Jenny Bannister

Bannister studied Fashion Design and Production at RMIT's Emily McPherson College, graduating in 1974.

The Bannister label began at the height of the 1970s radical fashion movement, and later evolved into couture and up-market boutique styles.

Her designs are featured prominently in the Melbourne Fashion Festival and her pieces have also recently been auctioned at Christie's in London.

Due to her creative and distinctive approach to design, many significant pieces of Bannister's work have been collected by major art galleries and museums.

The National Gallery of Victoria is collecting Bannister's work from the 1970s and 1980s for their archives, and included select pieces in the 2016 exhibition 200 Years of Australian Fashion.
