The 140 Hearts WA Creatives fashion show we presented as part of Perth Fashion
Festival 2011 went off with a bang thanks to WA DJ Will Slade who played
exclusively released tracks by some of WA's finest bands and set the mood of our collaborative affair.

The show was a collaboration of WA creatives like no other. Fashion merged
with music and music merged with styling, as 140 stylist Marcia Ball combined
custom made high end accessories, designed by some of WA's most sought
after designers, with high street 140 retailer looks.

The looks presented to those lucky enough to attend showed
how to take catwalk ready pieces from runway to reality. Everyone
knows that true style is about mixing designer labels with high street
and lower price-point fashions and the 140 show was a perfect example
of how to make this happen.

Spotted in the audience were West Australian Fashion Editor Pip Christmass,
Simon Fasolo of popular WA band End of Fashion with WA designer girlfriend
Anna Excel by his side as well as all 4 members of emerging pop/rock act,
The Witches complete with publicist in tow. The Witches were there to
open the show with the official launch of their debut single 'I Thought I Saw A Ghost'.

Models strutted out to the track in nomadic looks in a mix of totally neutral
or completely dark grey hues wearing 140 retailer looks with pinchandspoon
neck-pieces designed exclusively for the show by Isobel Macaulay.

After Macaulay, appeared the work of 2010 Fine Details Award winner,
jewellery designer Alister Yiap. Yiap showcased his signature
out-of-the-ordinary statement runway pieces such as silver wings,
and metal back plates as well as some new commercial pieces
including earrings and cuffs which were also all custom-made for the
show and an obvious crowd pleaser.

The collaboration between Bunbury designer Genevieve Daley and
140, fostered by 140 stylist Marcia Ball was the final designer display
for the show. Daley's obvious flair for colour with her individual
accessories in the form of head-pieces, neck and wrist straps
complimented the styling of the SS 11/12 trend of colour blocking in
almost fluro brights.
