Snapshots: Prue Acton explores the three distinct periods of Acton’s fashion life – the short-skirted sixties, Australiana eighties and her late focus on business attire. With strong emphasis on her distinctly Australian wear – prominent positioning is dedicated to her dark, seemingly office-like ‘Dressmaker’ ensemble, worn at the 1987 Melbourne Cup – audiences are encouraged to acknowledge the significant contribution Acton has made to the Australian fashion landscape.

Find out how Hinny Tran and Stephanie Ferraro, two of the talented minds behind subversive creative collective Fred Hates Fashion, are cracking the shell of the fashion industry to expose the talent underneath in their interview with Vanessa Gerrie.

Hannah Kuhar speaks to Teneille Clarke, the artist behind Tenfingerz, about the nature of fashion shows, the Melbourne fashion scene and the importance of wearing colourful underpants.

The Dark Social was Fred Hates Fashion’s first foray into the still exhibition landscape and was a celebration of five designers they have worked with previously: Vincent Li, Jasmine Alexa, Yesterdays Virgins, Matcho Suba and Millie Mosca. The choice in designers was a considered one, diverse in skill and aesthetic; this only made the show, as a whole, stronger. It also displayed the manifold talent of the Melbourne fashion scene and demanded the viewer to take notice of each designer’s individuality. Vanessa Gerrie reviews.
