About this listen

Watch a movie from the 50s or 60s about the future, and apparently, we should be all wearing silver jumpsuits around now, or coloured PVC. Most of us aren't, but what we are wearing is shaped by a myriad external influences, be they cultural, social, demographic, economic, political, or more.

Dr Madeleine Seys from Adelaide University explains what role colonisation played on fashion in Australia, and why active-wear was already a thing 200 years ago.
