From miners and mechanics to punks, pop stars, and fashion icons — denim has done it all.

Discover how denim evolved from hard-wearing workwear into one of the world’s most enduring fashion statements. Explore the style, the social history and the environmental impact of denim production, all stitched into this well preserved late-1970s Lee Cooper denim jumpsuit.

Join Kaihāpai Taonga / Curator, Fashion and Textiles, Stephanie Wood, for the next Outfit of the Month talk at Whanganui Regional Museum.

Everyone is welcome. No need to book. Admission is free. Koha for the Museum is always appreciated. The outfit will remain on display throughout June.
