Model, Instagram star and Myer Fashions on the Field ambassador
You’ll find me … Flemington’s newest place to be seen is The Park. It’s got everything my friends and I love – fashion, entertainment, food and racing on the big screens. Top tip for staying fresh and stylish It’s important to stay hydrated and to be comfortable. It’s a long day so choosing the right heel can make all the difference. Block heels are “in” and they’re great for the track.
Nadia wears: Rachel Gilbert lace dress in mauve. In store in October.
Key racewear trend The key trends this season are feminine and floaty, so it’s a great chance to wear a pretty dress and a cute boater-style hat. But it’s all about dressing in something you feel comfortable and confident in.
(SCOTT McNAUGHTON)
Favourite race day This year Crown Oaks Day will be a highlight because I’m on the judging panel for the Myer Fashions on the Field national final. I also have a fondness for Emirates Stakes Day. It’s the last day of the carnival so everyone relaxes and has fun. We all want to hold on to the fun of the Melbourne Cup Carnival for as long as possible.
NADIA BARTEL
Fashion blogger and BMW Caulfield Cup Carnival style ambassador Favourite race day I just love the Caulfield Cup; it’s one of the first race days of the season. People are relaxed and there to have fun and to embrace the racing and fashion. It’s a great time to catch up with friends.
How do you put your outfit together? I plan my outfits well ahead of time. Special race-day memory Sofitel Girls’ Day Out was pretty special this year. It was my first race day since being Myer Fashions on the Field ambassador.
You’ll find me … I’ll spend a lot of time in the David Jones Fashion Stable because they’ve got Chandon and a roving fashion illustrator, and it’s only five metres from the track.
Stephanie wears: Asilio dress, Lisa Tan hat, Kenzo scarf and Paula Cademartori heels, all available at Myer.
MORE STYLE TIPS ONLINE JENNIFER HAWKINS, JESSICA GOMES & JESINTA CAMPBELL
JASON DUNDAS Television presenter and David Jones ambassador
Favourite race day I love Caulfield Cup. I’ve been hosting the David Jones marquee there for four years.
Top tip for staying fresh and stylish A man in a nice-fitting suit will always look respectable, no matter how long a day he has had.
You’ll find me … As a former racehorse owner, for me it’s about getting trackside and feeling the power of the animals as they race by.
Special race-day memory I loved being able to DJ in the marquee with Jessica Gomes and Jesinta Campbell. At around 4pm most people are relaxing and ready to dance.
How do you put your outfit together? The hardest part for me is deciding what to wear. I generally do a fitting a couple of days before and I like to take along a few ties and pocket squares on the morning of the races so I can choose.
How do you pick a winner? I have been best mates with Tom Waterhouse for over 10 years so I always call him for some last-minute tips. Or I simply choose the name I like – that hasn’t worked yet but it is fun. ●

How do you pick a winner? After getting some expert tips from my uncle and dad, I watch the horses in the mounting yard to see what they look like and then I place a last-minute bet. ●

HOW TO DO THE RACES IN STYLE
FASHION
STEPHANIE SMITH
I’ll be wearing … This season there’s a big ’70s influence so I’ve looked for sleeve details and ruching. I like outfits that are tailored and not too short or sparkly. I wear my shapewear to hold everything in – especially after having a baby. I like colour – you can have fun with race wear and I love a bit of print, too. Top tip for staying fresh and stylish It’s all about what you keep in your handbag. I carry Party Feet and slip them in my shoes in the afternoon when my feet get sore. I also carry eye drops. How do you put your outfit together? I start looking online and see what is on the runways a few weeks before Caulfield. Special race-day memory Last year I was heavily pregnant and I spent the day at Caulfield in a marquee with my friends. We had a great day and it was exciting because I knew I would soon have a baby. But I did sit down a lot that year. How do you pick a winner? Sometimes I listen to my husband, Jimmy, but once I’m at the track I pick names and numbers that I like. I like the number three and quirky names. It’s probably not the best way to go, but I’ve had a few wins! ● SARAH MARINOS OCTOBER 12, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 9
GAI TIME PETER WIlMOTH MEETS THE QUEEN OF SPRING RACING 10 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ OCTOBER 12, 2016
On the cusp of Melbourne’s Spring Carnival, racing fever has hit Sydney. I’ve flown up to meet Australia’s most recognisable trainer, Gai Waterhouse, at a restaurant where she’s the guest of honour at a Carnival-themed lunch.
B
ut before I meet Gai I’m standing in the restaurant’s large front garden. Women and a handful of men in racing finery (the women in striking racewear, the men in crisp white shirts and the occasional discreet lower-arm tattoo) are enjoying pre-lunch drinks while two miniature ponies are encouraged by their handlers to jump over poles held just above the ground, an amusing if just faintly wrong sight. Inside it’s glamour central. I sit at a table with Sunrise presenter Samantha Armytage and veteran actor Roy Billing. After doing a Q&A, Gai, 62, bounds out of the restaurant, stopping for photos and chatting with guests, smiling that famous megawatt smile, paying focused attention to everyone she meets, a whirling dervish on a charm offensive, but no one doubts she’s genuinely interested. Now Bart Cummings has left us, there is no better “face” of the Spring Racing Carnival. Gai directs me to her car and her driver Damien waiting outside. She moves at breakneck speed, organising on the fly, things happening around her because she says so. It’s the modus operandi of someone used to guiding people – owners, jockeys, stable staff – and, of course, horses. “You know Batman and Robin?” Gai says as she spills into the back of the BMW to sit next to me. “That’s us!” She’s referring to Damien. Her dog is in the back seat. “He travels everywhere with us.” I’m privileged to join this tight-knit trifecta for a drive across Sydney. Gai reaches for a box and opens it to show me a small amethyst piece in the shape of the Melbourne Cup, a gift from her husband Robbie Waterhouse. “Isn’t it beautiful?” It’s a tender moment. Since we’re talking superheroes, Gai is the Wonder Woman of the track, having trained more than 100 group1 winners, including 2013’s Melbourne Cup champion, Fiorente. “It’s my life,” she says. “It’s something I’ve been born and bred to do. It’s my business, it’s my passion, it’s my husband’s passion, our son’s passion, my daughter is involved in fashion, which can be related to the racing industry. We talk it and think it 24/7.” We’re on the eve of Gai’s favourite time of the year – Melbourne’s racing carnival. “I adore racing in Melbourne,” she says. “I’m lucky the VRC [Victoria Racing Club] allows me to have stables at Flemington. I have 20 boxes and yards there. I think it’s the best track in the world.” She has enjoyed the ultimate victory. “Unbelievable,” she says. “You don’t realise until you spend a lot of time in Melbourne that it literally is the pinnacle of your sporting career, winning the Cup. Everyone thinks it, breathes it and talks it … Everyone talks about having a Cup runner. How do we get it? How do we buy it? How can we be in it? Are you nominating our horse for the Cup? “And then the closer to the Cup, the more the crescendo builds. You can imagine that all your life you’ve done it, been there and watched people, other trainers and my father [trainer Tommy Smith], who won two Cups and he was second and third in many others, and you realise how much it plays on people’s imaginations.” Would not winning a Cup have been a career disappointment? “When you win it you’d say, ‘Yes’,” she says. “Until you’ve won it, you’d say, ‘Oh well, it just didn’t happen’. May I say that the average trainer in Australia and the average visiting trainer never trains a Melbourne Cup winner … You’ve got to have the trifecta. You’ve got to have the right people to buy the horse, you’ve got to have the right horse, and things have got to go your way. It’s the timing, it’s the field we’re up against, it’s the jockey you choose. Did

Michelle Payne pull the right rein going where she was? Well yes, she did, because she won the Cup. Did Damien Oliver when he rode my horse Fiorente? Yes he did, because he was on the right pace at the right time and when they moved up he was able to get that momentum and had a bit of space … it’s really exciting.” She talks about the acute perceptiveness needed to be a good trainer. “I’ve trained my eyes to notice things. I notice people, the way they move, the way they touch their face, their clothes, the way they pull a face, their eyes might move to the side. Tells me things about them. Well, horses are the same. When they come out to the middle, [co-trainer] Adrian Bott and I are standing there and I’ll quite often say, ‘Adrian, that horse has lightened off’, or ‘That horse has got too fat’. That helps us train the horses. “There’s a lot of psychology involved. You’ve got to understand them … Adrian and I are football coaches and our team is four-legged. Plus the jockey. We’ve got the double whammy – we’ve got a human being involved with an animal. We have to make sure we’re keeping the jockey happy and motivated and thinking forward and we must make sure the horse is hunky-dory on the day.” She has fond memories of her father. “Dad was the ace card. They broke the mould. There’ll never be another
“I’ve trained my eyes to notice things. I notice people, the way they move … tells me things about them” dad. I have taken a lot of what dad taught me; I’d be mad if I didn’t. I suppose I’m very patient with horses. He said to me once, when I won with Pharaoh in the Doncaster [1994], ‘I couldn’t have got him to do that. You’re very patient. I wouldn’t have been that patient with him.’ I’m always thinking, how can I get that horse to win a race, to get it to lift to the next grade?” I ask about her earliest memory of loving horses. “I just loved being around my dad. I loved going to the track, it was really fun.”
W
hen Gai was a girl, Tommy would take her to Centennial Park to look for duck eggs. “Of course they never existed. They were in dad’s pocket. He’d hide them. Until one day I banged up against the side of his pants and he had squashed egg in his pocket.” On Fridays, Tommy would take Gai to the Sydney Markets to meet clients and punters. “I’d go down there and look at all the little ducks and chickens. I’d invariably come home with something mum would reel in horror about.” In that category were a dozen newborn chicks. “We went off to Queensland for the school holidays and dad was in charge of the baby chicks,” Gai says. “He threw a jumper on them to keep them warm and suffocated them all.” Gai was a competent rider who would later do trackwork for her father. Once she had a nasty accident. “We had a property near Hay. The horse took off on me and I came off it and crashed my head to the ground.” Wearing a helmet? Her voice drops. “No one wore helmets in those days.” The fall has affected her hearing.
Racing has always been a family affair. Husband Robbie is a former bookmaker who made headlines for his involvement in the 1984 Fine Cotton horse-swapping scandal. Robbie was sentenced to eight months of weekend detention for perjury and banned from racetracks for his involvement, but all restrictions were removed in 2001. Son Tom Waterhouse was also seldom out of the spotlight as the seemingly omnipresent face of his eponymous betting website, which he sold to gaming giant William Hill in 2013 for $34 million. “He had to be public because you had to try and compete with the other betting firms. He’s a natural betting man. He loves all aspects of betting and gambling … He’s very good at what he does, he’s exceedingly passionate about it. He lives a corporate life.” I ask Gai about her famous 2013 run-in with long-time friend and horse breeder John Singleton, for whom she has trained for many years. Their relationship hit the headlines when the advertising mogul publicly “sacked” Gai (he later changed his mind). Singo claimed Tom Waterhouse had told acquaintances his horse, More Joyous, was not fit enough to win the All Aged Stakes, but hadn’t informed him of this. The next morning he removed all the horses he owned in Gai’s stable, Tulloch Lodge. (Tom Waterhouse was later cleared of any wrongdoing). Gai called it “a lovers’ tiff” and Singo called it “a domestic tiff across 23 front pages”. “People can do silly things,” Gai says. “John today is probably very different from John of three years ago. In the heat of the moment he said things he has very many times apologised for. I’m a great believer in ‘life moves on’.” Friends still? “Oh yes, very much so. I train for him. He’s a great breeder. He’s always someone who if you rang and said, ‘Look, I need help with such and such’, he’d help you.” In her early 20s Gai moved to London to model and act in theatre and television. She modelled a clothing range for a London firm and “took the range to Copenhagen for them”. She appeared in the British TV series Dr Who with long-time lead Tom Baker, worked with acting stalwart Trevor Howard “in a very boring play”, and with Patrick Cargill, known in Australia for TV’s Father, Dear Father Father. “I think it was one of the best things that ever happened to me,” she says of acting. “It gave me enormous self-confidence I wouldn’t have had if I hadn’t gone and lived overseas to go and catch and kill, get the parts. It helped me project myself.” Acting came from her mother’s side. “My mother loved singing and she auditioned for the opera in Australia and ran second to Dame Joan Sutherland. Dad was at the eisteddfod and said, ‘Darling, I don’t think you’ll be winning that one. You’ve just come up against a group1 performer’.” On her return to Australia, Gai decided horses were her greatest passion. She began clocking the horses for her father and in 1994 took over training at his stables. It’s nearly time for Damien to drop me off. It strikes me that Gai has employed skills learnt from the world of acting – notably perceptiveness and not taking loss personally – to great advantage in racing. I put to her a quote from her husband Robbie that Gai is the most observant person he’s ever met. “Well you’ve got to be,” she says. “See, I’m dealing with animals, dealing with creatures of flight, and you’ve got to be very quick to see the change in them.” A pause. And maybe a nod to her rivals and the industry she loves. “But there are lots of observant people in racing.” ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au » gaiwaterhouse.com.au

customer engagement, Caroline Ralphsmith, says The Park is part of a long-term strategy to excite local racegoers too. “We have recognised the need for innovation and new customer experiences. The Park will be in the space previously used by premium, ticketed area The Precinct, which has moved to the front lawn, in the spot vacated by Myer Fashions on the Field. Huxtaburger owner Daniel Wilson says The Park will be “a pretty nice area to hang out in”. His pop-up eatery will serve four of its famous burgers, chips, chicken tenders and onion rings. “We want people to experience our food exactly the way they would if they came to our stores.” Meanwhile Biggie Smalls’ Shane Delia has put out a challenge, saying his kebabs “taste better than the best burger you’ve ever eaten”. “We are going to give people the flavours they want at one of the best events in the country,” he says. There’ll be plenty of Instagram moments, too, as patrons check out Doughnut Time’s 1950s caravan, join the singing, dancing bearded crew from Sydney’s Knafeh Bakery, or try champagne soft-serve at the retro Messina Mobile. At about half the size of the MCG, The Park will sport a custom-built stage for live bands and four bar areas. Anyone who takes a ride on the Ferris wheel will be treated to stunning views of the track and the nearby Maribyrnong River. Numbers in The Park will be capped at 3000 at any given time, but up to 10,000 guests are expected to enjoy it during each day. ● LEANNE TOLRA

hampagne, canopies, celebrities and head-turning fashions: an invitation to a marquee inside Flemington’s Birdcage has long been one of the hottest tickets in town. But while A-listers are feted and enticed to grace the VIP enclosuress, and less fabulous somebodies scheme and beg to get in, the rest of us have been left out in the cold. Until now. This year, the Victoria Racing Club is introducing an open-access fashion, food and fun precinct, The Park, to give general-admission racegoers a “marquee-like” experience. Covering 10,000 square metres of hallowed ground behind the Flemington grandstands, the free-admission fashion and entertainment area will feature food from some of Melbourne’s best-loved eateries as well as Myer Fashions on the Field, the L’Oreal Paris Powder Room, public marquees, al fresco drinking and dining areas, a DJ playing throughout the day, bands, a vintage carousel and Ferris wheel. Victoria Racing Club has its eye sharply on the 18-35 age group – the crowd one day destined for its premium ticketed events perhaps – and has included top sponsors such as James Boag Premium, Tabcorp, Yellowglen and Lavazza in the Park’s offerings. The VRC says the racing carnival attracts more than 315,000 racegoers to Flemington each year and injects more than $400 million into the Victorian economy. Last year it attracted nearly 64,000 visitors to the state, a 9.3 per cent rise on 2014. But VRC executive general manager of

This year it promises to be bigger, better and more fun then ever, thanks to a host of new fine-food choices from Melbourne’s top restaurateurs, a great music line-up and a swish new $500,000 fashion precinct, The David Jones Fashion Stable – not to mention some of the best group 1 races of the season. ●

You shouldn’t have to choose between watching the races and enjoying great food, entertainment or fashion. So we have brought all of these elements together, trackside.” The line-up includes Mistress Estelle, Mamasita, Red Door Yum Cha, and Mr Miyagi, which will be serving its famous Nori Tacos. As for drinks, MRC beverage manager Dan Schwarze is creating cocktails in the Moet & Chandon marquee, and at Black Caviar, Promenade and in the Little Melbourne Bar in the grandstand area. General admission guests can enjoy premium drinks in the Chandon Rose Bar and the Golden Ale Bar. ●

Fashion gets a revamp at Caulfield this year, with plenty of style action both trackside and digitally. Roving fashion illustrators on hand to capture your racewear look are just one of the highlights at the premium 1000-square-metre David Jones Fashion Stable, which aims to bring an all-inclusive party atmosphere to the occasion. Situated just five metres from the track and open to all racegoers, the marquee will include a Chandon Rose Bar, a premium wine bar – and a chance to mingle with the likes of BMW Caulfield Cup Carnival style ambassador Nadia Bartel. On BMW Caulfield Cup Day, two runway shows will feature cutting-edge labels such as Romance Was Born, Manning Cartell, Carla Zampatti, Camilla & Marc and Ellery.

There’s even a new category for the shy: squads (groups of two to eight). “We wanted to bring the fashion and racing concept into the 21st century,” says Peta Webster. “Fashion these days is a two-way conversation.

illian Frank remembers first going to Oaks Day in the mid-1950s. Newly arrived from London, she’d just started working at the new Elizabeth Arden hairdressing salon in Melbourne. “When I unpacked my luggage, my sister was shocked at my lace dress and parasol – which I still have. She asked me where I was planning on wearing it and I said, ‘At the races!’ says Lillian. “I’d worn the same outfit at Royal Ascot that year and was photographed by everybody. So I attended the spring carnival for the first time in that outfit. I vividly remember the beautiful roses and perfectly manicured lawns, which still look fabulous today.” Lillian says that, while fashions have changed, Oaks Day is still a much anticipated opportunity to enjoy a glass of bubbles with friends. “Some of the fashion now is disappointing – they wear evening wear for daytime! And the introduction of fascinators is somewhat perplexing to me. But the marquees are beautiful,” she says. “I still love Oaks Day. It’s a wonderful opportunity to see friends and there’s the fun of getting dressed up and the champagne. I look forward to going to see people and to be seen – what else in life is there?” Designer Prue Acton launched her fashion label in Melbourne in the 1960s and caused a stir at the races during the 1970s and ’80s.

“Derby Day was known for being super-elegant, Cup Day was outrageous and Oaks Day was about detail and refinement.” For Ann Peacock, Crown Casino’s general manager of community and charity, Oaks Day is a mixture of business and pleasure as Crown has been the major sponsor of the event for the past 22 years. “The scenery is beautiful and the ladies make an effort to look beautiful, too. Oaks Day comes back to being classic, stylish and pretty. That hasn’t changed,” she says. A highlight for Ann was in 2011 when Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker added some Hollywood glamour to the day. “Everyone was waiting for her arrival, from the Birdcage to the Crown marquee.

Marcia Hill and her dapper bookmaker husband, Sid, have been a familiar sight at Oaks Day for decades. Sid passed away this year, but Marcia will continue to cut a stylish figure at Oaks Day – an event she first attended when she was 18 or 19. “A room in my house would be filled with clothes, stockings, handbags
and hats during carnival week. I always plan two outfits for each day – one for warm weather and one for the cold. One of my most versatile outfits is a little black Valentino suit,” says Marcia. “I think some of the elegance has gone and it’s a bit over the top with celebrities. And a glass of wine is pretty expensive these days, too! But Oaks Day is still a day for the ladies and I love to see what everyone is wearing. “If I see someone wearing something gorgeous I’ll try to see the label. I catch up with friends – although I always warn them to talk to me before the first race. Then I mark their race books to indicate where they might want to put a bet and I remind them not to come back to me later and say, ‘But Marcia, you said …’” …’ ● SARAH MARINOS

“I first went to Oaks Day when I was about 20 and didn’t wear a hat,” she laughs. “About 1979 I thought we had to claim the week for Australian designers so one year I dressed in this amazing white satin jacket – a space-age-style outfit – and my picture went all over the world.” Prue was an Oaks Day regular for the next decade and remembers her designers and team taking the afternoon off to show their latest creations at Flemington. “The boys dressed well too with pretty shirts, buttonholes and their spring suits. Some of the boys booked a table at their favourite restaurant months ahead of Oaks Day because they never knew who they might meet and take out to dinner on the night,” she says.

were hundreds of people gathered to see her and there were tears when she walked through the mounting yard and then presented the trophy. She looked beautiful and was the epitome of what Oaks Day is about,” says Ann. “It is the most important day of the carnival for me and I also love it when the day is over too because the pressure is enormous! Once the presentation is over then I can relax a little. Some years I come back to Crown and celebrate with the winners. Other times I will be sitting at my kitchen bench eating pizza or party pies at 8 o’clock at night.”

HOW TO FIND A SUIT TO SUIT ON ANY BUDGET

C
an you move your body left,” Michael says from behind his camera. I awkwardly sway to the left. “No, like this, like this.” Michael has about 50 years of photography experience, a stark contrast to my 50-second modelling track record. But that’s not why we’re at Chadstone – the fashion capital. We’re here to find out how to put together a head-turning spring racing outfit – no matter what the budget. Chadstone personal stylist Anika Walker is preparing for a swell of new visitors when the centre reveals the most significant phase of its $660-million expansion on October 13, including more than 60 new shops, but she’s taken time out to help me with my mission. First up, we head high-end with a luxe look, courtesy of MJ Bale. Anika lays out a blue double-breasted suit. The price tag says $1295 and I can feel the quality. She pairs it with a tie and shirt. I’ve seen double-breasted suits popping up in the fashion pages, so I know we’re on the money here – literally and figuratively. “For the guy that wants to be at the forefront of fashion and be really on trend, double-breasted suits are the way to go,” Anika says. “The wow factor here is the fact that it is double-breasted so I’ve pulled everything else back, letting the tones just complement each other without taking focus.” The suit may be the hero but the Aquila loafers certainly play Robin to their Batman. I don’t mind saying it’s the first time I’ve worn $539 shoes. “Looks good, Tim, looks really nice,” Michael says. I immediately suspect his motives but I feel I’m in good hands with Anika – the styling service is the ideal spring-racing preparation for those seeking an on-point look or those who just don’t want to hit the shops in search of it. But back to the shoes. Anika says it’s the one area of a bloke’s spring racing wardrobe you can’t afford to skimp on. “A leather shoe is important. If you do wear a man-made material, your feet can get sweaty and uncomfortable. So regardless of how much money you have to spend on your suit, always invest in comfortable shoes.” For the ‘less’ outfit, Anika takes me to something at the other end of the price spectrum, Zara. It’s just one of many popular names

Chadstone boasts, including luxury designers such as Valentino, Celine and Loewe, premium international stores including The Kooples, Reiss and Michael Kors, and flagship stores such as Sephora, H&M and Uniqlo. I slide into my Zara outfit. Zara sunglasses, a Peter Jackson feather pin and Peter Jackson shoes round out the look. It’s a “modern feel, embracing a really light tone”, Anika tells me. “I think as soon as we come out of winter, it’s nice to get rid of the dark colours. “I’ve picked up on that tone with a bit of chocolate there [in the tie] and again just tying it back with a nice tan shoe.”
Again, Michael tells me I look good and at this point I’m starting to believe him. But it leaves us with the million-dollar question: can you really get the right look on any budget? I’ll let Anika have the last word. After all, she’s the professional with more than five years of experience in helping Chadstone shoppers find the right look to suit their body and budget. “As long as you’ve got the fit right, no one really needs to know how much you’ve paid for it. “Accessorising will take it a long way too. “Oh, and don’t skimp on the shoes.” ● TIM DOUTRE

ABOUT THE STALLHOLDERS Bill’s Farm shop 17-20, Deli Hall Bill Tzimas is a former teacher who opened his stall 27 years ago after falling in love with the market and thinking he might “do something different for a few years”. He’s now a qualified cheese grader and his flourishing business has taken over the shop next door. Bill’s bounty includes hanging air-dried meats lined up over sparkling windows filled with an international selection of premium deli items, all bearing hand-written signs.
Dianne’s Delights shop 43-46, Deli Hall Lianna and Paris Protopapas have for 18 months been running the business established by Lianna’s parents, Dianne and Con Louca. Their bright, colourful display of fresh, handmade antipasto products draws customers across the aisles. Many of the recipes are Dianne’s and she still makes many of the dips and antipasto. The stall is known widely for its “three-in-one” dip – a basil pesto, mascarpone and tomato pesto combo – and the bold flavours of the range that includes beetroot, spicy hummus, eggplant and capsicum dips.
Curds & Whey shop 12-13, Deli Hall Anna Burley has worked at the QVM for almost 40 years and opened her cheery corner stall 19 years ago. In its early days, the store mainly sold bulk butter and cheddar cheese and, although she still sells handmade butter, Anna and her son Robert have expanded the range to include a selection of exclusive artisan cheeses produced in Australia and overseas. An array of accompaniments, including fruit pastes and jellies, crackers and condiments, add colour to the golden glow of the curds and whey in the display window.

match. But if you want to make a statement, why not embrace the novelty? “We could bling up a horseshoe-shaped motif,” Rosalie says. “We could match you with your favourite jockey’s colours. We could do a little Melbourne Cup, or even a horse if you’re prepared to spend some extra time.”
The reality The spark for the salon came after Rosalie returned from a UK trip with a suitcase full of nail polish. “At the time, nail art was going crazy in London,” she says. “We thought there was nothing really like that in Melbourne, and we came up with the business overnight.” The sisters work out of their hip salon above Brunswick Street Gallery, and specialise in nail art as well as offering manicures, acrylic and gel services. “We’re both practising artists and designers and we want to give each customer something unique,” Rosalie says.
The pain factor The sisters are more akin to magicians than nail technicians. The only limit to your nail art is your imagination.
The pay-off You can tell from the moment you meet the sisters that your nails are in good hands. Many racegoers opt for something subtle, bringing their frock in to ensure a perfect

Bespoke headpieces perfect for the races or your big day
Who’s behind the counter? Leanne Bonello didn’t quit her day job to pursue her dream of creating bespoke headpieces for special events such as the Spring Racing Carnival and weddings. The reading recovery teacher instead does both, spending her mornings teaching grade 1 kids and afternoons in her store. After studying millinery, being mentored by Peter Jago and collaborating with Mariana Hardwick, she opened Cailin Alainn – Gaelic for “beautiful girl” – in Brunswick. What’s in store? Handmade headpieces, jewellery and other accessories. Leanne says that when it comes to racewear, people have moved away from the hat and are looking for more of a statement piece. Her designs are vintage-inspired and she incorporates lace, painted flowers and pearl embellishments into many of them. Who’s buying? The racing set are regular customers, Leanne says. “Mainly my customers bring in the outfit they’ll be wearing and I make something to match,” she says. But she also has plenty of brides and their mothers approaching her for headpieces, and others seeking a bespoke headpiece. ● VIRGINIA MILLEN

hadstone, Australia’s fashion capital, this week unveils the completion of the first and most significant phase of its $660million development project. With Chadstone a long-established international leader and trend setter in fashion retail, it should come as no surprise that its latest development represents another ground-breaking design first for Australia. Its new development centres on a soaring 31-metre-high atrium and is sheltered by a spectacularly curved 1000-tonne glass gridshell roof, the first of its kind in Australia. The transparent roof floods the centre with natural light and provides Chadstone customers with column-free shopping, thanks to an innovative design by global leaders in design and engineering. Chadstone co-owners Vicinity Centres and Gandel Group have been building the centre’s latest precinct over the past two years, with a focus on opening up new horizons in retail, dining and entertainment experiences for Chadstone’s local and international shoppers. Set to open on Thursday, October 13, the first phase features international flagship stores, more than 60 new retail shops, a dining terrace and a state-of-the-art Hoyts cinema complex. Chadstone attracts about 20 million Australian and international visitors annually and when the project is completed in mid-2017 they will have the choice of nearly 600 retailers, with the convenience of the centre’s already completed 10,000 car parks and 14-bay centralised bus interchange. Vicinity Centres CEO and managing director Angus McNaughton says the world-class architecture at Chadstone reflects the essence of leading flagship fashion retail and iconic developments from around the globe to create a fresh customer experience based on the best of international design. “From London to Germany, then the Czech Republic to Australia, the impressive design and development of Australia’s first glass gridshell roof represents the innovation and collaboration of some of the best architects and engineers from around the world,” he says. Angus says the project aims to evolve Chadstone and take it beyond being the best in fashion and general retail to offer the best customer experience across shopping, entertainment and dining. “We have designed and delivered a perfect showcase for the premium customer experience we offer at Chadstone. This is one of the largest milestones in Chadstone’s history and reinforces its position as Australia’s number one shopping destination.” ● LIZ McLACHLAN lmclachlan@theweeklyreview.com.au

WEST MALL
NEW DINING PRECINCTS
NEW STORES
Chadstone will introduce two new dining precincts – a dining terrace and 1300-seat food gallery. The new dining terrace takes its inspiration from around the world and showcases seven new restaurants with wide appeal, some of which will be opening branches in a shopping centre or outside of Melbourne or Sydney’s CBD for the first time. These restaurants include the Burger Project by Neil Perry, Woodstock Pizzicheria, Marae Izakaya and Mexican street food favourite Fonda. There will be more than 20 outlets in the food gallery, offering local and international flavours. ●
More than 60 new retail stores open this week in the first phase of Chadstone’s redevelopment. They include two-level stores for international fashion giants Uniqlo and H&M, along with flagship retailer Sephora and Tesla Motors’ first integrated Melbourne retail dealership. At completion in mid-2017, the development will feature more than 100 new retailers, including international luxury designer stores such as Valentino, Celine and Loewe, premium international stores including the Kooples, Reiss and Michael Kors, and Australia’s first Legoland Discovery Centre. ●
Australia’s first glass gridshell roof covers more than 7000 square metres and free-spans up to 42 metres over Chadstone’s new precinct. Based on a lattice framework, the roof derives its strength from its double curvature. Meticulously designed, planned and executed in Australia and overseas, the roof includes 2700 glass panels of varying shapes and sizes all seamlessly mapped to complete the structure. Each panel was made and coated in Germany then individually installed. ●

verybody needs good neighbours. Without the kindly people of Northcote’s Sumner estate – a jasmine-laden pocket just west of St Georges Road – the owner of this 1920s house would never have found the place that became her welcoming and distinctive family home. “We missed out on a house a few doors up,” the mother of five says. “The neighbours saw I was upset and said ‘Come and have a look at this place; it’s a much better house’. “What attracted me was how pretty it was – the fretwork, the bay windows. It was elevated without being pompous. But I did wonder, how are we going to turn a two-bedroom house into a five-bedroom house?” In came architect David Neil, and by 2006 the little house had a second storey, five bedrooms and three living areas, including the family and dining zone that opens north to the landscaped backyard. The owner sourced some of the remarkable details, such as the Filleti stone, imported from Greece and set into a garden path winding to the timber front stairs. In the kitchen, she caresses the shimmering brown mosaic tiles above the range. “Each tile has its own copper casing,” she says. “My brief to David was, ‘I want this to be timeless. In 20 or 30 years’ time, I want to be able to walk in and love it then like I love it now. And I do. What I love is its connection to life, to the earth. When I stand here, in the kitchen, I look out to the garden and have a connection to the sky.” The Sumner estate, whose houses date mostly from 1921-24, brims with flowers and fragrance. To the east are St Georges Road’s trams; to the south and west, the Merri parklands form a thick green curve. Northcote High School is a 10-minute walk. This house sits high above a lush garden and alongside a laneway that serves the rear, two-car off-street parking. The original front rooms have New Zealand kauri floorboards. The living room and impressive main bedroom have open fireplaces. From the bedroom a private corridor leads to built-in and walk-in wardrobes and a fully tiled en suite with shower and twin basins. The main bathroom has a skylight, bath and shower. There’s a laundry and, one door along, a study with storage and a desk. In the rear wing, kauri gives way to ironbark in a dining and family area almost eight metres wide. The dining area has bench seating and bifold doors to the deck, which is built around a big olive tree, and the gas-plumbed barbecue kitchen. In the family area, a mesh-fronted fireplace promises a winter worth having. The kitchen has a polished concrete island, 900-millimetre Ilve range and a walk-in pantry. The carpeted first floor has four double bedrooms with wardrobes. Two of these also have desks. The bathroom has a shower brilliantly lined with red and orange tiles. At the front, the retreat’s box bay window gives a clear view of the New Year’s Eve fireworks. It’s a romantic picture, as befits a tale told by a neighbour whose grandmother grew up in the house. “[The neighbour] said his grandfather, when he was courting her, would stand outside and serenade her on his violin,’’ the owner says. ● ALISON BARCLAY property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Built in the 1870s, this terrace house had just two habitable rooms when its vendors bought it in 2003. Today it’s the jewel of the Gatehouse Street corner, its ruby-glass arched entry and bay window sparkling behind a lush garden. The house has three levels – ground floor, first-floor bedroom suite and a 600-bottle cellar/workshop – and a rear courtyard with a roller door for parking. The front library (or third bedroom) is sumptuous in raspberry red with white bookcases and a gas log fireplace. The Baltic pine hall opens into a family room with fireplace; stroll through to the polished concrete dining room, where there are french doors to the landscaped lightwell. The country-style kitchen has Smeg and Asko appliances, a ceramic sink and walk-in pantry. The kitchen and the ground-floor double bedroom open to the brick-paved courtyard. The white bathroom has a shower. Upstairs are a study nook, concealed laundry and carpeted main bedroom, with a vaulted ceiling and marble en suite with shower. ● ALISON BARCLAY

Palm trees and a big lawn, timber blinds, decks and polished floorboards give this three-bedroom house a relaxing retro, holiday feel, yet it has all the comforts for modern living. A manicured front garden dotted with palms leads to a deck and front door. Inside polished floorboards and a large bay window ensure the kitchen, dining and living area has a bright, open feel. The kitchen has stone benchtops and a breakfast bar and looks out over the backyard. The bedroom zone is off a hallway with study nook. Each bedroom has a built-in wardrobe, ceiling fan and timber blinds. The bathroom has a clawfoot bath, shower and toilet. The expansive, north-facing backyard has a large deck, Hills hoist, lots of lawn and a lock-up garage with workshop and is reminiscent of times gone by. This is an outdoor area that can be enjoyed as is, or the house could be extended, still leaving plenty of garden. Schools, shops and the Darebin sports centre are within walking distance. ● JULIETTE ELFICK

CARLTON \ 91 RAT A HDOWNE STREET AT Opposite Carlton Gardens and the Royal Exhibition Building, this fabulous terrace house, one of only three, is part of the award-winning Garden House development. A collaboration between design firms Woods Bagot and Hecker Guthrie, it might only be a short stroll from the heart of the city and the hubbub of Lygon Street but it feels like an oasis of calm. Set back from the street, it has a private courtyard in front of its ridged-concrete facade. A bright, ground-floor bedroom has a huge angular window, walk-in wardrobe and en suite with semi-circular shower. There’s also access to the tandem garage, which has tonnes of storage. The main bedroom is on the next level. It has glass pendant lights and a walk-in wardrobe. In the expansive, dual-vanity en suite, there’s a sleek, freestanding bath and rainhead shower. At the other end of this floor, the third bedroom is next to another bathroom and European laundry. On the top level, Turkish limestone stretches across the floor of the open-plan living and dining areas, and there’s a spectacular view of the Royal Exhibition dome from the balcony. A built-in entertainment unit along one wall flows into the fitted kitchen, which has a Gaggenau oven and integrated Liebherr fridge-freezer. There’s also a bar and study desk. All this, plus a fabulous roof terrace with 270-degree views of the city skyline. ● STEPHEN A. RUSSELL
