DANCING WITH BROAD SHOULDERS by Lauren Brincat 2025

Dancing with Broad Shoulders. Lauren Brincat 2025. Silk, Japanese Indigo, Upcycyed Dyed Nylon, Cotton

We often say, “Would you like me to pop that in the change room?” but what we’re really saying is this:

I hope that when you try this on, it helps you feel like the person you want to be—or the person you already are, highlighted in neon pink! May it give you the confidence to step into the best version of yourself, or simply let the garment be your costume for the day. No one truly needs new garments, but these are forever pieces. What you buy might one day end up on your daughter, your best friend, or your mum. We all take turns wearing them.

So much happens in the change room—it’s where we talk about our lives, our families, and, yes, sometimes our arms! It’s like therapy, but with the reward at the end: the pleasure of finding that perfect piece that makes you feel confident and good.

It’s like stepping onto a stage, where you change into something that brings out a new version of you. It’s not just about trying on a new piece of clothing—a perfect white T-shirt with just the right length of sleeve, or a dress with pockets—it’s a bit of theatre, where the right garment releases the best version of yourself.

We hope these new art curtains provide the perfect backdrop for your next visit.
Poepke director's Nicola Lie and Juliet Kember have long been fans of Lauren Brincat and her work, including ’Tutti Presto fff’ and the collaborative set design of ‘The Shell, A Ghost, The Host & The Lyrebird’. "We were so moved by the colours, sound and movement, we wondered how we could incorporate some of Lauren's beauty into our store. The fitting room curtains felt like the perfect way to do it! When we have the back door open, with the breeze coming through, and the curtains dancing, we have our own fabric score! "

Special thanks to Lisa Dwyer for her work on the project.
