For me, the highlight of every year, bigger than both my birthday and Christmas combined is The Sydney Fashion Festival. It combines Art, Fashion, Inspiration and Music into one phenomenal week of catwalks and celebrity sightings.
I camp out for these tickets every year (metaphorically speaking of course!) I put an alarm into my phone the day they go on sale and buy a ticket for every single night.
Last year was my fourth year attending the sacred event and two of my dreams came true in one night. I purchased a front row seat for a mere $50 and after sitting down i had someone tap me on the shoulder and ask politely "Excuse me love, would you be able to stand up so we can get to our seats, they are right next to you." I went to stand up and almost fell over. Alex Perry and Jayson Brunsdon were standing directly next to me with huge smiles plastered on their faces. I can officially die happy after meeting them.
You would think that you wouldn't make a complete fool out of yourself when you meet two of your idols but lets face it we all have our faults and mine is becoming a blubbering idiot around fashion designers. All i could bring myself to blurt out was "I love you..." they both laughed and thanked me so politely i almost died.
Alex's garments came down the runway and i grabbed his hand and squealed "OMG you've got sequins!" He laughed and responded with "Of course would you expect anything less?" This goes to show you that even when you act like a complete idiot some of your idols will still give you the time of day.
After the show I was lucky enough to hang around and chat to both Jayson and Alex about what inspired their collections, how they started out and what drove them to this career. I can officially die happy now.
The event is never something to be missed, for as little as $20 you can experience all the world of Fashion has to offer, as well as mingle with the designers, get your hair and make up done and pose for magazines. This is a night out for every girl and you should all definitely put this on your bucket list.
