Princess Lisa on a Glamorous Holiday

Princess Lisa from Style Palace is on a well deserved break on a yacht cruising the gorgeous bays of Turkey. We were extremely envious when she sent through these pics but she does look gorgeous and relaxed and ready to come back to the Palace next week - we know she can't wait and that she misses us all so much. We can't wait to have you back Princess. We miss you too!

A Sneak Peek at Louis Vuitton's Fall 2010 Campaign

The Style Palace team adore this vintage-style pic of the Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 Campaign. We also love the fact that they mixed their choice of supermodels featuring Christy Turlington, Karen Elson and Natalia Vodianova in the campaign. They all look beautiful, radiant and prove that the more mature woman (in model terms) can still look amazing. We heart the bags too!

Chambord® Shine Awards 2010 Explodes Onto the National Fashion Stage

With past winners Carl Kapp and AJE going on to huge success dressing top Australian celebrities and opening their own flagship boutiques, Chambord® Shine Awards are offering designers even more this year. As well as taking the Chambord Shine program national for 2010 with Runway Showcases in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, the grand prize of Chambord® Shine Awards in 2010 is bigger and better than ever. The winning designer will get to show their design to 2,000 consumers at the Strand Arcade’s “An Evening with Our Designers”, the design will be worn by a fashion forward celebrity during Spring Racing Carnival and they will also be able to show their own collection at Australia’s largest consumer fashion festival in 2011, thanks to Chambord. From applications and recommendations from Chambord’s many fashion industry contacts, 8-10 designers will be invited to showcase garments from their current collections in pop up fashion shows, The Chambord Shine Runway Showcases, at Cloudland – Brisbane (29th June), Longroom – Melbourne (6th July) and The Loft – Sydney (7th July). A panel of celebrity judges and event guests will take part in the judging process choosing the ten finalists that will be commissioned for the Chambord Shine Awards Final.

The ten finalists will be given a brief to design an outfit for Spring Racing Carnival and given $1000 each to make their creation. The finalists will show their creations to a panel of judges from the Chambord Council of fashion industry insiders at the Chambord® Shine Awards 2010 final at Sydney’s Strand Arcade on Wednesday 1st September.

The winning design will be worn by a celebrity at the 2010 Spring Racing Carnival and the winner will also receive a runway show at Australia’s largest consumer fashion festival.

“We feel so honoured to have been aligned with a label like Chambord and so flattered that our Chambord creation was chosen by such a respected panel of judges. It is truly inspirational that Chambord is so encouraging of emerging talent within the Australian fashion industry and the Shine Awards are an amazing platform to showcase this. We wish this year’s contestants all the best.” Adrian Norris, Bree Norris and Edwina Robinson of AJE

“It is now nearly two years on from my win at the Chambord Shine Awards and my label has grown from strength to strength. I have been fortunate enough to dress some of Australia’s most glamourous women including Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman, Rose Byrne and Rachael Taylor. Being associated with Chambord and their Shine Awards program really opened doors for me. I look forward to seeing who walks away with the prize this year.” Carl Kapp

Diploma Clients 'Shop like Carrie Bradshaw' at Style Palace..

Last night Style Palace was delighted to open its showroom doors for a ‘Shop Like Carrie Bradshaw’ event which was hosted by leading Perth property developer, Diploma, on behalf of its many apartment buyers throughout Perth.

The event was inspired by the recent release of ‘Sex and the City 2’ and was a great excuse for Diploma and its clients to celebrate everything fabulous about inner-city living such as restaurants, cafes, bars, galleries, and most importantly – fashion.

Diploma has many style conscious clients and the event was a great excuse for them to drop by our showroom in East Perth, enjoyed a chilled glass of champagne on arrival and browse two floors of gorgeous fashion from Australia’s best emerging and established designers. Style Palace is also the stockist of Samantha Wills accessories and items which were chosen by Sex and the City stylist Patricia Field to appear in the second feature Sex and the City movie were available for purchase during the event.

Local Perth paper, The Sunday Times, dropped by to take some photos so we will be sure to check out this weekend’s edition of STM to see which shoppers were snapped in action.
In the meantime, we are busy getting ready to open our showroom doors again tonight for our very special Designer Stocktake Sale from 4pm to 8pm. We look forward to seeing all our Perth based clients very soon! x
