Swinging Sydney

In Swinging Sydney, well-known fashion photographer David Mist has captured the fashions and flavour of life in Sydney in the late 1960s. With Sydney’s fashion scene still in its infancy, Mist’s European trained eye was highly sought after and he quickly established himself in the burgeoning industry here. The exhibition draws from his fashion and commissioned work, including set-up and candid images that depict a young, hip and increasingly cosmopolitan city.
