Hand & Heart Shall Never Part: The fashion collaboration of Linda Jackson & David McDiarmid

Hand and Heart

Between 1975 and 1994 two friends – artist, designer and gay activist David McDiarmid and acclaimed fashion designer Linda Jackson – collaborated on Linda Jackson’s designs for Jenny Kee’s Flamingo Park boutique and later Linda’s Bush Couture label in Sydney. Sally Gray’s exhibition narrative and her extended catalogue essay trace the ideas and working methods that inspired this fashion collaboration and the historical context in which it took place.
