Fashion collectors, archive obsessives and people who simply appreciate very, very nice things, this one’s for you.
For three days only, COLLECTED is taking over The Lobby by Ellison Studios in Prahran, bringing together an exceptional edit of archival fashion, vintage jewellery, rare books and objects of desire.
And when we say exceptional, we’re talking Phoebe Philo-era Céline, archival Prada and Tom Ford-era Gucci exceptional.
Yeah. We thought that might get your attention.
Consider This Your Chance To Get Up Close With Fashion History
Running from 24 to 26 July, COLLECTED brings together RELIK Editions, Selected Objects and Constantina Vintage, three names known for tracking down pieces with genuine cultural and aesthetic significance.
The result? A tightly curated collection of fashion, jewellery, books and rare finds that you don’t exactly stumble across on your average Saturday shop.
Expect what is billed as Australia’s largest collection of Phoebe Philo-era Céline, alongside archival Prada and Tom Ford-era Gucci. Modern-day grails from Khaite and The Row also make an appearance.
In other words, maybe don’t come expecting to “just have a quick look”.
We all know how that ends.
Vintage Jewellery, Sourced Straight From Paris
Beyond the rails, COLLECTED turns its attention to hand-sourced vintage jewellery discovered in Paris.
Each piece has been carefully selected and preserved over time, offering collectors and jewellery lovers the chance to discover pieces rarely seen outside private collections and specialist dealers.
Translation: your everyday jewellery stack may be about to get a little more interesting.
Rare Books You’ll Actually Want On Your Coffee Table
Then there are the books.
First-edition titles spanning fashion, art, photography and design round out the collection, with sought-after publications selected for their cultural significance and, let’s be real, impeccable shelf appeal.
These are the kinds of books you’ll buy for the archive and then strategically leave open when people come over.
No judgement here.
Three Days Only In Prahran
Housed inside the historic Conways Buildings in Prahran, The Lobby by Ellison Studios is playing host to COLLECTED for just three days.
Designed for serious collectors, fashion enthusiasts and the simply curious, the showcase is a rare opportunity to see, and purchase, pieces that are typically tucked away in private collections or handled by specialist dealers.
No velvet ropes. No museum glass.
Just some seriously covetable fashion, jewellery and design within reach.
