This is Voxfrock’s take on a runway concept as brave and rare as it is logical: a show pitched at women who have lived long enough, become discerning enough, and are traditionally cashed-up enough to invest in good fashion. Who knew! What’s your take on this strangely strange fashion phenomenon?

Melbourne Fashion Festival‘s divisible “F@&# The Invisible” show was a curation of bits of brands picked especially for women not fond of stepping back (ie: into the social shadows) after “une certain age”.
In fact, I’ve never met a woman in need of romper bloomers or peaked satin flashsleeves to stomp their stamp on a youth obsessed world. (Actual odd-ballers scattered through the show’s more realistic mo-derne options.) However, show any self-confident woman of mature years a chic bespoke silver trench or fully-floofed dirndl and tailored silk military blouse and -odds on – they’ll reconsider their beloved “invisible” classics any day.
There was suchmuch to love in this cringy-named show but, most deliciously on its coincidence with International Women’s Day, was the crazylove joy of designers for other designers; the wild applause and jealousless support. It’s a girl thang.
