Gatsby fever well and truly has Melbourne in its grip! At the height of the Jazz-age celebrations in April was the launch of Vivian Ashworth‘s salon at 109 Greville Street, Prahran. The event was a bustling, fizz-popping affair at Vivian’s luxe new premises, featuring armfuls of flowers, hot jazz from chanteuse Hetty Kate and more fascinators than a day at the Birdcage.
