Description:
'Think David LaChapelle, not Anna Wintour.' That's how event organisers are describing this art and fashion gathering. DLC certainly knows how to 'party', but he better watch out because Anna's out there launching the zingers on Letterman. Anyway, this showcase of local designers and artists promises to be just as ad-hoc as one of the photographer's infamous studio sessions.

Where would Melbourne be without the black dress? Partly naked that's where! It would be like a cold, rainy version of Las Vegas! What a downer. Tullia Jack and her team have conceived a black dress tribute exhibition for Melbourne Spring Fashion Week. It's serious stuff. They whittled all the entries down to ten designers (including Kristy Barber from Kuwaii) with the help of judging panel Joe Saba, Nikita Papas and Melbourne's best-dressed man Robert Buckingham.
