Fashion Means the World Runway Photos

Last night Tania & I made our way to Fashion Means the World, hosted by the fantastic Claire and Lucinda. Thankfully Wayne was on hand to take shots of the parade (featuring Joolz, Eco Girl, MüCKE, Chic Aktivist and Moneypenny) and the great looking crowd. His shots now available in the Fashion Diary.

Be sure to check out all the photos from the Fashion Means the World Parade.

Midnight Fashion returns to Melbourne

Last year, Midnight Fashion launched it's first Melbourne event - and the response was so huge people were left queuing in the street to get in. So when the second event in the Midnight Fashion series hits town on Friday March 28th, it promises a bigger venue, better runway, improved door policy, and even more entertainment.

The event will showcase 10 of Melbourne's upcoming designer talents at The Royal Melbourne Hotel on Bourke Street. It's a great excuse to frock up (or suit up), have a few drinks, mingle with other fashion-lovers, and check out some new designs.

Fashion@Fed Square: Moomba Meltdown

Mark it in your diaries, Melbourne fashionisers - the Fashion @ Fed Square breakthrough program is back for 2008.

March 13th will kick off the year's events with 'Moomba Meltdown' - a unique fusion of street and contemporary fashion design by seven hot new designers. Models, stay tuned to the job board and newsletter for your opportunity to be cast in the parade.

More details about the event can be found in the City Guides.

LMFF Runway Deluxe for charity

While the fashion industry often holds events which benefit charities, these are, for the most part, closed events. LMFF, L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival will, however, give Melbourne fashionisers the opportunity to get their dose of fashion all while helping the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. And there's an added bonus: international designers.

One of the most difficult aspects of fashion weeks across Australia is that they often feature only local designers. And while that still provides amazing clothes on the catwalk, there's more of a buzz to be felt in seeing new collections from bigger names. The 'Runway Deluxe' charity event will include the likes of DKNY, Donna Karan, Hugo Boss, and Moschino.

Batmania comes to Melbourne

Did you know that Melbourne, Australia was at one time called "Batmania"? Named, of course, after Batman. True story!

Now before I tell you about this Saturday's fashion event of the same name, I should probably just clarify that we were talking about John Batman, one of the city's founders, and not the superhero. (Yeah I know, not quite as cool.)

But anyway, Batmania the event will be very cool - it's supporting TLC for Kids, with parades from some of Melbourne's best designer talents. On the program are Trimapee (who wowed us at their A/W08 launch), Leopold, Dhini, and MaterialByProduct.

Darium, Emily Jane and Anna Campbell Parade

You are invited... to view the Spring / Summer collections of three amazing Melbourne designers - Darium, Emily Jane Lingerie and Fashioniser Anna Campbell! The parade will start at 9.30pm at The Saint hotel in St Kilda.
