Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane 2011 wrap party

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane 2011 – Wrap party

The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane 2011 wrap party started immediately after the highlights parade. We were ushered into the QPAC pavillion where staff greeted us with champagne and a suite of Sanpellegrino beverages.

The vast blue stage was soon filled with energetic and nimble dancers who performed tirelessly the entire evening. Canapes resembled art with their shapes and colours and I’m told they were all very delicious.

Funky mobiles decorated the space above the guests, and on  closer inspection I realised they were constructed of wooden hangers and swing tags from designers who took part in Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane this year.

Stylish Brisbanites gathered for a night of all nights to celebrate an end to yet another successful run of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival in Brisbane.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane 2011 – Highlights Parade

The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane highlights parade was held on Friday 26th August and marked the end of a week long fashion festival. Designers featured included Akira, Easton Pearson, Paul Hunt, Foxton Danger, Daniel Alexander Couture, Gina Kim, Francis Leon, Sacha Drake, Aurelio Costarella, Roopa Pemmaraju and many more.

There were bursts of vibrant colour and lively pattern in-between soothing tones and flowing fabrics. Styling was well executed, the focus remaining on garments at all times. Shoes were the hero in this story, often adding a subtle edge to simpler outfits and bringing a modern twist to elegant pieces.

Catwalk and lighting designs were kept simple, which was probably the best option for a group show like this one. It was the garment, hair, make up and the models’ walk that created the mood for each designer. Music was upbeat, modern and fresh and complemented the event from start to finish.

All in all it was a fabulous end to a successful week for Brisbane fashion. Below are some shots I took of my favourite pieces.

 

Enjoy!
