The Glamour Game is a new DVD that has come into the Learning Centre and is now available for loan.

This two-part documentary is a revealing and entertaining look at the changing face of beauty and fashion in Australia, focusing on the beloved beauty pageant and the exciting face pace world of the fashion parade. By exploring the dazzling history of the Miss Australia Quest and the emergence of our vibrant fashion industry, The Glamour Game, details how Australia has moved from its colonial past, to a strong and distinctive national identity.

Beauty pageants are back and the mother of them all was the original Miss Australia Quest. This episode features interviews with former Miss Australia's, from the 1927 winner, to the most remembered -Tania Verstak, who caused a controversy for being the first Non-Anglo Australian to be awarded the coveted title.

Episode Two - The Parade
The Parade is a colourful and stylish look at fashion in Australia, from the arrival of Dior's "new look" to today. What was once considered second rate, Australian fashion is now heralded on the world stage with a new breed of cutting edge designers. The Parade uses archived footage of Australian designers and fashion of yesterday whilst documenting the journey of four young design students as they prepare to debut their individual collections at the prestigious International Fashion Week in Sydney.

PROJECT PORTFOLIO

• Behind the scenes Decorative fretwork and finials retain the traditional character of this villa - but the new extension is an exercise in modern simplicity
• Urban update This vertical extension to a workers' cottage has created a light-filled family living area and reinvented the traditional back yard
• Far pavilions A series of additional wings increased the size of this home and made better use of the site, lakeside location and mountain views
• Just like you imagined Take one small, single-level terrace house, gut the interior and extend out the rear and you have a recipe for modern living
• Change of heart The classic facade of this stately residence offers little indication of the total transformation of the interiors and rear of the home
• The sum of its parts More than remodelling an outdated house, this renovation project was an exercise in creating integral relationships
• Moving with the times In renovating this century-old house, the architects retained its traditional character, but created an interior better suited to modern life

INTERIOR MAKEOVERS

• Country chic This renovation of a 1930s stucco cottage has opened up the interior to provide a spacious, character-filled home
• Refined outlook Close attention to materials, finishes and textures has transformed this apartment without the need for major structural changes
• A backward glance This converted barn has become a chronicle of its past, as well as providing a contemporary lifestyle
• Art of glass In this renovated Victorian row house, a double-height Mondrianesque window transforms the rambling garden into a living work of art

RENOVATED KITCHENS

• Warm hearted This sleek, semi-formal kitchen renovation sees spaces reconfigured, bringing light and views to the heart of the home
• Widening the horizon Incorporating a corridor into this small kitchen not only makes it look spacious, but also creates good storage opportunities
• If you can't stand the heat Don't panic! Our experts are on hand to ensure your kitchen project doesn't end up half-baked

REJUVENATED BATHROOMS

• On the edge of white Shades of white keep this bathroom looking clean and light without being sterile, while the darker floor helps anchor the design
• Japanese flavour This bathroom was renovated to unify it with the Asian-style courtyard it overlooks
• Five-star service Whichever way you look, the design of this master suite provides a visual treat
• Sit back, relax Transforming your bathroom project from idea to reality is as simple as talking to one of our experts in the field
