THE VICTORIA CASCAJO COLLECTION LOTS 38-50
When considering Melbourne couture royalty, Victoria Cascajo is one of a handful of designers that have shaped the Australian fashion history. Starting her career with Spanish Fashion house Balenciaga, she migrated to Australia in the 1960s and established her own boutique in South Yarra named Balenica, no doubt a nod to the beginnings of her career and to her mentor. Over her career, Cascajo was awarded various accolades for her race day designs, however she was best known for her daring design created for Lady Sonia McMahon in 1971, wife of then Prime Minister William McMahon, and worn to the White House for a state dinner with President Richard Nixon. The dress is still considered to be one of the most daring outfits to have been worn to the white house to this day and became a global sensation. Like many designers, her exceptional taste was not exclusive to her own creations, and her Spanish roots fuelled her inclination to European flair for traditional statuary and particularly her love of Italian Blackamoor sculptures. ©Rennie Ellis/ Pictures Collection, State Library of Victoria
