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.
