you’ve seen imitations, TOMORROW SEE originals
This week's Melbourne Fashion Festival has shown that fashionable styles of the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s are very much in vogue.
However, while Festival fashion parade guests have to be content with admiring recreated looks of these eras, some of the best originals will be paraded as part of a unique fashion show for the Victorian Seniors Festival on THURSDAY, 18 March.
Fashion trendsetters of the day and still trendsetters today, Lady Renouf , Sheila Scotter (former Vogue editor) , Diane Masters (’50s high fashion model) and Annette Allison (former TV presenter) dug deep into wardrobes for stylish numbers, for models to parade.
Tomorrow’s show at Zinc at Federation Square will feature clothes such as a classic black Norma Tullo evening dress from the late ’60s, a Diane Von Furstenberg black and white wrap around silk jersey dress from the ’60s, a pink floral cocktail outfit designed by Barbara Battaglini in the ’70s and stylish race wear, courtesy of Lady Renouf.
Guests will be served a champagne afternoon tea before models take to the catwalk in designer originals loaned by the above four women for the occasion. Hosting the event will be June Dally-Watkins, Australia's most photographed model of the ’40s, who has gone on to write a book, The Secrets Behind My Smile.
