What could be more iconic in the prolific landscape of Aussie fashion than the ubiquitous trackie (except maybe a pair of ugg’s and a T-shirt that says ‘The Big Banana Down Under’)? In his debut exhibition, renowned fashion photographer Harold David showcases the comfiest of all apparel as seen on the real life folk of St Marys in Sydney’s western suburbs.

The collection of 70 images titled Tracksuits of St Marys is an authentic yet understated portrayal of a very raw and real suburban landscape. Set to open at CarriageWorks in August, Tracksuits of St Marys is a chronicle of the everyman, a barefaced portrait of suburbia and an ode to the beloved trackie in all it’s renditions.

Join the artist Harold David and the curator of Tracksuits of St Marys
for a free tour and talk on Saturday 15 August at 11am or Saturday 29
August at 11am. No need to book, just turn up. Tour participants should
gather near the info desk in the CarriageWorks foyer.
