Kimbra at NGV Gala

The NGV announced today Grammy Award-winning musician and style icon Kimbra will perform at the inaugural NGV Gala, a special black-tie evening featuring art, fashion, music, fine wine and food, where visitors will enjoy exclusive first access to world premiere exhibition The House of Dior: Seventy Years of Haute Couture, on Saturday 26 August 2017 at NGV International.

Especially designed for the inaugural NGV Gala, celebrated florist Flowers Vasette will create extraordinary, large-scale and eye-catching floral installations, captivating guests' imaginations upon entry as they arrive on the David Jones red carpet.
