State of Design Festival 2009: Melbourne
Written by Tania Braukamper
Melbourne's State of Design Festival is almost upon us - and it's a perfect opportunity to step beyond the realms of fashion and explore other aspects of design, from architecture to technology to industrial design and everything in between. During the festival, Melbourne Open House will unlock some of the city's most magnificent architectural secrets; the festival's Speaker Series will host talks from over 20 influential people of the international design world; while This is Not a Design Market will cover a 2000 square meter warehouse space with fashion, jewellery, art, furniture and more. And those are just to name a few.
There's so much on the program this year that the only real problem is deciding what to go to. Stay tuned for more highlights and in the meantime check out http://www.stateofdesign.com.au for the full program.

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania Braukamper certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels.
She says: Vintage will never go out of style
We say: Does that include vintage 80s?
