[Pippa McManus Illustration] With Flowers in Their Hair

Illustrator Pippa McManus unveiled her latest exhibition 'With Flowers in Their Hair' at One40william this week. Pippa showcased an absolutely amazing body of work to the guests who obviously coveted her masterpieces according to all the little red dots next to almost all of the pieces half way through the night! Using models as muses each one has their own personality, which is highlighted through the use of medium and application used by Pippa. Talking to some of the guests the common response was that they couldn't pick a favourite- they just LOVED THEM ALL! I agree!

Pippa also recently returned from London Fashion Week illustrating for Mary Katrantzou back stage and straight off the catwalk! Before she could get her feet back on the ground she was back in Perth as the official illustrator for Perth Fashion Festival 2012 and also exhibited her interpretation of PFF's campaign images in an exhibition called 'Best Western' in Hatch throughout the week.

A massive CONGRATULATIONS on all your success Pippa, it's awesome to see a very talented local Perth girl achieving great things!!

PART III: Perth Fashion Festival 2012 {An Evening with Flannel}

I felt like I was in Paris....

An Evening with Flannel was unlike any other fashion event Perth has seen. The Museum of WA's Hacket Hall was transformed into a 1920's soiree by former Vogue editor Meg Gray and Perth Fashion Festival's Chelsey Wayte. It was like we had stepped back into the age of the The Great Gatsby and the atmosphere was magical.

Models sipped Pommery Champagne as they mingled with the guests around the bar and lounge areas introducing the first few looks of Flannel's new Summer 2012 collection, Neronis. 

Guests were seated at long tables dressed with fresh orchids and 'small gardens' in vases for the three course banquet.

With pearls in their hair, the fresh faced models gracefully walked around the room presenting more pieces from the collection Neronis. Featuring rose fringed silk jackets and dresses with ornate embroidery and velvet trims, lots of lace in monochromatic colours and beautiful easy-wear day dresses with subtle prints in mint and coral.
