Fashion Week Australia Pop-Up Bar by Pelicano

Overview

Sipping on a bespoke cocktail while the new season's couture is unveiled in realtime on a mammoth screen is, believe it or not, a life experience open to you this week. Style gawkers can watch all the Fashion Week catwalk action, live-streamed direct from Carriageworks to the purpose-built screen at Martin Place, while having their thirst quenched by a pop-up bar care of Double Bay's Pelicano. Hosted by Pelicano's Tim Holmes a Court and Daimon Downey, the Fashion Week Australia Bar will have a grazing menu as well as drinks and will be soundtracked by live DJ sets.

The screening of the runway is a joint venture between Jasu.com and the City of Sydney, bolstering Lord Mayor Clover Moore's push to broaden public engagement with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia. Democratising MBFWA in this way will certainly add some sparkle to the city air as homegrown designers like Lisa Ho, Ginger & Smart and Romance Was Born (full show schedule here) flaunt their new wares, while everyday Sydneysiders get to strut their own stuff, drinks in hand, and enjoy a spectacle normally witnessed only by fashion industry insiders.
