Concrete Playground

It's time to sharpen your jabbing elbows, the Big Fashion Sale is back. All of your discount fashion dreams are about to come true, even the ones you've never had! Prepare for rack upon rack of reduced designer threads including seconds, samples, excess stock and vintage from the best Australian labels. Both men and women will be catered for with oodles of accessories, swimwear and shoes as well.

Representing will be Marnie Skillings, Rittenhouse, Jemma Jube and about a large room full of other local stars and up-and-comers. The mayhem officially starts on March 4, but we suggest you go early because by Saturday evening the only things left will be the mystery garments that you don't know whether to put on your nose or on your toes. Better yet, you can sneaky sneak in a day early by registering online for the V.I.P. night, where you can fight it out to the death with the fierce and fiercely stylish. (While we don't condone violence, a switchblade might be handy purely for intimidation purposes.)

Oh, I forgot to mention the financial crisis argument. Here it is: Financial crisis + can't afford stuff = go to this instead!
