RESORT 2016

Overview

Dust off your best bling bling and scour your wardrobe for something Anna Wintour would approve of, because James Street's RESORT is on this week. With local cult label Gail Sorronda among the highlights — albeit with an invite-only event — the annual extravaganza brings yet another fashion frenzy to New Farm.

For four days, James Street will transformed into a desert oasis and shopping mirage, with exclusive collections and presentations by the local boutiques on the strip. In the lineup of talks, workshops, drinking and eating that form the street-wide celebration, everything from a stocked fashion gym to a food lab to a celebration of night culture is included. In case you're wondering, the latter is actually a black greenhouse-like structure that comments on the positive experiences that can only take place after dark.

Sounds oh-so-chic, doesn't it? And, it sounds like fun. Regardless of how many Hadids you follow on Instagram or how big your wardrobe is, this is the event of events for anyone interested in the contemporary and future states of Australian fashion. Splash out on an outfit you can't afford and enjoy!
