As the vibe in Melbourne (Australia) starts to rise like the temperature, we are forecast to bear witness to the hottest spot in streetwear to drop in the Asia Pacific region. The Buffet trade expo is aligning itself with some of the best international and local brands to nourish and flourish the culture we’d love to be bigger and better than it is. Guest speaker, high-end fashion innovator and design pioneer jeffstaple (stapledesign.com) will be headlining the show speaking at two forums about ‘Buisness in Street Fashion’ and ‘Contemporary Art in Fashion.’
