Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival 2016
Step into the world of really, really, ridiculously good looking people.
Overview
Throw on your going out pants: the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival is back for another year. Featuring runway events, pop-ups, workshops and parties, as well as dozens of affiliated art shows, exhibitions, film screenings and more, the week-long celebration pays tribute to the world of haute couture in appropriately lavish style.
The bulk of the festival takes place over seven days beginning Monday, March 7, with more than a dozen runways giving fashionistas the chance to catch a glimpse of the latest garments from some of the biggest designers in the country.
But there's more to the program than just the latest trends. A tie-in exhibition at the Ian Potter Gallery pays tribute to two centuries of Australian fashion, while an art gallery in Bendigo has collected more than 20 original costumes and items of clothing worn by Marilyn Monroe. There's even a foodie element to the lineup, with a number of local dessert makers collaborating with designers on a tooth-rotting selection of sweet treats.
