Brisbane fashion house Easton Pearson was at the avantgarde of international fashion between 1998 and 2016. The label’s success hinged on the creative relationship between Pamela Easton and Lydia Pearson, whose unique ways of working fostered inventive designs and lasting collaborations while supporting ethical manufacture. Pattern and Print: Easton Pearson Archive presents the fantastical world of Easton Pearson, where both simplicity and detail shine, and artistry triumphs. It features a collection of Easton Pearson’s most vibrant designs, highlighting the staggering variety of patterns, colours and materials the label employed.
