As the producer of the Jaime Lee show before this one – On Day 2 of Perth Fashion Festival – as soon as we loaded up the truck with our floral arches I sent my intern with everyone else to set up our campaign shoot due to take place at Claremont Quarter the following day. Her covering for me meant I could stay behind and document the backstage action at Designer Capsule #1. The logistics involved in making this happen were epic, but I’m so glad I made the effort to support other fellow WA designers including Empire Rose, Alister Yiap, Megan Salmon and The Butcher and The Crow, as they showed their latest wares. Enjoy!

This model for some reason reminds me so much of a character out of The Matrix films, I love her face! Above and below, both wearing jewellery by Alister Yiap

I just love what Empire Rose designer, Kathryn Cizeika is wearing below to match her wild hair


Alister Yiap burkas, very cool and below a model adorned with Alister Yiap runway jewellery. An incredibly innovative showcase from the designer. Well done! I have always been a huge fan of all of these labels
