The event that was truly ‘the’ special moment over Perth’s Fashion Festival was the WA Designer Collections, because as the title said it was about our WA designers and stylishly executed.
Industry heavyweights were there to celebrate WA fashion. This year the event took a new approach and was backed by the Department of Culture and the Arts and project managed by Event Gallery. I felt I was at Rosemount’s Fashion Week not at the Convention Centre Perth.
The event was shown in two parts with new designers taking the catwalk first.
