It was a madhouse of baby animals, acrobats, musicians and models this morning at the Claremont Showgrounds in Perth, Western Australia, as Style Palace partnered with the Royal Agricultural Society and Australian Wool Innovation to launch the 2010 Smokefree Perth Royal Show.
Darlene Gianoli, Founder and Director of Style Palace, took to the microphone as MC and Style Palace provided a sneak preview of the fashion parades that will take place daily at this year’s Royal Show. The parades are a collaboration between Style Palace and Australian Wool Innovation to showcase the best of Australia’s natural fibres including wool, cotton and silk.
At the media launch five models from the Star Factory were styled in wool and natural fibres from some of Style Palace’s most popular Australian designers including Camilla, Viktoria and Woods and Jessie Hill. The preview included swimwear from White Sands and a fantastic selection of shawls, scarfs and jumpers from Pit Willow Alpacas. Jewellery and accessories were from Samantha Will and Luxe Accessories.
Whilst the media launch provided the opportunity to get fun and playful, the parades at the 2010 Smokefree Perth Royal Show will highlight how natural fibres such as wool can be used to make the transition from winter through to the summer months. This can be achieved by layering finer garments in the cooler months and enjoying lighter fabrics such as cotton when the sun starts to shine.
The parades will showcase many popular designers from Style Palace, as well as designers from the Australian Wool Innovation Woolmark Wardrobe including Friedrich Gray, Romance was Born and Therese Rawsthorne. This is in addition to woollen items from Pit Willow Alpacas and a bridal gown from Sapphire Bridal.
Style Palace is committed to supporting Australian designers and the 2010 Smokefree Perth Royal Show provides a great opportunity to extend this support to encompass the local agricultural industry and their fabrics.
