See how this single fibre has led to a worldwide fashion revolution. Fashion from fleece celebrates two centuries of Australian wool in fashion, and also charts the journey of the Australian Merino from the pastoral boom to the high-tech fabric innovations of today. The exhibition includes contemporary pieces by Martin Grant, Collette Dinnigan, Josh Goot, Easton Pearson, Akira Isogawa and proenza Schouler, as well as modern and vintage wool garments by Chanel, Yves Saint laurent, Giorgio Armani and Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons, and historical material from the Powerhouse Museum's collection.

Created in association with Australian Wool Innovation.
