Beyond The Catwalk Exhibition – Launch + Vote

Thank you to everyone who came down to Ballarat for the launch of Beyond The Catwalk: A Decade of Fashion Photography exhibition at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale, and making it a fantastic day! Guests enjoyed an intimate performance by Melbourne indie singer-songwriter A Man Called Son.

Voting is now open for the People’s Choice Awards, vote for ‘Naomi Rahim – Beyond The Catwalk now!

A little bit about the exhibition:

Upon curating this exhibition, my initial goal was to showcase a retrospective of Australian fashion and to demonstrate a unique approach to runway photography. While going through my archives – the story was so much more. Runways are not only a mirror/dictator of trends, they are also an elevated reflection of the zeitgeist. The fashion industry has undergone a transformative shift over the last decade, adapting to the challenges of off-shore manufacturing, environmental impact, the rise of the social media and online shopping as well as society’s desire for brands to reflect our diverse society more fairly and inclusively.
