Ah… Perth Fashion Festival. Good for fashion. Good for gossip. Which designer was heard overheard saying of a certain high profile person that ‘Darling, unfortunately we neeeeeeeeed people like that’? Ouch. That’d hurt… if the high profile person knew about it.
But PFF wasn’t all bad. The new venue, in fact, was amazing. So much so it’s really put PFF on the map. Fashion Paramount was a particularly amazing experience, and hats go off to everyone who helped make it into the most unbelievable experience possible.
Of course, fashion events come with exclusivity, something everyone tries to rock out in style. Unfortunately, one young chap tried to rock it out a little too hard when caught in a line to gain entry to a PFF venue. One organiser walked pass and the chap tried to charm his way in. Said organiser just exclaimed ‘Sorry, I don’t know who you are.’. As if that wasn’t bad enough, young chap tried the exact same charm on a second organiser… only to be given the exact same answer. Snickers were apparently big that night in that line.
