Women of fashion unite for a cause
A handful of Perth's leading fashion identities will come together on Thursday to help disadvantaged women and their children.
Heavyweights from the design, modelling and social worlds will gather at the Royal Freshwater Bay yacht club for the Variety Toy Bank Fashion Runway Luncheon, which will combine catwalk shows with decadent food in the name of charity.
In addition to proceeds from ticket sales going towards the cause, attendees will also each bring a new unwrapped toy or gift to be collected by the organisation.
The toys will then be distributed to women's refuges and shelters around the state and given to children that come from domestic violence situations.
Guests will also have the chance to scope out the new spring/summer collections from several local labels, which will send their new season wares down the runway during the lunch.
WAG and Bruug designer Natasha Butler will show off her classic and easy pieces, while acclaimed fashion star Nikolina Ergic from One Fell Swoop will present the label's draped, ethereal creations.
Rather than using traditional models, performers from the WA Ballet will instead strut down the catwalk and will be adorned in pearl jewellery from Linneys.
The guest list will feature some of Perth's most recognisable women in the fashion industry, including former model and producer icon Liz Carberry and Chadwick's Perth manager Tanya Muia.
