CBA
Dressed For Success
CBA has a dedicated curatorial exhibition space within its commercial office building, Commonwealth Bank Place South, in Sydney’s Darling Quarter. The space consists of several purpose built, glass display boxes, to showcase and celebrate CBA’s heritage and innovation.
Managed by CBA’s Property team and supported by the Bank’s Archives team, Collider sourced archival photographs, staff clothing catalogues, and CommBank's quarterly staff magazine, Bank Notes (which ran from 1918 to 1991) to create an exhibition that represents the evolving nature of corporate banking uniform over the past 120 years.
Bespoke miniature mannequins were carefully crafted to fit the existing display cases and provided the base scale for the miniaturised clothing. Uniforms from seven historical time periods were selected in collaboration with the CBA Archives team. Each setting was meticulously created to echo the atmosphere of the time period.
