00:00 I love fashion.
00:01 As a kid I was always enchanted by the magic of clothes.
00:04 My sister and I would live in dress-up boxes.
00:07 I'd watch my mum make all our dance costumes,
00:09 just sequining all of them,
00:11 getting excited by the possibilities
00:13 of what characters we could be.
00:15 Since then, I've become somewhat of a fashion icon.
00:20 Some may even say a little bit of a muse.
00:23 Come to Tom Ford.
00:26 - Two, three, suck in.
00:29 Just walk here.
00:31 There you go.
00:32 - Best day of my life.
00:34 So I've put my hand up to rummage
00:36 through Australia's wardrobe
00:37 to uncover our most fascinating fashion history.
00:41 Like many people, I've developed a bit
00:43 of a love-hate relationship with my wardrobe
00:45 and the industry around it.
00:46 And I've wondered what sort of power fashion has over us.
00:51 Let's face it, when you think about what Australians wear,
00:54 the first image that springs to mind
00:56 isn't exactly high fashion.
00:58 But over time, we've built up a globally recognised,
01:02 multi-billion dollar industry,
01:04 and one we should all be super proud of.
01:06 But we can't deny that this industry
01:09 has also made us feel too fat, too skinny,
01:12 too tall, too poor.
01:13 Like there's just so many ways
01:15 that we're not good enough for our clothes.
01:17 - I got tired of skinny little sales girls saying,
01:19 "I've nothing in your size,"
01:21 which makes you feel enormous.
01:22 And you walk out of the shop
01:24 with the greatest psychological hangup you can imagine.
01:26 Why is it that fashion can run so deep into our psyche?
01:30 And if it is so deep,
01:33 why do you think it's so often considered as shallow?
01:36 - For me, this is personal.
01:38 And for Australia, it might just be the most intimate
01:41 and underestimated insight into how the country has evolved.
01:44 - I'm gonna show you why fashion does matter
01:47 and how it has altered the course of our history
01:49 without us even knowing.
01:50 This is the way we wore.
