There was a time I almost walked away from all of this.From the pressure.From the weight of carrying something which has always meant so much to me.But Grandma Funk was never just fashion…It began long before the runway.In quiet moments, creating with my grandmother.Reworking pieces, imagining worlds, finding myself through it all.And somehow…that little spark grew into this.A world.A movement.A space where women step into themselves.This isn’t just what I do.This is who I am.And I didn’t come back the same.Reborn on the runway. by @melchac_

RIVIERA PROTOCOLDocklands becomes the Riviera. Where power dresses in silence… and luxury moves without permission.Aboard Sophia Elite Super yacht, we didn’t just shoot a campaign —we created a world where every glance is a negotiation, every detail… intentional.This is not content.This is Bond-level storytelling.For brands who don’t follow trends —they own the room before they enter it.🎬 Shot on Sophia Elite Super yacht | Docklands🍸 A cinematic collaboration of fashion, power, and presence.

This is why you will never hear me speak ill of others…even when I know what’s been said behind closed doorsor the tactics used to discredit me.WHY would I?I’m too busy building legacy, creating impact & staying aligned with people who move with integrity. 👑✨👑I don’t participate in circus behaviour,let alone entertain mediocrity.Behind every vision are long nights, sacrifices, pressure, lessons, faith… and a mission bigger than self.We build.We evolve.And we bring our aligned people with us. Still here.Still creating.Still anchored in purpose.A little behind on posting lately…so here’s a glimpse of some recent moments, BTS & projects I’ll be catching up on sharing over the weekend. ✨👑🤍🪄🧸 by @melchac_

My beautiful Mel ❤️Looking back through all these memories makes me realise just how lucky I am to have had you in my life for so many years.We’ve shared decades of friendship, fashion, laughter, adventures, celebrations, tears, and countless unforgettable moments together. From meeting on the runway all those years ago, I knew there was something special about you. Your beautiful soul, infectious energy, and radiant smile have always been a light in my life.You have always had this incredible ability to lift people up, make everyone feel included, and bring joy wherever you go. I have always admired your passion, your strength, and your ability to keep moving forward no matter what life throws your way.One of my favourite things has always been hearing you call me your “Fashion Mamma.” It has always made me smile because I know the special bond we’ve built over the years.We’ve been there for each other through the good times and the difficult ones, and through it all our friendship we have always found a way to stay strong, supportive and positive! Thank you for the memories, the laughs, the fashion shows, the conversations, the support, and most importantly, your friendship. You have brought so much happiness into my life, and I am grateful for every moment we’ve shared.I love you dearly, Mel, and I wish you nothing but happiness, love, success, and every beautiful thing your heart desires. I am so proud of the woman you are and all that you continue to achieve.Forever your Fashion Mamma. ❤️✨Margarite 💋💋💋💋#gratitude #birthdaygirl #friendship #fashionista #blessed by @melchac_

Happiest Birthday to my fellow Gemini ♊️ sis, @jazminburke .I love you so much, and no words can truly express how proud I am of you. You are fiery, funny, fiercely loyal, and have the intelligence to match. Thank you for always being my show-stopping final look on the runway and for having my back from day one. We’ve answered each other’s calls, supported one another through it all, and shared so many incredible moments along the way.I’ve had the privilege of watching you grow into the remarkable woman you are today lifting up other women while gracefully juggling so much of your own.I hope today is a reminder of just how loved, admired, and appreciated you are. Never forget you are an unstoppable phoenix 🐦‍🔥 with the heart of an angel.Love you always my Gemini sis 🤍✨💗♊️• @anna_james_media_and_co @barbambi_melbourne @melchac_ by @melchac_
