註釋Australian fashion is often accused of being derivative; Australian designers of foisting copies of European designs on the unsuspecting consumer; Australian women of slavishly of slavishly following European fashion. But is this really the way Australian women's fashion works?

Challenging beliefs that a specific national identity is exclusive to men's dress, it rethinks the notion that European couture is merely imposed on female consumers.
