As Covid recedes into the past, it becomes possible to visit exhibitions once again. And as luck would have it, there was a particularly interesting little fashion exhibition at the David Roche Gallery in Adelaide while I was in town.

Called, "Style & Sprit: the Fashion of Chester Weinberg", this exhibition followed the career of a once-prominent designer who fell into obscurity after he died of an AIDS related illness in 1985. However, before his career was cut short he produced glamorous but wearable designs to dress the rich and fashionable of New York.
