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

ALEC KUGLER

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.

New this month S O FIA L E VI N

F

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.

Shorten’s Labor in vain T H E R E VI E W

F

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

Here are two new houses for sale in Thornbury, each comprising four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a powder room across two lengthy levels.

The houses have been cleverly designed to incorporate as much outdoor space as possible into the floor plan, including a courtyard and covered al fresco area that are almost separate rooms in the house. Meanwhile, backyards separate each property’s rumpus/retreat from the rest of each respective house.

Thanks to its separation from the rest of the building, that rumpus could also work as an external retreat or home office. Head back inside the house and you’ll find a large living room, which flows into the dining room and kitchen, and around the covered al fresco area. These are definitely houses for those who love to cook – there are three pantries in the kitchen plus a sizeable walk-in pantry, which is adjacent to the downstairs powder room. There’s a laundry here too, and access through the courtyard to the lock-up garage.

Head up the stairs at the front entrance to get to the first floor, which is where you’ll find all the bedrooms. The main bedroom at the front of the house has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, complete with double vanity.

Both of the next two bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and are separated by the upstairs bathroom. At the end of the hall you’ll find the fourth bedroom option, although this room could also work as an upstairs family retreat if required.
