Final Swimwear Run @ Highlight ShowThe future of Gold Coast fashion has arrived. Last week Gold Coast Fashion Week showcased delectable swimwear, resort wear and ready to wear from the capital of dawn to dusk glamour. The event highlighted fashions for nation wide sun lovers; summer will never look the same again. Gold Coast Fashion Week wrapped up on Sunday night with the highlight and swimwear parades held at the Gold Coast Convention Centre. Designers from the Gold Coast and surrounds put on a show for buyers, the media and the general fashion loving public. Gold Coast Fashion Week was a trade and industry event that featured local Brisbane and Gold Coast designers.

The event was held by Special Reservations in conjunction with Division Model Management; business has never looked so fashionable. Kirsten Mitchell and Jason Purton combined forces to re-establish the event after the bad reputation GCFW gained from the controversial issue in 2007 of Maddison Gabriel, the 12 year old face of the event. Kirsten, director of Division Model Management has over 16 years experience in the fashion industry. Combining good looks and business is a feat that Kirsten has easily achieved; that’s why Kirsten was a first choice for Jason Purton from Special Reservations Event Management. Having worked for many Gold Coast events including an in-house career at the Versace Resort, Jason has a thorough understanding of the Gold Coast and the events the locals want.
