Fashion Full Stop.

Fashion Week. It's one of my favourite times of the year. Every year i get giddy at the first signs of the emerging festival and this year was no different. In fact i felt myself counting down the days to the beginning, having already penciled in a number of dates into my diary including fashion shows, cultural events in the city and exclusive designer sales.
This year with a new creative director, Grant Pearce came a new vision for the fashion festival. So the beginning of fashion week on Monday 14th March was marked by an 'opening ceremony' of sorts with 4000 people packing into the Plenary at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre for a spectacular show incorporating Australian music, dance and fashion over the past 5 decades. It embodied a real celebration of the whole industry and was entertaining as well as inspiring.

Fashion, dance and music are pretty much my 3 passions in life, so a show incorporating them all was just too much excitement for me. Performances included Guy Sebastian, Marcia Hines and Russell Morris as well as amazing dancing by the Australian Ballet.
