FAQs

I'm a photographer, can I shoot your show?.

While any member of the audience can bring a camera, we have our own photographers who we have worked with over the years and they are generally given preference as the space for photographers is limited. Photographers shooting for articles, or who can publicise the event should contact us beforehand, you are most welcome. We have some space for alternative/goth photographers who may want to come along for the experience.

Is this a goth fashion show?

Circa Nocturna is an Alternative fashion show, it includes fashion from subcultures, such as the goth community, as well as other alternative fashion. 

What's the relationship between Circa Nocturna:Melbourne Alternative Fashion Show  and Nocturnal Instincts?

Nocturnal Instincts was the show from which Circa Nocturna originated. Some of the team worked on the original Nocturnal Instincts. Nocturnal Instincts was more club orientated, and probably more goth orientated than CN:MAFS is, apart from that they are quite similiar in concept.

How is it financed?

The chief organisers finance it from their own pocket, with some minor help from sponsors and admission charges from the designers.

Do you use professional models?

Please go to the designer application page, there is a lot of documentation there.
