[Past Event] Silver Threads and Golden Needles

Amy Lawrance invites you to an intimate fashion presentation at The Oratory.

A collection of dresses that have been designed, pattern made and sewn by Amy in Melbourne/Naarm will be showcased in a thoughtful, slow-paced fashion show.

Attendees will be invited to pore over the translucent silks, silver threads and sculptural forms of these dresses as a cast of models slowly meander the light-filled space of the Oratory, to a soundtrack composed by musician and artist Rainbow Chan.

Taking place as part of Melbourne Fashion Festival’s Independent Programme, the show will seek to illuminate the value of slow hand-craft and the potential for centuries-old dress-making techniques to guide contemporary fashion.
