Free champagne, free cocktails, free cupcakes and free personal styling are all on the agenda for Fashion Saturday. Taking over Sydney on Saturday, September 12, the extravaganza promises to transform the city into a fashionista’s haven for a day, with more than 90 fashion-inspired happenings planned.
It’s in Paddington that you’ll score free bubbles while checking out Argenton Designs’ latest additions to their collections of hand-finished jewellery. Venture down the road to Darlinghurst’s boutique hair salon Sas and Lou to get yourself styled in flowers and braids a la Frida Kahlo, polaroid-ed and entered in the Best Face of the Day comp. By that point, you’re bound to be hungry, so pop over to Potts Point’s Manta Restaurant for a four-course gourmet lunch with matched beverages for $69 or to Surry Hills’ Sparkle Cupcakery for a free cupcake.
Not all the action is in the east, however. Get to St. Frock, Pyrmont, for a 20% discount storewide, plus (more!) free wine and a complimentary styling session. Meanwhile, over in Newtown, Buttons Great and Small’s expert team will be showing visitors how to upcycle long-loved items of clothing into refreshed, revamped fashion pieces.
Reckon you might need a rest after all that? Sink into a chair at the Golden Age Cinema, where Fashion Saturday will be celebrated with a screening of new release Women He’s Undressed, which tells the glamorous story of Australian costume designer Orry-Kelly, who worked on Hollywood classics like Some Like it Hot and Casablanca.
