Demna has conceptualised the tripe out of another Balenciaga un-runway - dishing a doctorate’s worth of frocky bollocks that I’m waaaay too tired to dissect but - strike me pink! oh! the clothes! I’m put in mind of a homie Herman Munster, a gothly Grace of Monaco, a technicolor Morticia Adams with a side of Wednesday. Vogue’s Sarah Mower did all the work for us, bless: https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2022-ready-to-wear/balenciaga?utm_source=nl&utm_brand=vogue&utm_mailing=VOG_Runway_060721_PM&utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm_medium=email&bxid=5fc0d000046fb146f7479b57&cndid=27085870&hasha=a0d28e3f30f90fe8d94682f3db12cde5&hashb=e5a23008a829c12dbf78982308d22e725eb59570&hashc=7cb1a7d22b40b859bb4fd86282c9557eee5d4aa8a3c9f850e0a4ba96fbca658f&esrc=article-newsletter&utm_term=VOG_Runway #balenciaga #wouldyoulikeacomplicatedtheoryonfakerywiththatfrock? #demnagvasalia #runway https://www.instagram.com/p/CP2Mxltj8Vh/?utm_medium=tumblr

At Bright Space gallery a familiar smile, a cloud of sugary curls. Prue Acton’s “Yellow Works” are testament to the fashion legend’s first love and rich secondary career. “The Colourist” as she is known, labours pastel layers with her fingers “I don’t like brushes..”, rubbing, coaxing, feathering her intuitively picked palette into the subtle depths of flower or fruit or crockery or cloth. #Lovelyonsteroids.

Not your average as frockshows go; the State Library’s La Trobe Reading Room is as salubrious as it is spectacular, if a tad odd for us fond of its usually shushy quiet. #wintercollections #floorsweepercoats #flaggedpants #trapezefrocks #midriffchops #biascuts #whitewhitewhite #beigebeigebeige #peachblueandblacktoo #melbourne #melbournefashionfestival #fashion #autumnwinter #runway @arnsdorf @scanlantheodore @viktoriaandwoods @_aje_ @bassike @leemathewsau (at State Library Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMhSVOljil0/?igshid=1xsbnnwdlbahd

From a forgettable year sprang joy unbridled in Nevada Duffy’s atelier. Up now on Voxfrock, a slice of the designer’s life, the night she set a band of dancing models loose in downtown Clifton Hill launching another clever collection and spanking new bricks and mortar (yes!) eponymous retail store. Our marvellously talented Voxfrock Rookies, writer Atusa (last picture) and photographer Reannon (second last picture) were on assignment for your daily coverage of the Melbourne Fashion Festival. Lucky you.

20 years since a Sydney writer bagged their Australian Fashion Week show, Melbourne’s iconic design duo Denise Sprynskyj and Peter Boyd of S!X are still happily flummoxing their critics and conjuring new concepts of beauty and cool. At their Melbourne Fashion Festival show Voxfrock Rookies Chrissy Dore (pictures) and Eleanor Smith (words) found poetry in S!X’s latest project “Mal de Mer” (seasickness) a quest for joys and new concepts in a shipwreck of a year. Congratulations Chrissy and Eleanor!

My treat.😊 Backstory of my cover story. For Saturday Age’s Spectrum arts and culture section today, Simon Schluter encapsulates the Doo-runrunfun of Bendigo Art Gallery’s “Mary Quant: Fashion Revolutionary” exhibition launching as the Melbourne Fashion Festival closes with a bang next weekend. Simon scouted not only our suppleaspagetti model Kelly Byrne but this miraculous little Quantesque frocklet and authenticoriginalactual Quant batwinged suit and accessories through stylist/owner of Once More with Feeling vintage store, Jo-Ann Armstrong and the renowned connoisseur and collector of significant Australian Fashion, Tom McEvoy. I swear this time the pingping spotonness of it all brought tears. 💘 FYI the story’s online here: https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/amp.smh.com.au/culture/art-and-design/what-did-you-wear-in-the-revolution-gran-how-mary-quant-set-women-free-20210308-p578r9.html but I’d love youze to buy an actual paper for this spesh Spectrum cover. Another gorgeous gig from fave ed Lindy Percival that spun into interviews with the legendary Prue Acton and daughters of the 1960s youth quake and “women’s lib” revolution still chiming so (#metoocanberra) ickily today.

Way to strum my strings; 25 Melbournians on the ballroom runway at our iconic annual kneezup for the Melbourne Fashion Festival hosted by Vic’s Gov Linda Dessau and her ever charming Mr. Gov. I’ve covered every one of this gig’s 25 years, as a fashion editor for most, board director the past five, and among its most memorable ups and downs this was most thrillingly a heartswelling UP. #melbournefashionfestival #mff25years #melbournestyle #melbournefashion (at Government House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLsNiTdjLIH/?igshid=1a5d368wj2ogn

She’s gobsmackingly gorgeous and ready for you now. UK wunderkind Richard Quinn’s pearly queen is A Lovely Thing, tucked into the NGV’s vast and marvellous Triennial exhibition but, frustratingly (quelle horreurdanightmare) too many of my Nearest and Dearest have missed her altogether in their haste to get around the whole Tri-shebang in a couple of hours. (🙄) The unmissable Miss Quinn’s backstory, including chatettes with Richard and the lovely Dani Whitfield curator, written for The Saturday Age/SMH Spectrum section is on Voxfrock now. #linkinbio @theageaustralia @ngvmelbourne @richardquinn #fashion #avantegarde #emergingfashion #melbournelife #triennial #pearlyqueen #couture #handcraftedfashion (at NGV Triennial) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK4osYqjfP2/?igshid=133lu3tvm9736

Blown away by Melbourne Fashion Week’s rabbithole/rollercoaster menu online, from utterly simple digital runways to sublimely mesmerising works such as Justin Ridler and Sarah Woodall’s for J’Aton (first image) and Maticevski (second). I do bang on I know (decades!) but I’ll call it one more time: scaling creative heights, hitting the zeitgeist zenith, is a particularly Melbourne thang and every brick branch and stitch of our local fashion and related creative industries should be uniquely celebrated supported funded and understood for the worldclass cottagecluster they are. @melbfashionweek @justinridler @eventgallery #melbourne #creativemelbourne #fashion #localfashion #raretalent #melbournestyle (at Melbourne Fashion Week) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH9R-WXj73i/?igshid=qgopgdagqphk
