Melbourne, Spring is nearly here which means it’s time to round up the top 5 FREE things to do during Fashion Week.
We can’t wait to kick up our heels and celebrate Spring in style! And one of our favourite things about MSFW is that it’s not just about the Runways (incredible though they may be!) – there’s a whole raft of activities to enjoy throughout Festival week.
We’ve done the hard yards, and rounded up our favourite free MSFW for you to enjoy over the coming weeks. There’s something for every Melbourne Girl (or Boy!) to enjoy, and celebrate all things fashion and style in our beautiful city.
