Amy Marlene Forbes is a Melbourne-based cross-disciplinary curator and fashion designer whose practice centres on storytelling, slow design, and the evidence of hand. Working across art and design, she explores the porous boundaries between object, garment, and installation.
Drawing from historical and mythological sources, Amy’s work engages with nostalgia, decay, transience, and the subversion of beauty. Her practice examines imperfection and ethereal aesthetics, inviting critical curiosity and dialogue.
After co-running the fashion label Veils of Cirrus for five years, she is now focused on expanding her curatorial practice. Her work encompasses collection management, exhibition production, installation, and design, underpinned by a commitment to materiality, process, and narrative.
