Iconic Australian fashion designer and business woman, Carla Zampatti will be staging a gala evening in the Great Hall of the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) in celebration of her 50th year in the Australian fashion industry.
 
Commencing in 1965, Carla Zampatti soon established a loyal following for her streamlined designs with an emphasis on tailoring. Women were moving in to the work force and the growing momentum of the women’s lib movement was the perfect timing for women looking for a new wardrobe to represent the times.
