It all began with bump in at midday yesterday and the setting up of the photographs and ended at about 9.30pm last night with everything returned to the board room of the WA AIDS Council.

The sponsors thank you party returned to StyleAID this year and seemed to be appreciated by all who attended.

After a break of a couple of years it was decided this year that it would be a good idea to hold an event to say thank you to our sponsors for their continued support of the event and to welcome our newest sponsors into the fold.

In the past 9 years StyleAID has been growing and addind sponsors each year and this year is no exception.

With the 22 fantastic photographs from 20 talented photographers on display this was going to be a wonderful night.  Each of the photographers created a vision using the Heaven theme and interpreted this with the assistance of an outfit from one of 20 designers.

This formed the backdrop for last nights event and created an amazing vista in the Swan Room of the Parmelia Hilton Perth, along with some stunning lighting, draping and a plasma screen showing all our sponsors logos from the talented guys at LUX, OMG Events and Power Music.

With the support of Veuve Clicquot (served to all our guests) along with Chalice Bridge Wines, Gage Roads Beer and San Pellegrino this was a night to begin the building of the hype that surrounds StyleAID each year.

A menu of cocktail food was specially created by the chefs at the Hilton for this night and the guests all loved the food and the exceptional service as well!

With a specially designed centrepiece of hand made chocolates featuring StyleAID signs to compliment the stunning food and the Veuve this was a night to remember.

Media mingled with sponsors, photographers, designers and the board of the AIDS Council to fill the Swan Room with a really up vibe.

The only formalities on the night were a sensational speech given by Trish Langdon the Executive Director of the WA AIDS Council, which was really well received by all in attendance.  Thanking our sponsors and encouraging people to enjoy the photographs, Trish also announced the inclusion of a new sponsor for the night - Stefan The Diamond Centre who are providing a $10000 1 carat diamond for our exclusive treasure chest on the night for one lucky guest to win.

So more drinking and eating followed and the night ended with a few last stragglers taking one last look at the stunning photography before heading out into the wet Perth evening.

This was a great beginning to the lead up to the best fashion fundraising event in Perth.
