Phillip Boon Presents: ML Vintage

Ladies really knew how to dress in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Where today the fast fashion economy means an outfit spotted on the runway can be misappropriated by Sportsgirl a day later and then inevitably lumped atop the trash heap before one can say fashion road kill, once upon a time fashion was synonymous with two long forgotten words — elegance and style.

Celebrity stylist and creative director Phillip Boon understands the value of both, as does super fabulous 89 year old vintage fashion collector and owner of ML Vintage, Mary Lipshut. The nostalgic pair join forces for Phillip Boon Presents : ML Vintage, an evening where two of the finer things in life — high food and high fashion — will be on offer, with all proceeds going to the very worthy Prahran Mission, a local organisation that works against mental illness, poverty and homelessness.

Expect Pucci, Missoni and Courrèges, served with the best Circa has to offer — mind those sticky fingers near the frocks.
