FABULOUS FREO FASHION

Most West Australians know Fremantle for its historic buildings and buzzing café strip but few realise that the port city is also home to a vibrant fashion community full of talented creatives. To celebrate this year’s Perth Fashion Festival, the folks from the Fremantle Fashion Collective have banded together to makeover Victoria Hall, promising a highly conceptual exhibition featuring an array eye catching garments and accessories.

RIPE FOR THE PICKING

The Urban Orchard will be brimming with fashionable fruit this Sunday, September 12, when Unwrapped: The Marketplace sets up shop for the day. This special Perth Fashion Festival edition of Unwrapped will offer up freshly picked goodies from a range of West Australian designers including David &/or Billy, Igor & Katja, On A Whim, Zanthus, Nashi And The Magpie, My Girl Gwendoline, Lily In Love, plus a whole lot more.

REUSE, RECYCLE, RESTYLE

The Perth Fashion Festival will temporarily avert its gaze from new season fashions this Thursday, September 9, focusing instead on the fashions of yesteryear and yesterday with ReStyle. Now in its second year, ReStyle encourages shoppers to reduce their carbon footprint and support local charities by heading first to op shops rather than boutiques when hunting for new outfits.

AVATAR

West Australian based student designer Jeromy Lim will pack his bags for an overseas adventure next month to participate in the finals of a prestigious international fashion competition hosted by the Paris American Academy and the International Textile and Apparel Association. A student of Curtin University by day and Polytechnic West Institute by night, Lim is an extremely talented designer who isn’t afraid of hard work.

PRO-BONO POPSICLES

The folks behind the William Street Collective are hard at work preparing for Popsicle, their annual Perth Fashion Festival event. Instead of presenting a straight up runway show, Popsicle will showcase WA made designs in the confines of a pop up shop in the Perth Cultural Centre.
