Our clothes aren’t simply scraps to shield our modesty – they’re also an extension of our personalities and a reflection of our environment and culture. New online magazine The Fashion Archives delves into Queenslanders’ sartorial quirks by holding a magnifying glass over the wardrobes of our past. Published every fortnight, the publication features posts from some of Queensland’s most talented designers, artists and historians.

Curators and researchers Madeleine King and Nadia Buick have dug deep into the archives and shed light on the curious (and sometimes questionable) history of style in Queensland. Immerse yourself in Q&As with fashion favourites like Paula Walden and Margaret Maynard, read contributors’ responses to intriguing artefacts and images, and check out some sweet vintage street style.
