An evening of glitz, glamour and autumnal tones – be inspired by our staff’s style at the annual David Jones Gala Runway.
The star-studded David Jones Gala Runway took centre stage last night to kick off the 2022 Melbourne Fashion Festival – a highly-anticipated 10-day event celebrating the best in international and Australian fashion. Held at the iconic Queen Victoria Markets, the Gala Runway show premiered the new David Jones Autumn/Winter season – ‘Wonderworld’. The glamorous looks weren’t just reserved for the runway, however – our David Jones team rose to the occasion with elevated outfits that celebrated four key seasonal trends: bold optimism, joyful expression, garden party and nostalgia. Explore their runway-worthy looks below.

“This season I am investing in a hardworking wardrobe capsule. From the oversized wear-with-everything blazer to the LBD with a cut-out twist, perfectly fit jeans, chunky winter boot and timeless gold jewellery.”

“The ’90s and 2000s are back, baby! Nostalgic feelings are high seeing all of the man-style trousers and vest sets coming through (we’ve got some beautiful tailoring to come). I’m also loving the return to sexy dressing with subtle cut-outs and jersey twists making their way into date-night wardrobes.”
