STYLEAID: Student Designers Set To Shine Again!

Last year at STYLEAID a new innovation from Aly May (STYLEAID stylist supremo and parade coordinator) closed the parade with a bang!

STYLEAID Photography Takes To The Catwalk

In a new twist on an idea that first emerged 5 years ago, STYLEAID is relaunching the STYLEAID photographic exhibition as a kick-off event this year on Friday April 30 at the Orangery Fine Art Gallery in Shenton Park.

Born out of an idea to create stunning fashion photography to raise additional funds for the WA AIDS Council through STYLEAID, this event is taking on a life all of its own this year. After taking a much needed rest this year the photographic exhibition returns with a group of great WA photographers who will all be displaying work that falls under the STYLEAID theme for 2010 – tribe.

This year marks the 12th year for STYLEAID and the night will once again showcase everything that is amazing about WA Fashion. STYLEAID this year also marks the last event at which I will be the event coordinator.

I have been involved with STYLEAID since the beginning when I worked as a committee member for the first 3 years. I took over the management of the event when STYLEAID turned 4 and have been fortunate to have seen the event go from strength to strength and become the number 1 fashion fundraising event in Perth.

Three Into Goes WOW

Well, it‘s official! In a first for STYLEAID there will be three amazing hosts taking to the stage to share the hosting duties at the event.

After doing an amazing job last year Narelda Jacobs from Network Ten returns to the catwalk along with two sensational first time hosts for the event. Finding talent to host STYLEAID is never an easy task and one that we begin very early in the year to see who would be interested in supporting the event by taking the reigns on stage. (more…)
