PERTH FASHION FESTIVAL REVS UP FOR SEPTEMBER SHOWS

KEE@FSWMAG.COM

THE PERTH FASHION FESTIVAL FROM 19 TO 25 SEPTEMBER PROMISES TO BE ANOTHER SIZZLER DOWN UNDER AND I MEAN AUSTRALIA AND NOT YOUR GROIN AS I BET SOME OF MY HORNY READERS ARE COGITATING.

ANYWAY THE FIRST SALVO HAS BEEN FIRED AS THE ORGANISERS HAVE JUST ANNOUNCED AN ALLIANCE FOR THE 2012 CAMPAIGN SHOOT.

I was there last year and must say it was one of the best fashion weeks I have attended. Trust me, I HAVE attended heaps of them! The hospitality still lingers to this very second. The shows were outstanding and there was nary a kangaroo pelt or wombat coat in sight. The pre and after parties were a riot and I was tipsy every night fueled by champagne. And of course Perth is a fabulous city worth a vist anytime, with or without Perth Fashion Festival which is NOT to be confused with Perth Fashion Week! 

Below are the details for all you fashionistas planning a sojourn to WA.

PERTH FASHION FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES TEAM FOR 2012 CAMPAIGN SHOOT
Michelle Jank, one of Australia’s most talented stylists has teamed up with an incredible cast of talent including
Pierre Toussaint, renowned fashion photographer, make-up artist, Nicole Thompson, and hair director to the
stars, Brad Ngata for L’Oreal Professionnel to deliver PFF’s 2012 campaign, featuring a unique combination of fresh bold colour with a sophisticated edge.


The creative campaign shoot also revealed this year’s Festival Face for 2012, Nicole Pollard, who provided the
perfect canvas for some of WA’s most exciting established and up-and-coming fashion design talent including
Ellery, Costarella, Morrison, Ae’lkemi, Ange Lang, Zhivago, Poppy Lissiman and Reny Kestel Millinery.


Commenting on the Face of 2012, PFF Director Mariella Harvey-Hanrahan said: “Nicole’s cool, individual edge
epitomises the look of the moment and she is the ideal fit to work with our super-talented creative team and front
this year’s PFF campaign.”


“Attracting a tremendous level of national and international industry attention, Nicole is the perfect Face to take
PFF to new heights in 2012 and as one of Chic Management’s most in-demand models, it is great to have the
opportunity to work with a model who is destined to be Australia’s next international superstar!” Ms Harvey-
Hanrahan added.


“We are always looking to build on the Festival’s past successes by building the brand both nationally and
internationally to provide WA’s designers with an entry into new and exciting markets,” Ms Harvey-Hanrahan
said.


Michelle Jank, creative consultant and a proud Western Australian acknowledged the exciting opportunities
available to the State’s creative industry.


“I believe there is something really special that comes from the isolation of growing up in Perth. It teaches one to
be resourceful and to strive for your dreams. I am always proud to hear of Western Australians’ successes and I
think it’s important for Western Australians in the industry to support each other,” Ms Jank said.


"I am honoured and delighted to be working on this year’s Perth Fashion Festival creative campaign. It is a
wonderful opportunity to promote the best of Western Australian design.”


Perth Fashion Festival is supported by the State Government through Eventscorp, the Department of Culture
and the Arts and the City of Perth.


The 2012 campaign images and further information on PFF 2012 program of events will be unveiled in coming
weeks.
