Both local and national media reported on the evening declaring STYLEAID an overwhelming success. Highlights included the opening showstopper by host Hayden Tee, followed by the stunning talents of the West Australian Ballet, fellow host Verity James and entertainment from James Berlin and friends.

The parade featured 9 of WA’s top designers and six of Perth’s new emerging designers (due to an increase of interest from some of the hottest design talent in Perth) as well as some very special surprises along the way with a finale from the West Australian Ballet dressed by Material Boy.

Including perennial favourite su design along with designs from the spring/summer collections from 2005 WA Designer of the Year ae’lkemi, Preacher, the merge collective, lushlife swim and resort wear, Joveeba, Material Boy, Belle Bijoux Australia and the stunning collection of womenswear from the talented team of One Fell Swoop.

Six new designers picked from a field of talented young hopefuls also had the opportunity to show parts of their new collections, thus giving them an invaluable entrée into the world of group fashion parades. Bim Kenesis, Paper Doll, Stewart & McGie, Pia Bennett, United Constructions and Zeitgeist design delighted those in attendance with their range of different looks for the new season.

With the incomparable skills of stylist Aly May to ensure that once again the STYLEAID parade was filled with cutting edge glamour and style and the makeup and hair teams headed by Carol Mackie from M.A.C and Paul McClurg from Paul McClurg for Hair this was one parade that will not soon be forgotten.

Each year that STYLEAID has been held, tickets have sold out well in advance with not only the very stylish and brand conscious attending but also high profile members of the community, all wanting to support the important work done by the WA AIDS Council, and to also have a great night out!
