Who’s the Fairest Of Them All?

Being the middle of January, there are probably very few people who are thinking about what they’ll be doing in December. But after the success of last month’s Fair@Square festival, which took place in Melbourne’s Federation Square on December 11 and 12, you should probably start making some space in your diaries for this year’s event. With workshops, performances, activities and a market all focused on fair trade, sustainable and recycled products and services, it’s a one stop shop for all things ethical, showcasing the best local and international designers and thinkers. One of the highlights of the festival was the Fair Fashion show, presented by blogger (and Peppermint Issue 4 cover girl) Lady Melbourne. Here are just some of the gorgeous outfits on the day, snapped by the amazing Chealse Vo.
