Last weekend, I attended the STYLEAID 2010 Ball – the biggest fashion fundraiser event in Western Australia. It was SUCH a cool evening!

The fashion show was probably one of the best I’ve seen in Perth, in terms of the range of styles, the quality of designs, and also the overall production and presentation.

Some of my favourite designs for the evening:

Aurelio Costarella – Once again, Ray’s creations completely dazzled me. This collection seemed to be all about the details, with each garment featuring an amazing mix of fabrics like silk, leather, lace and velvets.  I want any one of his black dresses!

Of Cabbages and Kings – A new name in the Australian fashion scene, these guys have created some very strong and striking garments. Their media photos were very impressive too.

When I saw the red dress come down the runway, I immediately perked up and thought that it could make a wonderful home in my wardrobe indeed.

Tim Godbold – Back from working at Ralph Lauren in New York, Godbold has recently made a return to the Australian fashion industry, launching his own ready-to-wear label. His collection is gorgeous and oh-so elegant! I love the simple, fluid and effortless shapes.

When this male model (pictured) walked down the catwalk, I believe every woman – and quite a few men – in the audience, stopped breathing and may have choked on their second course. I know I did!

As for what I wore to Styleaid: I turned up in a very shiny, look-at-me, silver mini dress from one of my favourite West Australian designer labels, Joveeba. Clutch is from Betts. Shoes are from Wittner. Earrings from Diva.
