With VAMFF (Virgin Australian Melbourne Fashion Festival) around the corner, we’ve been thinking about all things fashion. Back in the day, our Director Natalie Khoo was a production assistant at Melbourne’s high-profile, high-stakes fashion weeks. Her reminiscing has got us thinking… the backstage world of fashion festivals isn’t too different to our work as digital copywriters:
