Pamela Easton and Lydia Pearson’s designs were cutting edge from the time they opened their independent Brisbane boutique in 1987. By the time they shut shop in 2016, Easton Pearson was a hugely successful international brand.
After closing, their archive, comprising more than 3300 garments and 5000 objects, accessories and ephemera, was given a home at the Museum of Brisbane.
