From the 1860s to the 1980s, Dunedin rose and fell as a centre for clothing and textile manufacturing and retailing in New Zealand.
Today, the city is home to a resurgent fashion design industry, carrying on a tradition of textile production and design that goes back more than 150 years.
Material Culture delves into our rich collection of clothing and associated artefacts to portray various aspects of fashion and the fashion industry in Dunedin throughout the ages.
