Ever been out shopping and though to yourself: “My god, I need a stiff drink”? Well your wish is our command. This Saturday night in a hidden South Yarra warehouse, the Mister Mode Night Fashion Market is bringing the bacon.

To be honest, there probably won’t be any bacon, but there will be apparel for boys and gals, vintage couture, shoes and accessories. Expect everything from streetwear and old-school vintage to the brand new and the handmade.

But Mister Mode is different to other markets. In between all that fabric there’s live music to be heard, grog to be consumed, networking to be done and dancing to be busted out. As Mister Mode puts it, it’s the perfect opportunity to party up in hand-me-downs.

The brains behind the event is Tish Tambakau, a fiery redhead who brought this unique shopping experience to life with two fellow students. What was last year an RMIT project is now a fashion institution. Since graduating, Tish has continued the market due to popular demand.

Not only will Mister Mode push this year’s new fashion meccas to the back of your mind (sorry, Top what?), they’ll even shout you a bottle of Rekorderlig cider for every ticket purchased online if you round up three or more friends. The secret word you need to know is ‘modetroops’. Bonus.

If you’re the kind of Melburnian who craves individuality, creativity, lifestyle and fashion, don’t miss this one. There’s nothing second-best about this second-hand fashion experience.
