Fashion Week Sydney Style!

Some of the perks with my new job include a lot of fun client events. Most of them consist of boozy lunches or pub crawls, which are fun but can get a little exhausting. One of the more unique events I recently attended was the Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival held at Town Hall. We decided to make it a girls only client event...well all girls and Tom. :-) But he fits right in.

I was excited about this event not only because it was something fun and different but I was VERY curious of the type of Aussie fashion they would have. Australia might be known for a lot of wonderful things, fashion is not one of them.

Tom and I trying our best to pose like the lady in the picture

We got VIP passes which allowed us to get a tour behind the scenes. Was the first time I saw models up close....let me tell you they are ridiculously skinny!

Hanging out in the pre party section where we got lots of free samples!

They had this booth where you could wear these funky dresses/ponchos and take pictures. Tom and I had a field day with this. Pretty much didn't take ourselves seriously at all.

Oh and they had some male models too
