Members Hour: Elizabeth Bay House for Treading Feintly
Welcome to Members Hour at Elizabeth Bay House for Treading Feintly.
Artist Adrian Feint (1894–1971), an Elizabeth Bay local who lived for many years across the road from Elizabeth Bay House, inspired Australian fashion house Nicol & Ford’s latest collection – Feint. The collection celebrates the coded aestheticism of Feint’s works and shines a light on this underappreciated queer figure. On display throughout the beautiful spaces of Elizabeth Bay House are select pieces from Feint, Nicol & Ford’s Australian Fashion Week 2026 runway presentation.
To compliment, a curation of Adrian Feint artwork, who is best known for his stylised floral still-life works, will also be on display. Find these in the Breakfast Room.
Enjoy an afternoon viewing of Nicol & Ford’s sculptural, high-concept pieces, Adrian Feint’s art and light refreshments served in the Dining Room.
Bookings essential; registrations open soon.
