I, along with so many of my peers here in Australia, am a child of a migrant. Perhaps this is why we are so drawn to tales of industry and pioneering spirit — of people that packed up all their worldly possessions and left everything and everyone they ever knew behind in the hope of something better for themselves and their families; those daring enough to try their luck on foreign shores. Born and raised in Brisbane Australia, the names and locations featured in What Will Be Worn : A McWhirters Story are deeply familar to me.

Sometimes it seems the most invaluable stories can be found in the unlikeliest of corners. For all who know Brisbane, McWhirters, a once celebrated department store in Fortitude Valley, is an icon. For Melissa Fagan it is also the starting point for this remarkable exploration of her mother and grandmother's lives, and a poignant reminder of the ways in which retail stores and fashion have connected women's lives across decades. Behind the dusty shop counters of an Art Deco treasure, Fagan discovers both what has been lost and continues to shine. Ultimately this tender exploration of self and family, so exquisitely written, speaks of the ways in which life so often surprises us and of how the legacies of others can truly enrich our own relationships and lives.
