Book Description

Publication Date: January 2000 | ISBN-10: 0868246824 | ISBN-13: 978-0868246826

Every year the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade transforms the streets of Sydney into a colourful and noisy spectacle, celebrating the pride, diversity and creativity of gay men and lesbians. Like the exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum on which it is based, this book focuses on the extraordinary costumes made for Mardi Gras and showcases some of the most prominent designers. It goes behind the scenes of the Mardi Gras Workshop where so many wonderful floats and props have been created and explains how Mardi Gras has grown from a radical political march to become world famous. Full of colour photographs, the book covers 20 years of the parade - from fraught to fabulous!
