A Certain Style - an exhibition of fashion by Ponsonby resident Bruce Papas

He was trained in fashion design by our most famous madam, Flora Mackenzie who, before she diversified, was a couturier to the well-heeled of Auckland. Bruce also had a salon called Staevro Gowns at the family home in Redmond Street in the 1950s before he became the designer at Milne & Choyce Department store on Queen Street.

The Museum will be showing his gowns and dresses, sketches and embroideries. The exhibition runs from 19 March to 1 April 2017.
