RMIT fashion students have transformed Town Hall Station into a catwalk with five futuristic looks inspired by the Metro Tunnel.
With the Metro Tunnel opening and Melbourne Fashion Week approaching, Town Hall Station became the backdrop for a celebration of design, movement and Melbourne’s future.
Inspired by the theme Future Commuter, the five student-designed outfits reflect the bold architecture and vibrant colour palette of the Metro Tunnel’s five brand new state-of-the-art stations. Each look captures the energy and style of tomorrow’s Melbourne, blending the practical needs of commuters with cutting-edge design.

The collaboration also nods to Flagstaff Fashions, a 1985 fashion show held inside the then-new Flagstaff Station as part of the recently built City Loop. Forty years later, the Metro Tunnel has reignited that tradition, blending fashion and transport once again beneath Melbourne’s streets.
Metro Tunnel will completely transform how students and commuters move around the city. State Library Station will connect directly to RMIT, while Parkville Station will link the University of Melbourne to the rail network for the first time.
The project marks the biggest transformation of Victoria’s public transport network in more than 40 years, freeing up the City Loop to run more trains, more often, across more lines. Opening a full year ahead of schedule, it’s set to reshape how Melburnians navigate their city.
