In 1995, Collette Dinnigan became the first Australian designer to launch a ready-to-wear collection at Paris fashion week. The two decades that followed saw her establish herself as one of the biggest names in Australian fashion for her romantic designs and use of delicate, detailed fabrics.
The designer wrapped up her ready-to-wear business in 2013, but still creates occasional special collections – like her ongoing eyewear collaboration with Specsavers, the latest of which will launch on Thursday.
