Genevieve Smart - Beyond the Runway: Fashion, Vision & Legacy
It’s part of Who’s In The Room? | Curated Conversations for Fashion, Arts & Creative, a series focused on: Conversations with the people shaping tomorrow.
Genevieve Smart has spent three decades shaping how Australians dress, from the design studios of Zimmermann and Lisa Ho to co-founding Ginger & Smart with her sister Alexandra in 2002. Now she is taking her eye somewhere new: into interiors, hospitality and collaborations that reach well past the runway.
Our conversation will explore: Design Beyond the Label.
Who should attend Designers and creative directors deciding whether their name belongs on the label, or on someone else’s.
Founders of fashion and lifestyle brands who have built something with family, and know what that asks of both.
Creatives at the close of one chapter, not yet certain of the shape of the next.
Brand, hospitality and interiors leaders looking for creative partners who think beyond a single category.
What you'll take away An insider’s view of how Australian fashion has changed over thirty years, and where creative talent goes next. What it takes to build a label from nothing, and what it means to keep creating once it’s no longer yours.
Direct access to Genevieve and to the room around you: designers, makers, and the people who back them.
