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

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.”

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

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

ART

FOR ART’S SAKE

USING A NEW MEDIUM

new digital art gallery has found a permanent home at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, with works of impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh set to arrive in autumn. Don’t expect to find any original paintings by Van Gogh at The Lume; the emphasis here is on a digital transportation that is cerebral and sensory. More than 150 projectors will beam the Dutch master’s works across a 3000-square-metre space, designed to take you on a journey where the aural is enhanced, fragrance matters and the visual is intended to thrill. The artist, who sold only one painting during his lifetime — to his art-dealer brother Theo — is best known for The Starry Night (1889), Cafe Terrace at Night (1888) and the Sunflower series. Bruce Peterson, who also runs Grand Experiences, is the man behind The Lume. A former PE teacher who moved into digital exhibitions 16 years ago, he took a 12-month sabbatical in Italy with his young family. In 2013, he saw a permanent future in the business and bought the Leonardo Da Vinci museum in Rome – which he still runs. He has created some 200 digital shows, including

Alice in Wonderland and Italian Renaissance Masters, and has been to more than 32 cities. Peterson says his exhibitions are designed to shake up the traditional art world. He wants to take 19thcentury art and make it appealing to all ages. “Half of the visitors who attend our overseas shows were aged between 20-35,” he says. “Museums and galleries can’t attract that audience in great numbers these days, and they would love to engage them. “What we’ve found is a digital exhibition provides a perfect medium for that, but it’s ideal for all ages.”

“We haven’t had anything new like this come to Melbourne for years.” Van Gogh Alive is designed to be walked through at your own pace in about 90 minutes. “You come here to see an interpretation of Van Gogh’s art, get a background on who he was and learn about him along the way,” Peterson says. “We haven’t had anything new like this come to Melbourne for years. “We have existing galleries like ACMI, but we can always do with a few more cultural institutions to lift our profile even further globally.”

More than bring the heroes of the past to the present, Lume will also nurture local digital artists. “We have plenty of digital artists who make animated movies in Australia and this will be a platform for them to be featured. Nurturing the next generation is part of our bigger picture too.” ● AUSTRALIA’S DIGITAL ART GALLERY \ Van Gogh Alive tickets go on sale later this month ● thelume.com/melbourne

Korea in a parcel

want everyone to eat salted pollock roe sacks. But given language is filled with connotations, let’s call them caviar parcels. They’re the most revelatory part of my online order from Mumchan, a family business owned by Alum Choi that offers between 60 to 85 traditional Korean dishes at any one time, mostly banchan (side dishes). Before Mumchan opened in 2019, Alum spent a decade managing Korean restaurants, which is how she met her husband, a chef. Mumchan’s ingredients are a combination of seasonal market finds and imported produce from Korea, such as dehydrated spring mountain vegetables. Mumchan delivers during the week, with set days for most Melbourne suburbs. The restaurant in Laverton seats about 20 people and the city takeaway store has a few stools to scoff and go. The restaurants have plenty of banchan, plus kimbap – likened to sushi but with ingredients like perilla leaf, kimchi, luncheon ham and cheese – as well as traditional dishes. The weekly set supposedly serves one couple two to three meals. Add rice and it’s more like four. The caviar parcels, or myeongran-jeot, are a tiny part of it. Minuscule eggs are naturally packaged within a pink membrane. I love the full smack of salt and

texture, but if you’re just getting acquainted, mix them through steamed rice with mayonnaise and top with a fried egg and sliced avocado. My set also contains two soups: galbi ugeoji guk, soybean-based beef short rib and cabbage; and soon doo bu, supple tofu squares and pork-belly slices in a garlicky, gochugaru chilli broth. Fried chicken, warmed in my air fryer, is escorted by garlic soy sauce and sweet, pickled radish. And that's before we get to the banchan: blanched and stir-fried julienned potato, a lightly fermented white cabbage kimchi and dried anchovies and walnuts in tacky honey-soy dressing. I can’t resist extras. The standouts are flower-like lotus root slices in sweet, sticky soy and godeungeo kimchi jjim – braised mackerel fillets wrapped in cabbage kimchi that taste like someone else's grandma’s specialty. Mumchan leaves such an impression that I visit the city shop a few days later to restock for a dinner party. ●

“Our wine list contains all the heavy hitters from Mount Mary, Gaia and Leeu Estates,” Bagnara says. “Our customers identify with labels, want premium and know the table next door will notice what they’re drinking.” Bagnaro says a sommelier will always tell you what they enjoy and why – if you’re asking. But he urges those out drinking not to hesitate when it comes to finding out the specifics. Charisma is dealt in spades by The Little Prince Wine Room’s head sommelier Laurent Rospars. He brings more than 30 years’ experience to the

hen it comes to choosing your next bottle of wine at a restaurant, the sommelier is there to steer your palate’s preference to the right drop. But just how you get there depends on the conversation. Matthew Jensen is head sommelier at Farmer’s Daughters in the CBD. While the menu reflects the heart of Gippsland, the wine list also riffs on the region. From South Gippsland’s Bass Phillip to the region’s famous winemakers Patrick Sullivan and William Downey, getting the most out of your wine comes down to letting the sommelier know if you want classic or are willing to bend the rules. “Sometimes people feel they have to sound educated when they talk about wines, but I don’t want them to feel that there is any expectation on our part,” Jensen says. Getting it right can be downright confusing – and unless you’re an aficionado, collector or wine geek, saying you want a dry white when you mean creamy crisp, or a sweet red that doesn’t mean dessert is on your mind, can be a tricky process to navigate. “It’s our job to decode what customers are saying,” Jensen says. “The more they talk to us, the better we get at figuring out what they mean.” Sacha Imrie, head sommelier at Daughter In Law and Mrs Singh swapped a career as a sculptor for wine, arriving here eight years ago from Scotland. She’s all about capturing a colourful wine list. “The wine lists are comprehensive and suitable for everyone,” Imrie says. “We don’t want to isolate diners; there are conventional bottle choices, natural wines, different price points. We have to cover a bit of ground but still want to be interesting.” She will often ask diners what they drink at home to get a glimpse into their private world. “If you don’t talk to the customers properly, they’ll accept your first suggestion and not ask for anything else.” Wines on high rotation include a riesling from Valentine Wines in the Yarra Valley and reds you can chill, where heavier grapes are combined with lighter grapes for a happy medium – think Precipice Wines and Meadowbank from Tasmania. Bar Bianco’s wine list brings to Hawksburn what European-inspired wine bars deliver northside – think Marion, Neighbourhood Wines. Sommelier Glen Bagnara, of Hemingway’s Wine Room in East Melbourne, says a good quality wine list lessens the guess work for the client, but there’s always room for discussion.

masterly wine list and recently started posting a Wine of the Week on Instagram to encourage palates to go where they may not have been before. “The wine list represents old school wines, the classics,” Rospars says. So, how do you handle a sommelier who knows everything? Rospars says to go with the flow and let them take you on a ride. “I have between 5000 and 6000 types of wine represented here,” Rospars says. “So, it’s all about telling me what you like, trusting the process and enjoying the journey I take you on.” ●

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

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,”

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

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.

Through the International Baccalaureate, Preshil delivers a rich, engaging and rigorous curriculum informed by leading pedagogical research and supported by a global network of leaders in education. The Preshil community revolves around the uncompromising focus on and respect for the individuality, passions and future aspirations of each student.

Wo r d s

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 HAWTHORN \ 45 CHRYSTOBEL CRESCENT 6

When artist Charles Blackman moved to Melbourne in 1951, he and his wife Barbara found digs just off Glenferrie Road. For the next decade – during which he created his most famous works, notably Alice in Wonderland and the

Schoolgirls series – Blackman wrote on the back of his canvases: “45 Chrystobel Crescent, Hawthorn.” Looking up at this imposing 1880s citadel, it’s hard to imagine a 23-year-old cafe dish-pig affording the rent. But Blackman was canny; he lodged in the rear coach house and used the loft as his studio. Modest rent, swanky address. Great provenance for whoever lives here next. The Blackmans must have liked it here; they named their daughter Christabel. Once described by the Camberwell Historical Society as a “crumbling mansion”, the slate-roofed house is now rock solid and glorious, thanks to an extensive renovation. Leadlight hand-painted with birds, full-height sash windows, marble fireplaces and a double-arched hall are some of the original details the Blackmans would have admired as they loitered in the garden. At the front, bay-window sitting and dining rooms, with chandeliers and brocade curtains, make beautiful venues for executive entertaining. The study has a fitted desk and bookcases, as does the retreat. Busy families will enjoy the modern stone kitchen, which has Gaggenau appliances and a bay-window meals area.
