MSFW's first official runway show was a display of colour and texture, featuring some of the country's most talented designers.

I attended the Designer Series Gala with Thom from the amazing blog, Everyone's Celebrity.

Guests were treated to beautifully constructed gowns with detailed draping and embellishments, carefully tailored suits and vibrant colour.

The face of MSFW, Sophie Van Den Akker opened the show in an amazing Richard Nylon headpiece and was joined on stage by ethereal looking models dressed by up-and-coming designers Neo Dia.

Sophie also closed the show in a dramatic black Rachel Gilbert gown.

The night wasn't without controversy with PETA protesters interrupting Rachel Gilbert's runway show, angry at the designer's use of fur in her AW11 collection.

Despite this, the runway was a great success and showcased a great range of Spring/Summer looks which no doubt will be seen on fashion lovers this season.

Check out some of the pieces from the night:

Event: KPMG Ball

With my boyfriend Saul

Over the weekend I attended the KPMG Ball at Melbourne's Crown Casino. The Paladium Ballroom was decked out with beautiful candle sticks and rich gold fabrics as entertainers walked around in traditional 1700s period costumes to fit with the Armadeus theme. Guests were entertained with a dance performance choreographed by Jason Coleman from So You Think You Can Dance, a live band and DJ. 

I was lucky enough to have my hair done by the lovely and talented make-up artist Miss Aimmey. She amazingly managed to get my normally straight hair to stay in beautiful curls the whole night! 

The night was a great success, with many people dancing on through the night at the after parties.

Check out the pictures from the night:
