Indigenous Fashion Runway
Wednesday, March 20th, 2013
Want to be part of a moment in fashion history? Head along to Melbourne’s Famous Spiegeltent on March 23 for the Indigenous Runway as part of L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival. Indigenous designers from Australia will be joined by their Maori counterparts from over the Tasman in this collaborative event, which is an initiative of the Indigenous Fashion Unearthed program. The morning will kick off with a runway show featuring indigenous models wearing garments made using native fibres and haute couture-level traditional weaving, alongside pieces created from contemporary fabrics and modern techniques. Designers taking part include Darren and Tania Dunn, Dmonic Intent, Lucy Simpson, Mia Brennan (pictured) and Shona Tawhiao. Post-show, an auction of pieces from the designers’ collections will help raise funds for Indigenous Fashion Unearthed, which provides opportunities for indigenous youth to learn about the fashion industry. We can’t think of a more inspiring way to start your weekend! 
Colour Our World
Tuesday, March 5th, 2013
We at Peppermint love a good fashion festival, especially one that brings style to the suburbs. Running alongside L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival, Colour Box Studio’s Fashion Program is doing exactly that – with the added bonus of a focus on sustainable, ethical and local fashion. Dates to jot into your diary if you happen to be west-side of Melbourne (more accurately, in the Footscray area) include March 10, when the studio will host a clothes swap, and March 20, which is a chance to network and hear from industry figures such as Dale Cornell from New Model Beauty Queen and Tegan Rose from Ink and Spindle at an event titled Fashion Box. Silk artist Ida Suod will run silk scarf printing workshops and Liz Doust will show you how to design and screenprint a purse, and if that’s not enough DIY to satisfy your cravings, more workshops will be announced on the website soon.
Estethica 2013
Thursday, February 28th, 2013
The quality of design-led eco fashion exhibited at this season’s London Fashion Week Estethica showcase was extremely high, as always. With new-on-the-scene Liora Lassalle straight out of Central St Martins, through to long term friends Goodone, who have been there from the birth of Estethica six years ago, there was a huge variety of designers, and more excitingly, clientele walking through. This platform allows sustainable fashion to be broadcast far and wide, and the industry can’t get enough. Let’s meet this season’s designers…{Words and photos by Rachel Manns}
