September 2004 - Media Launch @ the Colonnade
The
red carpets were rolled out at the Colonnade for the launch of Perth
Fashion Festival 2004. State Premier of Western Australia, Dr Geoff
Gallop, announced WA's Designer of the Year, Ray Costarella. Nominated
by industry peers, Ray Costarella has been acknowledged for his
enormous contribution to WA's fashion industry. A $5000 cash prize
was part of the winning prizes, a Costarella design was also buried
in a time capsule in front of the Colonnade. It'll be interesting
to see the reactions of the public 100 years or so later when they
dig it up. Hopefully, they'll still be wearing fabrics by then! |

Sept 2004 --VIP Launch Party @ Onyx Lounge Bar presented by Stuart
Anderson
Rebellious
chicks in sexy bikinis lusciously strutted their stuff on a catwalk
dirtied with graffiti. Models included a 7-year-old flashed rude
gestures at guests. A parade routine going wrong? Not likely,
in fact it was purposely a controversial show designed to grab
the headlines, and it worked brilliantly! Stuart Anderson reinvented
himself (and challenged the establishment) by transforming his
upmarket and elegant swimwear collections to this sexy funky collection.
WARNING!!! "Punk Ass" needed to wear any of these.
