The venue’s tagline “it all starts at the Causeway” was a fitting mantra for a number of developing Perth designers, some just establishing themselves on the Perth scene. Fox Feet, as a not-for-profit fashion organisation, aims to mentor up-and-coming designers and give them opportunities, expertise and support navigating the Western Australian fashion scene. The group is fast becoming the go-to crowd in Perth for emerging designers with that hipster edge.
The dimly lit room took us all on a hypothetical ’24-hour tour’ of the many fashion possibilities within Western Australia in the one day. The show kicked us off with an early morning trip to Cottesloe beach as Cenote Swimwear and Kaftans by Clara-Ann showed us that we would not want to arrive at the beach any other way!
