Jen Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 First Lady in Red THE SUNDAY TIMES September 17, 2006 By Claire Davies PERTH Fashion Festival ambassador Annmarie Carpenter will open the Telethon Celebrity Parade on Saturday in a stunning, ruby-red Ruth Tarvydas gown. The inaugural charity parade will be part of the festival’s 10-day calendar of events. Mrs Carpenter, wife of the Premier, said she was happy to help such a worthy cause and the parade would be a great opportunity for local designers to showcase their talent. Coming to Perth for the fashion fundraiser will be television identity Ada Nicodemou, who will wear a dress designed by Melanie Greensmith of international label Wheels & Dollbaby. Other personalities taking part will include international model Hannah Fell, who will be wearing Aurello Costarella, Michelle Guy (Donna Tobin Couture) and lawyer Patti Chong (Breathless). The garments shown at the Telethon parade will be auctioned on the night. Festival organisers have pledged that a minimum of $20,000 will be raised during the evening. The eighth Perth Fashion Festival starts on Thursday and ends on September 30. For more information, see STM inside today’s paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 2006 Perth Fashion Festival Perth Confidential STM - The Sunday Times 1 October 2006. * Home and Away actress Ada Nicodemou was blown away by the threads of local designers during her whirlwind visit. "I absolutely loved Moocha Bella and Bootsie Design - I want to buy some pieces", the bubbly starlet gushed. ... * A bidding war broke out for the slinky Wheels & Dollbaby number modelled by Ada Nicodemou at the Telethon Celebrity Red Dress Parade. The diminutive star looked a treat in the figure-hugging gown, and four separate parties fought hard to take it home. "It was pretty cut-throat out there," laughs PR Natalie Cameron, who was finally outbid at $750. The dress was bought by Nadia Walker, but Nat was delighted when designer Melanie Greensmith offered to create her a replica dress. "It worked out for the best - Ada is absolutely tiny and I probably couldn't have eaten for a week to wear her dress," Nat jokes. Nat, who pledged to donate the difference in the dress's price tage to Telethon, plans to wear the frock to this year's Melbourne Cup. There is also a picture of Ada in the dress which I will scan and post soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
