The editor’s desk

The Melbourne Fashion Festival was one of the first major events affected by the pandemic. I recall a flurry of cancellations of much-anticipated runway shows in 2020, when COVID swept in. Retail has struggled, with occasion-dressing becoming as exotic as a commute to the office. It’s a thrill to welcome back the PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival, reigniting our appetite for dressing with joie de vivre. This edition focuses on the must-watch designers – including our cover star, Kudrat Makkar from Melbourne-based label Mastani – whose collections will adorn the sashaying models. ●

fitness trainer and model Boulazeris, and a son Ethan, 11, with former partner Dannii Minogue. Smith moved to Australia from Manchester in 2008 and was picked up by Myer as an ambassador – a partnership that continues today. In December last year, Smith posted a photograph of his first Myer campaign alongside model Jen Hawkins. He’s wearing tailored trousers and no shirt and she’s in a slinky bikini. Anybody who recalls him strutting Myer catwalk parades will remember the deafening chants from a dedicated female audience.

elf-love goes a long way when you’re a contestant on this year’s Dancing with the Stars, and that’s exactly what businessman, model and presenter Kris Smith tapped into when he said ‘yes’ to the reality TV show. “I had so many insecurities about myself and said ‘no’ to doing DWTS for many years. I was always worried I’d embarrass myself or look like an idiot, but I thought I can’t do that to myself any more,” Smith says. The Bayside father of three shifted his mindset and turned to his wife Sarah Boulazeris for encouragement to hit the floor in the new All Stars season of the Seven reality show. “I am definitely more comfortable and confident in myself now that I’m older,” Smith says. “I passed up many opportunities over the years due to fear. For a long time, I thought, what if I fail, what if I suck and if I’m really bad at this? “There wasn’t a positive thought going through my head. I had a good chat with Sarah and she said do it. She said our girls would love to see their dad dancing on the television because they’re obsessed with ballerinas and dancing,” he says. The 43-year-old has two daughters Mia, aged 3½, and Frankie, 2½, with

the Stars contestant Olympia Valance) – plans to start a fitness business with his wife. “The last few years in Melbourne gave me a chance to digest what is and what isn’t worth worrying about,” Smith says. “I’ve learnt not to overthink things. It’s draining. I am fortunate many of our gym members stayed with us when we were closed. It’s great to have them open again but I’m also looking to developing a fitness plan with Sarah.” Fitness continues to be part of his routine, but it doesn’t dictate his dayto-day life, Smith says. “Fitness is in Sarah’s DNA,” he says, smiling. “She’s really focused on that every day because it’s what makes her happy.

“I like to eat food I’m not meant to eat, drink and relax. I can easily slip out of being motivated. We have a gym in the house and I still don’t go in,” he says, adding that life is about balancing what makes you happy and what keeps you fit. “I want a balance in life. Yes, I want to eat pizza, pasta and Indian food and enjoy a bottle of wine, and no, I don’t want poached chicken and boiled greens every day of my life, but I do have a vanity about myself and don’t let my body slip too far,” he says. “I am at an age when it’s not easy to get back and need to move my body a few times a week. I am not obsessive with it.” ● DANCING WITH THE STARS: ALL STARS \ On now on Seven and 7Plus

Glamour returns

FASHION For a wardrobe update,

ity runways are back at the PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival, where front-row schmoozing and street-style peacocking return to the CBD just like the good old days. This year’s runway shows celebrate the best of Australian designers, give First Nations fashion crusaders a chance to lead, and allow emerging designers to preview their new collections.

Kudrat Makkar of Mastani

Anna Huang of Anna Quan Anna Huang, the designer behind the label Anna Quan, is known for tailoring with a twist. This year she adds colourful knitwear to her creamy neutrals, and although she’s known for her functional daywear, she’s moving into occasion wear with the subtlest of tweaks to silhouettes. “I have put more vibrant colours in the collection than I would normally do – and I’m taking more risks,” Huang says. Anna Quan is already stocked internationally at Net-A-Porter and,

DOM A IN REV IEW

until the pandemic, Huang showed her collections in Paris. She’s inspired by street style and looks for a modern reboot. A career high was when Scarlett Johansson wore a signature beige top on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2018; a reminder that simplicity is still hot. “Big runway shows are always about the glitzy and sexy, which is fine, but I create shirts, trousers and simple knits,” Huang says. “It’s an indication that people do want that and I have a place.”

Mastani designer Kudrat Makkar is new to the High Street fashion in Armadale, building a following for her couture. Ethical occasion pieces and glamour merge with her love of traditional artisanal work. She makes her MFF debut this year with a collection that connects back to temples in Mumbai. Flowers used in temples are collected and carefully pressed into silks that turn red roses into hues of purple wonder. “Dressing to feel good is what we do. It is very important that women

who wear my clothes are comfortable, pretty and powerful,” says Makkar, who has her own workshop in India, with no thirdparty makers involved. “The silhouettes are sophisticated; it’s for women who want to be elegant and pay a lot of attention to quality. “They want to know where the product is made and the story behind the label. That’s the crux of my brand and I want people to own these pieces for decades to come and to pass them on.”

Faith Hilda of Faith Jewels in its elements of design beauty and wearability,” Hilda says. “This involves many ideation sketches, mock jewels in wax and then the precious metals and refining the design until I achieve the balance. “My collections are almost always led by a story or philosophy.”

Natasha Gordon makes her runway debut at the David Jones Opening Night Runway Gala with her premium womenswear label Clea, which is now stocked at the department store. The RMIT fashion graduate – who did an internship in London with head designer Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen (Burton was handpicked by Kate Middleton to design her now iconic wedding gown) – emerges with a luxe collection of twin-sets, dresses and knits. Gordon’s is a world ruled by premium wool, alpaca and doublefaced jacquard, and is where femininity meets androgyny. “Clea is all about quality, cut and finish. It’s a dream moment for me to be in David Jones and to take part in this runway,” says Gordon, who launched her label in April last year.

“The brand is a reflection of my distinct appreciation for design that I gained at Alexander McQueen, then as knitwear designer at Fully Fashioned and two years as knitwear designer at Witchery,” she says. This season it’s a neutral palette alongside pops of green, chocolate and mottled marble colours.

Denni Francisco of Ngali Kit Willow of KitX

DUNCAN KILLICK

Melbourne jewellery designer Faith Hilda is all about bespoke pieces. She designs her collections twice a year. A favourite of actress Olympia Valance, shoe designer Lana Wilkinson and former Harper’s Bazaar editor Kellie Hush, Faith Jewels aligns with the Fashion Festival this year to create a $10,000 bangle – inspired by the Greek word for lighthouse, “faros” – which will go to a lucky MFF winner. The bangle is part of a collection that includes a necklace, earrings and rings made to order in precious metals with diamond accents. Although she won’t have a designated runway show, you’ll spot Hilda’s pieces on many VIP guests during the week, and the official bangle is a coup for the local jeweller. “I take my time to ensure each collection is researched and balanced

Natasha Gordon of Clea

Designer Kit Willow is on a regenerative fashion mission with her label KitX, turning waste into luxury must-haves. The Melbourneborn designer puts science into fashion and is upping the ante with a new impact-measuring system. That means you’ll be able to work out which KitX items were made with the lowest carbon emissions, used the least amount of water and created minimal air pollution. You can head to the Collingwood Yards during MFF to see how the process takes shape and see the waste turn into magnificent fashion garments a second time around. “You can now make informed decisions and be more productive when it comes to purchases,” says Willow, the curator of Future From Waste Lab – a studio for designers to repurpose donated textiles.

Fresh from showing at Milan Fashion Week, Ngali is enjoying its moment in the sun. It’s a great coup for First Nations fashion designer Denni Francisco who lives in Melbourne and collaborates with Kimberley Gija artist Lindsay Malay for her women’s collection. Her clothes pay respect to country – a dreamy landscape of dusky pink, rich blues, deep browns and vibrant ochres help connect the story to its Indigenous past. “I’m all about giving back to community and educating Indigenous children, so the label gives us an opportunity to move into that space and exist beyond fashion,” Francisco says. The MFF collection is titled Nginha, in which comfortable casual is her winning combination. ● PAYPAL MELBOURNE FASHION FESTIVAL \ runs from March 3 to 12.

MUSIC

Folk love

The artistic director of the National Folk Festival, singer Katie Noonan, is fostering an inclusive direction.

DOM A IN REV IEW

BLUE MURDER STUDIOS

ultiple ARIA award-winning singer/songwriter Katie Noonan makes her debut as artistic director of the National Folk Festival on the Easter long weekend, sourcing a stellar line-up of Melbourne acts who will perform. “Folk music is a broad church and all are welcome,” says Noonan, who is best known as the frontwoman of 2000s band George. “Australia is a successful story of multiculturalism, and a country with the longest living culture in the world, our First Nations and Torres Strait Islander people. While folk festivals have often been skewed to

Wo r d s

traditional Anglo folk, it’s nowhere near the complete story of our history,” Noonan says. The 30th anniversary of the festival, at Exhibition Park in Canberra, on Ngunnawal land, features 200 acts including Archie Roach, The Warumpi Band, Emma Donovan and The Putbacks, Lior and Domini, Justine Clarke, Catherine Britt, The Little Stevies and All Our Exes Live In Texas, to name a few. The family-friendly event, which includes camping, also has dance and poetry workshops, and the chance to sing with a large choir and perform with a circus. JA N E R O C CA

“The more we normalise the use of these ancient languages the better, and I’ve asked those performing ... to also sing it in their sets.” KATIE NOONAN

Noonan reached out to her friend, singer Kate Ceberano, to join the bill. The pair first met at a secret Prince show at Melbourne’s Bennett’s Lane jazz club in 2003. Ceberano will be performing folk songs inspired by her Hawaiian heritage for the occasion. A new recording of The Warumpi Band’s My Island Home also finds a purpose at the festival. Noonan reached out to the Ngunnawal Language Committee to translate the iconic song and asked First Nations singer Alinta Barlow to sing it. “The more we normalise the use of these ancient languages the better,

and I’ve asked those performing at the festival to also sing it in their sets,” Noonan says. There’ll also be Archie Roach performing Let Love Rule; a song that resonates deeply. “This song is a beautiful prayer for these difficult, fearful times we are living in. To have Archie singing it with a 12-year-old Gubbi Gubbi artist, Layla Barnett, and a choir, it’ll be absolutely amazing,” Noonan says. The festival also features Uncle Sammy Butcher from Papunya in the Northern Territory. The only remaining First Nations member

of The Warumpi Band, he and Yothu Yindi play on closing night. Noonan is excited to get back on stage herself, after a few years in touring limbo. She reflects on her own career with George as a golden period. “I remember writing George’s hit song Breathe In Now while sleeping on a couch at a friend’s place in Nicholson Street, Fitzroy,” Noonan says. “It was the early days of the band. The lyrics were me reflecting about our original bass player’s decision to leave us. I was worried he was giving up on a dream and I was

in the middle of processing all that,” she says. Noonan’s husband Isaac Hurren is a composer and saxophonist; they have two sons, Dexter and Jonah, who also play music and appear on her solo albums. “We couldn’t be further away from being those pushy parents who make their kids take up a musical instrument, but we raised our sons without a TV and in a house full of music all the time,” Noonan says. “I come from four generations of musicians, so it’s inevitable they would have an ear for it too.” ● NATIONAL FOLK FESTIVAL \ April 14-18 ● folkfestival.org.au

FEATURE HOUSE MALVERN \ 56 ELIZABETH STREET 5

The name Noorie means “light”, and that’s exactly what Catherine Taylor got when she decided to be ahead of her time. Mrs Taylor, the wife of a Beechworth merchant, snapped up two Malvern lots and commissioned this house – an airy Queen Anne revival pile in polychrome brick. Her taste for simplicity looked a bit odd in 1891. But by the early 1900s people were saying “I’ll have what she’s having” – and the Queen Anne style, with its huge sash windows and fresh-air connection to the garden, became the mode. Noorie still honours the Taylors’ love of leafy goodness. Its garden, shaded by a Norfolk Island pine, curls around the north side to the pool, encasing the house in a snug oasis of high hedges and gardenias. The three-level abode has proved a brilliant family home for the current owners, here since 2001. Formal living and dining rooms, open-plan family and meals, a study, a basement gym plus wine store and an art studio gives everyone freedom to do their own thing. Enter Noorie via a medieval-style side porch with handturned timber posts. At the front, the bay-window sitting room has a fireplace and an unusual ceiling rose studded with sunflowers. The adjoining dining room continues the yummy theme with apples and grapes up above. The modern, pine-floored open-plan area has that balmy north-east orientation, with french doors to the wraparound deck overlooking the pool. The family area has an open fireplace with inglenook bookcases. The kitchen, in salmon laminate and solid timber, is a
