LiveStyle 2009 Fashion & Music Festival, Melbourne
With L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF) only just over, we thought we'd have a while to wait before we could look forward to another big fashion event in Melbourne. As it turns out, we were wrong - with a major new concept being launched this coming weekend.
Taking place at Central Pier, Docklands from 17-19 April 2009, LiveStyle will marry music and fashion; with runway shows, DJ performances, workshops and plenty more on the schedule. The thing we're most looking forward to though is the 50+ pop-up boutiques which will be selling sale stock and new season collections direct to the public.
Alexi Freeman Autumn/Winter 2009 Melbourne Preview

The best part is that garments can be tried on and orders can be placed at 50% off the retail price, for delivery in March/April 2009.

L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF) have announced their VIP guest for this year: model, television personality and runway coach J. Alexander.
You may know him better as "Miss J" from his role on America's Next Top Model.
Alexander's career started when he modelled on the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier in New York City, and since then he has evolved into an in-demand casting agent and runway coach.
This will be J. Alexander's first trip to Melbourne.

Rachel Getting Married - Movie Pass Giveaway
Anne Hathaway's star continues to rise with an abundance of critical acclaim surrounding her latest film, Rachel Getting Married.
When Kym (Hathaway) returns to the Buchman family home for the wedding of her sister Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt), she brings a long history of personal crisis, family conflict and tragedy along with her.
The wedding couple's abundant party of friends and relations have gathered for a joyful weekend of feasting, music and love, but Kym - with her biting one-liners and flair for bombshell drama - is a catalyst for long-simmering tensions in the family dynamic.
Filled with the rich and eclectic characters that remain a hallmark of Jonathan Demme's films, Rachel Getting Married paints a heartfelt, perceptive and sometimes hilarious family portrait. Rachel Getting Married hits cinemas in Australia on February 12.
We have 20 double-passes to Rachel Getting Married to give away. The competition closes soon, but if you haven't already entered, keep an eye on the Fashionising.com newsletter for details on how to win.
