Dress Code — She Codes Edition
Worn by Kate at the She Codes Australia graduation in Perth, this dress brings together code, craft, and local innovation. Created in collaboration with She Codes students, the piece began as a digital fashion experiment and evolved into a dynamic garment with multiple lives. It can be worn as a sleek little black dress, lit up with embedded LED elements, or reimagined with floral embroidery for a softer, more expressive finish. Made in structured scuba cotton, the dress reflects the creative energy of Perth's tech and design community, where women in technology are not just learning to code, but shaping what innovation can look like. Photographed with Stephen Dawson, WA Minister for Innovation, the dress moved from experiment to stage: a wearable celebration of local talent, collaborative making, and the future of fashion in Western Australia.
