The Couture Collection is the life’s work of fashion designers John Claringbold and Ross Weymouth who spent most of their career in Melbourne, and lived their final years in Darlington Point.

Throughout their career, they won numerous fashion awards including Gown of the Year 12 times. A collection of 230 of their gowns was acquired in 2005 by the Griffith Regional Art Gallery.

GRAG Ltd Community Committee, in partnership with the Griffith Regional Art Gallery, are hosting a gala fashion parade showcasing a selection of these exquisite gowns to raise funds for their continued conservation.

Due to the fragility of the fabrics, this will be the last time these gowns will be modelled on the runway, so don’t miss the opportunity to see them and contribute to their preservation.

Event details: Saturday 3 May from 6pm | Black Tie event at Whitton Malt House.
