EXPERIENCE

Whether you’re a fashion fanatic or not, The National Gallery of Victoria’s ode to Chanel is essential perusing in March and April. Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto is a stunning display of modern elegance in the form of vintage jewels, tailored fabrics and stories from the designer’s past. For a more theatrical French experience, you can catch Moulin Rouge! The Musical at the Regent Theatre before the Parisian spectacle makes its way to Sydney. Complete the evening with a stroll to Lonsdale Street and a late-night snack at Bar Margaux. Or head to South Yarra for supper at Melbourne’s original French institution, France-Soir.
