#CROSSSECTION The Marketplace

Overview

Thisisfortunate.com presents #CROSSSECTION The Marketplace, a fortnightly fashion designers' market replete with music, eats and drinks in Angel Place. #CROSSSECTION places emerging designers alongside their more established peers to sell direct to you. Think Project Runway meets The Grand Social at the foot of the Ivy — and there is a theme.

2013 is a big one for the recently rebranded initiative (formerly Bizarre Bazaar), which will spread to Melbourne later this year, so expect a no-punches-pulled '70s Miami Beach theme on March 28. Of the more established designers taking part this month, you should definitely check out Serpent & the Swan, a Sydney sister act who strike a perfect balance between mystique appeal and understated cool in top-quality fabrics.

A suggestion and warning for the costume-committed: heat up the ghd and start practicing your Fawcett-flicks, but beware of roller-skaters— for those of you born after the mid-'80s, they are way harder than rollerblades.

If March 28 is already booked, remember, it's on once a fortnight.
