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.

The opening performance involved Audra from TDM Clothing creating an imitation Chanel Laptop bag for Chicks on Speed and Fairwear Campaign. Presented as part of the Melbourne Fashion Festival.
Chicks on Speed is a feminist music and art ensemble, formed in Munich in 1997 at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts.
