Brisbane based fashion label Cyan Reign will be launching their new collection at the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week (1st – 6th September).

Im sure that Fashion label Wheels & Doll Baby need no introduction. Celebrities such as Dita von Teese, Sadie Frost and yes even Buffy have all been seen in the label.
The best thing though is that even though the brand has a huge following, the clothes are fully made here in Australia.

The Melbourne Spring Fashion Week Breakfast Series, presented by Design Victoria, is a must attend event for all designers, marketers, retailers and business leaders wanting to connect to their customers throughout the four phases of the retail lifecycle:

Day 1 – Temptation and Seduction
Day 2 – Love
Day 3 – Marriage
Day 4 – Separation Blues. Saving the Marriage

1-4 September
ZINC at Federation Square

Tickets can be purchased online at thatsmelbourne.com.au
