Even if you’re not someone to keep up with the latest trends, it’s hard not to get a little caught up in the excitement of the Melbourne Fashion Festival. Whether you’re front and centre at every runway, or just prone to spotting the well-dressed heading to a show, the festival brings a buzz to the city. In its 25th year, MFF has done that ever-popular pandemic pivot to bring not only live shows, but online runways to enjoy from home.

The focus this year will be on local talent, and as our cover star, fashion designer Jason Grech says, “my city has always informed what I create”.

We can’t wait to see it. ●

COVER STORY

T

he Melbourne Fashion Festival has always wooed the big names – from burlesque star Dita Von Teese and curve model Ashley Graham to ’90s supermodel Helena Christiansen. But for the festival’s 25th anniversary, the spotlight is on local – where traditional and digital runways give us a pandemic-era serve of fashion week with a difference.

While front row schmoozing might be replaced by socially distant air-kissing for now, there’s nothing quite like celebrating the bricks and mortar of what makes our city the fashion capital of Australia, no matter what the format.

From digital runways filmed at Redwood Forest in East Warburton, Ponyfish Island and URBN Surf, to traditional ones held at the NGV, State Library and Timber Yards, it’s the return of street style as it wakes from a pandemic slumber that is hotly anticipated.

“Nobody does street style like Melbourne,” says Melbourne Fashion Festival CEO Graeme Lewsey.

“MFF has always been about getting dressed up with friends and coming to the festival. People who attend always look fantastic; the festival is their stage to show off. Street style brings a mass euphoria, everyone is watching, and everyone is looking forward to seeing more of that this time.”

M

elbourne designer Jason Grech is returning to MFF for a fourth year.

A career highlight was in 2019 when supermodel Ashley Graham wore his dress as part of the closing runway show. “It was totally electrifying,” says Grech.

Best known for couture red-carpet gowns – Sophie Monk’s gold dress at the Logies is but one – Grech was inspired for his latest collection while dancing in a club on New Year’s Eve. “There’s a little bit of disco, a lot of Studio 54, and I’m channelling the 1980s supermodel too,” says Grech, who works from his 240-square-metre studio and showroom in Little Leveson Street, North Melbourne.

Grech is synonymous with Melbourne party gowns, and says women want to dress up again.

He started making linen tea towels during lockdown but is back surrounded by silk, lace and tulle. His chic party palette of white, black and

A celebration of Melbourne life This year’s fashion festival turns the spotlight on everything that makes our city Australia’s queen of the rag trade. copper with a surprise pop of colour is returning with a vengeance this season.

“My city has always informed what I create,” Grech says. “In the past, I’ve turned to the Spencer Street Station architecture for inspiration, and this time it was about me stepping out of isolation and getting on the dancefloor – a reminder we all like to mingle and feel part of something special.

Grech will be sitting front-row with his 90-yearold mother Gemma during his runway show, and says she’s responsible for his work ethic.

“She’s my biggest fan and has attended most of the shows. I’m the youngest of 10, and yes, she’s very proud of me, but the pressure is on to make sure she’s impressed too,” Grech says.

Stylist-turned-shoe-designer Lana Wilkinson will make her runway debut as part of the Runway Finale. She remembers buying a white Nicola Finetti dress she spotted on international model and blogger Candice Lake, who wore it at the festival in 2017.

“It’s definitely a pinch-me moment,” says Wilkinson of her debut. “It’s my first runway with the festival, which feels like I have come full circle.

“To be styling the finale runway with designers I have worked with over the years feels amazing; it’ll be the ultimate adrenalin rush.

“And seeing Melbourne come back to life will be the best way to celebrate our industry; it’ll get people excited about being in Melbourne again.”

Her new shoe collection nods to the ’90s – think gold metallics, a slouch suede studded boot and a pointy Texan snakeskin version, with flats making a comeback too. But what makes Wilkinson’s shoes stand out is her signature embellishment.

Melbourne fashion designer Jade Sarita Arnott, who runs the label Arnsdorf, won the Festival’s Sustainability Award in 2019 and continues in her crusade to be her environmental best.

“That was really a big moment for me,” Arnott says of her win. “To be recognised for our sustainable practice — [which] is what my brand is intrinsically about — was totally thrilling.”

Arnsdorf collections are packed with a conscience – Arnott is using recycled wool for her coats and is also working on a movement range (think of dresses with flounce, which is hard to get in sustainable fabrics).

“Women want to make a purchase that reflects their aesthetic and identity as well as their values, and it’s starting to become more prominent now,” Arnott says.

She says her new range features cargo pants, voluminous trackpants, and handkerchief dresses with a high neck – taking inspiration from Star Wars, sci-fi drama The AO and The Neverending Story. “It was all designed in our first lockdown; I swapped going to galleries for inspiration for movie marathons with my family this time.”

Being part of MFF appeals to the independent brand because of its consumer-friendly attitude.

“The festival makes the fashion industry accessible to the community, which is really nice, and lets our clients experience the excitement of the runway and to see the clothes in movement,” Arnott says. ● MELBOURNE FASHION FESTIVAL \ March 11 - March 20, 2021. ● melbournefashionfestival.com.au

WHAT CAN YOU DO THERE?

P O S T CA R D R E A DY

Fawkner Park, South Yarra

If you asked someone to close their eyes and walk into Fawkner Park, South Yarra, they would have no idea they were nestled between some of the city’s busiest roads. This vividly green, dog-friendly oasis is so close to the city, but high-rises filling its northern skyline are the only thing giving that away.

The question is, what can’t you do at Fawkner Park? With barbecues scattered across the vast treelined expanse, as well as rugby, soccer and cricket pitches, tennis courts, playgrounds, a walking track and idyllic, criss-crossing footpaths shaded by giant overhanging elm, oak and Moreton Bay fig trees, it is a stunning place to spend the day.

The park hasn’t changed much since it opened in 1862, named after one of Melbourne’s co-founders, John Pascoe Fawkner. Its proximity to Toorak Road means there’s great food and shopping nearby, too.

The Fawkner Park Tennis Centre offers six synthetic grass courts available for use by members and nonmembers alike – an afternoon hit with a beautiful

view, right next to a communal barbecue and picnic area. It sounds idyllic because it is.

WHO WILL YOU FIND THERE? ISTOCK

There is so much happening in every corner of this park – it just hums. I see joggers stopped by water fountains, laughing at something I haven’t heard but which makes me smile in turn. There’s an older lady sitting at a table sketching what she sees, an Irish wolfhound by her side. I stand a little behind her to catch a glimpse of what she's drawing. It’s a woman and a child, the little girl sitting in the lady’s lap, holding a picture book for them both to read.

Nearing the tennis courts, I spy a woman and a young boy sitting on a checked yellow-and-white picnic blanket, looking entirely picturesque. Waiting for her son Benji’s tennis class, Uschi Schwartz says she has been coming to Fawkner Park since she was in primary school.

“I love coming back to my old park, where I grew up, where I went to Christchurch Grammar School,”

Create your own charcuterie board at La Parisienne Pates.

Schwartz says. “We used to have a ball here.” She describes playing marbles around the big old oak trees. “I have a real connection to it; it’s a beautiful place,” she adds.

There are children everywhere, weaving through the play equipment shaded by young trees. Some in school uniforms walk side by side, their parents trailing behind, in conversation but keeping watch.

Watching couples walk the leafy footpaths handin-hand makes me question whether I am on a rom-com film set.

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Helping to control stress

T

oday’s schoolchildren are stressed out, according to any number of studies on the subject over the last decade. And that was before the onset of a global pandemic.

“For the first time in history, school kids have access to a 24-hour news cycle,” says ELTHAM College principal Simon Le Plastrier. “It’s a case of ‘access all areas’, and there’s a lot of negativity and bad news out there.”

A year of remote learning, lockdown and social disconnection has only exacerbated things, says Nakkita Egan, head of students at St Columba, a Catholic girls’ school in Melbourne’s north-west.

Stress manifests itself in different ways for different kids, say experts, but tiredness, poor diet, an inability to concentrate and struggles maintaining

social relationships and regulating emotions are indicators a child is feeling the pressure.

Schools are alert to the correlation between wellbeing and success, so many encourage them to switch off technology and adopt mindfulness and meditation techniques to tackle stress.

Le Plastrier says ELTHAM College has seen incredible transformations in kids after attending tech-free retreats and camping trips.

At the school, students have regular meetings with staff mentors, while older students also offer mentoring support to younger peers.

In St Columba’s pastoral care program, students meet daily with their house groups to discuss current issues and concerns. It’s a model also adopted by Sacré Coeur in Melbourne’s south-east.

With a proud tradition that has traversed two centuries of change, at Sacré Cœur we are always able to meet the challenges of uncertain times. We do this by providing a truly caring education for our students.

Our experienced and empathetic teachers cultivate heads, hearts and hands to create well-rounded individuals. Whether it be through our rigorous online learning program or in the classroom, we guide girls from Prep through to VCE.

At Sacré Cœur, no matter what the world holds, we care about creating confident and future ready young women.

Principal Adelina Melia-Douvos says students happily seek guidance from the school’s three psychologists, who work with teachers to deliver “age and stage appropriate” education and advice.

Egan says St Columba has had positive feedback from its series of conversations with the leadership team, in which staff speak to parents about how to communicate with their children and share tips for problem-solving and stress management.

So, what are some pointers for parents?

Egan says sleep is the key. Encouraging students to adopt a healthy sleep routine may mean parents need to restrict screen time and access to technology. A “no devices in the bedroom” rule can be beneficial, as can introducing a regular bedtime.

Le Plastrier says parents should also be aware of what their children are doing online.

“Education surrounding social media is important,” he says, “and it’s a rapidly changing landscape, so parents really need to be ready to adapt. There’s no point in parents having a Facebook account but not fully understanding how it works.”

Educators agree extra-curricular activities are hugely important to a healthy upbringing, provided kids genuinely enjoy the subject, and schedules still allow space for downtime.

“If children are given a chance to express and explore their passions while expanding their social connections, it can actually energise them,” says Melia-Douvos.

EFFIE MANN

Nurturing that closeness within families has a direct impact on student happiness and success, she adds. “Supportive and connected families really do make a difference to the student.”

Parents need to prioritise family time, too. While sharing meals as a family is hugely beneficial, if household schedules don’t align, there are other ways to encourage connection.

“Social media ... is a rapidly changing landscape, so parents really need to be ready to adapt.”

Showing interest in those passions and learnings can also give kids a boost in confidence, Egan says.

Her tip for parents is to ask their child to teach them one thing they learnt that day.

“It encourages closeness and connectedness between the parents and children, but it doubles as a study technique because it further cements the information for the child through the retelling, too.”

SIMON LE PLASTRIER

It’s not the nature of the time that is important, but making the time, Egan says.

Parents can have expectations of their children without plying them with stress and pressure, Le Plastrier adds.

“Children enjoy feeling as though they can and will succeed. Our job is to give them the space and support to give it a go,” he says. ●

FEATURE HOUSE HAMPTON \ 27 MILLS STREET 4

1

In the early days of the 20th century, Australian designers began looking for a new style of architecture – and what they found has been enduringly popular for almost a century. The Californian bungalow has its roots in the west coast of the US, but the attractive, unpretentious style perfectly suited the Australian climate, aesthetic and family.

As the years passed, the houses, often set on large blocks, proved easy and rewarding to extend and renovate.

The renovation of this pretty Hampton bungalow has turned it into an exceptional family home full of art deco charm and contemporary amenity. The original section at the front retains the strapped ceilings and ornamental glass in windows and doors. In the formal lounge, there is a box bay window and a magnificent feature fireplace flanked by cupboards with diamond leadlight doors.

Two of the three bedrooms in this original section also have box bay windows and two have built-in wardrobes.

They share a period-style bathroom.

At the rear, the living, dining and kitchen area is a large and bright north-facing area with European oak floors, two bay windows and an open fireplace. This area looks out to the gardens, which have been designed with the period of the house in mind, and the solar-heated pool.

The white Carrara marble kitchen has a walk-in pantry and Miele appliances – including two ovens.

The first floor is just for the parents, with a large retreat and a bedroom suite that includes a walk-in wardrobe, an en suite and a balcony with leafy views.

The house, which is on about 627 square metres, has
