STM fashion issue for Perth Fashion Festival 2009

Posted by on Aug 30, 2009 in 2009, Perth Fashion Festival

Did you manage to get a copy of Sunday Times this morning? If not, you’d better hurry. Today’s issue includes a Fashion Issue of STM which was all about Perth Fashion Festival 2009. I have to thank Teagan Swell for reminding me of this. As I never read papers or watch TV so I do miss out on seemingly obvious news sometimes. Luckily, not this time.

The magazine was better than I hoped for. Is it to due to the fact that people are already talking about Perth getting out of the so called economic downturn? I don’t know if we actually had any to be honest. With Emily Catthermole on the cover, I found pages on who’s who of the Festival (maybe I could be listed in there next year? hmm haha) , an interesting analysis on the Festival and its future, an article on Ruth Tarvydas and the WA Fashion Awards write-up with a nice picture of the ‘trophy’ designed by Kailis. On a moment like this I’m very proud to be a West Australian. Perth is not a big city but we have so many talents and there are a lot of exciting labels – not mass produced and more often than not locally produced. Essentially that’s what makes up Style Discovery. That’s exactly why I was so buy yesterday attending three different fashion events in support of local talent. I hope you enjoy the festival. I’m sure I will.

Kailis designed ‘trophy’ is like a dog-tag isn’t it? No regular dog-tag though. White gold and mother of pearl panel make it very special. Some of them will also have black diamond I hear.

If you haven’t got a calendar then head over to the official website. PFF officials have finally updated the program to include the only the calendar.

By the way, Teagan was the project manager for Transformation – Fremantle High Street Collective from last year. High St. Collective has become, I hear, Fremantle Collective to include the wider fashion community in Fero. She is also managing the VIP Fashion Show as part of PFF 09. I met her in person finally last night at the Fashion WA Launch. You’ll get to see her soon in the launch post.. very soon.
