OUT is a guide to gigs, parties, studio sales and other events in Melbourne. It's what tourist brochures call nightlife but to us it is simply life and so we also include events that refuse to be categorised. We believe that good, clean fun is a contradiction, that a bottle of beer should never cost $10, and that a queue is our cue to leave, or at least lie about being on the doorlist.

Description:
Staying on top of trends in fashion isn't so much a chore as a full-time job, which is tough because you need at least another full-time job to fund your desire to buy picnic blankets with sleeves and perfect leather bags. Luckily, the good people at New York based Refinery29 made it their full-time job, supplying us tasty fashion in daily bite-sized portions through their online publication.
Event: Talk
Stimulus: Be the next Princess Mary
What:
Nevada Duffy Winter Collection preview
Where:
165 Gore St, Fitzroy
When:
Sat Mar 20, 3-5pm
How much:
Free entry!
Description:
Can't tell you too much about this one, aside from the fact Nevada makes incredible magic 'Totem' pants that blow the mind of anyone who witnesses them in person. You'd imagine with magic pants in her arsenal, the rest of her brand new collection will contain plenty of hand-cut gems with the perfect fit and attention to detail that is only possible when the designer herself is in charge of all aspects of production.
Event: Fashion show
Stimulus: Be the next Princess Mary
What:
Pinch and Spoon market stall
Where:
Rose St Artist Market, 60 Rose St, Fitzroy
When:
Sun Mar 21, 11am–5pm
How much:
Cheap treasure!
Description:
Pinch and Spoon is a WA-based fashion label that creates one-off mini masterpieces out of vintage frocks and found things. We're not telling you to pinch pennies and buy a ticket to Perth anytime soon, but we are softly nudging you towards the (much more geographically agreeable) Rose St Artist Market this Sunday because Isobel is bringing the whole operation to Melbourne.
Event: Markets
