Fashion, travel, lifestyle & dress hire
Every May, the Australian (and global) fashion world’s attention is on Sydney, for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia (MBFWA). Celebrities, bloggers, influencers, photographers and retailers come from all over to watch as our country’s best and most promising designers and labels showcase their latest collections with amazing runway shows and exhibitions.
The start of 2019 has been a busy period for us as far as website improvement goes. We’ve just released a major new feature which will make it even easier for you to find and book the perfect dress for your occasion (which is basically our company mantra!).
As of late March, the ATD website will let you know whether a particular dress is also available from other rental companies. This means that if you find that your dream dress is booked out for your event date, or if its not available in your size, you can instantly see who else you can book from, out of our 20+ professional rental company partners!
The Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival is a celebration of fashion, arts, ideas and creative endeavour. Melbourne is abuzz as bloggers, influencers, photographers, celebrities and retailers come to watch Australia’s best established and emerging designers at world class runway shows, stunning productions and other events.
Often just as interesting as the shows though, are the inventive and inspiring looks assembled by those attending. Here are 16 of the best street-style looks from VAMFF 2019!
All The Dresses recently conducted a survey with businesses in the designer hire industry in Australia. With limited publicly available research on the industry, we felt it was important to find a way to estimate growth of the sector, and understand business and consumer sentiment.
What better way than to ask those who live and breath it on a daily basis – the owners of most of Australia’s professional designer clothing hire businesses.
We sent the survey to over 40 of these businesses, with an emphasis on those that run all or part of their business through a website with full e-commerce capability.
In the heat of a serious Australian summer, whether we are under the air conditioner at work, trying to concentrate, or lounged on a deck somewhere dreaming of snowflakes, pretty much none of us would pass up a frosty cocktail. Here are some of the best trending beverages by the cleverest of bartenders to whet your very warm palate, and some recipes to try at home.
In a press release by the UN Climate Change framework on 10 December, a fashion industry led charter was created and signed onto by over 40 contributors, to encourage the fashion industry to improve its sustainability and decrease its environmental impact from within. It’s named: The Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action.
Is it just us, or sometime in the last five years, did our mums become cooler than us?
Either that, or they always have been, and we’ve been too blind to see it!
Treat your uber cool mumma this Christmas with gifts so cool that they don’t feel materialistic… Plus they’ll get here on time. Here is your fool-proof guide to treating yo mama with stylish respect.
Summer in Sydney… Is there anything like it? As the sun sets over Australia’s golden seaside city, we clamber for a seat in one of the many striking venues the cities has to offer… or we compromise a little on the aesthetic of the venue for a jaw-dropping view.
Just kidding, these Sydney venues are both gorgeous inside and looking out! We’ve put the best for the season together, so all that’s left for you to do is rally the troops, get there early enough to score a seat, and reach for a deliciously dry rosé, or your favourite spritz.
Ahh, springtime. As the sun comes out and the flowers bloom, winemakers carefully start to monitor the budburst of grape vines, while wine drinkers begin to swap that hearty red for a deliciously dry Rosé. Where better to do it than on location?
A little while ago, we shared some wineries that are convenient to Adelaide and lovely in the winter time here – but this is our sunny, spring time take. This tour is going to take us to McLaren Vale, just 45 minutes south of Adelaide’s CBD, with five wineries all close enough to fit into one tour, if you’re clever!
Get ready for umbrellas on decks, sea breezes and juicy, juicy wine.
We don’t know about you, but we always feel marginally better binge-watching Netflix if it’s a string of docos, or a series based on real life events.
Whether you need inspiration from living legends or aspiring talents, or want to open your eyes to a couple of harsh realities, we’ve got something fashun-funky for your lazy Sunday.
