The holographic fashion show was shot in Sydney at The Front Studios in Redfern with renowned Australian stylist Kate Gaskin. Gaskin translated key-looks from Melbourne Central retailers and well-known Australian faces such as MTV presenter Kate Peck and Corbin Harris. Female DJ duo The Faders made special guest appearances throughout the show. It was created in partnership with T7 Events and Fusion Technology.

 

Enigma created the state-of-the-art virtual show to launch the GPT Group’s digital campaign for its leading Australian shopping destination Melbourne Central. The campaign includes a new Smartphone app.
