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. Fashionisers get a special rate on tickets for the event - so head to StickyTickets.com.au to snap some up before they sell out. You can also check out more details of the event in the City Guides. Fashion@Fed Square: Moomba MeltdownMark 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: Hardy Brothers hint at what's to comeOne of the things I'm really looking forward to for L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF) this year is high tea at Hardy Brothers jewellery. I can give you a few reasons why - like the fact that they have a Royal Warrant (the only Australian company to have one); and the fact that I love high tea as much as the next girl. Mostly though, it's because their jewellery is just stunning. On Valentine's Day Hardy Brothers celebrated their status as Platinum Partner of LMFF by hosting a luxurious cocktail party in Sydney. A promising hint of what's to come when the festival hits Melbourne.
LMFF Runway Deluxe for charity
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. Sex and the City Movie: trying too hard?Many girls (and guys) are avidly and anxiously awaiting the release of the big screen version of Sex and the City (see the full forum thread of images from the movie here). Well renowned as being an inspiration for it's costume and styling, the TV series saw many trends shoot to mainstream consumption, and had women world-wide pining for the clothes, lifestyles, and fashion-senses of the show's four main characters. But will the Sex and the City movie live up to this reputation?
Free movie tickets: The Jane Austen Book Club
If you didn't catch the memo in our fortnightly fashion newsletter, we're giving away 30 double passes for Australian members to see The Jane Austen Book Club. The movie stars Emily Blunt, Maria Bello, Hugh Dancy, Maggie Grace, Kathy Baker and Amy Brenneman, and will definitely be worth checking out. Visit the forum thread for details on how to enter. Six book club members, six Austen books, six interwoven story lines over six months in the busy modern setting of Sacramento, where city and suburban sprawl meet natural beauty. While the contemporary stories never slavishly parallel the Austen plots, the six characters find echoes, predictions, warnings and wisdom about their own trajectories within Austen's beloved narratives... The film opens in Australia on January 31, 2008. Visit www.JaneAustenBookClub.com.au to see the trailer. Fashion in film - 1930s glamour in AtonementI went to to see Atonement last night. Now, I don't usually write about films here but the costume design in Atonement was so beautiful, I just had to bring it to your attention. Keira Knightley's Cecilia looked amazing - in everything from a 30s style swimsuit and cap to a striking emerald green dress accessories by diamond hair-pin and diamond cuff.
I can't imagine anyone but Keira Knightley playing Cecilia - the delicate bone structure, the big and classically beautiful features, work so well. She exudes the qualities of the archetypal 1930s woman as we think of her - soft in looks but strong in character. New Years Fashion Resolutions for 2008
Ready for the Boxing Day sales?Admittedly our shopping for Christmas isn't quite done, but that doesn't stop us looking forward to the Boxing Day sales. Second only to the mid-year stock take sales, Boxing Days sales are an opportunity to fill out your wardrobe with some very select pieces, at some very special prices. If you're braving the crowds this Boxing Day, be sure to keep an eye on our fashion sales forum where we're already tracking the Boxing Day sales. If you know of any, please be sure to add them to the list! We're dreaming of a fashionable ChristmasIf you're keeping your eye on the front page of Fashionising.com, or a calendar, you'll be well aware that Christmas is less than 4 sleeps away. With 2007 seeing us celebrate our first Christmas, we've been bringing you a fashionable Christmas gift guide each day since late November. We've also brought you Fashionising.com's first pictorial; Escape.
The amount of work that has gone into Escape, it's promotion of Fashionising, and the fact that we have a newsletter going out this weekend, has meant that we're a little beat today. So instead of us recommending gifts, or impart similar knowledge, you can consider Escape our gift to you our loyal member and fashioniser. But if you are after some Christmas gift ideas for the weekend, why not look back on our recommendations since November? |

Making resolutions is part of the fun of entering a brand new year! Even if we never actually stick to them... hmm, but I digress. There are times when we can stick to them and the year is all the more better for it. Resolutions can be about all sorts of things, whether it's to do with your health, your social life, your work or your education. But we here are all about fashion, so if you're looking to add a few fashion-related resolutions to your New Year's list we thought we'd give you some ideas.
