At 9pm last night, Melbourne's fashion crowd sat down to a performance by Bertie Blackman before velvet-clad models in Levante stockings strode onto the stage. Introductory entertainment over, Thurley was the first label to work the show. Hemlines at L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF) Runway 3 were longer, dresses more suitable as night time fare. Thurley brought pitch black and sparkling silver into glittering harmony; some modern cuts, some more flapper inspired.
