MFW Capsule 3 - Sustainable City

Experience a bright, optimistic vision for fashion grounded in ethics, community and circularity.

Celebrating the power of local supply chains, this interactive exhibition reveals the design journey behind The Social Studio’s SS26 collection, Glimmers of Joy.

At The Social Studio, every piece begins with possibility. Using exclusively deadstock fabrics, materials that might otherwise be discarded are transformed into garments with purpose, character and a story of their own.

It's a philosophy shared by The Social Studio and 1 Hotels: that thoughtful design can tread more lightly, and that beauty and responsibility belong side by side.

This Melbourne Fashion Week, Glimmers of Joy comes to life at 1 Hotel Melbourne. A celebration of conscious craftsmanship, local creativity and fashion designed with purpose.

A gentle reminder that sometimes, the future begins with what we already have.
