STYLEAID 2012 – RUNWAY PART ONE

IT’S TIME TO PARTY!
Historically the fashion industry has always stepped up to the plate when it comes to fundraising and campaigning for HIV/AIDS research and care for those living with HIV/AIDS. As Perth-ites we can be extremely proud of our very own STYLEAID which celebrates it’s 15th year in 2012 and more than $1 million raised in support of the WA AIDS Council (WAAC). With approximately 1270 people living with HIV/AIDS in Western Australia an organisation like the WAAC is vital. As well as providing a range of services to assist in the prevention of HIV/AIDS the WAAC also assists with the care and…
RASPBERRY + POP – SEASON LAUNCH
I have a confession. I knew very little about Perth label Raspberry + Pop before last nights show hosted by Emma and the team at All Of The Above Creative at 140 William.

With an established reputation of placing the spotlight firmly on Perth design Hatch are exhibiting a series of fifteen ink drawings by Cherish and a larger-than-life costume made by costume designer Nicole. The ink drawings feature a series of ‘dancers’ each in their own costumes and posing with their own unique attitudes. These dancers are not traditionally beautiful or even graceful but they convey the premise that…
A SWEET TOUCH OF CELEBRITY FOR MOTHERS DAY
Jeweller to the stars Carolina Barbieri was at her only Perth stockist Elissa Coleman Boutique for one night only last Friday. Blessed with an impressive clientele it is easy to see why her pieces have caught the eye of Kate Moss, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Aniston. Carolina herself is warm, friendly and happy to talk about her childhood spent travelling between her mothers home in England and her father’s in Florence, Italy. She gives you the sense that she is at once worldly and grounded, especially when I asked her what her favourite dish is – a simple vognole - pasta with…
