The Endless Garment celebrates the virtuosity and future directions of the new craft of machine knitting which is changing the way fashion is designed and made. The exhibition will showcase the work of 12 international and Australian designers, including the remarkable contemporary fashion precedents of Miyake Design Studio, to the pioneering work of Yoshiki Hishinuma and the emerging talent of Sandra Backlund. Other designers include Cooperative Designs, Mark Fast, Yoshiki Hishinuma, Saverio Palatella, Freddie Robins, Sibling and Walter Van Beirendonck. Staged during the 2010 L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival, the exhibition displays new forms, experimental sampling and a series of ‘mini labs’ featuring computerised knitting machines producing experimental fashion. Gallery visitors will be able to watch technology in action producing highly original and experimental fashion design.

Opening 11 Feb 6-8PM
