The Perth Fashion Festival launched its program for 2009, detailing a 7 day calendar jam packed with fashion shows and events, from September 4 – 10 2009.

I braved a frosty Wednesday morning to attend the launch at the historic Perth GPO building. Guests entered along a red carpet and past a window display of live models adorned with a variety of West Australian designer clothes, all in a white ethereal theme.

The centre of attention for the morning was Emily Cattermole, The Face of the Festival, who was wearing this amazing white dress by LinPin.

And Tom Bull, another international model from Perth, was presented as the Youth Ambassador for the Festival. I just adored his outfit by Aelkemi, and the whole babyface-with-facial-hair look. So cute.

As I scoffed down some breakfast pastries and flicked through the program, I was most excited about the individual designer shows by Ruth Tarvydas, Wheels & Dollbaby and Morrison. Yay, can’t wait!
