The Perfect List of Fashion Inspired Activities in Melbourne

September 30, 2024
Fashion plays a role in our everyday lives, so we have curated five fashion inspired activities in Melbourne that revolve around all things style.

Fashion is like a living, breathing expression of your personality- a physical social media account that tells the world who you are. It connects you to communities, reflects your values, and reveals what you love. Fashion is shaped by many factors: the ethics behind its production, the accessibility of its price point, and the exclusivity of its supply. Most importantly, it plays a role in our everyday lives. This issue delves into fashion — not just what we wear, but the stories our clothing tells. In celebration of all things stylish, we’ve curated five fashion inspired activities in Melbourne that revolve around all things style.

Hee Cho Ring Making Class

Accessories have the power to transform a simple outfit into a fashion-forward statement. To help you hone your personal style, why not join an engaging and creative ring-making class with Hee Cho? Based on Elizabeth Street in Melbourne, Hee Cho offers hands on workshops where you’ll craft organic-shaped silver rings adorned with stunning gemstones- think Millie Savage meets Desiderate. For a fraction of the price of a professionally made piece, you’ll design your own custom jewellery — wearable art that’s entirely your own. All materials are provided, and you’ll learn everything from stone setting to the intricate wax-to-silver shaping technique. Plus, with the opportunity to make more than one piece, you can even create a matching set for yourself and a loved one. Ready to design your own statement pieces? Book your class here.

Colour Analysis Studio

One trend that’s been blowing up on my FYP is colour season analysis. According to style experts, each person falls into a specific colour season — think summer, warm summer, cool autumn, and so on.  Knowing which colours enhance your complexion can help you curate a wardrobe that truly flatters you — it can even guide decisions on everything from hair colour to the perfect lipstick shade. It’s a fascinating aspect of style that can completely shift your fashion perspective. If you’re curious about your own colour season or want expert advice to elevate your style, check out the Colour Analysis Studio. With over 20k Instagram followers, they’re trusted experts in this field. Discover their services and transform your look here.
