Melbournians! Winter just got warmer with the announcement of the Social Studio’s Gala Dinner, coming up next week. Held at the Fitzroy Town Hall on 25 July, the evening promises fun, fashion and food (which includes a 3 course banquet!). The night will also feature AFL Multicultural Ambassador Harry O’Brien as guest speaker and a fashion show curated by the super stylish Grace Dlabik. The Social Studio has created employment opportunities for a number of people from migrant and refugee communities through their cafe, ethically-accredited fashion label, retail space and digital printing studio. If you are keen for this great work to continue, head on down and support this important initiative. Tickets range from between $45-$65 and can be purchased on the Social Studio website!
