NATIONAL: Retail stores will soon no longer bear his name, but that hasn't stopped Peter Morrissey from sampling other fashion ventures.
The fashion designer has been commissioned to create uniforms for staff at fast chain giant McDonald's. The commission followed news earlier this year that fashion group M Webster Holdings, which had owned the Peter Morrissey label since 2006, would gradually close its small network of 'Morrissey' stores across Australia.
Morrisey's latest commission would represent his first venture into uniforms, having created corporate attire for staff at airline provider Qantas.
As reported in Ragtrader magazine, couture designer Daniel Avakian had also entered the restaurant game this year with a major uniform commission for high-end Sydney restaurant Rockpool Bar & Grill.
