenty of Melbourne clubbers danced to the beat of Malcolm McLaren, circa 1980s flinging their man skirts. If it’s good style you’re after, and a trip down memory lane, check out the ManStyle Exhibition at the NGV from March – October 2011. Kylie Minogue, Cindi Lauper, the Beastie Boys, INXS and Alice Cooper are just a few of the brave who donned the label.
