Under the Blue Moon: Lunamorph Gothic Fashion Parade

13 10 2008

Last week, The Factory theatre at Enmore was host to the Lunamorph Gothic Fashion Parade. The event was a showcase of alternative fashions of designers from the Enmore/Newtown area.

The Fashion parade was part of the Under the Blue Moon Festival, a celebration of all things ‘darkly beautiful’ which took place from 27th September to 6th October this year. I’m disappointed I’m only now finding out about this event, I would have loved to have gone to the fashion show. I find the culture utterly fascinating, and the fashions are quite amazing. All that corsetry and lace, I think its beautiful.

"The audience can enter the world of the fascinating, fetishistic and fiery, the romantic and risqué, subversive and sexy" says Liz Evanov, producer. "It will be a true morph of alternative fashion and performance where fashion comes alive on the catwalk in a way not seen before in Sydney… burlesque divas and piratical fiends are all part of the viewing pleasure."
