Melbourne Fashion Festival 2025
Something Blue - Runway and Exhibition
Silent Dove is proud to present Something Blue, an exclusive event and part of Melbourne Fashion Festival 2025. This collaboration celebrates the artistry of heirlooms and the enduring symbolism of family traditions, blending couture fashion and jewellery into an unforgettable experience.
Held at the Good Shepherd Chapel Gallery at Abbotsford Convent, Something Blue showcases the synergy between Silent Dove’s heirloom-inspired jewellery and Asher & Archer’s refined, custom-made designs. Drawing inspiration from the tradition of “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue,” the event honours the romance, heritage, and history woven into every piece.
The event begins with an intimate runway show featuring Silent Dove’s heirloom-inspired designs—crafted from premium materials such as lapis lazuli and freshwater pearls—alongside Asher & Archer’s bespoke creations. Following the show, attendees are invited to explore the collection up close at an exhibition that highlights the craftsmanship, storytelling, and sustainable values that define both brands.
Something Blue is a celebration of heritage, artistry, and symbolism, offering a thoughtful nod to weddings, heirlooms, and the stories that make each piece unique.
