Festival of Steve 2015
Melbourne's day-long celebration of the modern man.
Overview
Gentlemen of Melbourne, this one's for you. You are hereby summoned to learn how to perfect the art of being a modern day dapper lad. The Festival of Steve has returned. Before we go on any further we should also point out that the event welcomes females who appreciate a discerning gent; Steve leaves no one behind.
This year's Festival ambassador is comedian and radio host, Tommy Little. The day will consist of free forums on everything from style to men's health to choosing the right cufflinks; covering every last realm of gentlemanliness. Starting the day off will be 'Rebel Without A Beard', where Lord Coconut's Mark Boldiston and bespoke tailor Carl Navè will examine how the 'hipster' phenomenon has influenced facial hair the world over.
'All quiet on the men’s front' will be an open discussion focusing on men's health and wellbeing with guest speakers such as psychologist Tom Pietkiewicz and personal trainer Talia Pranskunas. Finally, a panel of both men and women, including Nathan Jancauskas from Men's Biz, dating and lifestyle expert Chris Monak of Manic Workshops, and Little Miss Melbourne Sarah Harrison, will rain down knowledge on how to make an impression that lasts long after the first date for the single modern man.
All the events are free to attend (with donations to Beyond Blue strongly encouraged) and held at the Kelvin Club, as well as involving some of Melbourne’s specialist retailers to help you become the modern gentlemen you long to be.
