Step into the world of style and glamour as we fondly recall our exciting night at the Paypal Melbourne Fashion Festival. Picture this: amidst the electric atmosphere, we couldn’t help but beam with pride as we watched our six beautiful models showcase our chic dresses. Behind The Scenes, our whole team worked together to ensure our girls were not just ready but radiating confidence and beauty.
However, it is not just about the clothes themselves; it’s about the stories, the laughter, and the unforgettable moments that came with the night. Read on as we give you the inside scoop on how Monday and Saturday unfolded.
After the excitement of the night came to a close, we asked all six girls questions about their experience; What was the most enjoyable part of the day? What was your favourite feature of your chosen dress? And what stood out to you at the show?
There was no doubt, when asked the first question, all girls agreed that the “getting ready” aspect of the event was an overall favourite moment - who doesn’t love picking out their own dress and jewellery! On top of this, seeing the wide variety of outfits when attending the show and gaining inspiration for next year was a stand-out.
Speaking of fashion, some of their favourite features from their dresses were the feel of the fabric and the hidden zipper, as well as the corset’s within their dresses allowing for a beautiful finish and making it very helpful when they changed later that night. And how could we forget the bow on the back of Emily’s dress and on Hope’s stockings! Keep an eye out for this dress soon (*wink wink*).
A secret tip for people wanting to attend the Festival next year; go on both the first and last night! The girls absolutely loved the fun-nature and eagerness coming from both the attendees and the catwalk models. And whoever thought that a runway could turn into a dance floor? Definitely not us! The girls on Saturday however had a blast finishing out the night with a bit of a boogie!
Just quickly we want to thank the beautiful Hope, Brooke, Maskit, Gina, Emily and Ruby for showcasing our dresses on these night!! See you next year girls ;) Missed out on seeing us at the show?! Follow us on Instagram to keep up to date on everything Maison Oui!
