David Jones Runway Shows are a highlight of the Sydney fashion calendar, and last nights Autumn/Winter 2014 Preview was no disappointment. In a spectacular presentation, reminiscent of a Tim Burton film, guests were transported through a magical labyrinth and were offered a must-have insight into upcoming trends, and the latest offerings from Australia’s most coveted designers.
Models included the likes of Australia runway royalty Jessica Gomes, Samantha Harris and Montana Cox. Designers from Christopher Esber to Michael LoSordo, Camilla, Alice McCall, Bec & Bridge and Nicola Finetti are amongst the David Jones family, with over 200 looks hitting the runway for the show.
This year’s Autumn/Winter preview was a bittersweet one, the last for Collette Dinnigan’s popular ready to wear collection. The talented designer presented an impressive farewell collection which is sure to be snapped off shelves quickly.
The event was a star-studded one, with The Great Gatsby’s Elizabeth Debicki, actress Rachel Griffiths, Isabelle Cornish and singer/songwriters Megan Washington and Sarah Blasko amongst those in attendance.
The show was opened by the stunning Jessica Gomes, David Jones Fashion Ambassador, who graced the runway with her signature stride. Rescu. Beauty Expert Michael Brown sat down with Jessica Gomes to discuss the show, the season’s upcoming trends, and what to expect from beauty in 2014.
