LMFF Runway Deluxe for charity
Written by Daniel P Dykes
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.
Adding to the night will be a silver supper designed by Guy Grossi, social lubrication from Champagne Devaux, and a special performance by singer Kate Ceberano.
Tickets are available from Ticketmaster for $250.
