Fashion for the Melbourne Cup Spring Racing Carnival. In Australia, the Melbourne Cup Spring Racing Carnival is often the highlight of an aspiring fashionista’s year. 2008 is going to be no different for the fashion world. The Melbourne Cup’s most renowned fashion parade, the Myer Fashions on the Field competition, has been kicked off. The outdoor fashion event will travel around the nation throughout September and October, before culminating in the ultimate fashion festival at the Melbourne Cup.

Fashion designers in Australia are extremely busy in the months and weeks leading up the Melbourne Cup Spring Racing Carnival. Most race goers prefer to have dresses tailor-made, in order to look unique and to stand out.

d’Italia Designer Fabric, a store in Melbourne, has been providing high-quality imported fabric for dressmakers and race goers for the past few years. It has become a local favourite in the Spring Racing Carnival fashion world, because of its pure silk material and large range of designs and prints.

d’Italia can offer seamstress and dressmaker referral services as an optional addition to any purchase. This will cut down on time and fabric buyers can be assured of quality service when getting their dresses made.

d’Italia can also offer new designs and fabric prints that are in line with the latest styles in the Australian and international fashion world. Its latest range of floral prints is perfect for outdoor race days and summer parties. d’Italia also has a range of fabrics in metallic colours, which are a favourite for evening gowns and night party dresses. The metallics have been in style in the European Spring fashion arena, and are expected to be quite popular locally in the coming months.
