Sustainable fashion

Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries

Welcome to ' That’s so last Century – What we wore 1950s – 1990s'. In 2019, Auckland Libraries hosted a Fashion Week talk on the theme of sustainable fashion. In this clip, we hear from Wayne Siu, retro fashion man about town, on why vintage fashion is important in the context of climate change. https://ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/news/2019/08/breathing-new-life-into-old-clothes/ Voices have been drawn from Auckland Libraries Oral History and Sound, Heritage Collections. kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz ‘That’s So Last Century: What We Wore 1950s – 1990s’ exhibition is on at Level 2 of Auckland’s Central City Library from Wednesday 20 March – 13 July 2024. So grab your coat and grab your hat… and head to town to enjoy a view of retro magazines, photographs, patterns and materials showcasing what we wore last century!
