Local fine and fashion jewellery retailer Secrets may not have won the award for best Australian accessory brand but the company is proud to have run as finalist at the 2015 Prix de Marie Claire awards along with top-name Australian brands.
Secrets co-founder and managing director Jane Meredith attended the awards at Fox Studios Sydney on 21 April.
Her company was established in Noosa in 2000.
She said the event was a great chance to showcase Australian brands and designers.
“Despite the crazy weather Sydney has experienced this week, the turnout was incredible and it was such a pleasure to be part of,” she said.
“Even though Secrets didn’t win this year we are so proud to be a finalist at such a prestigious fashion and beauty event.”
The glamourous black tie event, which was sponsored by Lexus, Myer and Swarovski, had many surprises throughout the evening with Jennifer Hawkins, Megan Gale, Jesinta Campbell, Rachel Finch and Kate Waterhouse among others spotted on the black carpet.
Ms Meredith was also honoured to meet Marie Claire’s publisher and editor Jackie Frank and her successor Nicky Brigeron who mentioned her love for Noosa as a holiday destination.
The evening was hosted by Australian favourite Luke Jacobz and guests were entertained with a dramatic fashion show showcasing this year’s most celebrated designers.
Ms Meredith said the experience has inspired her to continue to give “all women the opportunity to own attainable, fine quality, beautifully designed jewellery throughout Australia and the world”.
