Who are we?

Vixen explores and celebrates mid-century fashion through the lens of cultural transformation and a splash of femininity. Drawing inspiration from the Powerhouse Museum's extensive collection, we focus on garments and objects that embody the bold, experimental, and often fragile aesthetics of this era. To highlight how fashion from this period was both expressive and symbolic, through fashion garments, furniture, house ware, and more. Each piece is chosen for its ability to evoke the spirit of the era and its relevance to ongoing conversations about identity, gender, and design.

We invite you to consider how historical garments continue to shape our understanding of femininity and cultural expression today.

All information and pieces have been take from the Powerhouse Museum Collection
