The Grace Darling is home to many life-affirming activities: eating chunky chips and a decent roast, drinking Rekorderlig cider or a generous glass of wine, visiting the Hello Sailor Vintage Fair merchants to pick up a fancy brooch or polka-dot dress. And then, of course, there are the gigs. This Hallowe'en, the Grace was host to Tessa And The Typecast's launch of their new EP 'Painter'.
They look like such a cute bunch don't they? That's Tessa down front in her mustard coat. When Tessa isn't providing you with all your colourful, winsome threads at Melbourne fashion institute Kinky Gerlinki, she is crooning in dulcet tones, creating a sound that has been described as a cross between Mumford & Sons and Washington.
I like to think that Melbourne does the whole collaborative thing pretty well. Tessa's gig proved me a big resounding RIGHT as the ladies of the Typecast took to the stage dressed in vintage inspired frocks lovingly stitched by another Kinky Gerlinki lady, Amy Dickinson, of Blonde Moss label.
Blonde Moss is unlike any other label, with bright and playful garments created from vintage fabrics often sourced from the tucked away shelves of Lost + Found and various other Melbourne fabric purveyors.
This is just one of many winning dresses from Blonde Moss. Visit her online store here.
