Newtown Fashion Week
One of my dreams is to attend a Paris fashion show. Sit in the front row with Sienna Miller, wear dark glasses and tut tut as leggy models show off the designer’s wares.
I may never go to a Paris show but I did attend Newtown’s Fashionista extravaganza, Flaunt It by catching a show at the Marlborough Hotel.
My mate Vic managed to get us front row seats and we all received a complimentary glass of bubbly on arrival. Class! Like all good fashion shows, there was a sectioned off VIP area. The crowd looked like they were either from glamour media or family. I did spot a bloke wearing a singlet and shorts. He had a 711 plastic bag on one leg and a schooner of beer on the other. Perhaps my journo mates and I should have tried to muscle our way in.
Nevertheless our front row seating was pretty special. It was fun having such a close up view of the models, all gammed up in clothes from Newtown’s fashion stores. There were shorts, shifts, leggings, jeans and a wedding dress. The models were all gorgeous. They also looked like they ate food. As for the blokes, well I let Vic’s mobile phone picture speak for itself.
My only big regret was that I didn’t attend the special events around Flaunt It. Lunamorph looked very interesting and The Fitting Room, no doubt would have been a success. Oh well, hopefully next year. If any reader attended these events, I’d love to hear about it.
