Last Friday '
Fashionista Events' held a Christmas Luncheon with a Exclusive premiere showing of Leigh Buchanan's Project Runway Australias finale collection.
The even was held at '
Freestyle Tout' in west end. Freestyle tout is a Popular restaurant in Brisbane that specializes in Deserts.
The whole show was held like they use to do back in the day when lady's have lunch while models walk around there tables dressed in the latest dresses and the lady's would be able to take a closer look at the garments and take a feel of it as well. It was very "Lady's who lunch"
A big thank you to Natalie D'Alessandro of
Fashionista Events for organizing EVERYTHING and To Leigh Buchanan for being a Total inspiration and an Amazing Designer. The event was such a highlight I had the best time, BEST LUNCH EVER.
'Leigh Buchanan' with the MC for the day 'Kath rose', introducing his collection that was about to come out.
This is the first piece that came out, It's from the episode that the contestants were given a surprise challenge of making a bridesmaid dress to complement there wedding dress from a previous challenge, only using the materials from the garments they already made in other episodes.
School Boy Chic. Inspired by Rufus Wainwright's "Release the Stars" album which the designer dedicate this to his mother.
"Barb's Frock!" Inspired by a pleated organza dress by leigh's Nanna dress that she made and wore to his uncle's wedding in the 70's.
This is noted as leigh's mum's favorite dress.
More of the 'School boy Chic' look with a close up of the crystal detailed embroidery on the vest.
" The little fringed cabaret corset". I tryed this on after the show and it didn't even reach my back. :'(
Leigh Buchanan's signature kilt look and the Egyptian collar corporate inspired outfit. With a little nipple action.
This dress was originally adorned with a gold and crystal cobra, posed to bite the breast. The cobra was the initial inspiration for the whole collection, but broke at the finale Project runway Australia after party.
"The Puff Ball" or as it's also know as "The Powder Puff" Dress.
This is literally my dream wedding dress. My mum will kill me for not wearing white but it would be worth it, now all I need is a groom.
