The Social Studio/Hunter Gatherer Street Party Fashion Parade
This Friday we’re showcasing our recent collaboration with the Brotherhood of St Lawrence’s vintage label Hunter Gatherer for the Brunswick Street foot traffic with a parade, music and drinks.
Recycled vintage garments have been chosen by our designers from the Hunter Gather store and then reworked into new pieces with African influences.
All garments will be modelled by the Social Studio designers and friends. There will also be opportunity to buy the reworked pieces on the night.
The parade will be filmed by ABC Arts, so it would be great to see your handsome faces in the crowd.
Friday 12th March, 6 -7pm, 274 Brunswick St, Fitzroy (right beside the Hunter Gatherer shop)
Open Studio Day for the L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival Cultural Program
The Social Studio will be joining in on the LMFF’s Open Studio Day, where Melbournians can go ‘behind the seams’ and step into the workspaces of local creatives.
If you haven’t visited our studio yet, it’s a great chance to see our brilliant team of designers in full swing, walk through our recycled and convertible studio fit-out, and chat to our staff about our creative and community initiatives.
Our café will also be open, so make sure you mark us onto your Open Studio trail and stop by for a hello.
Sunday 21st March, 12- 3pm. Find us at 128 Smith Street Collingwood.
