LMFF Presents Alex Perry

The L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival showcased Alex Perry's grand debut at the Royal Exhibition Building in the lovely Carlton Gardens. The location was the perfect setting for the exquisite show planned for the night of Wednesday 16th of March.

'Australia's most glamorous designer' stunned the audience with his 'Cuban Princess' Spring/Summer 2011 Collection. The show opened with Australian model and actress Megan Gale in head-to-toe crisp white to the tune of Michael Jackson's 'Don't Stop Till You Get Enough.' The lighting and music effects created a perfect atmosphere for the models to parade down the runway in crisp whites, fire reds, deep blues, and lush limes. The creations brought serious cuban heat to the show, exploring a more daring side of Perry who usually favoured a more muted colour palette in his collections.

The first flurry of ensembles were all in dazzling, crisp white then the dresses travelled into hot havana nights with sultry colours head-to-toe. All the towering models were sleek and beautiful with their hair in tight ponytails cut bluntly across the bottom, capturing the attention of LMFF ambassador Melissa George, model Jessica Gomes and Neighbours actress Valentina Novakovic perched in the front rows. There were many red-carpet signature numbers, with seriously glamorous frocks for sultry nights and extremely smart day wear.

The makeup by L'Oreal Paris was luminous with huge winged eyes. Perry's gowns have been exposed to be favoured by stellar stars such as Australia's own Miranda Kerr and Elle Macpherson.

The show closed with the star of the show Megan Gale in a blood orange latina style frock with Perry alongside. The fashionistas of Melbourne thought that Perry's creations were owed a standing ovation and the long rows took to their feet for the finale.
