Mayor Dazza comes out of the closet

HE MIGHT make the odd faux pas on Twitter but Darryn Lyons takes shock and awe to a new level when it comes to fashion.
And now Australia’s most flamboyant mayor has thrown open the doors and drawers of his mind-boggling wardrobe for the new edition of GC Geelong Coast magazine.
Fur, leather, stripes, studs and every colour of the rainbow make for a fashion statement like no other over six glossy pages.
“I love my fashion but my biggest frustration is that Australia only has blue, black and grey suits,” he tells GC’s Noel Murphy.
“That’s just not me, I’ve got to get variation – it’s part of my life.”
But the mayor’s sense of style can comes at a hefty price.
“Some hand-made pieces are worth $20,000,” he admits.
The mayoral fashion spread is part of the story of the autumn edition of GC.
The region’s premier glossy lifestyle magazine is full of local people, places, issues and images.
From fashions to familiar faces, art, food, music and more, it’s all in GC.
Produced by the team at the Geelong Independent, GC is out now at all good local newsagents.
