PREDICTING THE FUTURE OF FASHION

WHO DECIDED WHAT WE WEAR

Sue Dixon predicts the future. No she's not an astrologer or weather forecaster. She's much more sought after than people in either of those two groups. The pearls of wisdom (or maybe this year they'll be diamantes) that slip from her lips are collected by devotees of fashion because Sue is managing director of Retail Enterprise developments and her company is the exclusive agent to the Paris Based trend forecasting agency Peclars Paris.

Sue is in Melbourne to take part in a panel who will discuss the fashion forecasting at a breakfast tomorrow morning. On the panel with her are Melma Hamersfeld, founder and director of Metalicus and Michael Angel, fashion stylist.

This breakfast is part of that industry's Fashion Exposed trade exhibition at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre this coming week. The exhibition is not open to the public .

It will be fascinating to talk to Sue about how fashion direction is planned or directed.

CELEBRITY CHECK UP
VAL JELLAY 

Val Jellay is surely Australia's consummate variety performer.  She made her stage debut at only four years of age. Her teenage years were spent performing twelve shows a week on the famous Tivoli Vaudeville circuit, both as a featured dancer and comedy partner to such famous names as George Wallace, Jim Gerald, and Roy Rene (Mo). She toured Australia and New Zealand with the Tivoli, which was the biggest show of the time.
Val then spent three years performing in England, Ireland, Germany, Malta, Austria and Italy, working with show business heavyweights like Max Miller, Joyce Grenfell, Ronnie Ronald and the legendary Laurel and Hardy. On her return to Australia, Val produced shows for Sorlie's Revue Company, during which time she met and later married Australian comedy icon, Maurie Fields.
 Val's first television job lasted seven years in the variety show, Sunnyside Up. She also enjoyed roles in The Sullivans, Homicide, Division Four, Cop Shop, Matlock, Carson's Law, Prisoner, and Solo One, culminating in an eight year run in the Crawfords series, The Flying Doctors, as one of the lead actors. Recently, she appeared in an extended guest role on the hit show, Neighbours, opposite Bud Tingwell.

After a wealth of corporate appearances with husband, Maurie, where they were billed as Australia's King and Queen of Vaudeville, Val is now enjoying a successful solo career as a guest speaker/performer, offering songs, inspired humour, and showbiz anecdotes regarding the legends she knew so well. Val is also the author of three best selling books, a regular movie reviewer on G.M.A, and a well known voice in many current radio ads. Val returned to theatre, playing a featured role in the Broadway musical, Crazy For You, on it's Australian tour. She followed that with a moving portrayal of Hattie, the "Broadway baby" in Sondheim's Follies. Most recently she starred in Cole Porter's Anything Goes at the State Theatre in Melbourne. The highlight of her extraordinary career was being honoured in a recent episode of This Is Your Life.
