Reviving the golden age of Hollywood glamour…



In 1996, a collaborative vision brought two designers, Joy Liakis and Natalie Fowler together during their studies in Fashion Design at RMIT and McCabe Academy.

United in their love of historical design and modern innovative fashion, (they were especially inspired by the art of corsetry), the duo embarked on a wonderful journey across 17 years under their own vintage-inspired label, Vicious Venus.

The girls are passionate about empowering women of all ages to enhance their own natural beauty with the best of vintage styling. Specialising in sophisticated classic clothing they are committed to creating original vintage inspired contemporary dresses, corsets and separates that celebrate the female form.

Dedicated to reviving the golden age of Hollywood glamour when curves were not a sin, Vicious Venus designs are always flattering, feminine and honour a woman’s independent spirit which never goes out of style!

We took five with the Vicious Venus designers to talk inspiration, the story behind the name, and exhibiting the range at upcoming Fashion Exposed Melbourne.

Racewear in style…

And we’re off… the Spring racing season will be in full swing for tomorrow’s Derby Day with elegant looking ladies lined up trackside in their hats and fascinators.

In a recent interview with Kate Waterhouse, Nerida Winter revealed the key looks for millinery this Spring is sculptural headpieces, similar to what’s been happening in fashion, lace and netting are also popular with straw hats.

The big no no for Spring is felt, as this is for the autumn/winter racing according to Ms Winter. For more advice, watch the interview at smh.com.au

We are particularly in love with the beautiful butterfly head piece below courtesy of Giambattista Couture.





When it comes to race day fashion, always remember appropriate hemlines ladies. And given the temperamental weather in Melbourne lately, it might be wise to invest in a cropped bolero or fur stole. Those winds are nasty, especially at the track.

Or go for a vintage look that’s timeless and forever classic. Isn’t she just stunning…

But in more important news, who will you be backing on the day? All tips are welcome, comment below or hit us up on Facebook.
