Perth Fashion Festival 2009 showcased Australian designers at Fashion Paramount from Sept. 4 to 10 in Perth, Australia. Among the designers featured were Little Gracie, Ashe, Of Cabbages and Kings, Breathless, Antipodium, Flannel, Megan Salmon, Story By Tang, and Empire Rose on Sept. 5, and Wheels & Dollbaby on Sept. 6.
The West Australian government’s Department of Culture and the Arts funded two Designer Collections shows to feature West Australian talent. The festival Web site lists these activities as part of the fashion week: a model search by Chadwick Models, a luncheon show of spring fashions by Manning Cartell (the designing sisters Vanessa, Gabrielle, and Cheryl) held at the Hilton, and the first Student Runway event which gives area students a place to show their creativity.
