Last night I was invited to the Raffles International Showroom and Launch Party. It’s the pre-viewing of this coming Thursday’s runway show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia.

The Showroom takes place at a terrace house in The Rocks, Sydney; and this is also a temporary home for the Raffles young designers to showcase their S/S 2015-16 collections.
As the runway show at Carriageworks is on the coming Thursday, the 16th; which means that we had the first glimpse of the creations of these elite young designers from Raffles College of Design and Commerce.

The launch party of the Showroom last night was held privately for media. I was very happy to be a part of it. Not only did we get to mingle and celebrate with these designers, we were provided by bubbles and nibbles throughout the night!
The list of the Showroom designers are:

580 by Matiny Ng

Asanovski by Fatima Eunji Asanovski and Azize Eunmi Asanovski

ANY STEP by Amy Le and Stephanie McGuigan
