Fame Agenda hosted a fabulous collection launch Friday evening with fashion forward label Leonard St. Just doors down from their Level 2, bustling Melbourne Central store, a walkway transformed into a runway with stage and a talented acapella guitarist keeping us entertained as we took our seats.
Kicking of the launch was Leonard St [...]
Fame Agenda & Leonard St
Killer Queen presented by Thread Den
Prologue; An empty stage, a piano trio warming up, a restive audience flipping through Frankie magazine. On stage a lone powder blue tutu, a pair of red high heels.
Act 1
The lights go down and two dancers emerge, twirling around in their underwear: he in simple black briefs; she in stripy bloomers and matching [...]
Fashion Revealed
Returning to the official schedule for Melbourne Spring Fashion Week in 2009, Fashion Revealed once again presented a handful of local designer labels to a design-receptive audience. Aiming to showcase the talents of mostly local Asian designers the show included looks from labels such as Thrill, Stand, Notre Dame de Paris and Soho [...]
High Fashion, High Tea
Opening Fashionising’s High Fashion, High Tea, Gwendolynne’s collection – there’s no other way to put it – was enchanting. Neutral hued silks were highly embellished with silver lace, pearls and beading and were capped off by headwear from Richard Nylon (Gwendolynne’s frequent design partner in crime).
Nicola Finetti stayed true to form with short [...]
Fashion at Altitude at Melbourne’s GPO
I confess I was on double duty at the Fashion at Altitude parades last week; both checking it all out in my capacity as editor of StyleMelbourne and also slipping into my role as community manager (basically in charge of writing/running their snazzy new website) for Melbourne’s GPO. So I guess that’s the disclosure thing [...]

The collection [...]

Meet Me at St Pats

We’ve followed Landell Designs with a Gala at the Gallery in gowns, we’ve Explored the Fashion Artery in flirty frocks, we’ve [...]
The Naked Truth
The Order of Melbourne transformed to host ‘The Naked Truth’ for Melbourne Spring Fashion Week. The provocative name of the event, instantly invited a number of connotations – some that turned out to be more literal than others. While every participant was indeed clothed, the show attempted to strip away the mystery that [...]
Pandora’s Wonderland Spring Fashion & Racing Carnival Launch
Pandora’s Wonderland showcased race wear, racier lingerie, resort wear and menswear. Atop these designers collections sat the works of the extraordinarily talented Melbourne milliner Marilena Romeo.
