With Valentines Day around the corner, romantics from Moonee Ponds are already getting in the mood.
A giant pink and red arch has been installed inside Puckle St Mall to celebrate the month of love.
The arch has been made from thousands of pieces of fabric and will be staying at the mall until February 14.
It will then be turned rainbow for the rest of the month to celebrate all different kinds of love.
Designer Jasmine Holmes said the pink fabric in the arch was designed to resemble flowers.
“An arch is something you would pose under to confess your love to a person,” she said.
“We wanted to create a matching piece being the big love letters because sometimes it really needs to be spelt out.”

The 30-year-old, who has been a designer for over 11 years, said she hoped the message reminded people that everyone is deserving of love.
“At the end of the day if you have someone to love – whether that’s a person, a pet, or yourself – that’s all that matters,” Ms Holmes said.
The designer said she would be spending Valentine’s Day with her fiance Rohan, who are about to celebrate their eight year anniversary.
“He was my primary school sweetheart, I’ve known him since I was eight to nine years old,” Ms Holmes said.
“He is my absolute rock and I would not change anything.”
