So it has officially been TWO WEEKS since we wrapped up our inaugural Carmichael Motors Mercedes-Benz Townsville Fashion Festival and the team have been recovering from the amazing weekend that was had by all!
We wish to express our gratitude to absolutely everyone that was involved including our wonderful sponsors, the dedicated core committee members, hair, makeup and photography teams and of course all of the beautiful models and volunteers! As well as anyone and everyone else who helped our festival to blossom in any way, shape or form. The weekend would not have been a success without the contribution of each and every one of you.
So here I am to give you all the inside scoop on the events of the weekend. Sorry to have kept you waiting! You must all have been itching to hear all about it!
Thursday night was when it all kicked off at at The Brewery with 'Lights, Camera, Action' brought to you by Escape Travel and it was a stunning night wherin guests mingled and models showcased some of the beautiful designs featured in our festival. The hair and makeup teams really brought their A-Game to this event with some artistry that would have made Lady GaGa do a double take.

We could not have asked for a more perfect start to the weekend than this evening of glamour and fun!
This night was then followed up by the incredible event that was Casey Dentists' 'The Runway'. A beautiful night that showcased all of the designers talent and brought a whole new level of fashion and elegance to Townsville at The Venue.
Aside from the breathtaking fashion display on the runway - which was an event in its own right - there were photobooths, croquet, platters of mouthwatering canapes, mini-bottles of Brown Brother's delicious wine, and the Flinders Cosmetics' Powder Room where guests were pampered by the professionals during intervals from the show.

So there you have it - that was the Friday night event - an evening filled with talent, creativity and glamour! Just one last day to go in our festival!
On Sunday we wrapped up Townsville's very first fashion festival and everything came together to allow our team to put North Queensland on the fashion map once and for all!
The free 'Alfresco Fashion on Flinders' event brought to you by Townsville City Council was blessed with lovely sunny weather and everyone who came down was treated to fashion parades throughout the day, a nice little pampering at the Flinders Cosmetics Pavilion and the opportunity to purchase designs that were showcased during the festival at quaint stalls set up around the main runway.
All in all the weekend was an amazing success and we are looking forward to doing it all again next year! The TFF committee have worked tirelessly to bring this event to life and it feels amazing to have everything come together so beautifully.

Once again thank you to all of our amazing sponsors!

Ciao for now Townsville!
