[Talk] House of Merivale

Hi all,

My next talk is next week – I’ll be speaking about much-loved Sydney label ‘The House of Merivale’. From the Glen Eira libraries website:

Australia’s first fashion concept store, Merivale, was our answer to London’s Biba, producing small runs of cutting-edge fashion. During the ’60s and ’70s, their diverse range of styles included everything from hippie, boho, disco and glam rock, to Victorian-revival prairie dresses – and all the glamorous accessories to create the complete look.

Join fashion historian and author Nicole Jenkins for a look at one of Australia’s most dynamic fashion labels.

  2. Hi Edwina, Merivale comes up frequently on ebay: you can set up a search to be the first to know. Etsy also has its fair share.
