Monash University Museum of Art | MUMA presents the first exhibition of Australian, New York-based designer Visnja Brdar. Having worked across fashion, architecture, product design, real estate and beauty, Brdar’s practice is exemplified by its independence, simplicity and dynamism. The exhibition, the first solo survey of a woman designer in an Australian institution, will draw on Brdar’s archive and celebrate her important role in contemporary design communication.

This exhibition is curated by Hannah Mathews, Director/CEO, Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA).

Visnja Brdar

Australian born Visnja Brdar launched her own creative studio in Melbourne, at the age of twenty-two, to give vision to her creations. Australia’s top brands would soon become her clients, including The Sydney Opera House and Marc Newson. Her ambition led her to New York, to work with Fabien Baron as an Art Director for Michael Kors, Jil Sander, Giorgio Armani and Nars Cosmetics among others. She re-established her namesake creative agency BRDAR in New York in 2003. BRDAR’s clientele are in the fields of lifestyle, fashion, beauty, art, architecture and real estate, from Estée Lauder to Bumble & Bumble and New York developer Zeckendorf.
