Having amassed a worldwide cult following and stocked in some of the world’s most desired shopping destinations including Barney’s New York, Matches in London and Harvey Nichol’s in Dubai, Yeojin will make her Perth debut at PFF’s sophisticated new home – Hackett Hall at the Western Australian Museum.
“I am thrilled to be opening Perth Fashion Festival’s Fashion Paramount shows with my Summer 2011 collection ‘Premiere’. This will be my debut runway in Perth and I look forward to showing my collection of sophisticated and feminine daywear to cocktail pieces,” Yeojin said.
PFF Director Mariella Harvey-Hanrahan said she was thrilled Yeojin had chosen to show her Summer 2011/12 collection at Perth Fashion Festival.
“Yeojin is a cult status label and a big name in the Australian fashion industry and we’re delighted that she will be the opening show at Fashion Paramount!”
“Yeojin’s decision to show at PFF confirms that our Festival is being noticed by all the right people. It’s encouraging that Eastern States-based designers want to show at PFF – it evens things out with so many Western Australian designers showing at fashion events like Rosemount Australia Fashion Week,” Ms Harvey Hanrahan said.
Premiere will showcase Yeojin’s signature style – an edgy elegance with razor sharp tailoring. The collection features necklines decorated with mesh fabric, sequined pieces that hug the body in an array of sleek silks.
PFF will launch its 2011 calendar at an invitation-only event on 9 August.

Media Release: PFF confirms designer line-up and new home for Fashion Paramount
Perth Fashion Festival (PFF) today confirmed Story By Tang, Ae’lkemi and S2 as its first three stand-alone designers that will show their Spring/Summer 2011/12 collections at Fashion Paramount in September.
Christine Tang’s penchant for party dresses, Chrissie Catling’s bold, minimalist look and Alvin Fernandez’s statement gowns will bring some serious fashion ‘cred’ to the new Fashion Paramount at Hackett Hall at the Western Australian Museum.
Winner of the PFF 2010 Designer of the Year award, Alvin Fernandez of Ae’lkemi said he was thrilled to be asked to be part of this year’s Festival.
“My business partner Annmarie and I were so excited to be invited to show at PFF. We are very much looking forward to staging our first solo show on home soil and can’t wait for the people of Perth to see what we do on an international and national level,” Mr Fernandez said.
PFF Director Mariella Harvey-Hanrahan said the line up of stand-alone designer shows at this year’s Festival is sure to impress and pique the interests of fashion followers of all tastes.
“Story By Tang, S2 and Ae’lkemi are three strong examples of the fashion talent we have in this State and we are delighted to have them on board for the 13th annual Festival. All have achieved widespread acclaim for their innovative designs and together have notched up an impressive show portfolio including StyleAid, G’Day USA, Milan Fashion Week and Rosemount Australian Fashion Week (RAFW).”
“Paramount will be the fashion pinnacle during the Festival and over the next few weeks we will have many other exciting designers and initiatives to announce as part of our 2011 program that is testament to the strength, diversity and growth of the Festival,” Ms Harvey-Hanrahan said.
“The Museum is an exciting and sophisticated new home for Fashion Paramount. The beauty of the venue is a fitting complement to fashion and its simplicity will ensure that all eyes are on the 32 designer collections we will be watching on the runway.”
Giant dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures will exit Hackett Hall in coming weeks so the architecturally and historically significant space can be transformed into a fashion venue able to cater for 5,000 guests over five nights.
With a European-inspired extra-wide runway, the Museum’s high ornate ceilings and stunning polished boards, the new Paramount’s understated elegance will be an impressive home for the Festival.
PFF is supported by the State Government, through Eventscorp and the Department of Culture and the Arts, as well as the City of Perth. Further information on PFF 2011’s new program of events and venues will be released in coming weeks.
Perth Fashion Festival will be held from 21 – 27 September.

JOSH GOOT POP UP STORE
For all of you in Perth that are always complaining that there is a lack of fashion in Perth I beg to differ!
This Saturday and Sunday Australian born turned internationally acclaimed designer Josh Goot is coming to Perth and bringing his collection with him, in a much anticipated Pop Up Store at One40 William Street.
The fashion darlings at Perth Fashion Festival have again out done themselves in organising this one-off exclusive event.
To make sure that you don't miss out on purchasing designer threads at bargain prices, head along to One40 this weekend.
E L L E R Y RTW SS11 RUNWAY SHOW
So as many of you know the much anticipated E L L E R Y RTW SS 11 l collection was launched at a VIP-Invite only parade held at One40 William street on Tuesday night.
Prior to the show I was lucky enough to attend the One4o William Pop up and score myself a little piece of E L L E R Y to take home with me, a limited edition dress that melted my heart and my pockets.
Whilst there I was lucky enough to scope out the venue and take a sneak peek at the set-up and layout for the evening.

The parade took place on the second floor of the relatively new One40 William Street building in a pre-fit out space that resembled an raw urban inner-city warehouse.
Guests were treated to sumptuous hor'derves, cocktails, wine and champagne, while the styling team and designer (Kym Ellery) primped and preened the models backstage until they looked flawless.
The atmosphere was pure excitement and anticipation as fashionistas, bloggers, stylists, designers, local perthonalities, magazine Ed's from around the country and yes the much talked about socialite Lara Bingle mingled and gushed over each other’s fabulous array of glamarous attires.
As the lights dimmed guests made their way to the allocated seating and the show commenced with up-beat indie tunes pumping, with the bronzed surfer-like models gracing the runway in true E L L E R Y designs; bellbottom trousers, sheer maxi skirts, accentuated shoulders, and sculptural jackets featured in copper, tan, gold, white, rose, and black.
Not to mention the exquisite accessories; the E L L E R Y et Graz catseye sunglasses and the Guillotine low-cut ankle boot with lucite heel in black proved E L L E R Y not only designs clothes to die for, she also designs out of this world accessories.
Following the show, guests were invited to join Ellery, Bingle and festival VIPs for an after-party at Wolfe Lane bar were Oyster magazine's Ariane Halls took to the decks entertaining the select VIP.
