The Creative Collective Exhibition – For Curious Eyes Only showed a selection of work from Melbourne’s best, most innovative and diverse independent designers, artists and makers.
Presented by Creative Victoria, the exhibition was expertly curated by Virginia Dowzer and designed by Moth Design. As I wandered around the exploratory space, I was filled with pride at knowing at least half the designers on show. It was a joyous celebration of a vibrant community that I actively support and feel a part of (adorn, adorn, adorn). The exhibition merged fashion design with artists, creative concepts, jewellery, performance, sound, floristry and illustration.
