EMILY WEAVING

Autumn in Melbourne. As someone who grew up in Perth’s perpetual summer, to me there is nothing quite like “jumper weather”. It’s also the time of year where the city comes alive with festivals – comedy, food & wine and, of course, fashion. The Paypal Melbourne Fashion Festival is set to showcase our city’s unique sartorial aesthetic. Our cover stars, Sydneysiders Camilla and Marc, say Melburnians’ appreciation of winter fashion is part of what has made their brand successful here. They tell us about their new Chadstone store and being a part of the David Jones runway at MFF. ●

MY MELBOURNE

Tim Rogers

T

im Rogers & The Twin Set are on the road touring a new album, Tines of Stars Unfurled, their first in 23 years.

It was Rogers’ solo debut What Rhymes with Cars and Girls, released in 1999, that earned him an ARIA for best male artist.

His sidestep from the band You Am I into the twangy glow of The Twin Set is where Rogers leans into a softer country reflection and delivers the sequel to the original set of songs.

Rogers is joined by Jen Andersen on strings, Davey Lane (of You Am I) on guitar, Jeff Consi on drums and Richard Bradbeer on bass.

We asked Rogers, who recently moved from St Kilda to a small town on Dja Dja Wurrung country (central Victoria), to tell us his favourite things about our great city. ●

The celebrated rocker shares his favourite things about Melbourne.

he Paypal Melbourne Fashion Festival kicks off this week, and though they’re not doing their own show this year, Sydney designers Camilla and Marc couldn’t say no to having their pieces appear in the David Jones Runway on March 4.

“Melbourne is very conscious and considered in its fashion; there’s a sophisticated sensibility and something quite European about the style and way of living that we are inspired by,” says one half of the brother-and-sister duo, Camilla Freeman-Topper.

And to prove further the importance of Melbourne and its fashion fans to their brand, Camilla and Marc are making their boutique debut at Chadstone Shopping Centre this April.

The pair have contemplated a bricks-and-mortar concept at the centre for a while, and have had a pop-up trading since February as a test-run.

Marc Freeman says the Melbourne woman is very specific when it comes to her wardrobe, and it made sense for the brand to expand its retail footprint in the Australian designer section at Chadstone.

“Investment pieces, the timeless coat, tailored suiting and trenches are the most popular – the climate really lends itself to the layering pieces,” he says. “Melbourne appreciates well-made leather goods – particularly boots, which we bring out every winter.”

Being front and centre with an international audience was a huge drawcard behind the pair’s decision to enter the luxury fashion destination.

“Chadstone brings in an international customer that we know really resonates with our brand’s design, craftsmanship and values, and aligns with our business trajectory for global expansion,” Camilla says.

They have collaborated with Akin on the design concept – the store is minimalist in its aesthetic and has a colour palette far more muted than other C&M stores around the country.

A plinth and tables by RE Studio Collective are made from recycled timber, tiles, tyres, marble and brick. There’s an artisan energy to the new space – think sculptural works and lighting elegance.

“We’ve sourced some beautiful vintage pieces that have been reupholstered to suit the store aesthetic, and gone with a more neutral colour palette than any other boutiques, to allow the collections the light they deserve,” Camilla says.

Also showing at Melbourne Fashion Festival is local designer Rosemary Masic – adored for her romantic and nostalgic womenswear at Nevenka.

Cult followers fly in from interstate to enjoy her slow fashion opulence on the runway. And for someone who has shown at Paris Fashion Week multiple times in the 15 years of her brand, she says there’s something very grounding about serving a local clientele.

“I love being part of the festival because I bring my VIP clients along to enjoy it too,” Masic says.

“I am obsessed with design and detail, from the buttons in my garments to the silk that lines them. There is no synthetic or polyester in any of my materials.

“Seeing 13 looks come down the runway this MFF is a chance to see the clothing in motion, which is really important too.”

This year she’s also dipping into some archives to regenerate ideas.

“I attract women who love individualism,” Masic says. “She loves one of a kind. She likes vintage shopping and goes to great lengths to look for brands that are different.”

Whitehouse fashion graduate Amy Cottrell makes her runway debut at the National Graduate Showcase.

The Mildura-born and Melbourne-based designer says her family’s farming background gave her a greater understanding of the impact of climate change, and inspired her collection Plasticity.

COVER STORY

Fashion’s big names and new talent are poised to take the runway at MFF.

“I look at plastic in my collection and explore how it went from a great idea when it was first introduced to being an environmental disaster,” Cottrell says. “My goal was to repurpose and reuse plastic to make garments that are not harmful to the environment.”

She turns plastic bottles into fashionable works of art. “I put plastic bottles in the oven and even tried melting them with lighters to see what I could achieve,” she says. “All the colour in the garments comes from bio-plastic which is cooked in a pot.”

Cottrell’s works are futuristic and edgy with a classical aesthetic.

“Taking part in MFF is so exciting – I get to see my silhouettes on the runway,” she says.

“I start with a strapless dress but it’s the applique that is the hero.

As part of MFF’s cultural program, the art dance installation Shop I Am explores the role of fashion in contemporary culture.

It’s the work of Melbourne choreographer Nebahat Erpolat, who wants us to think outside the square when it comes to the clothing we choose.

For her, fashion is more than the garments we wear. In this new work, she looks at identity and politics and their impact on the fashion landscape.

She asks, can individualism be obtained through fashion and at what cost?

It’s a fair enough question, and one designed to stir all the feels, prompting you to look at your fashion armour and ask yourself – who am I? ● PAYPAL MELBOURNE FASHION FESTIVAL \ March 3-11. ● melbournefashionfestival.com.au

Body of water TRAVEL The restorative power of

thermal springs gets a new home at Alba.

I

t’s a sparkling sunny morning and I’m nicely ensconced in the balmy, mineral-rich waters of Alba thermal springs, a bit over an hour – but seemingly a lifetime away – from the bustle of Melbourne.

I’ve joined the ranks of the spa crowd, clad in a fluffy white gown and slippers, winding my way

through 31 pools on a gently sloping hill. Down below, some of the early visitors are rewarding themselves with a coffee at Thyme restaurant.

The Mornington Peninsula may well be called Australia’s spa capital with the arrival of the glamorous Alba complex, next door to the established Peninsula Hot Springs.

Both draw on the naturally heated, mineral-rich waters that lie beneath the coastal bushland.

Bathing in hot springs has been popular for centuries. Think of Japan’s onsen or the ancient Greeks, who believed in the healing powers of mineral waters.

Designed by Hayball, the Alba spa makes quite a statement on arrival.

At check-in, visitors are asked to turn off their mobile phones and the signal is deliberately weak in case someone tries to cheat.

“This is a digital detox destination,” general manager Craig Dodd says.

Across 15 hectares are 22 geothermal, cold-plunge and botanically infused pools, plus nine private pools on Alba’s rooftop.

I start at the furthest Forest Pool (38 to 41 degrees) and work my way back. (Tip: Check a map before you set off.)

I’m just getting into the swing of hot-spring bathing when I go inside for my massage with therapist Leah.

It’s my first time having a massage with heated stones and oil and I must admit I’m a little sceptical.

But the stones are smooth, the oil seductively warm and eventually my tired muscles decide to unwind.

In all, there are 22 spa rooms with about 30 treatments.

Food is not forgotten here, and I break for lunch at the 80-seat Thyme restaurant, where Karen Martini has designed a healthy and delicious menu and Mario di Natale heads up the kitchen. And there are some nice local drops to indulge in.

Interestingly, visitors are limited to about 400 a day here while Peninsula Hot Springs can cater for about 700.

This is reflected in the price difference between the two places.

“We limit numbers to afford true tranquillity,” says spa director Sonja Sorich.

“Our focus is to provide guests with the opportunity to reconnect with themselves and nature.”

Sorich has travelled the globe, checking out bath houses and geothermal springs and believes Alba is world-class. “We’re hightouch versus high-tech,” she says.

While the wellness industry has been booming for several years, Sorich says the pandemic helped people appreciate how important health and social connection are.

She feels she’s lucky to work in such a place.

“Sometimes I go bathing at the end of my day and I feel like I’ve been transported to another land.”

Well, the mix of fresh air, nature, thermal pools, good food and beautiful surroundings certainly works a treat for me. ● ● albathermalsprings.com.au

s the first non-binary Australian TV media personality, Brihony Dawson is basking in the attention coming their way.

From being a sports commentator to an emcee and a live music entertainer, Dawson has spent the past 10 years doing what they love most – being front and centre.

And who can say their band opened for The Killers on their Australian tour last year?

Dawson can.

While the career highs have been many, Dawson has worked hard to make sure the ball is in their court in the competitive world of media and entertainment.

From hosting the first season of The Challenge Australia last year, to joining Fox Footy’s AFLW commentating team this season, there are plenty of reasons to be cheerful.

But it’s a new role as ambassador for Squealing Pig’s Summer of Love campaign – in which wine labels carry one of the nine flags that represent the LGBTQI+ community – that piqued their interest.

“I always knew I was different from a really young age and it definitely took a long time to look inwards.”

BRIHONY DAWSON

“For a wine brand to commit to embracing the trans, gay, lesbian, bi and non-binary community was a big commitment in my eyes,” Dawson says.

If you happened to be at the VRC’s Women’s Oaks Day Luncheon last October, you’ll recall Dawson shared an impromptu duet with Delta Goodrem – singing an Olivia Newton John song together.

“I love Delta,” Dawson says. “I worked with her when I was a stage manager at Crown. I would get Delta on the stairs at the Atrium to do performances.

I stood up at my table that day at Crown when she started singing and walked toward her and belted out a chorus, it was so much fun.”

A three-day media course during lockdown proved fruitful. It was undertaken through the Office of Women’s Sport and Recreation, which was on the look-out for more women and genderdiverse broadcasters.

“It was Lucy and Emma Race of The Outer Sanctum podcast who encouraged me to move into commentating. They told me I was born to do it,” Dawson says, smiling.

Growing up in Frankston with their mother and brother Luke involved a lot of sport. Father Brian also enjoyed a kick of the footy and backyard cricket with his kids.

Brian, best-known as Hank, worked as a respected copywriter for Clemenger, known for his award-winning commercials, and died when Brihony was 15. Their parents were separated at the time of Brian’s passing and it left a huge hole in Dawson’s life.

Dawson didn’t come out as non-binary until their 30s. “I always knew I was different from a really young age and it definitely took a long time to look inwards,” they say.

“I was traumatised by my father’s death and learning so much about myself at 15. I had plenty going on with my own identity and dealing with his loss at the same time.

A day after turning 18, Dawson packed their bags and headed to the Ballarat Arts Academy. “I saw a lot of gay people there and it was eye-opening,” they say. “At the end of my first year, I came out to Mum. She was surprised but fine with it. The journey of discovering my gender expression took longer. I identified as a lesbian for most of my life, but I really questioned stepping into being non-binary around eight years ago. That’s when being gender fluid mattered and pronouns didn’t anymore.” ● THE CHALLENGE: WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP \ Co-hosted by Brihony Dawson, now streaming on Paramount+.

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

A step in the right direction

TOORAK COLLEGE

A

fter leaving Toorak College, Dr Vera Scantlebury Brown became one of the first women in Australia to study medicine at the University of Melbourne. She graduated in 1914 and then began a long and impressive career working in hospitals and health centres.

Along the way, Scantlebury Brown became a pioneer in infant welfare, antenatal care and preschool care. Much of her influence and insight, particularly in infant and preschool healthcare, remains today.

Scantlebury Brown may have graduated from Toorak College more than a century ago, but she embodies the determination, fearlessness and optimism that is still very much part of the independent girls’ school.

“I think it’s always been in the fabric of Toorak College to give girls a head-start and to focus not only on their time at school but on the world beyond,” says principal Kristy Kendall.

“We believe that we are here to challenge the world, and we give an unapologetic advantage to our students so that, in the future, we will see more women in leadership positions and in industries like science, engineering, maths and politics.”

For the past five years, Kendall and leaders at Toorak College have been working with the broader school community and with industry leaders to create opportunities for students to gain industry insights and discover potential career pathways.

While the idea that any career is possible begins to be embedded from ELC, in years 9 and 10, students are able to spend periods of time shadowing people in workplaces within industries that appeal to them. Recently, a group of students considering careers in architecture shadowed employees at Cox Architecture.

Currently, the school is exploring future opportunities for students to learn about career pathways in mine rehabilitation and associated issues of sustainability, economic impact and how the rehabilitated land could be used to help solve Australia’s housing crisis.

“We look at what students are interested in and find opportunities through our parents and our collegian or corporate connections,” Kendall says. “We continue to diversify but science,

engineering, marketing and design are popular fields for our students.

“They gain a lot of insights during these experiences and, in some cases, students wipe a potential career off their card because it might not be what they expected. So, they learn more about what type of career they want and what they don’t want their future to look like.”

With support from industry heavyweights – such as Downer Group and stem cell business Cell Care – Toorak College has also developed a successful and innovative cadet program. After work-experience visits in years 10 and 11, in year 12 students can apply to join the cadet program.

As part of the program with Downer, a business with diverse interests in transport, transport infrastructure, road services, airports, ports and

TOORAK COLLEGE \ Old Mornington Road, Mount Eliza ● 9788 7200 ● toorakcollege.vic.edu.au

renewable energy, two year 12 students are chosen to join the company.

After leaving Toorak College they enrol at university but also work in a paid position with Downer while completing their degree. When they graduate, they have a guaranteed job with the company. Kendall is hoping more corporates and industries will join the program in the near future.

“We are in an unprecedented time in terms of employment and talent,” Kendall says. “Industries are wondering how they can find talent and how they can attract talented people to their workforce.

We see this program as part of the solution.

“At school, we are a small part of our students’ journey but we want to set them up for a long and successful career beyond our school walls.” ● SARAH MARINOS

Standing on Farrell Street, you’ll think Clarice is looking good for a property with a birthdate of around 1905.

This perfectly preserved Victorian cottage, predominantly white with a block-fronted facade, contrasting black door and monochromatic tessellated tiles along the verandah, is set behind a white picket fence.

In other words, the ol’ gal is ticking all the right boxes to ooze period charm and fit right in with the streetscape.

Set on a corner block, take a few steps down Albert Street, though, and you’ll see that Clarice is not all that she appears. Rising over two levels, the striking architectural combination of red brick, vertical timber panelling and black framed windows comprise a substantial contemporary extension.

“The clever design of the home was focused on easy, modern living with a heavy focus on incorporating as much natural light as possible,” explains agent Justin Holod.

Clerestory windows in both the downstairs open-plan kitchen and living area, plus upstairs as well, complement floor-to-ceiling glazed doors, skylight and standard windows when it comes to brightening the interiors.

“Enjoying an extra-wide allotment allows for larger than usual living spaces, bedrooms and hallways,” says Holod of the floor plan that has retained the traditional hallway and some period aesthetics of the two ground floor bedrooms.

The rest has been reimagined for modern living, with solid European oak floors taking you along the hall, past the contemporary main bathroom (with a free-standing bath, walk-in shower and underfloor heating) to the living

Flow through this space to the decked al fresco entertaining zone and garden, with a built-in outdoor barbecue kitchen. Gate access here also allows for easy off-street, secure parking.

Upstairs offers its own seclusion. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. A separate retreat space up here could be used as another sitting room or home office, while a balcony, cut into the original roofline, offers both privacy and city views.

Other features include auto external blinds upstairs, a Euro laundry, hydronic heating and split-system air-conditioning, plus extensive roof storage. ● JOANNE BROOKFIELD Agent: Marshall White, Justin Holod 0411 669 161 Price: $2 million-$2.2 million Auction: 2.30pm, March 4
