The much anticipated follow up to Midnight Fashion was held last Friday at the Royal Melbourne Hotel, and it goes without saying that Midnight Fashion 2 was a fantastic success. Several hundred of Melbourne’s young and stylish turned up on the night to witness fun, fashion and to get a taste of what up and coming local designers have in store this season.
Kiss Chacey opened the first parade of the evening with their line of funky, bright range of menswear featuring graphic Henley tees paired with dark skinny jeans for a laid back, surf inspired look. I can see this range loved by boys and men alike.
Chocolate City went on to impress with a grungy range of menswear featuring leather jackets, faux fur trims along with preppy vests and knit scarves. Chocolate City’s women’s range was no less impressive. Flattering high waisted dark indigo skinny jeans and skirts featured heavily, along with slinky print dresses that finished well above the knee.
Gimp menswear went on to demonstrate that tough skull prints are still very much a feature this season, with fantastic skull print tee opening their parade. Quirky graphic tees featured heavily in Gimp’s parade, including a rather edible looking steak…of course, Gimp finished off their tough look with dark to black skinnys and trainers.
LMaree sure was prepared for her Midnight Fashion show; the designer had a cheer squad donned in matching ‘LMaree’ tees positioned at the runway ready to announce her arrival. LMaree was right on trend showcasing blazers and ice-skating skirts teamed with pussy bow blouses and cropped vests. LMarees designs included the continuance of the high waist, paired with simple tops featuring delicate details such as beading and neck ties. LMaree’s show was all about the detail, a standout number being a black shift frock with abstractly embroidered lace teamed with oil-slick leggings. Not only did LMaree feature lace; sequins, ruffles and beautiful fabrics also adorned her parade.
Voyager menswear was simple yet on trend. The line featured simple tees, cotton collared shirts, teamed with slouchy canvas jackets and funky nylon bombers. The range had a preppy edge to it with pieces such as knit pullovers and scarves teamed with distressed denim. All in all, a very wearable line that would appeal to a large demographic of gents.
Shona Design certainly injected a hit of colour into the evening with her funky designs. The range featured brightly coloured shift dresses in a range of fabrics and prints. The line would not have been complete without a striking quilted gold hooded dress teamed with sheer black tights. The standout of Shona Design’s parade was a super quirky, yet very wearable blue jumpsuit, styled to perfection with sheet hosiery and black platform heels. Shona Design pieces are certainly recognisable, unique and just what we need to liven up a chilly Melbourne winter day.

From 1987s “Kick” this is the fourth smash “Never Tear Us Apart” by one of my fav all time band “INXS” in my own video-remix tribute called as “Lush Trance Mix” enjoyed from the rare Tall Paul vs Inxs Remixes Promo released in 2001 and obviously played with the original version. This isn’t the white label remix, it’s such an electronic and trance remix but cut before the dance part (only put the soft part for keep the original beat of this wonderful ballad) … So, R.I.P. Michael…this is principally for you.
Review Michael Hutchence era.- INXS (pronounced “In Excess”) is an Australian rock group. The band was formed on 16 August 1977, in Sydney, Australia.
INXS began under the name The Farriss Brothers but the band changed it just prior to the release of their self-titled début album in 1980, INXS, which featured “Just Keep Walking,” their first Australian hit single. Its follow-up, 1981’s Underneath the Colours (produced by Richard Clapton), became a hit-album in Australia.
The band’s worldwide peak of popularity came with 1987’s Kick, an upbeat, confident album that yielded four Top-10 US singles and several international hits, including “New Sensation”, “Never Tear Us Apart”, “Devil Inside”, and the #1 “Need You Tonight”. They toured heavily behind the album throughout 1987 and 1988. The video for the 1987 INXS track “Mediate” (which played after the video for “Need You Tonight”) duplicated the format of Bob Dylan’s video for “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” even in its use of apparently deliberate errors.
In 1989 Hutchence made an album with Max Q, which received decent reviews, but at best attained a cult status. The rest of the band also took a break to work on side projects, but soon returned to the studio to record their follow-up album titled X.
However, the band had a lot of pressure on its shoulders due to fans and critics alike having high expectations about the follow-up album to Kick. In 1990, INXS released X. It followed in the same vein as Kick, and added harmonica to some songs, but critics and fans considered it a weak follow-up. Nevertheless, X did score two hits in Suicide Blonde and “Disappear” (both Top-10 in the US), and was a Top-5 hit album internationally.
INXS performed at Wembley Stadium on July 13, 1991, during their “Summer XS” tour stop in London to a sold out audience of 72,000 fans. During this show, INXS organized a film crew to shoot their show onto video to come out simultaneously as their live album Live Baby Live (the video was also called Live Baby Live).
Note: Name is said Live (as in “to live your life”) Baby Live (as in a live performance).
1992’s Welcome to Wherever You Are was an experimental album using sitars and a 60-piece orchestra while adding a much more “raw” sound to their music. It received critical reviews and went number one in the UK & Sweden and number two in Switzerland, but had difficulty finding an audience in the U.S.
1993’s Full Moon, Dirty Hearts received mixed reviews and included a track called “Please (You Got That)” which featured the legendary Ray Charles and title track with The Pretenders Chrissie Hynde. The band made a full video album for the record using unknown Australian students to direct with help by Richard Lowenstein. Full Moon, Dirty Hearts was the last record under INXS’ contract with Atlantic.
The band took time off to rest and be with their families. Michael Hutchence remained in the public eye through modeling and film acting. His personal life included dating several models and public personalities including Kylie Minogue, Helena Christensen and Paula Yates.
Throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s, INXS was a major force in Australian popular music, leading the way into worldwide popularity for several Australian bands. The band worked closely with several other Australian artists, such as The Models and Jenny Morris, helping to establish their careers. By the mid-nineties, however, their popularity had waned, especially in the US, where their Greatest Hits compilation failed to reach the Top-100. (At the 1996 BRIT Awards, Michael Hutchence presented Oasis with an award, after which their characteristically arrogant vocalist Liam Gallagher remarked “Has-beens shouldn’t be presenting awards to gonna-bes”.) In 1997, the group released a comeback album titled Elegantly Wasted, which garnered mixed reviews. It fared respectably in Australia, Canada, France, Great Britain (where INXS had ironically more success in the 90s than in the 80s), Sweden and Switzerland.
On 22 November 1997, Hutchence was found dead in a Sydney hotel room under suspicious circumstances. Some speculate his death was actually an accident, the result of autoerotic asphyxiation death.

A piling rig starts at about 8.15 am, and makes this racket pretty much all day. It’s opposite the Sol Pelicanos Ocas hotel, the one used in the ITV series ‘Benidorm’. Filmed in June 07.
