The Perth Fashion Festival (PFF) has revealed the line-up for part of the Designer Capsule component of its runway shows.
The festival, which will run from September 19 to 25, represents Western Australia’s largest annual fashion event, with approximately 40 fashion events scheduled for the week.
These events will include Fashion Paramount, and Designer Capsule shows which were introduced last year to expand the runway showcase opportunities for local designers.
This year, Designer Capsules one and two will showcase the spring summer 2012/13 collections of Daniella Caputi, Zsadar, Lisa Marjanovich, The Butcher and the Crow, Kim Barton, Steph Audino and Garth Cook.
Each designer will present 15 to 20 looks with their own choice of runway theme, music, lighting, hair, make-up and models.
PFF designer liaison Chelsey Wayte said the mix of themes and different styles of the designers on show will make for a memorable experience.
“The shows were a huge success in 2011 and will make a return on the back of positive feedback received from both designers and guests,” she said.
“Each capsule show appeals to a different demographic, allowing guests to view multiple labels in the one show. The Designer Capsule format also allows each label to put their own creative stamp on their individual showcase, and provides more runway opportunities for the ever-growing contingent of talented WA designer labels.”
Designer Capsules one and two will be held on the Fashion Paramount runway at Hackett Hall at the Western Australian Museum in September.
PFF is supported by the State Government through Eventscorp, the Department of Culture and the Arts and the City of Perth.
Further information on PFF 2012 program of events, including designers for the third and final capsule show are to be announced in the coming weeks.
