Who was Lillian Frank?

Lillian Frank was born in Myanmar. In the 1950s, Lillian Frank moved to Melbourne and opened a hair salon in Toorak. She also became quite involved in the social life of the city. When the English model donned a white mini dress at the Melbourne races in 1965, she was Jean Shrimpton’s hairstylist. When the model exceeded expectations and wore a mini dress to the Melbourne Spring Carnival in the 1960s, Lillian Frank arranged her hair. For many years Ms Frank continued to judge the fashion competitions during the Melbourne racing season.

As a tribute to Melbourne socialite, the Victoria Racing Club (VRC), she highlighted her impact on Melbourne Cup fashion. She even served as a longtime judge of Myer Fashions on the Field. PRC chairman Neil Wilson said Lillian left an indelible mark on the Melbourne Cup Carnival, which she attended almost every year for 50 years. The chairman added that her impeccable sense of style and vibrant personality have helped elevate the VRC’s Fashions on the Field competition to one of the most popular and prestigious outdoor fashion events in Australia, if not the world.
