Holy fashions<\/p>\n

Melbourne is the centre of fashion during Spring Fashion Week which runs September 1 \u2013 6. Parades galore, exhibitions and this year Collins Street Baptist Church is the base for Fashion for the Soul.\u00a0 They didn’t have this sort of thing when I attended Sunday School.\u00a0 A good enough reason, for those amongst us who have wandered somewhat,\u00a0 to again grace the doors of the beautiful old church in the heart of Melbourne. I wonder whether the local parson knows this is all a part of Melbourne Spring fashion fever,- horse racing and all.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For more info go to www.visitvictoria.com<\/a>\u00a0
