As Melbourne Fashion Week begins November 15-21, fashion experts expect Melvernian to transform into a more leisurely clothing style in the post-blockade world.
Dr. Kate Sarah, a design and technology instructor at the Fashion and Textile School at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT University), said Melbourne’s black taste may be replaced by more colors and glitz on the streets of Melbourne. I said I couldn’t.

“Now that things are reopened, we think the same thing will happen here.”
Sarah argued that she believed that people would accept the opportunity to dress up and use clothes as a way to celebrate freedom. This can lead to many colors and prints.

“So, for example, in many workplaces there are less ties, and women can strip off more restrictive clothing such as skirt suits and high heels.
Wigley believes that a pandemic is likely to be the beginning of the end of the office dress code, or at least the emergence of a new dress code.
“Just as companies that fail to hire more flexible work styles and hybrid workplaces struggle to attract and retain staff, organizations that maintain a strict office dress code can face similar challenges. There is sex, “he said.
Melbourne has endured one of the longest blockades in the world, with intermittent protests against vaccination mandates, blockades, and the Victoria State Government’s controversial pandemic management bill.
