What is the history of Canberra Fashion? Canberra fashion history is really a history of the social trends very much inlfluenced by the surrounding areas. Canberra fashion history is probably very influenced by the nature of what Canberra itself actually is for. As an adminstrative centre of Australian government there is likely to have been quite a conservative style particularly during the week.

Canberra history in started back in 1911 ( when Canberra first came in to existance as the capital of Australia) and hence the fashions associated were influenced by the fashions at that time. Canberra fashion history can be considered in those periods such as the 1920s, 30s, 1940s, 50s, '60s, 70s and 80s and 90s. The National Archives has a travelling photographic show case of some of the historical accounts of fashion during the 60s an 70s.
