Feast of fashion

YOUNG designers will get the chance to show off their creations at this year’s Peregian Beach Food and Fashion Fiesta.
Applied Fashion Design and Technology students Yasmin Bridges and Clare Faulds will be part of the event’s push to showcase not only local business but also local talent.
Event co-ordinator and Lions Club member Michele Lipner said it was exciting to offer local designers the chance to showcase their talent in a fashion show.
“This is exactly what we are seeking to achieve with the Food and Fashion Fiesta – to promote local businesses and what is available if people buy local,” she said.
Peregian Beach Business Association spokeswoman Nicki Jutbauge said the fashion show is designed to give event-goers a taste for this season’s spring and summer collection from local boutiques.
“Including a selection of Yasmin’s and Clare’s designs is a great opportunity to promote two distinctive up and coming young designers from the Sunshine Coast,” she said.
Yasmin, who uses sustainable and recycled materials, sees her designs not just as fashion but as a means of encouraging people to think about what they buy and consider the ethical impact of their choices.
Clare targets her designs at the woman who wants a wardrobe that is stylish, comfortable and can be quickly assembled and worn.
The Peregian Beach Food and Fashion Fiesta in on 3 September, from 11am to 2.30pm and will be held in the Peregian Beach Village Green.
