If you're a fashion history buff or gallery goer, this episode is for you!

Lauren chats to leading fashion curator and writer Paola Di Trocchio, who has had a 20 year career at the NGV and is currently completing her doctoral thesis which includes a close study of fashion journalist and style maverick Anna Piaggi.

Throughout this conversation, Paola reveals what goes on behind the scenes of an exhibition, including insights the public may not know about sourcing items, research, acquiring and conserving historical pieces, in order to put together an considered (and celebrated!) exhibition.
