Melbourne had a buzz about it I hadn't experienced before thanks to LMFF. When I wasn't at a show I was shopping and enjoying the city, the food, the weather and making new friends.
I arrived late on Friday night which gave me a little window to check-in, drop off my bags, gawk over the hotel room (I have photos!), make myself look human and hop into a taxi to the Paris Runway 6 fashion show.
Presented by frankie magazine, the roundup of designers included:
Alice McCall
Alpha60
Dhini
Gorman
Karen Walker
Kate Sylvester
Limedrop
Nevenka
Most of the collections were fairly 'safe' in terms of colour which is why it was a delight to see Karen Walkers' use of orange, Limedrops' green and Gormans' polkadots.. well, they made me smile.
The highlight of the evening though was catching up with Lady Smaggle and Poppy Gets a Life following the show. After a few drinks, we may or may not have ended the evening (or was it morning?) at the Supper Inn for a guilty late dinner. A great way to kick off the Melbourne weekend!
