Power House Museum Tour

Power House Museum Exhibition

One piece of the exhibits that gave me a really deep impression is the piece of dress worn by the wife of the Prime Minister William McMahon, Sonia when she first met the president of the United States, Nixon in 1971.

The piece of dress which split the thigh on both sides was design by Victoria Cascajo, and it is very limited one of two of the style designed by this designer.

In this unique dress, we can recognize it among all the designer clothing because it is in the color of shiny white and it is smooth because both of the design and the material used are special.

Sonia then remembered the experience of wearing the dress. “Sick of the normal frilly, frothy things” after she wore the dress, she thought the world knew where Australia is. World is talking about the dress as it is elegance, simple sexy and with a Spanish sensibility.

Sonia chose to wear the dress because it is unique in design, also it is able to convey the idea of confidence in woman. It is telling people that the dress owner if a self confident woman with power and intelligence. And the design idea has affected lot of fashion designer later as more and more celebrities would bravely show their perfect body curves and shapes by wearing these designer clothing.
