Overview

Melbourne Museum's after-hours parties have become a firm favourite for local culture vultures and music lovers — and the next themed instalment is coming in hot. On Friday, March 10, Nocturnal is serving up a special, super-stylish edition of its after-dark sessions, teaming up with PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival's Fashion Culture Program.

Nocturnal x The Fashion Edition is set to kick off from 7pm, launching with the experimental pop stylings of Sui Zhen. Following her set, you'll catch psychedelic sounds from masked Melbourne act Glass Beams and a lively set by dance-friendly nine-piece Ausecuma Beats, before Cut Copy's Dan Whitford hits the decks to deliver a tasty serve of synth-pop guaranteed to get the room moving.

Beyond the dance-floor, you can explore Future/History — a pop-up exhibition by Mob in Fashion and Melbourne Fashion Festival, showcasing pieces by acclaimed First Peoples designers Cassie Leatham, Lillardia Briggs-Houston and Delvene Cockatoo-Collins (showing until Sunday, March 12).

Elsewhere, check out a curation of snaps from Museums Victoria's impressive fashion collection, then drop by the button badge-making workshop to whip up some stylish creations of your own. Entry to the evening is $39, with concession tickets at $35.
