We are getting better at celebrating our pioneers in Australia, especially those pioneers who happen to be women and from diverse backgrounds.
In a new survey exhibition at Powerhouse Ultimo, Italian-born Australian fashion designer and icon, Carla Zampatti (1938-2021) will be celebrated not only for her contribution to our local fashion and manufacturing industry, but for her capacity to empower women.
