CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE ONLINE AUCTION
As well as the displays and programme of events that will happen as part of the exhibition, all the gowns included in Till Death Us Do Part (as well as a few extras!) will be auctioned off at the conclusion of the show.
The silent auction of the collection will run online, so anyone in the world will be able to bid on a beautiful piece of New Zealand’s textile history, whether they want to wear it on their special day or simply admire it hanging in their wardrobe!
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the collection will go to The Aunties – an organisation which provides sustained support for women and children who have experienced domestic violence. The Aunties believe in manaakitanga - protecting the mana of the people they help so that they can find their way towards living independently, with dignity and joy.
Rose Jackson says; “Over thirty wedding dresses is a ridiculous number for any one person to own and not everyone’s marriage or partnership is a joyful one, so I am delighted to auction these gorgeous gowns off and that part of the funds raised from sale of the collection will benefit and support the vitally important work The Aunties do for people who need help in our community”.
