Traveling up a short flight of stairs from Melbourne's Chapel Street was akin to stepping back in time. For the stairs gave way to a floor space on which people decorated out in vintage fashions, some not too dissimilar from those we're expectant to make a comeback in the new year, did more than mill and swill, they cavorted, swanned and jitterbugged.
All this post-war glamour, wide-ranging of several ladies who could have told you much about the period having been amongst Christian Dior's original models, was in the name of fundraising. Designed to benefit the Prahran Mission, a charity that assists people living with mental illness and those living with financial hardships, the evening took in everything from a fashion procession to a silent auction. And it did it all with more than a hint of motivation derived from Dior's fashion house and the 'New Look' he gave to the world. After all, it was in the shadow of the Second World War that Dior took centre stage in the fashion industry, and it was the very same year that the Prahran Mission began to help those in need.
