You’ve heard of a flash mob… (a whole bunch of people in a public place assemble and do something that would appear random but is actually choreographed – like a huge organised dance routine, supermarket musical, or pillow fight – youtube it if you don’t believe me). But what about a flash walk?

The conceptual collision of flashmobs and catwalks, this surprise parade made its way down Melbourne’s Flinders Street on Tuesday morning, previewing pieces that we’ll soon see at The Spirit of the Black Dress exhibition.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
