Perth Fashion Festival 2010 Launch Party and some fashion news

Perth Fashion Festival 2010 was officially launched tonight with the launch of Russell James’ book V2. Personally, I don’t know who he is but his photos were fantastic and provided a great atmosphere to Fashion Bar. City of Perth kindly donated the Wellington street CPP car park (instead of using one on Pier Street). That [...]

Touch of Wool III – Emily Cattermole spotted

I always like to see Touch of Wool – fashion parade funded and organised by Curtin University and DAFWA. This time around the WA Fine Wool Association got involved and the designers produced some fantastic garments using wool. This stunning blue dress Emily Cattermole is wearing proves the point. It’s so fine that you can [...]

Finale – Perth Fashion Festival 2008

There was really no official finale as such. I believe there was an after-party on Friday after the awards ceremony but I had to give it a miss as I wanted to leave early to download pictures and deliver the news to you (along with all other reasons) that night. As a newbie blogger it [...]

Day 6 Perth Fashion Festival – 2008 Western Australian Designer Collections

Day 6 Perth Fashion Festival – 2008 Western Australian Designer Collections

I was surprised to find out that it was the first time in 10 year history of PFF to have WA designer collection shows. As you have witnessed in my recent posts the festival kicked off by major retail brands and continued with more ‘shop’ designs barring the student design show. I would have thought [...]

Day 5 Perth Fashion Festival – 2008 Student Fashion Award

Day 5 Perth Fashion Festival – 2008 Student Fashion Award

The shows I attended during the festival so far have been very commercial and they were all organised by retail companies. Certainly I haven’t shown you any creative work. I am guilty of hoarding these images for good three days. Mercedes Benz WA Student Fashion Award showcased interesting designs by aspiring student designers in four [...]

Swim suits, bikinis and more swim suits. You thought you had enough of them by now. As we are heading into summer the festival featured a lot of swim wear especially for women. You can see plenty of bikini girls from my posts

Some *lucky* Fashionistas with a big budget are going to be happy about this. Style Palace is a new online store with some fabulous Australian designer collections.

Day 2 of the Perth Fashion Festival 2008- VIP Launch

OK, I wasn’t invited for this show. It was only for VIPs after all. I think I would have enjoyed it but I do think I would have felt like an ‘alien’. That was how I felt last night at the Style Palace launch anyway. I was totally uncomfortable amongst glitzy and seemingly glamorous people. [...]

Day 1 of the Perth Fashion Festival 2008– Street and beach fashion

Day 1 of the Perth Fashion Festival 2008– Street and beach fashion

The marquis in the city centre across from the train station was quite majestic. Nestled between the city hall and the Forrest Chase (Myers Department store and other boutiques), it looked rather deserted when I turned up just before 7 pm on September 3. With the official media pass around my neck I walked into [...]
