Last week I was invited to the opening party of Oak off Chapel. Staying true to Melbourne’s love of all things hidden, the gallery come fashion co-op is set in a disused warehouse down a lane with you guessed it, minimal signage.
Despite the sweltering conditions, it was worth the trip to meet some amazing design talent and discover some new labels some of which I predict will be ones to watch.
Enjoy the party pics.
