About Anna Plunkett

Collections combine exuberant prints, elaborate decoration and playful silhouettes, often developed through collaborations with artists. Rather than treating clothing as an isolated object, Plunkett and Sales create a broader visual world around each collection. Their work is represented in the National Gallery of Victoria, where garments such as Heliconia girl document the label's distinctive use of colour and illustrated textiles.
