The fully illustrated story of one of the most successful Australian fashion houses of the last 15 years. Romance Was Born collections are lavish, larger than life, iconic and iconoclastic, and this gorgeous book is a celebration of this unique Australian vision, created by two young designers who declined an internship with Galliano at Dior to 'do their own thing'. The designs of Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales have included collaborations with Jenny Kee, Linda Jackson, Marvel and Lego, and their creations have been worn by Cate Blanchett, Beyonce, Cyndi Lauper and Daphne Guinness, and are included in collections at the NGV and The Powerhouse.
