If you’re a bloke, you’ve most likely experienced fashion pop-ups by carrying someone’s handbag around. Courtney Holm would like to change that. In April, the fashion designer held the first edition of Menske, a quarterly fashion and lifestyle event series which (almost) caters for a man’s every need. It’s happening again this weekend.

Want some nice, new threads? Menske’s got it. Jewellery, wallets, skincare products? Furniture or light fittings, accessories for your bike, a haircut? Tick, tick, tick. It’s all courtesy of local artists and designers who’ll be selling their unique wares in person.

Some products to look out for are loose, twisting silhouettes by fashion label tanner + Teague, geometric light fittings in warm metallics by Ben-Tovim Design, custom motorcycles by Leon Mckay, leather accessories by Hecho a Mano Co and Footscray-made utility wear by Kevin.
