Today our teams are proudly celebrating Wear it Purple Day in support of safe and inclusive environments for rainbow young people. Our teams kicked off the day with vibrant purple-themed morning teas with many wearing a splash of purple to show their support and solidarity and extend this spirit through our stores. Matthew Hampton, e-Commerce Trade Coordinator and member of our Diversity and Inclusion Allyship team loves the meaning behind Wear it Purple Day. “Wear it Purple Day is a powerful reminder of our commitment to fostering a culture where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered. This year’s theme, ‘My Passion, My Pride,’ underscores the importance of validating our emotions, thoughts, and actions while celebrating the pride we have in who we are and who we represent. It’s about standing together to ensure that every individual can thrive every day.” At David Jones, we are committed to celebrating and actively promoting diversity in our culture every day. Wear it Purple Day serves as a reminder of our dedication to creating an environment where every voice is heard and every individual is respected. #wearitpurple #inclusivity #likenooother

This week we were honoured to host 400 of our brand partners for our annual Brand Partner Conference in a hybrid session held at the incredible Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.   The afternoon was an opportunity for David Jones leaders to celebrate the achievements of the past year, share our investment strategy and plans for the future and hear from our partners on their priorities.   We also invited Anthony Chesler from community organisation Thread Together to share the work we’re partnering on together to provide clothing to people impacted by natural disasters.   We are proud to partner with world class brands both locally and globally, together creating a shopping destination to inspire for our customers. 

'David Jones and the Powerhouse Museum are both iconic Australian institutions that are deeply embedded into our collective memories. As Australia’s leading museum of applied arts and applied sciences, the Powerhouse is custodian to Australia’s most important collections of applied arts, and the David Jones archive will extend the significance of our collections for our audiences and communities.' - Powerhouse Chief Executive Lisa Havilah Nine's Mike Dalton captures the magic of David Jones as we celebrate the acquisition of the David Jones archive into the Powerhouse Collection.

Today, we proudly announced the donation of the David Jones archive to the Powerhouse – preserving and amplifying our 186-year-old history and marking the beginning of a partnership with the 143-year-old museum.    The archive, which features a vast collection of preserved artefacts and documents dating back to the early 1800s, reveals several pieces that showcase the remarkable history and enduring impact we have had on Australian identity, thought and opinion. The partnership will also see us invest into the next generation of Australian designers by establishing the David Jones and Powerhouse Australian Design Commission.    “David Jones shares a foundation of innovation and progress with the Powerhouse and a commitment to preserving and celebrating the stories that have helped shape our communities' cultural fabric," said our CEO, Scott Fyfe. To celebrate the partnership, Powerhouse curators unveiled a temporary exhibition ‘Like No Other – Celebrating an Australian Icon’ at our Elizabeth Street Flagship in Sydney featuring a small collection of items from the archives.    #likenoother
