Sydney Design 2010 is set to stimulate and create conversation around design. This year’s festival theme ‘Tell us a story’ pays homage to the diversity of stories that inform the work of so many designers.

Festival highlights at the Powerhouse Museum this year include the popular Young Blood: Designers Market, as well as local speakers and an international guest, tours and workshops.

A wealth of stories will be enjoyed in the Museum’s key festival exhibition titled Creating the look: fashion, fantasy, fiction featuring Bruno and Hazel Benini’s elegantly crafted fashion photographs. The Melbourne-based fashion photographer and his wife combined careful styling, composition and design to create some of Australia’s most memorable fashion images.
