Style After Dark - Returns in Autumn

Thursdays 5.30 – 9.30pm
Autumn season: 4 March – 15 April (excluding 8 April)
Spring season: 23 September – 28 October

Style After Dark's spring season confirmed a direction. It will now return in autumn (March-April) for another season.

The night market is continuing to evolve. Next season will see it being consolidated closer to the food vendors and cool cafes along Cecil Street. The off season is being used to recruit young and independent clothing designers.

Style After Dark is a vibrant expression of local clothing designers. Stalls emphasise locally-designed, locally-made, vintage and collectible clothing and all things associated with it – accessories, jewellery, and headwear. Original artworks, photography, homewares and children’s clothing and accessories are on offer.

With the Cecil Street cafés and restaurants open for business, night shoppers can savour the aromas of curb side Paella, Italian and Asian cuisine’s as they browse the booths. The street comes alive with a selection of international foods and a bar showcasing Swords Wines and micro brewery. The atmosphere is relaxed. Chill and listen to live music from local bands and performers.

The unique fusion of fashion and food, catering to the new generation market goer, makes South Melbourne Market’s Style After Dark a dynamic fixture on your fashion event calendar - in spring and autumn.

 After 142 years loyal service, the South Melbourne Market has turned to the dark side.
Style After Dark, a cutting-edge showcase of the best in locally designed clothing and accessories, spearheads the first night fixture in the market’s esteemed history, its unique fusion of fashion and food catering to a new generation of market-goers.

The undercover stalls offer vintage and collectable garb, as well as innovative creations from the Melbourne School of Fashion. With Cecil Street’s abundance of cafes and restaurants open for business, night shoppers can savour the aroma of good coffee and curbside paella as they browse the booths; an authentic Melbourne soundtrack provided by live acts including She Said Yes, Mandy Kane and Johnnie and the Johnnie Johnnies.

And rest assured: the market’s most famous fare – the humble and delectable
South Melbourne dim sim – has too become nocturnal, no doubt the perfect gastronomical fillip for any unwelcome autumn chills.
