The Fabulous Fifties | 1950s Fashion Event

Step back into the glamour and sophistication of the 1950s with an evening celebrating one of the most stylish decades in fashion history, right in the heart of Sydney.

Presented in partnership with The Cavalcade of History & Fashion, The Fabulous Fifties explores the rise of the cocktail dress and the social traditions that defined post-war entertaining. As prosperity returned and social calendars filled with cocktail parties and elegant gatherings, a new style emerged – less formal than an evening gown, yet every bit as glamorous.

Discover a captivating collection of authentic 1950s cocktail dresses and accessories as history is brought to life through fashion, storytelling and expert commentary. From full skirts and nipped waists to exquisite fabrics and attention to detail, these garments capture the optimism, elegance and femininity of the era.

A wonderful evening for those with an interest in fashion, history, design or simply a unique social experience in the heart of Sydney.
