My feeling towards Melbourne when I think of it, is that it is lively. Truly how we are ‘the world’s most liveable city’, and its vibrancy and how this essence is captured in our cultural style. We enjoy the idea of being constantly surveyed for how we perceive ourselves. Strangers of the city are paparazzi, their eyes flashing and capturing the identity. Yet our apparent apathy to this witnessing of style is what is deemed as fashionable. We are aware of our surroundings and of others, yet don’t want to seem as if we do.
Ultimately, this is Melbourne, the people who make up this city are Melbourne. And they own it.
