Australia’s only curated, boutique trade event committed to groundbreaking design, showcases stylish products and incredible talent spread across over 600 known and loved Australian brands. Returning to Melbourne, is The Conversation Series - workshops and panel discussions led by industry experts offering invaluable advice on everything from social media, visual representation, brand innovation, laws and regulations as well as in-store and visual merchandising.
This year’s theme of “Return to the Source”, delves deep into the origins of where products came from and how they were produced with emphasis on their raw form. The event highlights the significance of context when it comes to the items we use in our everyday lives and the greater impact it leaves on society. This concept aims to connect retailers through the insight provided into the creative process of products by the suppliers themselves. Every piece of work has been painstakingly perfected to that designer’s standard of quality, and the story of creation to consumption is integral to understanding the context of a product in relation to its target market.
At the heart of Life Instyle, the event sets out to embrace different stages in the design process market, analysing be at the forefront of leading trends whilst celebrating a brand’s unique and fashionable flair.
