Launching tomorrow, the 20th year of the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival will run for a week long hosting
Australia’s top designers, both up and coming and the cherished favourites. For
the first time, the festival hub is now at the Royal Exhibition Building and
the Melbourne Museum, where you can catch all the action on the runways as well
as unwind and relax at the Festival Plaza. Here are some handy tips to navigate
and make the most of the biggest week in Melbourne Fashion.
Experience: The Runway Shows. Whether it is
one of the seven Premium Runways Shows, the National Graduate Showcase, the Jean Paul for Target Runway or the GQ Australian Menswear Runway, there
is a runway to suit all your fashion needs and desires. But be quick, many of
the runways have sold out, but luckily VAMFF has released a limited number of
additional seats for the sold out shows.
Watch: If runways aren’t
your thing, head to ACMI for the Fashion on Film Series. Here you can watch the latest fashion
documentaries, hot off the runway from across the globe about Jeremy Scott,
Givenchy and the late Alexander McQueen, just to name a few.
Eat: Now that the hub
for VAMFF has changed, you could not be more spoilt for choice when it comes to
dining before or after the show. Think Gertrude St for Trippy Tacos, Smith
Street and Brunswick Street for their array of wonderful bars and eateries and
how could you forget Lygon Street for the ultimate after show coffee and
gelati.
Wear: Now this probably is the time to don
your most stylish outfit, as many people pull out all stops to look their best
around Fashion Week. Don’t worry too much the ‘latest’ fashion trends because
this is your opportunity to let loose and show Melbourne your creative flair.
Transport: The
Premium Runways could not be more easier to get to get to this year. Simply hop
on the train to Parliament and enjoy a leisurely stroll through Carlton
Gardens. However, if the heat will
prove too much, you can hop on the 96 or 86 trams to allow you to roll up in
style.
Head over to the VAMFF website or their Instagram and Twitter for all the deets and up to
the minute goss. And most importantly, if you look
good, you feel great, so have fun with the festival and be sure to always be
camera ready.
