The 2019 International Runway, and Virgin Australia Grand Showcase Runway Highlights

Wish every day could be the Festival? Same. The fashion crowd were spoilt for choice during the 2019 Festival, with plenty to see and do at The Plaza at the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton. The International Runway, presented by Global Victoria, captured our hearts with stunning bright hues, elegant silks, and shimmering fabrics that are now on every girl’s must-have list. These AW 2019 fashion trends continued into Runway 3, presented by Harper’s BAZAAR, where jaw-dropping style met elegant statement pieces. A fitting runway to celebrate Viktoria and Woods’ 15th Anniversary collection. The VIPs were out in force at the Virgin Australia Runway Bar, with influencers and celebrities alike enjoying the party vibes. With the cocktails and Le Petit Rosé flowing there was plenty to enjoy between runways, including the latest looks at the Shop The Runway® display. The night culminated in the incredible Virgin Australia Grand Showcase Runway, featuring the newest collection by Carla Zampatti. The iconic Australian put on a show-stopping display of sophisticated, classic looks with a sleek-modern twist. Accompanying her runway was pop sensation Dami Im, supported by Nick Wales and Jonny Seymour.
