Wackie Ju ‘S8S’ Sensory Fashion Exhibition
Feb 24 -
Feb 27
Heartbreak, survival and becoming.
Wackie Ju is a Melbourne label that draws on storytelling and theatrical performance to shape its designs. This month, as part of the Independent shows at PayPal Melbourne Fashion Week, the brand presents S8S, a sensory fashion exhibition.
Structured in two chapters, Eden Lost and Martyr’s Concrete Jungle, the exhibition traces the evolution of the label’s first two couture collections within the Self-Save trilogy, Wackie Ju 001: Summer Fade and Wackie Ju 002: Saviour. Expanding beyond the runway, S8S transforms couture into a spatial narrative, with garments displayed on mannequins and suspended installations alongside graphic and object-based works.
The exhibition unfolds as a multi-sensory journey, activated by an original soundtrack from Sha 芝麻 Zhi Ma and custom scent and sculptural works by Jesse Wakenshaw. For more information on the free event, head here.
