Join us for a night of fashion, photography and history as we welcome Jane Malthus to talk about Central Otago Couture, created alongside photographer Derek Henderson and curator Claire Regnault. You'll get a once-in-a-lifetime behind-the-scenes insight into the beautiful book published by Te Papa.
