King Street is well known for being a style and luxury hub in Perth, with international luxury brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Bally, Tiffany & Co. mixing it up with local high-end boutiques such as Varga Girl, Periscope, Subway DC, Wheels & Dollbaby and more.

Today King Street held a cute, garden-party styled fashion parade showcasing the latest King Street labels and fashion.

It was an interesting experience for me. I was invited there as “media”, but I didn’t really fit in with the rest of the media pack – that is, the crowd of photographers, each with formidable camera gear. Because there I was, dressed up in a pretty spring dress, stilettos and a tiny silver point-and-shoot camera. I guess I was more keen to meet, talk to people and maybe hand out my card.

I sat at the end of the catwalk and had a great view of all the outfits. Melanie Greensmith of Wheels and Dollbaby was this year’s Walk of Fame winner, honoured with a special plaque to be installed in the pavement of King Street, alongside other West Australian fashion legends.

They served coffee and cake to all guests. The atmosphere was nice, relaxed and happy, in a sunny springtime kind of way.

I introduced myself to a few people and had a good time chatting. I met Anne-Marie Carpenter (pictured) Ambassador for the Festival, who was just lovely.

I want to say hi to Evelyn, a blog reader of mine from Singapore, who was in Perth for a little holiday and introduced herself to me.

Also a big thanks to Gordon, a fashion fan from Malaysia, with a really nice LV bag! He was sitting next to me, and I gingerly asked if he could take some pictures for me. He was a so nice and friendly, and we talked for a while, but in the end I forgot to take a picture with him!
