James Dobson by Ted Black
Do we feel optimistic? Wellington fashion creatives discuss the state of the industry.
In August 2024 The Dowse Art Museum’s Gemma Browne met with an intersection of Wellington’s fashion scene to talk business, creativity, art and community. In the workrooms of designers James Dobson of Jimmy D and Julia Palm of JPalm, the group sat down over delicious take-out from Mabel’s and spent hours discussing the current state of fashion – and all that business entails – in Wellington, New Zealand, and further afield. Attending were James Dobson, Julia Palm, Jessie Wong of Yu Mei, Otsu’s Yuka Maud, designer Millar Boddington, stylist Chloe Hill and Hannah Sullivan of Sully’s.
