Much more than a face, Adelaide Fashion Festival 2013

The idea of a fashion festival that inspires both creativity within the local industry and also nurtures consumer excitement needs that special something to tie the whole message together. That been The Face of the festival, a representative and ambassador that can carry themselves both on and off the runway. As well as been able to translate style and beauty to the public in a natural and relative way.

Now in it's sixth year we are presented with another high quality Finesse Model, Lucy Bayet, the face of 2013 Adelaide Fashion festival. Having worked for high profile clients including Marie Claire magazines, David Jones and walking for the likes of Collete Dinnnigan at Paris Fashion Week.

Real political policy that matters

There is a real need for local council to revitalise the central business district of Adelaide to attract a sense of city culture. One such councilor and candidate for Adelaide Mayor is Clr Francis Wong, who's forward thinking approach bought one of Australia's top designers, Bowie Wong, Bowie - Cashmere to Adelaide for an intimate gathering of socialites and fashion industry notaries. Which was proudly supported by Abache, Chandon, Mary Kyri, Soundpond.net, the gorgeous Pride Models & Richmond Hotel

Having only ever showcased some of his designs at Gerade McCabe Noir event the previous week. The collection he bought was sleek, modern cuts with standout garments worn by the likes of Lady Gaga and other celebrities.

Bowie was impressed with the city and his first impressions of our international standard airport and vibrant city culture having not visited Adelaide for sometime.

If Adelaide is to have a long term fashion retail trade that is constantly moving forwards in terms of been modern and on par with the likes of the eastern states then there needs to be positive and constructive input from council for not just overhaul of planning, zoning and reasonable council rates but cultural support for fashion events.

Below are the links for two of the candidates supporting a viable fashion retail revival.If you live in the city then have your say, at least this election the two candidates have a worth while policy, that is supporting Adelaide's fashion industry.

If there was a magazine issue launch to be at it, was the Attitude Absolut Adelaide held in a no more suitable place than LIMBO.

Mixing more than cocktails where a bevy of local and international fashion identities. I found it much more than a magazine launch but a catch up with the all important people that make our industry what it is. Be it models, agency pros, designers, boutique owners, stylists, the cool kids that wear the clothes or like myself blogger, stylist turned fashion event guru.

It was truely a party that reflected what the magazine is about, attitude, collaboration, style and most of all fun. Special thanks to CC for the invite.
