Fashion is about to become even more delicious. The gluttonous gala event that is Eat Street returns for 2011 with a retro twist. On the evening of Tuesday 21st June, the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins (25 Collins Street, Melbourne) ballroom will be transformed into a 1950′s dream as 40 of our best eateries and chefs – think Phillip Mouchel, Shane Delia and George Calombaris – establish temporary pop-up restaurants for the night.
This year ten Australian designers/labels have taken inspiration from the dishes served up to create one-off aprons; Sass & Bide, Gwendolynne, rising star Jack Loder, Fleur Wood, Megan Park, Mimco, LIFEwithBIRD, Nicholas Morley, Willow & Alice McCall. The aprons will be auctioned off among other wonderful treats for the Australian Childhood Foundation.
