Fabulous designers and fashionistas…..spread the news – it’s on again!
Due to overwhelming success and favourable public feedback, Worn Wild is now a biannual event with the next instalment on Sunday the 15th of March coinciding with L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival.
Worn Wild, a public access, all-ages alt-designer market and trade fair first made its debut as part of the 2008 official program of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week. It was a huge success, attracting over 500 customers. Beyond this the effects are still being felt today through the increased sales and customer base of all the participating local and interstate designers and because most of the 27 exhibitors picked up new stockists from around Australia. We want to recreate that success again so you’ll be guaranteed we’re getting louder and larger than ever before!
For customers and industry buyers “Worn Wild” is the one-stop shop for all styles alternative. It’s a chance to see the full range on offer from each designer, try on items you have only ever seen on the net or order a custom-made design. You’ll be amazed by all the eye candy (punters and products!), individuality, diversity and volume on show.
Presented by GeoMythik / Starseeded Productions and hosted at La di da at 577 Little Bourke Street, “Worn Wild” features fashion, jewellery, giftware, homeware and accessories from cutting edge local and interstate designers. Rockabilly, raver, clubwear, cyberstyle, corsetry, street style, emo, gothic, lolita, queer, vintage, burlesque and flower powered flavours burst in a unique indoor/outdoor bustling market atmosphere. Doors open at 1pm with a frenzy of fashion and entertainment. Full bar, food service and atmospheric beats ensure that Worn Wild has it all.
Worn Wild is the first event of its kind in Australia. It caters to some of the most exciting ‘niches’ and is a hotspot for alternative and emerging designers less likely to be influenced by the latest season’s looks, hemlines, celebrities or new blacks. Finally there is a sales-driven, captivating and high energy event that does more than just put fashion on show.
Worn Wild – Offering a platform for design companies at the edge of fashion.
