Event re-cap - Black Opal Women's Fashion Preview and Style Stalkers

Models wearing Husk - Lauren Cribb, Nicole Collins and Sam Farrow

The biggest event on the Canberra Racing Calendar (Black Opal) is almost upon us! To ensure that your outfit is nothing short of chic, I joined forces with Bethany Larsen and showcased a selection of upcoming race style courtesy of Jigsaw and Husk.

The fashion show played out on level 15 of the QT Lounge. The event kicked off with moorish canapés, flavoursome cocktails and flowing champagne. It was a delightful event, we felt like we were on top of the world, level 15, the cocktail lounge - so picturesque!

When I was asked to style the event, I jumped at the invitation. I enjoy race wear and I couldn't help but think I could really show people how to push style boundaries at the races. Teach people about the colours and fabrics for the A/W18 season.

I have to say the designers from Jigsaw and Husk nailed it - from luxe lace to bad-ass leather jackets. I was told the style combos made attendees think about not only race wear but their dress choices for the office (to STYLE UP wear to events like Black Opal).

I collected my fave key looks to help you with some inspo. Mix leather with lace and bust wearing culottes!
