Spring Fashion Runway Backstage, 22nd Aug 2013 @ Malvern Town Hall.

  "The City of Stonnington’s Spring Fashion Runway celebrated the area’s talented designers and renowned fashion houses, while unveiling the latest catwalk trends"

On the 22nd of August, I volunteered to work backstage at the Spring Fashion Runway 2013 at Malvern Town Hall, showcasing the up-coming key colours, styles and trends for the season, dedicated to three distinct design streams: Urban, Spring Racing and Couture. The garments were all impressive to say the least, showing fine designer construction and quality. All of which were from reputable and renowned Australian designers; labels and names at the show featured: Trelise Cooper, Jack London, Alannah Hill, Wayne Cooper, Roy Christou of Honor Among Thieves and Nicole Williams from Nicolangëla, to list a few.

The model I was assigned to dress was Paris Roberts, whom was absolutely lovely and a pleasure to work with, not to mention also a lot of fun! (he he)

I had a lengthy chat with the great Gregory Ladner, he is a wealth of knowledge and experience, not to mention a font of wisdom; having been in the fashion industry for over 25 years. He started as a couturier, and is now known for his accessories, that can be bought in department stores such as Myer and David Jones.
