"Beginning with a lunch hosted by Chandon during what was possibly the coldest, darkest two weeks of winter, we snuggled up at the cinema to enjoy a selection of inspiring films at the 2019 Melbourne International Film Festival. Dressed head to toe in Viktoria & Woods we were delighted by Quentin Tarantino's new film at the Astor Theatre, Once Upon A Time ... In Hollywood, finishing with a party at the Forum Theatre and lots of champagne."
