The Red Flora Fashion Parade Video

I am very excited to show to you the video of the Red Flora Fashion Parade! The parade took place during one night only in September, and it was the very first ever of its kind for Penelope Red. I finally feel like my Penelope Red designs are going somewhere!

The video, created very kindly by David Tan-Lu, highlights the latest Spring and Summer designs from Penelope Red, however, because I make very limited edition designs of everything, I am currently creating more- as some of the designs in the parade have already sold out!

It was a fantastic night of fashion, glamour, and shopping, and the video is the best way to see exactly what happened. You can watch the video of the parade above or watch the Penelope Red first ever fashion parade on youtube here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCEm7FG7JA0

The models featured in the parade are Monique Keenan-Norton, Olivia Stiefel, Deedee and Irina from BGM models.

Photos from the new Red Flora Collection Fashion Parade!

I'm ba-ack!!! Yes, it has been a long while since I posted anything... perhaps these photos will explain why!

I recently held a fashion parade, in Sydney, to launch my latest Penelope Red range, The Red Flora Collection! What a night!!! Y'know when you have had a dream that you wanted to fulfil since you were really young, and when you finally have it fulfilled, you feel like crying? Well, there were a few tears shed by me that night, and I was amazed by the response that everyone had to the designs. It was such an exciting whirl-wind of a night!

The below photos were taken by Johnny Yip. If you would like to see more, please take a look at the official gallery, on my website!



The girls all dressed, made up and ready to go... my nerves were really heightened at this point in time!

We decorated the venue with candles, lanterns, tea lights, and flowers.

Introducing the lovely Olivia... Naomi Meyer was the make up artist for Olivia and Irina.



And the very sweet Deedee...


And the quiet and calm Monique...


Lucy Topp Makeup created the make up for Deedee and Monique, as well as myself. I needed a little extra help that night, as my skin exploded throughout the course of the preparations.





The backstage crew... Lucy, Lisa, Olivia, Melissa, Monique, Me, Naomi, Deedee, Irina, and Leanne.

Introducing Irina!


The Red Orchid Lace Dress was originally in the multi-coloured lace, but it has sold out. Now I have created it in another red lace and red knit. You can take a look at it in the online shop here.


The kimono that Irina, above, is wearing sold that very night. It was a one of a kind creation, hand made from two vintage fabrics and a vintage braid... beautiful!


Well, I had to say something... after I composed myself!


Olivia wears the Hibiscus Halter Neck Dress, handmade from a stunning 100% cotton print (and cotton lining). It is now available in the shop online.



After the parade, guests were invited to view the latest collection...




So many beautiful colours and fabrics!



My friend, Melissa, and myself... once we had a chance to relax! Melissa was such a great help- just what I needed!


Miss Lucy Topp creating that flawless make up she does so well!

You are invited to The Rocks Winter Showcase featuring the latest Penelope Red designs

The Rocks Markets has organised another Fashion Showcase, and the next one, on the 2nd and 3rd of April will feature my Autumn designs, The Red Queen Collection.

Each day is split into 4 parades; the first is always children's wear at midday; the women's wear parade's are on throughout the afternoon at 1pm, 2pm and 3pm. At this stage I have not been able to confirm the particular time that the Penelope Red section is on, so I suggest to everyone to head into the city for the middle of the day.

Included in the parade will be Asymmetric Black Silk Emilie Blouse:



and the Black and Cream Isis Knit Top:



plus many more exciting styles! The Rocks Markets will be open for trade on both the Saturday and Sunday, 10am til 5pm, and my Penelope Red boutique market stand will be there with the latest styles to try on!

The Penelope Red Winter Fashion Parade Video

The Rocks Markets held a Winter Fashion Parade, featuring Penelope Red designs, on the 17th and 18th of April. There will be an official film of the parade, and professional photographs, but I couldn't wait that long to get my hot little hands on it, so I made my own video...

It is a short little film- only 2mins long, and it can be downloaded from youtube here.



Take a look at the video here.
