Sure, I marvelled at the brilliance of Van Gogh and Hockney, Warhol and Degas, but what really blew my mind was the magnificent mayhem of the 2014 Jean-Paul Gaultier retrospective and the wit and whimsy of last year’s Viktor & Rolf.

Now The House of Dior exhibition promises to outshine them all.

Opening this Sunday, it will showcase a spectacular array of haute couture garments and accessories spread across seven galleries. For a taste of what’s in store, read our fascinating cover story inside. ●

DIOR unzipped AUSTRALIA IS SET TO FALL FOR DIOR ALL OVER AGAIN.

BY JANICE BREEN BURNS

S

eventy years ago a bland little bloke on the other side of the planet sparked a fashion revolution that peaked right here in Australia and still resonates around the world today.

It was 1947 and, after years of drab, mannish, war-rationed fashion, a shy, middle-aged Parisian named Christian Dior twigged that women were uniquely parched; they wanted their femininity back. They wanted to look like women again.

“They were desperate,” says Katie Somerville, the National Gallery of Victoria’s senior curator of fashion and textiles, and head curator of the lavish, seven-gallery The House of Dior: Seventy Years of Haute Couture that opens this week. “They wanted something that was radically new. And that’s what he gave them.”

Dior’s Corolle collection of February 1947 (the first from his eponymous couture house) became known as the New Look. It blasted the boxy, broadshouldered fashion rations of World War II into oblivion, and proposed instead silhouettes that zoomed elegantly down from soft shoulders, kinked into 46-cm waistlines and blossomed – whooosh – into petticoat-fattened skirts that swayed gracefully to the lower calves.

“I have moulded my dresses to the curves of the female body,” Dior said at the time. “I have designed clothes for flower-like women, with rounded shoulders, full feminine busts and handspan waists above enormous spreading skirts.”

So dramatic was the New Look’s impact,

legendary photographer Cecil Beaton observed: “Any woman in an ‘old look’ dress was marked for pity and ridicule.”

Katie Somerville has installed the star of that prophetic collection, the iconic Bar Suit, front and centre in the first of The House of Dior’s rooms at the NGV. Its shapely ivory silk shantung jacket, deep, curved peplum and thickly pleated skirt – padded secretly for extra hip girth – are instantly recognisable, still the most famous fragment of Dior’s decade-long career. (It’s astonishing, given his

legacy, that Dior ran his fashion house for just over 10 years before he died of a heart attack in 1957.)

“The exhibition isn’t chronologically set out,” explains Katie, “but we do start at the start. We thought it important to establish that story of the early years because, though many people do know his name, they don’t know much else, or even what type of designer he was.”

Dior was an unwitting rebel; reportedly so shocked by frenetic reactions to the New Look he murmured, “What have I done?” at the end of the

dubbed Envol and Zig-Zag to Sydney for an historic show series at David Jones. It was the first time his entire seasonal offering was shown outside Paris.

In the NGV’s The House of Dior Dior, one long room is devoted to those momentous days, but that’s where the chronology ends. “We followed themes instead, so you get a real sense of the key things, the dynamism,” says Katie.

One themed gallery for example, is devoted to Dior’s ‘codes’; the lines, forms and core design influences like the flower, the 18th-century references and other themes that were originally established in his era then revisited again and again by later creative directors.

Corolle show. And the response was not all positive; the silhouette’s regressive corsetry and extravagance (up to 40 metres of fabric for one frock) scandalised many, including Coco Chanel, but delighted more.

Australian women were among the earliest and most enthusiastic adopters. They were already avid fans of French couture, having been treated to a rash of catwalk parades of fresh-picked collections flown in juddering converted Lancasters from Paris by the Australian Women’s Weekly and David Jones.

By late 1947 they’d even seen the Bar Suit up close in a mixed show of Parisian couture, and had run up their own versions of a particularly chic black Dior cocktail gown from a pattern published in the Weekly. Aussies, in other words, were more than ready for front-line duty in Monsieur Dior’s widening New Look revolution.

“Australians have a cleaner, brighter outlook and are more receptive to new ideas than the tired people of European countries,” Dior stated in 1948, just before shipping the New Look collections he’d

ore than 140 breathtakingly lovely couture gowns and impossibly chic ensembles (200 garments, accessories and toiles in total) are arranged by those themes into the seven galleries across the exhibition’s huge footprint. It’s technically bigger than the NGV’s recent Van Gogh blockbuster, and incorporates a Dior-esque staircase and suspended mezzanine.

More than 90 couture pieces were borrowed from Dior’s Paris archive, 15 from British fashion writer and collector Hamish Bowles and 20 from the NGV’s own Dior archive, including an example of Yves St. Laurent’s first collection as Dior designer in 1958 and a ravishing little black silk faille cocktail dress ordered for Nat King Cole’s wife in 1954.

The prize treasure in the NGV’s Dior archive, however, is an haute couture gown in the deconstructionist style from the spring-summer 2000 collection of John Galliano, the most ingenious and infamous of the house’s seven creative directors since Monsieur Christian.

Last month it was joined by another rarity; the NGV’s special commission of a Dior red coat from minimalist Raf Simons’ short-lived creative directorship.

The exhibition’s final sweep is an avenue of hautecouture masterpieces by each Dior creative director: Simons, Saint Laurent, Galliano, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferre and current head Maria Grazia Chiuri. The NGV’s Katie is intrigued by their varying allegiances to Dior’s original codes.

“It was obviously a balancing act for them,” she says. “The house heritage, against what they could truly bring of themselves.”

One quality on which none of them compromise, however, is femininity. Seventy years after the New Look stunned the fashion world, Dior women still look unmistakably like women. ● THE HOUSE OF DIOR \ SEVENTY YEARS OF HAUTE COUTURE Aug 27 - Nov 17, ngv.vic.gov.au ONLINE \ Dior & Me with Lindy Klim, Lana Wilikinson & Alexia Petsinis

THE ART OF CONVERSATION

Dan Sultan

D

an Sultan is not having a good week. The Melbourne rocker should be celebrating the release of his fourth album, Killer Killer, but instead he’s beleaguered by flu.

He’s sweating with fever, visibly miserable and, worst of all, losing his voice. In short, he’s not really in the mood for a chat.

Thankfully, I have a few cards up my sleeve. One hundred of them, to be precise. Courtesy of The School of Life Melbourne, I’ve come armed with a Conversation Toolkit, a collection of adventurous questions designed to short-circuit small talk and plunge us into meaning ful communion.

Usually, it’s the journo who picks the questions.

Today, I’m letting Dan choose for himself. What could possibly go wrong?

What music has inf luenced your attitude to life?

Growing up as a kid I listened to a lot of old rock ’n’ roll from the ’50s and ’60s. A lot of that stuff was really pretty positive, a lot of upbeat love songs. I see myself as a generally positive person.

In what areas are you happy to be ‘good enough’?

I think I’m a perfectionist. But if I don’t feel like I can get something perfect, then I let it go pretty quickly.

I like to play a little bit of football and if the game’s going well, that’s great, but if it’s not, then I’m OK with going: ‘F--- it, this game’s sh-- anyway.’

With music, the song will let you know when it’s right. You’ve just got to be listening. My job is to honour that, to go where the album wants to go.

“I don’t read reviews. Some people would think it’s because I don’t care, but it’s because I care too much.”

What’s the most surprising conversation you’ve ever had?

I was hitchhiking from Albury to Melbourne, years ago. One driver spoke to me about growing up in a cult, where his parents weren’t allowed to hang out with him or his sister, because they would infect them, because children were pure. It was really quite fascinating.

Are you good at taking criticism?

No. I don’t read reviews. Some people would think it’s because I don’t care, but it’s because I care too much. Don’t believe it when they’re saying you’re great, ’cause then you won’t believe it when they’re saying otherwise.

You reach a certain point where that becomes people’s automatic thought as to what’s going on if you’re a bit sick.

If you could own any one piece of art, what would it be?

Van Gogh’s Starry Night. Or a nice, famous guitar, like Jimi Hendrix’s guitar from Woodstock. But what do you do, owning something like that? It’s something that belongs to the world, I would feel uncomfortable. ● LISTEN \ Dan Sultan’s Killer is out now. dansultan.com Dan will play at the Forum Theatre in Melbourne on September 2.

What makes you most stressed?

Losing my voice. Not being able to do what I know I can do. And people assuming the worst. I’m a young man and there’s been times I haven’t looked after myself.

The best things

in life are free MARINA OLIPHANT

T

here are some gifts you can’t put a value on, no matter how much they cost. Just ask Melinda Ovens, who moderates the Give Away Free Stuff in Melbourne Facebook page.

Melinda helps oversee the burgeoning community of more than 51,000 members from across Melbourne. They’re part of what’s being dubbed the “gift economy”, where generous and environmentally conscious people give away furniture, household items, clothing or food to those who want it, rather than throwing it away to add to ever-growing mountains of landfill.

Melinda says the Facebook group has spawned scores of heartwarming stories since it started in 2010, but one of her favourites involved a couple who were new to Australia and expecting their first baby. “They had very little, and she’d been sitting on the floor. Then they claimed a pair of lounge chairs and were so happy just to have something comfy.”

Such is the altruism on the Facebook page that one could literally fill their home with furniture – or their pantry with Arnott’s Shapes.

One Abbotsford man offered 22 boxes of pizzaflavoured Shapes. He had bought 60 boxes after hearing that Arnotts was about to change the recipe

for his favourite snack, but then discovered there is, in fact, such a thing as having too many Shapes.

Unsurprisingly, the post went viral.

Face-to-face giving opportunities are also becoming increasingly popular – thanks to initiatives such as the Really Really Free Market Preston, which started in April.

One of the market’s organisers, Suse Scholem, says her passion for the free economy has inspired her involvement in a host of local groups, including Streetbank and Kensington Good Karma Network.

“People aren’t satisfied with the consumerist way of life, they want to share things that are good and of value but that they no longer need,” she says.

Suse and 10 other like-minded people united to set up the market (based on an idea that started in New Zealand in the 1990s), where people can go to learn and share new skills as well as give and receive free goods. “Bowen therapy (massage) is

ongoing and we have yoga classes, edible weed walks, haircuts, clothing repair and jewellery repairs,” she says. “There are also upcycling workshops and food-waste workshops, and you can learn about dumpster diving.”

The market has recently been, well, gifted free use of a local scout hall to set up shop on the last Sunday of each month. “The only thing we ask of those who have a market stall is that they take back what they haven’t been able to give away,” Suse says.

Melinda says Give Away Free Stuff in Melbourne also has rules about gifting etiquette, asking that people not take free stuff to make money from it.

“We try to keep it fairly open, but ask for people to disclose faults, if food is out of date, that type of thing. With electrical items, we recommend getting everything checked by an electrician,” she says.

“While someone might not want a grotty mattress to sleep on, they might use the springs to grow beans, and that keeps it out of landfill, which is a win-win.” ● MELISSA HEAGNEY

The perfect match

JAMES BRICKWOOD

STOMPING GROUND: DINNER WITH PAUL WEST

hen you go to an Attica-level restaurant for a gourmet feast, it’s easy to see how much thought has gone into finding wines that perfectly match the food. But what about beer?

“I think beer can be paired in the same way that wines are paired with food at fancy, top-notch restaurants,” says Paul West, chef-turned-subsistence-farmer and star of River Cottage Australia.

Paul, in Melbourne this week for a special beer-matched dinner at Stomping Ground Brewery, says drinking the right beer with the right food is like putting “sauce on a pie”.

“The hops themselves can offer all kinds of different aroma and flavour profiles, and varying degrees of bitterness, so when you’re working with a brewer, you can tailor a beer to a menu or vice versa,” he says. “The dishes that you can enjoy with a beer are only limited by your imagination.”

He says an IPA, for example, pairs perfectly with the likes of crisp-skinned pork belly. “A pale would cut through the fat and saltiness of the skin and lift a dish like that,” he says. “If I was having a darker malt or a porter, I would go with something like a pudding or a dark chocolate tart.” ●

FOOD

Wedged between Georgia, Iran, Azerbaijan and Turkey, Armenia isn’t high on most Australians’ holiday lists. Shukah, which opened in Windsor in May, might be as close as most of us will get to authentic Armenian food.

Owned by the folks behind Sezar and The Black Toro, Shukah is a narrow space flanked by pastel-green banquettes on one side and an open kitchen on the other.

There are floral wall decals and metallic touches, but all iPhones tend to point to a glowing neon sign on one wall.

Start with cocktails spiked with sumac and small dishes that nod to Armenia’s neighbours – perhaps one-bite brioche circles with tiny fried quail eggs and curls of bastourma (air-dried beef) or tender octopus beneath a salty mound of green olive “salsa”.

Blockish beef kofte swaddled in vine leaves arrives on labne, while jammy persimmon amba (fruit chutney) is the condiment of choice for roast barramundi.

They don’t shy away from fats here, such as in the sticky poached quince dessert that comes in a deluge of brown butter served with dill and (more) labne.

Simply put, Shukah is delicious. But what else would you expect from a country with proverbs like: “How can one start a fast with baklava in one’s hand?” ●

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

ALICE TOPP, CHOREOGRAPHER

Who is she?

After a decade dancing with the Australian Ballet’s company corps, Alice Topp has turned her hand to choreography. Her new one-act work, Little Atlas, “about our attachment to memory and our desires to either recreate or unmake memories”, will be performed as part of a new multi-work showcase, Symphony in C.

Had you always wanted to choreograph?

“I stumbled into it, to be honest. Nicolette Fraillon, our musical director, asked me and I said yes, despite having absolutely no clue what I would do. But I’ve loved the chance to have my own voice, instead of being one of 24 swans in Swan Lake.”

Is it an advantage to have a background as a dancer?

I’m not sure it’s necessary to have been a dancer, but I know what feels good on my body and how I want other people to feel.”

DANIEL BOUD

What else is on the program?

Top billing goes to George Balanchine’s Symphony in C, which has golden-age elegance and modern sparkle. It’s accompanied by a selection of classical pieces and two works from emerging choreographers, including Alice.

How do you balance your dancing with choreography?

“It’s a lot of juggling. At the moment, we’re rehearsing Alice in Wonderland and I have multiple roles to learn while staging my own rehearsals, and I’m also dancing in the other half of Symphony in C.” SYMPHONY IN C \ Arts Centre Melbourne, August 24-September 2, $43-$236 ● australianballet.com.au

Fat chance

MICHAEL RAYNER

M

y generation, and the one before that, has been conditioned to think that if we eat fat we get fat, but that’s simply not the case.

For five decades we’ve been told that all fats are bad and, if we want to remain slim and healthy, we should avoid them at all costs.

But guess what? Eating fat doesn’t make you fat.

It’s the ridiculous amount of processed carbohydrates and refined sugars hidden in our foods, that we as a society consume in scarily high portions, that’s to blame.

I work closely with a team of nutritionists to educate our members on why we need to stop being afraid of fat. Not all fats are created equal. It’s important to distinguish between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ fats to ensure we’re eating the right kinds in the right amounts.

More often than not, food products marketed as ‘low-fat’ have had the fat taken out, but sugar and salt have been added in its place. Sugar is the culprit that’s tightening our jeans and hurting our health.

So, what should we eat and what do we avoid?

GOOD FATS The best way to determine whether something is a healthy fat is to ask yourself if it’s unprocessed. If it has come from the ground, a tree or an animal and hasn’t been interfered with by humans, it’s probably good for you.

arlie Stocker is very familiar with the beautiful surrounds of Korowa Anglican Girls’ Grammar in Glen Iris, in Melbourne’s innereast. That’s not just because she’s taught at the school for eight years but also because she is a former student who graduated in 2004.

Karlie started at Korowa as a physical education teacher. She was promoted to Head of Cripps (middle years) this year, leading young students through one of the most important phases of their lives and their learning journey. That was something she first became passionate about during a stint as a sports coach while she was a student herself.

“I always enjoyed coaching and teaching younger children … and during my gap year was fortunate enough to spend time teaching disadvantaged children how to swim,” Karlie says. “The experience was incredible, and being surrounded by some amazing teachers during my school years definitely inspired me to consider PE teaching as a career.”

Karlie works with girls in years 6-8 to help them move into their teen years, building the skills to take on their senior years and beyond.

“At these year levels, girls are able to explore their interests and investigate different subjects before deciding what they will specialise in during their senior years,” she says.

“There is a great opportunity for their learning to be varied and different, allowing for lots of collaboration and experiential learning.

“This is done while they build the foundations for their later years of schooling and building 21stcentury skills like collaboration, problem-solving and entrepreneurship.”

Learning outside the classroom is an integral part of Korowa’s Middle School programs. It allows students to experience life, and school, in other states and countries.

“Experiential learning is designed to develop girls’ independence and self-discipline and provides opportunities for interstate and overseas travel through camps, outdoor education and Korowa’s Space School adventure to the US,” Karlie says.

It’s also about learning through giving back to others, which has always been part of the philosophy at Korowa. “The Cripps program ensures that our girls learn to share of themselves and their spirit through a variety of actions,” Karlie says.

“This includes our Service Learning Projects, Service First fun and friend-raising days and … the Social Service program.”

Karlie has enjoyed her role at Korowa, not only because of her own experiences at the school. “[It] has given me the opportunity to enable young women to do and be anything they want to be,” she says. “They are able to study in an environment where gender stereotypes are removed, and pursue success in all areas.”

Korowa’s middle years’ students have female role models in staff, students and alumni.

“They see the senior girls leading the way, they meet our alumni, who are experiencing success in diverse industries, and every day they see strong female staff members leading in the school and the classroom,” Karlie says. “It shows them they can enjoy some great success in the future.” ● MELISSA HEAGNEY

Drive your way to wellness

ercedes-Benz is set to turn its cars into a personal assistant and personal trainer – combining Jarvis, Iron Man’s digital assistant, and Michelle Bridges – with systems that will monitor your wellbeing and stress levels, as well as seats, scents and sensors designed to make you feel better.

A personal assistant called a Vitality Coach will be part of a suite of systems that will follow your every move, even when you’re not behind the wheel.

This means that when you are driving, it knows exactly how you’re feeling, based on your pulse, your calendar (how late you are or aren’t

for your next appointment) and how much you’ve taken its advice about exercising that day.

Benz is working on a brandspecific wearable device that will do

high-resolution cameras that will measure your blink rate and pupil dilation, so the car knows whether you are stressed, angry or tired.

“We want you to be fitter and healthier when you get out of the car than you were when you got in,” Dr Goetz says.

“If the Vitality Coach senses that you are stressed, it will recommend a program called Regeneration and will use one of the seven built-in comfort systems, and you will experience something for seven minutes that will relax you – using a combination of massage, fragrance or music.

“By using artificial intelligence the car will decide what is best for you. If the systems sense that you are tired, it will recommend an Activation Program, and if it senses that your body position hasn’t changed much

in a long time, it will recommend you do something about that.”

In an increasingly robotised world, with drones delivering our every desire to our doorsteps, “sitting will become the new smoking”, according to Dr Goetz, and keeping your body active at all times, even in a car, is his goal.

“We’re talking about a 24/7 approach and one that takes in every part of your life, from your schedule to the weather, to hazards, everything,” he says.

Mercedes is working on its wearable device with Phillips, because it says the more popular Apple Watch isn’t accurate enough, and Phillips is the first to offer a medical-grade sensor for measuring your pulse on your wrist.

The next step will be sensors built into the steering wheel and seat,

which Dr Goetz’s team is currently working on.

His team has also been asked by Mercedes’ truck and bus division to develop a wearable ECG vest, which would be worn by truckies and longdistance bus drivers. The vest, which is washable and can be worn under your clothes, will constantly monitor a driver’s heart.

If a cardiac arrest is detected, it will take over the controls of the truck or bus and pull it over to the side of the road.

It’s an ingenious idea that could save many lives. Dr Goetz says testing is already under way and it should be rolled out in 2020. ● STEPHEN CORBY

hrist Church Grammar School has a long history in education. It has called Punt Road in South Yarra home since 1898, and has become one of Melbourne’s best co-educational schools for prep-year 6 students.

In that time, the school has grown and changed in other ways. Principal Chrissy Gamble says the latest redevelopment, designed by Sally Draper Architects in association with McIldowie Partners, is one of its most exciting evolutions.

“In terms of the buildings, you only need to have a look on Punt Road to see how beautiful they are,” Chrissy says.

“They’re very historic buildings, so anything that we build needs to incorporate a seamless blend of the old and the new.”

The latest redevelopment will include an

teaching philosophy, which focuses on literacy and numeracy learning,” Chrissy says.

“Those learning studio spaces allow us to have differentiated groups every day.”

Chrissy says the new resource centre – previously the school’s library – will offer digital and analog (book) learning.

Christ Church Grammar School’s well-established memorial hall is also getting a new visual arts centre, which will include places for students to try sculpture, woodwork and stonework.

“It’s an expressive space,” Chrissy says.

“It honours the fact that at Christ Church Grammar School we have a really outstanding arts program, not only in the visual arts, but also in the performing arts.” ● MELISSA HEAGNEY

They’re here for a first peek at the latest homewares range from their favourite store, and they squeal in delight as they whip out their phones to snap the latest furniture, dinnerware and more.

These Insta-influencers have one thing in common – they’re all posting about Kmart.

Yes, one of Australia’s most affordable department stores is suddenly one of the hottest brands in home style, inspiring a slew of social media accounts, many with upwards of 100,000 followers.

homewares range, simply because they’re fans.

“I remember being so proud when I first saw pictures of our stuff being posted – now it’s just blown up, it’s huge,” says Kmart’s head of living Julie Miller-Sensini.

It’s a far cry from where the brand was seven years ago when Julie started in the role. In 2010, useful but somewhat daggy products were the Kmart’s purview – a cheap kettle or perhaps a new mop. “Kmart was the place you went to for your basics, for either problem-solving or setting up your home,” Julie says.

With nearly 30 years experience in homewares buying for big companies here and in the UK, Julie was determined to revitalise Kmart’s homewares range – while still keeping it accessible.

“We increased the fashionability of our ranges and shortened the lead time from when we saw trends emerging to bring that on-trend product to the market quicker,” she says.

“The key was to do it at prices where customers didn’t really have to think about it or feel guilty about it.”

Under Julie’s direction, Kmart hired more inhouse designers and the team travelled to London, Europe and the US each year to spot new trends.

“I remember being so proud when I first saw pictures of our stuff being posted – now it’s just blown up, it’s huge.”

– JULIE MILLER-SENSINI

They also researched their customers, going into homes to see how people lived.

“A lot of customers are families and our products need to withstand family use,” says Julie. “It’s not good enough for the product to look great and have low prices – they’ve got to perform as well.”

It’s also important to keep the products affordable. Julie says the company orders items in high volume, which helps keep prices down.

But she says there is no reason that affordable products can’t also be stylish. “Is it harder? Does it take more time? Absolutely. We spend a lot more time, compared with other retailers, on getting those details right,” Julie says.

Even she is surprised by the level of Kmartobsession that has taken over social media. “I’ve worked with a lot of different retailers and I’ve never seen the kind of product love that I’ve experienced at Kmart – it’s been astonishing.”

The fact that it’s not only everyday buyers, but also professional stylists and interiors magazines using the products, has her particularly chuffed.

“To be a wanted, respected and credible brand, not just because of low prices but from a trend and fashionability perspective – we could never have dreamed of that.” ●

f all the trends to make a mark on interior design, personalisation is the most pervasive. It comes from an innate desire to stamp our individual style on our homes and make them uniquely ours.

Choosing the colours and textures that speak to personal tastes can really make a house a home. The trick is ensuring what looks good is also functional and will suit your family’s lifestyle.

Striking this balance is especially challenging when building a new house from scratch. As more homeowners opt to demolish their properties and rebuild rather than sell, personalisation has become increasingly essential.

Once upon a time, home builders offered little choice to their clients beyond a handful of stockstandard facades and floor plans.

Today, canny builders are starting to embrace the personalisation trend by offering designs that can be customised to a buyer’s every whim.

Full flexibility allows buyers to ultimately create a bespoke home, says Drew Glascott, Metricon’s Victorian sales manager.

“Most of the time builders will hand a brochure out with different plans and say, ‘What do you want? How big do you want it?’, and they just sort of come up with a home,” he says.

“But people who go through volume builders still

want a design that’s not like other people have purchased before, so it’s uniquely their home.”

Metricon’s Signature service gives customers the freedom to alter existing floor plans to suit their needs – an experience that would otherwise be much more expensive.

“Signature experience is all about working with the clients on what their lifestyle is, what their needs are, finding out all about them – then going to what home design would suit,” Glascott says.

Close consultation between the builder and the buyer – on everything from the window sizes to the paint colours, the size of the island bench and the locations of power points – is key to getting it right.

Having an idea of which styles you want inside your home is also important. Your selections may

not be trend-driven, but researching local and international interior trends may inform decisions.

Metricon design manager Ricky D’Alesio says the residential property market is influenced by trends, just like any other industry. “Design in some ways follows fashion trends and that’s why we looked overseas to see what new colours are in fashion that we could incorporate in the residential space.

“It’s a lot like a catwalk, because we release a new range of homes every six to 12 months and they all have their own styles.”

Open floor plans still dominate, as do expansive windows that take in as much natural light as possible. Street appeal is also a high priority, which is why designers like Ricky spend a lot of time and effort getting facades just right.

“From a Metricon perspective we consider the facade as important as the floor plan,” he says.

“Street appeal is very important. You’re actually attracted to the home by its facade and if you like what you see externally, you tend to walk inside.”

Matching a facade with a tailormade interior is finally on the table for buyers, who no longer have to make compromises on the house of their dreams. ● KATE JONES FOR MORE INFORMATION \ www.metricon.com.au

RADIO HOST

(MICHAEL RAYNER)

If Kate Langbroek has ever been guilty of putting up a facade, it’s the one on her St Kilda home, and it gives away absolutely nothing about the warm and witty woman within.

When the much-loved KIIS radio host and her husband Peter bought their three-bedroom house 10 years ago, it was only just big enough to accommodate what was then a family of four.

Two more children later, it was time for an extension. The work was dictated by heritage guidelines covering the house – one of the few surviving prefabricated iron and timber cottages shipped from Britain, like a Victorian flatpack, in the mid-1850s.

“It is our ideology not to live in an overly large house. I think there is supposed to be a bit of negotiation in living together which, as the children get bigger, is being tested,” says Kate, laughing.

“The rule of thumb is if you love something genuinely, unless it is a murderer in prison, it generally works out. There’s is nothing precious in this house except for what the heart has made precious.” ● ● Join Hughesy & Kate on KIIS 1065, weekdays, 4-6pm ● Kate is ambassador for the Children’s Cancer Foundation

ob Mills is totally cool for school. Soon after completing this sleek townhouse in 2010, the Prahran architect was snapped up to work on yoga schools in Melbourne and Sydney, his designs for which landed him in the finals of several awards.

It’s easy to see why the yogis liked him. Calm and composure are built into every detail of a Mills interior.

This property understands the unique nature of the neighbourhood, which borders the CBD, yet is quiet and hidden by trees. The homes are huge – ideal for corporate entertaining, and for families with older children.

With three levels connected by a lift, and a glorious view across the reserve to the Fitzroy Gardens, this house promises peace in frenetic times.

Calacatta marble floors and American walnut finishes ensure subdued luxury. Double glazing, floor to ceiling, maintains serenity and sunshine.

The marble foyer opens left to a large office or fourth bedroom with a wardrobe and a concealed bar. Next door is a bathroom, fully tiled in marble with a walk-in shower and a marble cabinet. Even the laundry, one door down, is marble. T Take the rear door to the double garage, which opens to Agnes Street.

On the first floor, one gigantic open-plan zone sprawls in lustrous marble to a landscaped terrace with lights and speakers at the north end, and a secluded barbecue patio at the other.

The living area has a park view and an entertainment unit. The dining area segues gracefully into the kitchen, splendid in marble and walnut with Miele appliances and a Liebherr integrated fridge. Chefs will appreciate the enormous island workspace. Sliding doors lead to the travertine patio, which has a granite kitchen with an Electrolux barbecue.

Take the lift or stairs to the carpeted second floor, where T the main bedroom opens to a balcony overlooking the park. The two-room en suite is stunning, with twin Corian basins preceding the hand-carved stone bath and doublehead shower.

Two further bedrooms share the rear balcony and have T fully tiled en suites.

The property has under-floor and ducted heating, integrated speakers and C-Bus automation. ● ALISON BARCLAY

weet and serene, this 1920s period house sits above the street, facing beautiful open parkland. The cottage-style garden has been a labour of love for the owner, a landscape gardener and horticulturist. It is a sea of green from the porch and bijou balcony with the glorious backdrop of Boroondara Park.

Well loved for more than 20 years, there is much potential here. From the pretty porch, the hallway, like the rest of the house, has traditional features. It is lined with decorative fretwork ledges and has original polished floorboards.

The front sitting room has an open fireplace, picture rails and triple-pane leadlight windows, with floral touches of red and blue. Double doors lead to the balcony, which also opens to the main bedroom. It is an idyllic place to pass the time, whatever the season.

The main bedroom is comfortable with its open fireplace, frosted leadlight windows and verdant views.

It has floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes. Conveniently situated next door is the main bathroom.

On the opposite side of the hall is the formal dining room, which can be closed off for a convivial feast in front of an open fire. It leads to the kitchen, which has stainlesssteel appliances and timber cabinetry. There is also a small “secret” wine cellar, hidden beneath the floorboards.

The family meals area and adjoining retreat look out to the paved rear garden and plunge pool, tucked in its own private pocket at the back. Wide windows make the leafy outdoor setting seem part of the house.

There are two more bedrooms, with a small bathroom and the laundry between them and, coupled with the retreat, this effectively can be its own zone.

What used to be the garage below has been converted to a studio, well suited as a home office or gym. It can be accessed from the front garden but also has a cunning trapdoor and ladder from the hallway leading to this basement space.

The property is in a cul-de-sac alongside the Anniversary Trail, and East Camberwell station is only a few minutes’ walk away.

There is off-street parking for two cars. ● DIANA IANA BAXTER property@domain.com.au

Set up a sunbed on the verandah or chill out by the pool. No matter your decision, this Hamptons-style dwelling will have you believing you’re in Long Island.

Every space in this well-proportioned family residence is thoughtfully used. The main suite, with walk-in wardrobe and en suite, is just to the left of the entry – it’s the only bedroom on the ground level. Across the hall from it is a study.

Step down to the living room, which has views across the pool to the recreation room. The family and meals area has huge windows that also look over the pool terrace. The bright kitchen is a gathering point, as is the covered outdoor entertainment area.

There’s a theatre beyond, ideal for teenage sleepovers as it’s soundproof. The adjacent cellar is lockable.

Of the four bedrooms upstairs, one has city views from its balcony; another has an en suite. There’s a kids’ living area and another bathroom, too.

The property has a double garage with internal access, a laundry and a mud room. ● DIANA BAXTER AGENT \ Marshall White 9822 9999 PRICE \ $4.5 million – $4.95 million AUCTION \ August 26 at 11.30am Scan the code Take your lifestyle to Long Island without leaving the ’burbs

They make a perfect vista for the dining and living rooms, as well as the spacious family and meals area. Timber parquetry extends from this zone to the kitchen, while the rest of the house is newly carpeted. Upstairs, the main bedroom has an en suite, and four other bedrooms – one with a spiral staircase to the pool terrace – surround a large rumpus room and bathroom. Back downstairs, there is a quiet study and a corner bathroom convenient for outdoor activities. ● DIANA BAXTER

With nearly 50 years of memories for the departing family, this solid clinker-brick house is a treasure. While there are opportunities for a 2017 makeover, the structure and integrity of this residence, built in 1934, are evident. The main bedroom, with built-in wardrobes, has its own sunroom. Three more bedrooms are off the entry and passageway towards the front of the house.

A sitting room opens to a dining room, close to the open-plan kitchen and family/meals area with lovely garden views. The central bathroom slots in behind the kitchen, while another, modern, bathroom and laundry have been added at the back. ● DIANA BAXTER

Nestled north of Toorak Road, this smartly renovated threelevel house has inner beauty to match its creeper-clad good looks. The original 1930s living room, with sash windows and fireplace, now flows gracefully into the carpeted central dining room. Turn the corner to the marble kitchen, which has a 900-millimetre stainless-steel range and walk-in pantry.

A wall of white cupboards leads to the family area, radiant in timber below a conservatory ceiling; swing back the bifold door and head north to the bluestone terrace and pool, where privacy is assured by towering cypress hedges.

On the first floor, two double bedrooms share a bathroom, powder room and fitted study. The main bedroom has a walkin wardrobe and en suite. However, fashion archivists should nab the biggest bedroom, with three wardrobes, at the front.

With security, vast under-house storage and a basement tandem garage, it’s an elegant property that will appeal to school-aged families. Kooyong station is nearby. ● ALISON BARCLAY AGENT \ Kay & Burton 9820 1111 PRICE \ $2.5 million – $2.75 million AUCTION \ August 26 at noon Scan the code A family affair with hints of 1930s style and refinement

West of the Maling Road shops, Millswood rises in stately style. Built in 1890, the double-fronted belle has been so lovingly extended that bathrooms are heritage-style, the timber kitchen would make a Victorian swoon and two rear bay windows mimic the original at the front. Antique charm aside, the demands of a modern family are met here. With living and dining rooms and a big meals and family area opening to a garden with a north-east aspect, space and grace are just right. There are three bedrooms that open off the central hall, while the rear main bedroom has an en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. ● ALISON BARCLAY AGENT \ Marshall White 9822 9999 PRICE \ $3.2 million – $3.5 million AUCTION \ August 26 at 11.30am

This stylish house was built in the 1920s, but delivers contemporary living. The ’20s vibe remains, in keeping with the heritage-listed Gascoigne estate, but a significant renovation includes a new terracotta roof, wrought-iron restoration and an authentically transformed interior.

There are bay windows and fireplaces in the lounge and living rooms. In the main bedroom, a leadlight bay window looks over the Robert Boden-inspired gardens. The hallway glows under handcrafted Belgian pendant lights, offsetting American oak flooring.

The panelled white kitchen has Miele appliances and an island bench, while the dining room leads to the deck.

Further along is a laundry and the beautifully finished main bathroom, plus a secluded study and a second bedroom.

Stairs lead to a kids’ hideaway, shaped by the roofline, consisting of three bedrooms and a bathroom around a relaxing retreat. The gated driveway ends with a double garage and small studio. ● DIANA BAXTER AGENT \ Hodges 9598 1111 PRICE \ $4.4 million – $4.84 million AUCTION \ August 26 at 2pm Scan the code Architecturally authentic to its roots in a heritage estate

Offered for the first time in 40 years, the double-fronted house has four big bedrooms off a central hall, a stainless-steel kitchen and a modern living and dining area (with bay window) opening to the deck and garden. The house is unusually bright for its vintage, with full-length, double-hung windows at the front. Corniced ceilings and Baltic pine floorboards testify to a kindly restoration, and there’s scope for further transformation. ● ALISON BARCLAY AGENT \ Biggin & Scott 9520 9020 PRICE \ $2.4 million – $2.64 million AUCTION \ August 26 at 1pm
