Once Upon an Afternoon - Melbourne Spring Fashion Week

Melbourne’s ateliers, workshops, studios and independent stores are buzzing with the creativity of designers and artists who produce quirky, boundary-pushing fashion & design.

Once Upon an Afternoon showcases these Melbournian independent creatives, featuring jewellery design from EMMA JANE DONALD & METAL COUTURE, men’s wear from KOLLATE, women’s wear from PREAP & COUTTS and CHARLOTTE WEBB, t-shirts and streetwear by KOSI KOSI & CHAPTER 11, and a fabulous costume design finale by local costumier MARNIE BARCZAK. It’s an afternoon of fashion, art, film and music, with the fashion modelled by local DJs, performers and musicians; there’ll be DJs, showbags for the first hundred punters through the door and great video art by Leila Koren.

Think of it as an anti-fashion event for people who love fashion & design without the pretension - we don’t use models, we don’t strut the catwalk to ironic eighties house. It’s just good fashion, great design, and all available in Melbourne. Be there, and be part of the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week cultural program.

Stay tuned for ticketing details - on-sale through moshtix from August 4th!

Oh! The Horror!

Oh! The Horror! is a night of horror film and theatre, to be held at the Order of Melbourne in late August. It'll feature the best of local horror short film, DJs spinning horrible & ghoulish tracks, and horrible theatre performing skits throughout the night.

We're seeking submissions from film-makers for short, Australian horror films, to be screened as part of the event. Your film must be no longer than 10 minutes, and be in the horror genre.

What's in it for you? Exposure! Another forum for your short film to reach an audience hungry for horror. We'll screen your film with as part of a mini-festival, and feature you as a director on our website, as well as include you in the film program that every punter will get as they come through the door. It's a great opportunity to get your name out there.

What do I have to do? Send us the URL of your short film (on YouTube or Vimeo) and a brief bio, or a link to your website. That's it! We'll get back to you after the closing date to let you know the outcome!
