In September, we had the opportunity to support Grace Lillian Lee for the Jean Paul Gaultier show and see her Dream Weaver Exhibition at Brisbane Powerhouse.  It was an immersion into the world of avant-garde fashion and cultural storytelling. This unique show offered a rare opportunity to see Gaultier's bold, theatrical designs in a show that also featured Grace Lillian Lee's crafted piece 'Medusa'.  The Syndicate were also able to experience Grace Lillian Lee's solo exhibition The Dream Weaver: The Guardians of Grace at Brisbane Powerhouse.  This exhibition exemplified Grace's vibrant and culturally resonant work highlighting the power of fashion as both art and identity. 

In May, we joined First Nations Designers and met with the team of Citizen Wolf and  Joss Gabriel of The Social Outfit. These meetings created the potential for meaningful collaboration that can blend both creative vision and social impact. Both The Social Outfit and Citizen Wolf have a commitment to ethical production and community support.  The Social Outfit is known for empowering refugee and migrant communities through fashion and brings a unique cultural richness to its collections. Meanwhile, Citizen Wolf is acclaimed for its sustainable, custom-fit garments, challenging the norms of mass production.  Designers engaging with these teams learn innovative approaches to fashion that prioritise environmental responsibility and inclusivity, creating a shared vision where style meets purpose.
