Read enough Candace Bushnell novels, and watch enough of the movie The Devil Wears Prada, and you’ll have a certain picture of the fashion industry, where copping a stiletto to the jugular vein seems all part of a day’s work. But the Melbourne fashion industry has genuine good will and a supportive structure. Lisa Gorman and Megan Park – individually two of the city’s leading designers, and together, friends through the thick and thin of a fickle industry – embody that warmth. Journalist Rachelle Unreich met them ahead of the city’s fashion festival, known as VAMFF. ●

FASHION How Rebecca Vallance became the label on every style lover’s lips.

Wo r d s

JA N E R O C CA

VA L L A N C E ’ S AW 20 LI N E

F

rom her birthplace of Ballarat in regional Victoria to New York, Australian fashion designer Rebecca Vallance always knew she wanted her brand to have an international presence and she’s achieved just that in under 10 years.

She returns to Melbourne to make her debut as a guest speaker at the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival’s Fashion Summit, talking risk and reputation in the fashion world. Her fan base includes actress Eva Longoria, actress/comedian Celeste Barber, TV personality Kylie Gillies and Priyanka Chopra (yes, that Mrs Nick Jonas), yet Vallance isn’t one to brag about every A-lister wearing her clothes on social media.

Mind you, those aren’t sponsored posts either – they’re diehard followers devouring her every sartorial stitch.

When Vallance launched her brand in 2011, she was living in London and dropped a small capsule of kaftans that quickly sold to Harvey Nichols in Kuwait. It was a telling sign of what was to come, with orders from Europe soon after.

These days there are no kaftans to be found; instead she’s honed her silhouettes into something grander and party-bound. Adored for her structured elegance, Vallance knows her voice in the cluttered fashion world. From suits to minis and midis, she’s a fine balance between flirty and functional where elegance always finds a spot at the dinner table too.

Vallance, who graduated from Victoria University

R E B E C CA VA L L A N C E

Risk and reward with a business degree, started out as a teenage model and dabbled in PR before finding her place in fashion. She measures her success on an international scale. “I always wanted my brand to have an international presence,” she says. “I never started this label as a hobby.”

The brand celebrates 10 years next January; a feat she’s proud of, but admits it’s been hard work. The busy mother of two spends a lot of time travelling – she’s just back from New York – meeting with buyers and planning her brand’s expansion.

She says showing at New York Fashion Week twice in her career and scoring a lucrative account with Net-A-Porter ignited her profile.

“That was my game-changer,” Vallance says.

“Having a global presence is a reminder that you’re doing something right.”

She says her brand has evolved just as she has over the years. “[It’s] now a full-fledged ready-towear collection that can appeal to many women of all ages,” she says. “I spend a lot of time travelling to all markets and seeing what the international

audience wants too. As I have grown older, so has the brand.”

She takes to the stage at VAMFF on March 13 alongside Mary Lou Ryan from Bassike and Margie Woods of Viktoria & Woods. Vallance knows all about the importance of risk.

“I’m very calculated with my risk-taking and very strategic. I always think things through,” she says.

“I am at the core a creative designer of the brand, but I run the business as a business.

“I guess with fashion you need to have the stomach for it – it’s never an easy ride. You have to make sure you are prepared and know when taking a risk is crucial or not.”

Vallance’s autumn/winter 2020 collection is inspired by the movie Swinging Safari – there’s plenty of animal instinct with leopard print and pops of colour. “This season it’s all about the animal print,” she says. “It’s full of texture and earthy colouring.” ● ● vamff.com.au

COVER STORY

I

t’s rare to find the kind of close friendship that fashion designers Megan Park, 52, and Lisa Gorman, 48, share.

The pair aren’t simply work friends who know each other because of the similarities in their labels, although that would make sense: both have eponymous Melbourne brands (although Lisa’s is known simply as “Gorman”) with their own unique signature.

Park’s label exudes boho luxury: flowy dresses, delicately embroidered fabrics and soft femininity.

Gorman is better known for its striking, bold prints and cool collaborations: in the past, it has joined forces with the late artist Mirka Mora and street artist Rhys Lee.

But Gorman was already working on her own designs: a minimal street wear collection “with no colour in it. It was all black and white and grey – how ironic! Nowadays, we both have a great appreciation for the fabrication and textile, and Meg can work so intricately.

“She seems to have more patience than me. It’s an art form for her. She sits with her beaders and embroiderers on the floor in India and she’s very integral to the way her product comes out.

“My work is based so much more on print, and it’s not as if I have to stand next to the printers and the print mills. The makeup artist [for this shoot] asked me if the two of us talk about fashion. We don’t really, but we will walk over to each other and feel

LIVES WOVEN TOGETHER Melbourne designers Megan Park and Lisa Gorman have crafted a unique friendship – akin to sisterhood – forged in the cutthroat fashion world.

But the bond between Park and Gorman is far stronger than their work ties. Currently, the two live on the same street in Melbourne’s Fitzroy, and also bought holiday houses near to each other.

So, how do the pair, who describe their friendship more akin to a sisterhood, nurture their bond against the backdrop of a competitive industry?

It helps that they met through work, and had a shared experience. Over 20 years ago, they were both working with fashion doyenne Mariana Hardwick: Park was doing freelance design for her; Gorman was in retail and visual merchandising.

Gorman was a long way from establishing herself as a designer, and she was still working in her profession as a nurse while dipping a toe in the fashion waters.

“One of my earliest memories [of that time] was seeing Megan lay out a big piece of graph paper and physically dotting the paper like code to show where the beads went. It was so inspiring to witness. It’s never been my strength – embellishment and detail – as I am more of a garment shape person,” she says.

each other’s clothes. It’s more of a detailed view of fabric that we share. We can talk about cotton in a way that I can’t talk about cotton to anyone else.”

The pair found that their personal lives dovetailed in so many ways. They were both from the country: Park hails from Ararat, and Gorman from Warrnambool. Park had a long stint in London; Gorman spent time in New York.

Just as their husbands have become friends, so have their mothers and children, too. (“They’re a bit too much like siblings,” Park says of the kids.)

It’s no coincidence that they live so close to each other that “we can stand outside our front doors and see each other,” says Park.

That’s because she adds that “when I was heavily pregnant, Lisa helped us look for a house. She made sure I bought the one that was down the road, because when we were putting in our bids [at the auction], she was standing behind me saying, ‘Keep going, keep going!’

“We’ve gone through things at the same time – relationships, having children. She witnessed me in

and out of difficult relationships and finding happiness in the partner I’m with now. We’ve gone through ups and downs that only a female can understand. When I fell pregnant [with twins], she was the first person I called and asked, ‘What do I do?’… She took me to Baby Bunting.”

The friendship was also vital in helping Gorman through rough patches, especially when she needed someone to talk her through work-related pressures.

“The Gorman brand has copped its share of criticism via social media over the years, which is par for the course when it has close to half a million followers across social media platforms …

Comments could rip right through you … I’ve had stuff over the years that has been really tough, that becomes personal. It’s hard to separate business from yourself personally, so it’s the rational ear of someone like Meg [that helps],” Gorman says.

“And she’s so kind as well. She never puts herself first. She could sit there and listen to me for hours.

“There are times when you have great collections and times when you don’t; you just need to be able to vent and discuss it with someone in industry that’s all off the radar. It’s really important because it puts perspective back into it as well.”

For personal matters, she’s also found Park’s support comforting. “She was there for me during one of the darkest days of my life, which was the very sudden and quite public passing away of my dad,” Gorman says. “During these times you realise that your friends are the ears and the heart and words you need to deal with this sort of shock and tragedy.”

Park says, in the end, that the threads that tie them together are much stronger than, well, the threads of fashion.

“Fashion does give us loads to talk about on top of everything else we talk about, but there’s lots to share. She’s a really great sounding board for me.

[Together, we’re each] trying to figure out the fine art of balancing work with home, kids and partners.

“I don’t think any woman ever believes she’s cracked the code on this one, but simply knowing that someone understands what you’re going through is comforting for both of us ... She’s so giving as a person and as a friend.

“I feel like I ask a lot more of her than she does of me, and she’s so generous.” ● Tickets are on sale for the VAMFF International Women’s Day Runway Lunch, featuring Megan Park, Malvern Town Hall, March 6.

t’s taken 26 years for Australian designer Camilla Freeman-Topper to open up publicly about losing her mother Pamela to ovarian cancer when she was 11. Together with her brother Marc, through their namesake fashion house she is raising awareness via a new campaign and limited edition T-shirts.

“We’ll never be healed; it’s horrible to lose your mother,” says Freeman-Topper, who started Camilla and Marc in 2003 – a fashion brand that’s become one of the country’s leading lines. “It’s only been in the past 18 months that Marc and I have spoken about it and decided we needed to give back and raise awareness via our position in fashion.”

The Ovaries: Talk About Them campaign is designed to get people talking. There are two

limited-edition T-shirts on sale, designed by Camilla and Marc, with all proceeds donated to Ovarian Cancer Research UNSW Sydney.

The money raised will assist Associate Professor Caroline Ford and her team to develop early detection tests for ovarian cancer.

“Talking about the disease that took our mother has given me and my brother more strength for sure,” says Freeman-Topper. “Marc was only 13, we were just kids. But if we share our story with others who have gone through it, then hopefully the more we talk about it, the more awareness can take place.

Sharing is a powerful thing.”

The siblings collaborated with Perth illustrator Rina Freiberg for one of the designs. “We chose Rina because we like her work and felt we could

JA N E R O C CA

collaborate well together,” says Freeman-Topper. “I wanted an abstract version of a woman’s body and for it to be a symbol of celebration. I also want the women who are wearing it to feel empowered.”

The second T-shirt is unisex and is also pitched at blokes. Simply carrying with the slogans “Power” and “Solidarity”, it’s a chance for men to feel part of the conversation too.

“Ovarian cancer affects husbands, fathers, sons, brothers. It’s an important process in raising awareness,” Freeman-Topper says.

Working on the new campaign has opened up old wounds for the designer, who is also a married mother of three. “The past few months have brought up a lot of emotion, it’s been full-on,” she says.

“But the time feels right to speak about our loss and pain and what better way than to honour our mum by bringing much needed attention to this insidious disease.”

Their late mother Pamela lives on through the fashion label; and according to Freeman-Topper, she’s ever present. “From a young age I always wanted to celebrate women. I guess you could say that’s Mum in there somewhere in our approach,” she says. “We’re all about looking after women from how they dress to making sure they feel strong and go about their day with the confidence required in this world.”

In Australian, three women die from ovarian cancer every day, and globally the disease takes the lives of close to 300,000 women annually – it’s an alarming statistic that makes Freeman-Topper emotional. She’s all about regular check-ups at the GP and wants the disease to shift from the norm to a rarity.

“Mum’s passing brought me and my brother closer,” she says. “We share an innate trust, which is why our brand magic works, but we’re also bonded by this loss. Now is our chance to do something for her and really get behind a good cause.” ● THE OVARIES: TALK ABOUT THEM \ The T-shirts are available in-store and online through Camilla and Marc from March 2. Camilla and Marc’s new collection will be part of Runway 1 on March 11 at the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival.

Coming to heal Don’t underestimate the therapeutic power of a honey-hued cavoodle.

t’s not an unusual scene: ring doorbell, set off furious barking from within, followed by enthusiastic threshold snuffling. Except that the pooch I’m about to meet happens to be a freshly minted celebrity and central character in former newspaper editor Jill Baker’s debut book, A Dog Called Harry.

Pleasantries are exchanged (a handshake from the impeccably dressed Baker, a hand-sniff from Harry the honey-coloured, seven-year-old cavoodle) and we make our way into the couple’s sunny innerMelbourne lounge room. Harry joins us on the couch, and promptly falls asleep. Clearly, this celebrity couldn’t care less about the media.

Wo r d s

Baker, on the other hand, cares a lot. She has had a long and distinguished career in journalism, including as editor of The Sunday Age, the Sunday Herald Sun and a group publisher of magazines such as The Bulletin, Australian Gourmet Traveller and Belle.

In 2010, she wrote an 8000-word feature that earned her a hat-trick: a Walkley, a Sir Keith Murdoch award and the Melbourne Press Club’s Gold Quill. The story recounted the harrowing period in her life when her beloved husband of more than 20 years, George, died suddenly on their Victorian farm.

A few weeks later she was diagnosed with breast cancer and found herself catapulted, grief-stricken,

into a confronting world of hospitals, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

A Dog Called Harry picks up where the story left off. It was her GP who first suggested she consider getting a dog, as a way of healing.

“The sound of an empty house can actually be quite deafening when you’re used to having someone around,” Baker says.

“And the thing about a dog is that they just love you. Harry just thinks I’m the best mum ever.”

Knowing nothing about dogs, Baker’s life was turned upside down (in a good way) when she took Harry home as an eight-week-old pup.

Her memoir, written over a year and in spite of Harry (think snoring, barking, whining, couchchewing, and so on), celebrates how precious friendships like these help during illness and grief.

Thanks to Harry, Baker learnt to smile and laugh again. She rediscovered life.

However, her story is by no means unusual, she says. “So many people have cancer, so many people lose someone special. The only thing that’s different about my story is that I’ve got some idea of how to get it on the page.”

During chemotherapy sessions she met many “amazing” people looking forward to holidays in Spain, upcoming weddings or new grandchildren.

“One lady wanted to finish chemo so she could finish planting a rose garden and be around to see them bloom the following year. They are incredible people.”

Harry’s antics are woven throughout the book but what really shines through is that although grieving, fear and sadness may be part of the human condition, people experience them in unique ways.

“When I sat down to write about Harry, I realised how our stories were so intertwined and that it wasn’t a story about anyone who was brave or strong, or did everything in a forward and orderly direction. It was really just a story about someone who a couple of bad things happen and then somehow, in a pretty higgledy-piggledy way, she sort of manages to fight her way through.”

The book may appeal to people who have had similar experiences, dog-lovers and even cat-lovers (a smug feline called Nigel makes a cameo and deftly upholds all the appropriate stereotypes).

But what does Baker think readers will take away? “I hope they’ll fall in love with that little guy [gesturing to snoring Harry on couch]. But I also hope that they’ll see that you don’t have to be strong, brave or smart, or any of those things. That if you just take one little step at a time you can somehow meander your way through. And at the end, it’s all about finding something that makes us happy.” ● A DOG CALLED HARRY \ By Jill Baker, published

or Bill Shorten’s Labor Party, it was meant to be the “unlosable” election. Liberal MPs had just deposed another prime minister, the government was bitterly divided and on the nose with voters. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, plenty did, and it’s all recounted in gory detail by seasoned political journalist Samantha Maiden in this gripping new book. Party Animals dissects how an overly ambitious and complacent Labor Party let victory slip through its fingers.

Senior party figures, from Shorten down, open up to Maiden with candid, and often brutal, reflections on the fiasco. There is a lot of finger pointing between Shorten supporters and ALP head office about who should wear the blame.

We get an insight into an often shambolic campaign, with key policy decisions made on the

run and critical polling information withheld from Labor’s leadership team. Party veterans lament scaring too many voters away with its plans to wind back negative gearing and franking credits. These tax measures were needed to fund generous health and education promises but, as former ACTU secretary Bill Kelty observes, “It was like Phar Lap trying to have a jockey with 15 stone on him.”

Maiden also reveals Bill Shorten was spooked by the prospect of the Daily Telegraph publishing a story reviving rape allegations against him, and

ebruary was a month of heavy closures due to the fall of George Calombaris and almost all Made Establishment venues. Aside from the hundreds of people now unemployed, Calombaris has been made a scapegoat for much wider industry issues. Restaurants are faced with low profits, high costs of goods and wages, and customers whose dining standards have increased immeasurably over the past decade – but who still refuse to pay more than they did 10 years ago.

Most of the venues in this month’s list are powered by alcohol, which has a much higher margin than food.

hen Kristy Forrest joined the teaching staff at St Catherine’s in Toorak she was drawn to the school’s “top class” English faculty. As an advocate of quality literature and thoughtful writing, the leading girls’ school was a perfect fit for Forrest.

“St Catherine’s was the first school I taught at after graduating and 15 years later I’m still here and very happy,” she says.

As well as teaching English and philosophy to students in years 9 to 12, Forrest contributes to curriculum development and assessment design. In 2017, she was awarded the Excellence in Teaching and Learning Award by St Catherine’s in recognition of her efforts to support fellow teachers to enhance their teaching practices.

“I began running some professional learning teams focused on best practice in the classroom.

The groups were voluntary for teachers who wanted to talk about teaching and how to improve what they do and to share new strategies and ideas,” Forrest says.

She was given a fellowship by St Catherine’s to help fund a professional certificate in clinical teaching at the University of Melbourne. She has also since completed a masters of education (pedagogy and assessment). “Clinical teaching involves taking a more diagnostic approach to teaching and looking at students in a similar way to how a doctor looks at a patient,” explains Forrest.

“It’s about looking at each student and diagnosing and adjusting strategies, rather than using the same strategies with each student. The groups with teachers during schooltime are a chance to share what is happening in their classroom, to highlight any areas of teaching they want to look at and we share strategies for staff and students. We learn from each other.”

Helping students build academic resilience and develop deep and effective thinking skills are also a focus of Forrest’s work at St Catherine’s.

“We don’t want girls to give up easily. For example, girls often retreat from difficult subjects around year 10. So how can we teach them problemsolving skills and academic resilience so they persist with difficult mathematics or difficult texts?” she says.

KRIST Y FORREST

This year, St Catherine’s is working with academics at the University of Queensland’s Critical Thinking project to help embed a culture of effective thinking across the school.

“It places learning how to think at the core of curriculum design and teaching,” says Forrest.

“It will shift how students talk about their learning. Instead of a student saying, ‘I got this score on my English essay’ they might instead say, ‘My writing isn’t clear’. It helps them speak more meaningfully and thoughtfully about their learning and will help decision-making and problem-solving skills. At the end of the day, we want our girls to be the best possible thinkers and communicators.”

Forrest attended a girls’ school in Belgrave and says a handful of strong female teachers opened her eyes to the excitement of exploring new ideas and the power of good writing. She shares those passions

with her students. “It fascinates me how teachers can influence young people’s lives. I remember some of my best teachers were those who challenged me, who were forgiving and who took their work seriously but who didn’t take themselves too seriously,” says Forrest.

“I didn’t grow up knowing I wanted to be a teacher but teaching has allowed me to continue exploring ideas and to be curious. Soon after I joined St Catherine’s I knew I’d found the right career. I’m never bored and I enjoy the academic side of teaching and the human connections you build with students.

“A good day at work for me is a mix of banter, some high-end academic work, reading some great writing from my students and sharing good moments with my colleagues.” ● SARAH MARINOS

If you have set your co-ordinates for the Golden Mile, then here is your reward – a serene, beautifully designed contemporary home with all the exceptional hallmarks of prestigious architects SJB and the firm’s award-winning interior designer Andrew Parr.

Built over three levels with premium materials and a cohesive palette of soft natural tones, it is 21st-century urban luxury of the most sophisticated and comfortable type.

The ground floor is mainly living areas. A guest suite at the front is followed by a powder room with a pale green onyx vanity and gold-flecked cork wallpaper. The lift is in this zone. Next is the lounge. The quartz hearth for the gas-log fire here extends to provide seating in the courtyard.

The main living area, with travertine floors, is at the rear with a view of the pool. Here, the kitchen has bronzed stainless steel cupboards above, and timber below and a huge quartz island bench. The butler’s pantry also has quartz trim and the excellent storage includes a wall of conveniently shallow cupboards where everything is immediately accessible. Three Gaggenau ovens, gas and induction cooktops, and a Liebherr integrated fridge and freezer take care of the catering.

A barbecue kitchen and fully retractable louvre roof over the outdoor area make entertaining easy. Beyond the separately heated pool and spa, the pool pavilion comprises a lounge and full bathroom.

A stainless steel balustrade to the staircase also borders the void. On the first floor, the main bedroom is an indulgent retreat with an oval bath in the en suite, large walk-in wardrobe and a balcony made private by treetops. All bedrooms have marble and porcelain en suites, walk-in wardrobes and fabric feature walls. The meticulously fitted laundry has a drying balcony.

In the basement, wine bottles rest on beautifully crafted wooden shelves in the temperature controlled cellar, a flexible room could be either a gym or theatre, and there is parking for six cars. The property has been fitted with state of the art automation. ● BEVERLEY JOHANSON property@domainreview.com.au Agent: Marshall White, Kate Strickland 0400 125 946 Price: $8.5 million-$9.3 million Expressions of interest: close noon, March 25

92 Page Street, Albert Park Beyond its commanding Victorian facade, a ground-breaking architectural renovation has created a 5 bedroom, family entertainer that culminates, with a genuine sense of occasion, in unforgettable al fresco living. Visually dramatic and incredibly functional, the home is positioned in one of the most coveted streets that occupy the blue ribbon pocket between Albert Park Village and the waterfront, and offers the rare privilege of fully self-contained rear accommodation.

Bold in scope, extravagant in quality and proudly at the cutting edge of residential technology, the home delivers a gallery-like experience like few others, as it flows from its traditional origins towards its open-plan rear. Arranged around a marble, waterfall-edged island bench with a suite of the finest appliances, an integrated refrigerator, a wine fridge and walk-in pantry, the home cascades through remarkable automated glass doors to a paved poolside entertaining area that has been crafted to further inspire our love of al fresco living.

Climb the striking, glass-balustrade, staircase to discover 4 bedrooms of pure opulence. The master suite and second bedroom each enjoy private ensuites, whilst the remaining bedrooms share a semi-ensuite. All 3 of these bathrooms are unequivocally 5-star experiences with marble surfaces and an impressive commitment to luxury.

Upstairs again and a rooftop turret delivers a magical outdoor living experience from which 360 degree views are revealed, spanning from the ever-expanding skyline of the Melbourne CBD, to the waters of Port Phillip Bay and everything in between. Meanwhile, a triple car garage services the main home and sits underneath the selfcontained unit which itself enjoys its own independent (4th car) garage. Offering a 5th bedroom, 2nd kitchen, living, another ensuite and plenty of storage, this is genuinely self-contained and leasable.

Hydronic heating, C-Bus Home Automation, a built-in BBQ and outdoor shower are thoughtful additions to enhance the joy of living here. Land size 600 m2 approx.
