After clicking away at the Mbff Schwarzkopf Professional Hair and Fashion Show... I made my way to the much talked about and anticipated YEDP ( Young Emerging Designers Party) organised by the Felix and Slink ( group ), masterminded by its Creative Director Mr Tom O'connor, and sponsored by a bevvy of heavy fashion players within the industry.
Keeping to its strict ticketed event policy... if your name was not on the list, then 'slim', would have been your chances of entering into this 'exclusive' soiree.
The atmosphere was 'fanciful'... I truly felt that I was in an episode of 'Gossip Girls', where the young and elite fashion minds of today and tomorrow were mingling amongst themselves, clinking flutes of bubbly and cheek to cheek air kisses smothering the atmosphere.
Pee Wee Herman style clad preppy's to the left of me........, a fashionista dressed to resemble that of part sailor moon ( the cartoon character ) and part little miss muffet who sat on a tuffet.. but looking absolutely stylish xx, to the right of me. The air was a buzz with creative minds thinking aloud.
The YEDP was a night when the stylish elite young guns... (along with the experienced players...) came out to frolick and play in the lounge room of Laruche.
I departed after the showcase parade.... but was there long enough to have come to the conclusion that Mr Tom O'connor is indeed extremely clever, I believe that he has only just begun casting his great creative eye onto Brisbane, and that he is influencing a new wave of 'social party etiquette'.
It is safe for me to predict that Mr Tom O'connor has definately raised a 'new bar' in the social scene of Brisbane, and that any event Mr Tom O'connor organises or collaborates with will surely be a 'must attend' event from here on........xox. Felix & Slink.. possibly in demand. Or should I say Mr Tom O'Connor highly in demand.
