DESIGNER INFORMATION: House of Lucas was established by founder Eleanor Lucas in 1888 was a small enterprise manufacturing clothing created in order to support herself and her six young children. Later, with success came the development of commercial relationships with American undergarment firm Vanity Fair (Lucas manufactured Vanity Fair undergarments for the local Australian market) and French couture house Pierre Cardin - thereby dramatically increasing the House’s prestige and exclusivity, A garment exhibit in the National Gallery of Victoria can be seen here and an article regarding an exhibit of the design house in Ballarat can be found here.
