Melbourne Malarkey

Following on from the ‘Magazine Houses’ discussion about Australian design, I’ve just purchased my copy of the first eva Melbourne Design Guide. Three Thousand describes it as… “Covering built design, product design, fashion design, graphic design, craft, arts, food and nightlife, festivals and events, tours, day trips. The guide is not only comprehensive but also easy to navigate. Editors Ewan McEoin and Viviane Stappmans have worked with lab.3000 and Studio Round to create something that Melbourne is in need of – actual proof to ‘outsiders’ that the city is Australia’s creative capital.” No in built lack of confidence there then. Hurrah!
