Heart & sole From stylist to designer – Lana Wilkinson’s shoes hit the runway.

Wo r d s

S

he’s styled some of Melbourne Fashion Week’s biggest drawcards, but when stylist Lana Wilkinson returns to MFW this November, her own brand of shoes will also star on the runway.

Her work with MFW over the decades has involved sourcing outfits for front-row guests and styling shows behind the scenes. Those styled by Wilkinson include international model Adut Akech, actress Isabel Lucas and two-time festival ambassador Ashley Hart.

A social media identity with 152,000 followers, Wilkinson never imagined she’d go from celebrity stylist to shoe designer, but it has now been two years since she launched her label.

She’s also just signed a deal with The Iconic to sell her range, which includes stilettos, wedges and embellished slides that promise glitz, glam and occasional comfort.

It’s a huge coup for the Melbourneborn red-carpet stylist who never planned on a meteoric rise in the fashion world, preferring to take things at her own pace. Her bridal shoe collection will also be unveiled in 2022.

“I’m so excited to join The Iconic, it’s a daunting thought but the time is right for the brand,” says Wilkinson, who has kept her fanbase entertained during the pandemic by modelling shoes from home. “There was no rush to go big quickly with the business.

“I’ve never been like that, I had time to get to know my customer and realise that ... using myself as a vehicle to promote my shoes is what has resonated with my audience.

They know me, and they want a genuine experience.”

At Melbourne Fashion Week, Wilkinson will host an opening-night

“Fashion shouldn’t be dictated – it’s something you feel, and good style is owning your own.”

event and schmooze like the old days as the emcee of an early showing of a Secret Gardens Runway presented

by Vogue (for those lucky enough to score a VIP brunch invitation).

“Everything I do in my work life reflects who I am,” Wilkinson says, adding that the pandemic has allowed her time to think about what’s next. This includes considering opening a retail store and expanding her reputation beyond dressing some of Melbourne’s most notable WAGs. “I don’t want women to think if you aren’t a size 8 then I won’t work with you,” says Wilkinson, who has a client list that includes presenter and entrepreneur Rebecca Judd, Myer ambassador Elyse Knowles, model and businesswoman Rachel Finch and singer Natalie Bassingthwaighte.

“Inclusivity is so important right now; to not acknowledge that is to be tone-deaf.

“Through my Instagram, I show people how to wear the shoes and I keep the conversation social and honest. It’s for people who want an escape from everything else that’s going on in our lives.”

Wilkinson is looking forward to getting dressed up and stepping out in Melbourne again, and says MFW is a time to make sure wardrobe staples are at the ready.

“I’m all about embracing bright colours, and you can do this by adding a coloured blazer, having core denim in there, like a good pair of jeans or denim shorts, a T-shirt or tank and tailored pants that go from day to night – and don’t forget the shoes,” she says.

Some of her favourite Australian brands include Scanlan & Theodore, Rebecca Vallance and Camilla & Marc. Her tip is to support Australian brands and go for those who know their clientele.

“Most importantly, don’t underestimate your own style,” Wilkinson says.

“Fashion shouldn’t be dictated – it’s something you feel, and good style is owning your own.” ●

Style without compromise COVER STORY Quadriplegic Rhiannon Tracey will

herald a new era when she models at Fashion Week.

W

hen disability advocate Rhiannon Tracey, 32, was asked to join this year’s Melbourne Fashion Week Plaza Ballroom runway wearing couture in her wheelchair, she didn’t hesitate to get involved.

“It feels so damn good to be included; that is the biggest win for the disability community,” says Tracey, who became a quadriplegic after a swimming accident in Bali 12 years ago – just months before her 21st birthday. She’s worked hard ever since to help those living with disabilities to be seen, heard and treated equally.

“It took having a disability myself to make me more aware of the gaps that exist for people like us across fashion, television, influencers and public speaking roles,” Tracey says.

In adapting to a new way of life since her spinal injury, Rhiannon has found her niche as an advocate and is pushing for change.

The return of Melbourne Fashion Week this November is the first major event to come back to the CBD, showcasing fashion on a diverse platform. It’s about embracing inclusivity on runways featuring nonbinary and First Nations models as well as those with disabilities.

Runways will take over iconic sites like the Regent Plaza Ballroom, Federation Square, an underground MCG car park and the Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium. The muchloved Secret Garden Runway

Presented by Vogue at Gardens House in the Royal Botanic Gardens will see nature and fashion come together in an open-air event.

“It is a celebration of Melbourne opening up,” Melbourne lord mayor Sally Capp says. “It’s about people being able to come together again for a major event.”

The focus is on local Melbourne designers, with many other Aussie brands showcased, too. And the lord mayor hopes it will also give city retailers a much-needed boost.

“This is where we really get to test the runway-to-retail model,” Capp says. “It’s where you sit and watch a fashion show and gasp, thinking, ‘I love that and I want to buy it.’ We care about fashion in Melbourne – we

brands such as Acler, Camilla, Misha, Jason Grech and Nicola Finetti, and designer Dom Bagnato. Tracey will wear several looks.

“We wear clothes, we wear make-up and do all the human things that others do,” she says.

“Twelve years ago, there wasn’t anybody that I was aware of who was advocating for inclusion. I come from a long line of determined women in my family, so I put myself to even greater use and really took to advocating once I got injured. There’s a lot of red tape around; you have to be strong to navigate things.

“Some days, I get exhausted from all the work I do, but I wanted to be that person who women and men with disabilities could go to and ask,

Her own rehabilitation saw her take many trips to the United States, made possible by her family fundraising and re-mortgaging their home twice.

In 2013, she opened The Next Step SCI Recovery in Epping – a spinal cord injury centre that helps those with neurological disorders.

“We all want to walk again, but it’s not a reality for everyone,” Tracey says. “Walking is the least of my priorities now, and I physically do more things now than I ever did. I can get up and make breakfast; I can jump in my car and walk my dog.

“I created this facility to help others. Everybody has a next step in life, and it was about turning my pain into purpose. I wanted a place to exist that wasn’t there when I needed it.”

“Twelve years ago, there wasn’t anybody that I was aware of who was advocating for inclusion.” are aware of slow fashion, we question the status quo, we want inclusivity, we ask questions behind greenwashing.”

When it comes to fashion labels, Tracey is constantly on the lookout for brands that make it easy to access zips (from the front is preferred), and buttonholes on jeans large enough for hands that have lost their dexterity.

Being wheelchair-bound means those who want to access fashion usually need to go up a size for extra room and comfort when sitting down.

Tracey does want the option to wear bodycon dresses and loves leather skirts and blazers. Some days she opts for bohemian chic, and on others, she wants to wear skinny leg jeans.

“I have learned to love the body I am in and make it work for me,” she says.

The ticketed Plaza Ballroom Runway on November 15 will feature

how do we get this, what brands cater for somebody like us? A lot more needs to be done, but a lot has happened in the past 10 years too.

She says it’s thanks to Generation Y and Z, who have put their disability rights at the forefront of social conversations. Social media is another great platform to see how much work is happening behind the scenes.

“It’s one thing to be included in fashion runway, but there is so much more to inclusion than clothes,” says Tracey, who has more than 22,500 followers on her Instagram page, called MyWheelLife.

“It comes down to considering if spaces are possible to enter, how far are the disabled toilets located from a fashion show and do the brands make clothing that considers those of us who aren’t the mainstream.”

Adding to the inclusivity conversation are free online events called MFW Conversations. Does Visibility Equal Power will feature LGBTQIA activist and stylist Deni Todorovic, model and accessibility advocate Lisa Cox, Tarik Houchar from Hijab House, and Bella Management agent Chelsea Bonner.

Also on the agenda is Shifting Fashion’s Status Quo with Vogue editor Edwina McCann, acting chief executive of the Australia Fashion Council Kellie Hush, and Melbourne designer Margie Woods of Viktoria & Woods, looking at the global upheavals and what it means for fashion in 2022 and beyond. ● MELBOURNE FASHION WEEK \ Runs from November 15 - 21 ● mfw.melbourne.vic.gov.au

HOUSE OF THE WEEK BRIGHTON \ 6A KINANE STREET 4

Designed by architects Fender Katsalidis, Wave House, which has become a benchmark of innovative homes, is a stunning example of the prestigious firm’s creative approach to the built environment.

It was inspired by a love of art and displaying the client’s contemporary Australian collection was a driving consideration in the brief. The stainless-steel wave, executed by artist Darryl Cowie of DCG Design, makes a sculpture of the house itself.

Luxurious, robust materials and interesting textures are used throughout the interior in shades of light and dark grey.

Exquisite finishes, bespoke joinery, terrazzo, marble and timber blend to create a sophisticated, timeless interior.

The ground floor level comprises four living areas and has the feel of an open gallery. The main living room, with a stunning feature fireplace, opens to the outdoors. Here, the north-facing garden designed by landscape architects, Tract, is on two levels – one off the living room and one at lower-ground level. It is certainly a place to relax with a pool, barbecue kitchen, pergola, courtyard and water feature.

The rest of the home’s ground floor is sectioned into family room, formal dining room, an informal meals area and the steel and stone kitchen with Gaggenau and V-ZUG appliances.

Upstairs – via a beautifully muscular glass-encased staircase made of recycled wharf timbers – the main bedroom suite, with spa en suite and dressing room, indulgently claims the full depth of the home. The remaining bedrooms, and the family bathroom, are grouped around an upstairs courtyard.

The fitted home office has external access and shares the lower ground floor with the cellar, laundry, a bathroom, and the vast garage.

The house has Italian bathroom fittings, in-floor heating, ducted airconditioning, keyless entry, C-Bus automation and a security system. The cul-de-sac address is just a few doors from Brighton’s famous bathing box beach. The cafes and shops of Church and Were streets are nearby along with several schools. ● BEVERLEY JOHANSON property@domainreview.com.au
