’50s fling

While never totally out of style, Mid-Century Modern (MCM) is having a very fashionable moment. “It’s a sophisticated aesthetic and won’t date,” Trish Khoury, founder of Grace Interior Design Melbourne explains. “The nostalgia factor also plays a role. This period of time in design and architecture represents a pos-twar boom that people resonate with. MCM represents freedom, innovation, fun and wealth.”
