Strand Arcade - 15th Annual Meet The Designers Night.

The Strand Arcade turned on all its charm for the 15th Annual Evening with our Designers night. It's always great to see the Strand in party mode and last Wednesday was no exception.
Plenty of designers to meet, Lisa Dempsey and Jacqueline Hunt of Jac + Jack and Nic Briand from LIFEwithBIRD, Dion Lee, Kit Willow, Miranda and Elektra Kilbey of Say Lou Lou, Justin Lack, Leona Edmiston, author and stylist Jeff Lack signing his new book IndulGENT. And of course, complimentary nibbles and drinks! My favourite of the night was the Balvenie Double Wood 12 year old single malt at the Balvenie Bar outside the Strand Hatters, my favourite shop in the Strand, we also tasted cocktails with Australian Four Pillars Gin up at mister mister - fabulous, Brown Brothers Prosecco and Solerno Fizz. As usual I did my mixing with you the people; the pictures say it all; Happy 15th Designers night Strand Arcade!

Evening Gowns at The Strand Arcade

Last night was the Final Year Ultimo TAFE Student, Ball Gown Parade at the Strand Arcade in Sydney. As I photographed one of the students ranges about ten days ago I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation to this Gala event. As one would expect the fashion students had pulled out all stops in creating some truly dazzling evening gowns. 

However, when wearing my 'Street Photography' hat its not the Gowns that I am there to shoot its the people in attendance. I spotted these two with a couple of their friends early on in the night and was managed to get off a shot of them in Pitt Street during a ciggie break after the show, before the final announcements. As it turned out the both work for a well known Sydney designer with the lovely lady on the right having completed the same design course only two years ago.

Two of the models from the parade. Agh; it seems runway make-up is a lot heavier than the make-up we use for shooting fashion! I have had the pleasure of photographing Sarah on the left several times in the studio & on location.

There's no point going for the shots someone else will get. Here's a top down view of the runway running right down the center of the Strand Arcade; my 'brother' photographers are forming a tight posse in the photographers pit at the bottom of the shot.

Thanks to the Students, Teachers and Sponsers for putting on a great show
