In Conversation with Romance Was Born

Join us on the opening day of new HOTA Gallery exhibition Ken Done: No Rules for an exciting conversation with visionary fashion duo Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales behind label Romance Was Born. Explore how they drew inspiration from Done’s vibrant works to create a dazzling, otherworldly collection that celebrates the best of Australiana and creative freedom.

Romance Was Born has redefined the boundaries between fashion, art, and storytelling. Known for their imaginative world-building, intricate hand-crafted details, and theatrical flair, Romance Was Born brings Ken Done’s signature colour, joy, and optimism to life in extraordinary new ways.

Through stories of collaboration and behind-the-scenes insights, this conversation promises to be a rich celebration of fearless expression, artistic legacy, and the transformative power of fashion. Don’t miss this vibrant, dynamic dialogue that brings together two Australian icons in a joyful explosion of creativity.
