STYLEAID, that fashion fundraiser that supports the work of the WA AIDS Council show showcased the best of Western Australia’s fashion industry at a gala presentation last night.
Over the last 17 years the event has raised more than 1.1 million dollars to support programs at the WA AIDS council.
Guests were treated to catwalk presentations from designers including Zhivago, 33 Poets, One Fell Swoop, Zsadar and Ae’lkemi.
The Western Australian Ballet delivered the opening number, while performance artists Strykermeyer and Ash Baroque performed as part of the showcase from Rebecca Patterson’s label 33 Poets.
Carmelo Pizzino and Alana Patience from television’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ hosted the evening, with Patience wearing a shimmering gold dress.
Spotted among the hundreds of attendees was Court Hotel owner Bree Maddox, Cricketer Adam Gilchrist and his wife Mel, actress Courtney Eaton, Greta Scacchi and her daughter Leila George – who are both in rehearsals with Black Swan Theatre Company, and designers Aurelio Costarella, Shane Newton and Alvin Fernandez.
The style statements weren’t just confined to the catwalk, with many of the attendees at the event taking the opportunity to show their personal sense of style.
