Speaker: Bianca Duncan
Air Force Museum of NZ

A Short History
of Fashion During WWII

This presentation explores the dramatic effect WWII had on the way Kiwis dressed, as rationing and ‘make-do and mend’
became everyday practices.
Take a closer look at service caps, jackets, wedding dresses, pockets, and more, as we show you photos and uniform pieces from the Air Force Museum collection.

All welcome and bring a friend

We want to know: How do you feel about outdoor art?

Interested in the new works that will decorate the Garden City? The Press has you covered.
