FASHION: Back to the Future

This event will have guests embarking on time travel back to the way we looked and sounded in the 1950s, ‘60s, ‘70s and 80s, then warping forward to fashion in the future. It will be an evening of fashion, fun and unexpected ‘intermissions’.

Quality clothing from yesteryear will stir memories, and the complementing jewellery and accessories will prove that top designs, materials and craftsmanship endure the decades.

FASHION: Back to the Future is a Presbyterian Support Otago event with all proceeds going back to the community through its Family Works services for families and children throughout Otago. Some of the clothing featured in the parade will be available for purchase from either Shop on Carroll (10 Carroll St) or The Op Shop (59 St Andrew St).
