Governor-General Sam Mostyn AC wore a custom-made The Social Outfit suit at her Swearing-in Ceremony. Made for and paid for by Sam Mostyn, the making of the suit has supported the upskilling of our team of refugee women. Bianca Spender, The Social Outfit Ambassador and a favourite designer of Sam Mostyn, kindly donated one of her designs for the suit. The suit was made from fabric donated by Bec Bridge by Xiuyan Han, who is employed as a Senior Sewing Technician at The Social Outfit. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gzAGqgBH

Love The Social Outfit! I get compliments every time I wear one of my pieces - and I always tell the story of where it came from. 💜

For once I’m excited to see conversation about one of our female leaders outfit choice! How wonderful.

I wondered where she got her outfit as it showed fine tailoring, excellent fit and balance between the jacket and the flattering flair of her pants. Great to see that the skills of migrant workers are being utilised and valued. 40 years ago my talented mother who trained as a seamstress was an exploited migrant outworker. Surely you would think it doesn't happen now.... think again. https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/pm/clothing-industry-outworker-exploitation/104032886. Capitalism and greed know no bounds. I cried when I heard this.
