WA Fashion Awards for Perth Fashion Festival 2009
WA Fashion Awards night at Burswood Ballroom officially marks the end of the Perth Fashion Festival. 7 days of fashion has sadly ended. Before I can go on thinking about going back to my regular routine (going to work etc) I thought I should share with you what the night was like as I was ...
