Streetwear - Auckland Street Photography

In this episode of Ngako: The Collections Talk, we delve into two significant photographic collections, Rykenberg Photography and the 1990 Project, to show how street photography can help us examine social history.
Through a selection of a few favourite photos, heritage collections librarian Renée Orr and NZ Fashion Museum’s Doris de Pont look at the fashion landscapes of central city Auckland in the 1960s and 1990s, with an additional nod to the richness of local magazines of the time.

This was fabulous. Thank you to all the researchers and historians who see the value in collecting, collating. and documenting information and images
of how we once lived. As years go by their work will become even more valuable and continue to be richly appreciated by future generations.
