Fashion Rules
A West Space Project curated by Kylie Wilkinson
Artists: Chicks on Speed and Fairwear
14 Mar 2002 - 31 Mar 2002 · West Space · Gallery 2
Fashion Rules was a collaboration between Fairwear and Chicks on Speed which resulted in a cross-media exhibition that explored fashion as a form of political intervention. Fairwear are well known for their campaigning for the rights of outworkers in the footwear, clothing and textile industries in Australia, while Chicks on Speed are a transnational electronic pop group that subvert music and fashion industry conventions through their performances and exhibitions.
The opening performance involved Audra from TDM Clothing creating an imitation Chanel Laptop bag for Chicks on Speed and Fairwear Campaign.
The exhibition was presented as part of the Melbourne Fashion Festival.
