THERE'S A FASHION-FORWARD MAKERS MARKET THIS WEEKEND AT QUEEN VIC MARKET
The Fashion Edit Makers Market will ignite Melbourne's fashion scene this Saturday when it takes over Queen Victoria Market's iconic open-air sheds and laneways.
Fashion enthusiasts and trendsetters alike can step into a vibrant world where style meets innovation. The one-day event promises more than 45 stalls brimming with one-off creations and fashion-forward pieces. Marvel at and shop cutting-edge designs by some of the city's most talented makers.
Attendees can shop the stalls while enjoying electrifying beats from a resident DJ before quenching their thirst at the Brick Lane pop-up bar.
The stallholder line-up is set to impress and features an array of local, independent labels.
- The Only Label: jumpsuits, pants, dresses and jackets in bold colours and fun prints.
- Mama Movement: sustainable, colourful activewear and raincoats made from recycled plastic bottles.
- Days of Grace: an ethically conscious and socially responsible label showcasing feminine silhouettes in small runs that exude freedom and elegance.
- Loungewear Republic: cosy, matching loungewear sets in bright colours and neutrals, offering comfort and style for home relaxation.
- Von Myrce: historically-inspired apparel handmade in Melbourne using recycled and sustainable textiles – think contemporary fashion meets swashbuckling medieval troubadour.
- Sachi Craft: a wide range of fashion items upcycled from vintage Japanese kimono and yukata garments.
- Ms Whimsy: a collection of unique and practical handbags in vibrant colours and prints, all handcrafted in Melbourne.
