# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Sweet Stuff – Fashion as Confection
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 27 Nov, 2025 at 12:30 am – Thu, 27 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 am
- **Event Description**: Opening on Friday 31 October, 'The Sweet Stuff' explores fashion as confection: both the craft of making and the pleasures of indulgence. In French, “confection” means to assemble or tailor, while in English it evokes sweets—liquorice allsorts, humbugs, piped icing. This double meaning has inspired an installation where garments are imagined as visual confections: colourful, excessive, and delightful.

Drawing from the National Trust’s Fashion and Costume Collection, the display ranges from nineteenth-century silhouettes to twentieth-century couture, highlighting cycles of repetition and reinvention. Fashion here is presented not as mere utility, but as play and expression

Just like a sweet, fashion can be fleeting and indulgent, yet it lingers in memory. The Sweet Stuff celebrates that pleasure—revealing that the most joyful, playful garments also carry lasting cultural meaning.

Set within Tasma Terrace, the National Trust’s Head Office has been reimagined as a creative and dynamic space for installations, shopping, and learning.
