1 MONTH. 3 POP-UPS. 24 LABELS. March was an incredible month for the AFC Curated program, and we'd like to take a moment to thank all the amazing individuals and businesses involved - we couldn't have done it without you! The past month saw 24 independent Australian labels showcase their ranges across three Melbourne retail spaces. Cheers to @VAMFF and @StCollinsLane for having us. To @HandpickedWines and @Goatbeer for livening up our launch nights. To @Square_au, @CheckpointSystems and @Lustr_Style for ensuring a seamless customer experience. To our amazing mentors and workshop hosts for volunteering their time and expertise. To each and every one of you who visited the Curated spaces. To the labels from across the country for coming together to be part of it all. Stay tuned and we look forward to seeing you at the next pop-up!

Meet Melbourne label @abch.world, by designer Courtney Holm.⠀ ⠀ “From fibre to finish, we offer full disclosure as to how every single item came to be, as well as, I guess, delving into each of those raw materials that go into making an item. So not just the fabric or the making of the item, but the buttons, the labels, the threads, the dyes, anything that is a part of that garment, even if you can't see it, like the interlining in a shirt. Things that, I guess, most people would take for granted. And ensure that each step in the process is as sustainable and socially responsible as is possible.”⠀ ⠀ Thanks to the support of @creative_vic and @noelsmythfilm - Director and Cinematographer, we have a series of micro documentaries, giving a little insight behind the scenes of our designers from the @afc_curated program... ⠀ ⠀ Want to know more?
