Fashioning Melbourne
Where is your favourite place to shop? Janice Breen-Burns’ chosen shopping destination relates to her mood – if she wants a “hyped up, glossy experience” she will hit the new luxury precinct at Chadstone Shopping Centre. For quirky boutiques and an “espresso crawl” the fashion editor will stick to the inner city lane-ways, whereas Debra [...]

L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival; Runway 4
Runway 4, the halfway mark of LMFF, a day at the end of a long Melbourne summer with dazzling orange skies glinting over the sultry sway of the sea. The line up of designers read like a who’s who of Department Store Royalty – each designer being backed by either Myer or David Jones. We [...]
