📀 ABOUT TANZER
Tanzer is a musician, artist, DJ and creative director based in Melbourne. With a perfectly-lacquered finger in the world of music, art, fashion and beauty, Tanzer's adventures often combine disco, 90s dance, Euro soundtracks and 'space opera' vocals.

🖤 ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Pairing two of the most influential fashion designers in recent history, Vivienne Westwood and Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons, Westwood | Kawakubo showcases over 140 designs that explore the commonalities and differences between the two designers’ work.
